When my 6160 does this the only way I've found to sort it is turn it off, then turn the battery isolator off for 20 seconds, then turn the isolator back on.

Thanks, will give that a go🤞

Wondered if anyone had any thoughts about this? It did it again today, but this time the gearstick went stiff and was difficult to engage a gear. When it cleared itself the gearstick was OK again.

I have a 1998 Massey 6160 with the electronic pre select shuttle. Normally it behaves and works as it should, but recently it has been having a 'moment', and the back and forward lights flash alternatively with accompanying beeping. It will still travel in the direction that the shuttle has...

The spool not working properly might be set to single acting. There is a screw on the spool slice where you put the pipes in that screws in and out, wind this the other way and it might well sort it

Thanks Treg, I have ordered some biotin boluses so will give them a go. I will also check the licks, pretty sure they have zinc so fingers crossed it will help

I have a cow that is struggling at the moment as the hard ground has made her hooves crack and she is limping a bit. Has anyone any advice or suggestions about effective ways to treat this? Thanks in advance

Good point about the radio, but it is an aging MF390 so the radio is intermittent at best and has to go some to be heard above all the noise [emoji1]

I have a tractor that I need to fit an isolator to as it drains the battery. I had assumed that it would need to be fitted to the positive, but will it do the same job if fitted to the negative? It will be a lot easier fitting it to the negative

Thanks for all the advice, i had to strip it down in the end as it turned out that the caliper pins were seized. Couldn't get the wheel off so a bit of a fiddle, but end result was fully functioning brakes [emoji3]

Thanks for the reply, i will have a scrabble underneath it tomorrow and have a look, fingers crossed that the pads are not worn out

Hopefully a Westwood Garden Tractor passes for machinery[emoji1] We have a Westwood T1300 which we use for various errands around the farm, but there is a distinct lack of brakes at the moment, when you push the pedal it declutched ok, just doesn't stop. Does anyone know how you or if you can...

Thanks, I shall try a fabricate something of my own worthy of the bodges thread [emoji5]
