    Does the WWK make any difference to how much trash or long stubble they can drill through?

    The field isn't near your house is it? I notice that happening in corner of one field by the house. My phone was switching back and fort between WiFi and 4g. Disabling the phone from using the house wifi, so it only used 4g, kept the correction age steady and low.

    Good reception /clarity new Radio for tractor.

    Will they actually last as long though as the push button radios from the 80s and 90s?

    Good reception /clarity new Radio for tractor.

    Main issue with reception seems to be the areal. Anything built into the roof is going to be a compromise and durable external areas seems to be even rarer than headings that have big buttons and no bling. The factory FM areal on the last JD here actually looks pretty good, sticking straight up...

    Annoying tools

    Get a Japanese built vehicle and you will get used to 12mm and 14mm nuts.

    A general purpose torque wrench

    Some people's "feeling" can be a little numb compared to others. For landrover wheel nuts I used a short 1/2" T bar to do them up. Some friends used a much longer wrench and would heave on it as hard as they could, then wonder why the nuts would be so hard to undo and the chromed caps distorted...

    R38 vs r42 speed difference

    Nope, because you haven't taken into account the size of the rubber around the wheels. The difference is still 4 inches, but it's 4 inches between 72" and 76" overall diameter of the wheel and tyre.

    A general purpose torque wrench

    I switched to using a torque wrench on an older land rover for a while and had issues with nuts coming loose. I switched back to doing them up by feel and didn't have a wheel trying to fall off again. Ideally a machine should get new studs and nuts if they have gotten worn or stretched.

    R38 vs r42 speed difference

    They fight most of the time anyway. Standard practice is to have front tyres leading 1 to 5 percent faster than the rears. Good reason not to leave 4wd engaged on the road, though most tractors engage it when the brake peddles are pressed. If your change the rears then you will almost certainly...

    R38 vs r42 speed difference

    How are you measuring the difference? If the tractor only has a sensor counting different teeth then it will still be reading the same speed if you change tyre sizes, but not be traveling at the indicated speed. If it as a radar or GPS input then it could automatically compensate for changes...

    R38 vs r42 speed difference

    42.4 km/h for the r42 at the same gear and revs. That's based on the difference in rolling circumference of one brand.

    AgOpenGPS Picture thread

    WAS not centered correctly would be my first thought if it is consistently driving off to one side of the line. If it was something like a an offset not right then it should at least appear to be driving to the line on the screen.

    I can upload it, though my cradle uses a length of channel from dexion shelves as a backbone. It might not be ideal as is unless you have surplus shelf parts too.

    Isobus is being worked on, but not here yet. There is already a variable rate module.
