Garmin venu sq2 here, taking evertything that's been thrown at it for last 6 months or so, no dairy mind you!, but its never taken off and been in oil, muck, sh1t and the rest with no issues, few scratches on screen but all functioning 100%. Battery life is 2-3weeks at a time easy, i like that...

On a tractor of that age/spec should there be anything computer controlled that is supposed to prevent it from happening (e.g. not allow disengagement until wheels are near straight?... always assumed that newer tractors would use something like a steering angle sensor to control something like...

Two nights ago spied what must have been a hundred or more swans heading north, was an impressive sight in their different batches and formations spread probably a couple of miles wide across the sky just as dusk was falling

Defo no aux pump that i can tell, or ipto, or multipower, just standard pto wit ground drive. When we got it in the 80s it had a single acting screw on type tipping pipe activated by pulling lever to constant pumping, we just replaced this with a quick release, which is tapped in under the seat...

That's one from left field!, na couldn't do that to the 148, already hav managed to accumulate a second loader for the 398 as it was cheaper to buy a complete spare loader than get rams made, so now hav a short and long reach loader for it should i ever need a choice!! Was aiming for a 500 or...

Cheers folks!, can't really afford to lose lift control so not going to be as straight forward as I had thought!, altho do hav a set of the stays lying about and only use big bags, but would be a bit of a faf when hooking on jusy to throw a bit on a few acres! Second hand market for manual...

No multi or banjo on the pto plate. Don't need lift control when using hyd or anything as spinner will just sit at required height just need a setup to open the spout!

Might need to change the fert spinner in the near future, most options now seem to be hydraulic opening so might need to upgrade the mighty 148! Tractor currently only has tipping when put into constant pumping on the lift lever. A quick Google has brought up two options below, can anyone...

Has the uk not got secondary approval on card payments?, here in eire if I buy anything wit any card I hav to authenticate the payment on my phone (and it gives the amount) or payment doesn't go. Pain in the rear at times, but defo worth the hassle

I bought myself a single post car lift for these kinda jobs, doesn't need bolted down plugs into a standard plug and can be wheeled about when empty. Not the cheapest (2k ish probably 5 years ago) but it's a proper lift wit all the safety doda's and will last me forever

Hopefully get things drying a bit quicker, hit a blockage about 10m from this opening and been running wit a full pipe for over 4 hours now!, drain is taking water from a yard too so all the rain this winter had turned the field into a swamp! Best 'notion buy' I've made in last couple o...

I've had good success with a plastic welding kit from amazon, melts wire into the plastic to reinforce the joint, bit of time you can melt plastic over the joint again too. Will not be perfect but will hold

To keep any stock in r.o.i. you will need to register with dept of agri and get a heard number which will require an inspection from department vet and you will need handling equipment relating to the stock you want to keep, and have somewhere to treat a sick animal. Also check how far it is to...

This never made sense to me!... why put a 'bund' between your drain and presumably the land you are wanting to drain!... and then have it stuck behind a hedge for ever more amen when needing maintenance! We have a bit of this on part of our lower lying ground.. the ditch is dug on adjoining...

What camera u using?, Bluetooth to screen or cabled? would love to stick something on our front loader to give a view when picking up ibc's on the narrow side as am completely blind when toes are pulled in!
