They're not even vaguely comparable in terms of utility. I may be wrong, but I think their most powerful unit comes in at mid 70'shp, with a max of ~300Nm torque. Compare that to a midrange JCB Fastrac like a 4190, which has north

Belarus are already imported into the US, as I recall.

It's a sliding scale. There's better and worse, but no-one's making open software systems which are generally available to be evaluated, updated and fixed, and the hardware side isn't much better. Sure, a Kubota, Belarus

An old Belarus 420A is a simple tractor. Even a modern 742 or 1220 isn't that complex. But it's simply not as capable as a Fastrac 4 or 8 series, or a Valtra N or C series, or a Deere 6, 7 or 8 series for example. They're jus

There's a few problems with that review. It's confusing air speed at a point with volume of air displaced, and assuming that volume at all frequencies is perceptually the same, which it isn't. Psychoacoustically, something wi

Don't roll your own auth. I seriously doubt you're going to do a better job at security than the AaaS systems out there. I couldn't, and no-one I know could. It's a ludicrously complex and subtle field.

Hear hear. Bumkin born and bred, living on the welsh borders and everyone around us is in farming in some way. I'm genuinely afraid for what the next 12 months will have in store in terms of the rates of things resulting for poor menta

It's a great point. It's not the next post I'm working on, but the one after that is explicitly about ensuring reliability, both with regards to the initial coder and other researchers, and the same researchers over time, and

The plan was for the next month to be building out a library of how-to feature/benefit pieces, and all the documentation, so that fits with our roadmap nicely. Nice to hear we're probably on the right track there!
