Now I know why Mrs May has been dragging her feet over this Brexit malarky - she obviously daren't risk complicating your latest import. I bet the tariff on one of those under WTO rules would be ginormous

They are yes, but they had a bit of hassle. All the wheels had to be removed to comply with road regs

Followed two combines & headers in to Hull docks one day & they just drove on the boat in front of us & off in Rotterdam the same , would be the same for a Xerion I would think

Local chaps fetched their Albach wood chippers from Germany and drove them back.
Did they come with 5% extra free?

Now hang on.
I can always make a cracking job of fudging up just about everything I touch, but you can’t blame Brexit on me!!!!

Even if it was only a wet day job between lime jobs it probably would have been long sorted

Oh yes but we would probably be part of some small African country and exporting water to them by a very long garden hose they had given to them as part of a trade deal on an exchange for peanuts!!!!

Right. Progress. But not much. Didn’t bother with pics as it’s basically what we did with Xerion A
All rear linkage off, front link extensions off. Keeping the front links on to mount a tool box. Thinking that could be handy. Links down for driving, links up, stand on the tool box for cleaning windscreen.
Had a measure up of the body, should have got a pic here, the Xerion already had four 80mm ball couplings to mount onto so I’m going to get the female bits and use those. Might save some welding and cutting of steel and look smarter.
It also has an 80mm Scharmuller ball drawbar so I’m thinking of getting the cup for my trailer. Might be getting ahead of myself here though.
I obviously have miracle hands. Seat wasn’t working, which I was a bit peaved about, but miraculously it’s all going again. Luxury.
Radio doesn’t work though. Never mind, if that’s the biggest problem I’ll be lucky.
Forgot, it wasn’t the biggest problem.
Took a guard off and found a very worn gearbox mount. Bugger. Double bugger, same on the other side, both rears knackered. Well, half knackered. Took them off, turned them round, fitted back. Better but not perfect. Massive job to completely replace. Order parts sometime, job for winter.
Again, if that’s the biggest problem I’ll be lucky.
Might start getting Mdrive bits off next.

Radio is no sweat as they aren't hard to replace in most tractors.
Worn gearbox mountings, that sounds like a cast-iron sod.
