http://www.fwi.co.uk/farm-life/farmer-year-robert-neill-takes-top-gears-track-tor.htm
Two challenges were created for the New Holland T7 to battle it out agains the Track-Tor - hedge cutting and ploughing. The Track-Tor had the speed but lacked the precision of the New Holland.
Robert also hitched a lift with the Stig during filming for the challenge, but wasn't prepared to hand over his Farmer of the Year title to Matt Le Blanc.

Using Cattle EID at Upper Nisbet
At Upper Nisbet we have been using electronic identification in our Suckler Beef herd now for a number of years.
As well as simplifying the regular weighing of our prime stock we have also devleloped a system of printing bar code labels for each animal entering the cattle crush. This system can be used when blood sampling to avoid human error and also to increase throughput of animals. Watch the videos to see how it all works.
Swarland Igolo
A much admired Black Limousin Bull, purchased at Carlisle in February 2015 for 9,000 gns. Igolog has Black genetics back three generations. He is a very correct bull with tremendous locomotion. An ideal bull for breeding replacement heifers.
Semen is now available for Swarland Igolo.
Ritchey Stockist
Robert Neill & Partners are now stockists of Ritchey equipment.
At Upper Nisbet we have been using Tru-Test weighing equipment for a number of years and we are now able to offer advice and supply the equipment to meet your needs.
