pickup

Looking to change our 3.2 Ranger and someone said the 10 speed isn’t good towing as it spends its whole time hunting for gears. Anyone know if this is the case?

Looks like a loader tractor at a junction with the bucket up high has caught a passing bus injuring several kids. Someone, presumably the tractor driver, has been arrested for dangerous driving. I'm not sure what steps can practicably be taken to prevent accidents like this. Ban on carrying...

I'm doing a bit of zero grazing with a mower and wagon. Is it possible to remove the conditioner on the mower? if so, would the wagon still be able to pick the grass up?

Age didn't used to bother me, I'm a young 60 fit, cycle hike, brain still thinks I'm 20, body starting to slow up a bit, . But christ 60 depresses the he'll out of me. Next milestone if I get that far is 70 and that will come quickly. Then knackers yard. No wife , no kids , no idea where I'm...

How much wear is too much wear?

We’ve had a batwing topper here for 20 years and it’s completely knackered. It’s been a good tool but I’ve never really liked the swath it leaves in thick material or the pickup behind the tractor wheels. Thistles are also a bit hit and miss without lots of other material going in the front...

Anybody know if there is a Claas equivalent to this Renault? Or at least a Claas with an identical back end? Can't get a service or parts manual and want to know what's involved in removing the hydraulic lid in case there are any ''nasties'' to look out for! It's constantly correcting the...

Any recommendations? Radio is kaput, are any of the suspiciously cheap ones online any good or do I need to spend £100+?

Northern lights are phenomenal tonight, go outside if you are still awake.

What are the pitfalls of possibly buying a sprayer and importing it back to here (uk)

Whats the best drone for farm use?

Spirit Levels. What’s the point of them on Farm Machinery? Have them on Manitou & Lemken machines here. Neither anywhere accurate. Somebody could have done with one when fitting it:ROFLMAO: What other useless features have others come across on their machines?

Predicted that within 5 years new cars won't be offered with a manual gearbox. Change driven by rise (& legislation) of EVs but also by new drivers opting to learn only on automatics. Be a bit sad IMO as it's a pleasure & a skill to match gear changes to revs but with flappy paddles, I have...

Hello, i’ve just gotten a 2,40 m wide disc mower without a conditioner. I’ve also gotten an old Orkel baler (the one that has an integrated forage harvester instead of a pickup, GP1202). This means that the baler can’t handle too much grass at once. By collecting the grass after the mower, i...

Are lots of ebay ads being written by AI now? Im toying with the idea of getting a van rather than my pickup. Browsing through different ones I keep reading virtually the same nonesense adverts that are just plenty of words but no real description of the vehicle. Is anyone else finding this?

Interesting to hear your thoughts! We have some sappy first cut, will be tedding behind mower.

New to trailed drills, struggling to turn round on headland without massive headland. Do people use drawbar or pickup hitch to get round this? Cheers Paul

An email this morning from Grenadier which accidentally admits that their ‘certified commercial’ versions were never actually such a thing. They have now announced a blind van that actually meets the legal criteria for tax purposes. The second row doors have been blacked out and made...
