Thanks, the limescale sounds like it, there’s plenty for gunk in the old water tanks, anything that can mitigate it?
I guess it’s a possibility although I do try and minimize it, it probably could be improved but it’s rarely longer than a minute or two when starting filing,
I changed mine this year the sprayer guy said the wrong oil can also f**k them up too
What's best oil? Different sprayer repair people say basic 20-50, 15-40, and sae 30.
Sprayer guy (probably from the same place given our location) also told me don’t use eco pto as the higher start up speed doesn’t help.think he said straight 30
but defo said not use engine oil
So that rules out using the pto as the the shut off and on in field work.
used the eco speed on a landquip for years and never did any harm.
Probably some tractor start with a bang rather than feathered in
