we've an Allied weigh platform in our race, we put in an extra sliding gate as well, it works ok but you've just to watch that all their feet are on the platform ... an added benefit is it can be used for other jobs, weighing feed bags/ silage bales etc.

Its been needing completely overhauled for years! I've been looking for a change for a while as well, probably going to give ilivestock a try, in my experience software updates always take much longer than they say

It was on a 2850 now on 6330

I’ve swapped the tractor on our kv 853 bedder from one with closed Centre to open Centre hydraulics. Is there anything I need to swap over on the bedder ?

I’ve actually bought the ransomes hydrostatic mower, so I’ll see how works once I get it home, but it’s a fraction of the price of a power pack so worth a punt. It’s got a 20hp kubota engine with a 27lt tank and oil cooler so hopefully it’ll work

Resurrecting an old thread, I’m looking at cheaper options to run a Mchale 991LBER that won’t tie up a tractor do you think An old hydrostatic mower such as this would have enough oil flow?

Got the same problem on my 6330, tried swapping relays and checked fuses , did you find the answer?

It wouldn’t be my choice, I still remember how bad it was shoveling out the last 20 t barley the auger didn’t reach 😂

It needs a proper clean first 😉 no loader which is probably a good thing for it’s age but it does have a Wilson front linkage which has been on from new

Just sold one for £500 with buyer dismantled, off to be holiday pod!! I had a lot of enquiries about it as well

Thinking about selling my classic 1990 JD2850 which we’ve had since 96 with one previous owner, but what’s it worth? It’s 4 wheel drive 30 k box with SG2 cab and hi lift 10800 hrs, mechanically sound (new clutch and fly wheel just fitted and hydraulics completely overhauled 2 years ago and hi-lo...

I think I might still have an original user manual, I’ll have a look tomorrow

Glad to hear we’re not the only ones, I’ve wrapped 400 bales in the last couple of days so starting to get a touch frustrating!! It’s unsafe the way it works just now

Did anyone ever get a solution to this problem? The software was updated on our control box so now if the film breaks it rewinds to allow you to fit a new roll, but then when it completes the cycle it tips the bale straight off, even if it’s in the wrong position

At last!! found the issue, the spring for the quick hitch bar had caught part of the wiring loom at the front of the wrapper [emoji28]
