First has done approximately 2000 hours.We've not had a breakdown yet but a small air leak on one which was soon fixed plus a couple of error codes rectified by turning engine off and back on.They are all the kvt version and ,I think,good value for money.Have they needed much under warranty?

What kind of moneyFirst has done approximately 2000 hours.We've not had a breakdown yet but a small air leak on one which was soon fixed plus a couple of error codes rectified by turning engine off and back on.They are all the kvt version and ,I think,good value for money.
Are they the ones advertised on here? From a tenant up the road?The Polish discs with an English name stuck on them have gone well today:

Bullock tillage? Look to be doing a fair jobNo, we went to look at those but didn't think the tractors we have could pull a 6 metre set. These are 5 metre, the Deutz was at about 85% engine load today without the levelling boards in, so I think it was the right call.
That implies the old one is still working ok... you must have Sucklers on the farm?thats about the height of spending this year, it’s texts me (well the mrs) to tell when it’s finished it’s wash, best bit is I get the old one for my overalls

Good to see I’m not the only one who still uses proper knots!Before anybody says anything, just because I have bought this, doesn’t mean I‘ve joined any new religion or cult!

Maybe he just loves driving his tractorHow does that pay
Not many folk know how to do dollies these days. I remember trying to learn many moons ago. I was shown countless times but never got it right until one day I just did it and it’s imprinted in the brain now! Use to be an art being on top of a load of small bales maybe 10 high and feeding they rope down both sides after anchoring it at the starting point then climbing down using the taught rope as a ladder. Great days. Oh and all bales “cut side out”!Actually, I’ve got loads of racket straps and i did use 4 on this. But I needed to tie the markers up to stop them waving around and I just got carried away with doing it the old way, instead of using any more straps.
Sometimes ropes are much simpler and faster to put on and remove.
I’ll always use ropes to tie a load of straw or hay on a trailer. It’s so much quicker to take off without having to roll up the straps. And it is far easier to throw a rope over a load than an unrolling strap.
The trouble is that not many people know how to do a half hitch knot these days. Sometimes I use two of them to get a 4-1 pull on the rope.
