The first thing is to to have a look at the condition of the current suspension. At that age it could be worn. Accumulators lose gas and burst whereas coil springs sag. When new you should have been able to get two fingers between the bump stops and cab base. Over time the springs sag and this...

There are a few different systems on aT7. 210. I make an upgrade kit for the tier 4a tractors which makes the suspension softer and gives more travel. I also have OEM quality accumulators at approximately half price of OEM, as well as air suspension conversions for the cab, depending on how...

These people had one at the time, very helpful. https://www.mannerscombineparts.com/

If you’re thinking the cab suspension is making the difference then it’s well worth taking the accumulators off and having them pressure tested and recharged. All accumulators lose pressure over time and it is quite common on hydraulic cab suspension to lose its performance over time. Some will...

Give Soil essentials a call, I found them very helpful.

It should be set harder if carrying heavy loads on the front linkage. To help prolong the lives of the accumulators.

😂 It’s certainly been a journey since the first post! The front suspension kits sell slowly as they only fit tractors up to 2015 model years. However the air suspension is going very well with lots going onto new tractors until the new cab with semi active suspension is available. There was a...

@joseluis97 The accumulators for this model should be 32 bar this is the optimal pressure for this model. I guess if there is more it’s for one of two reasons. Either you are testing the accumulators without removing them from the tractor? This will read the hydraulic pressure in the closed...

Thanks! I didn’t accurately record the hours, it was in bits for the best part of a year and it was just a few hours at weekends here and there. I guessed 10 days for the Farmers Weekly interview but really it would have been how long it takes to undo every nut and bolt, solve a few issues and...

It’s been a while since my last post on this drill, however I did promise to share the total cost of the rebuild. This week Farmers Weekly have published a write up on it so I thought I had better finish the post off! Isobus kit £2553 (Aug21) Genuine Vaderstad parts £3576 Shot blasting and...

Possibly a new rubber stamp as well!

Funny you mention that name 😂

It gets more amusing when you look closely, the cheque paper is almost card. Posted two days before the cheque was printed and sent before the ink had dried so had a perfect imprint of the cheque on the inside of the envelope 😂😂😂

Yes, the post code is on the advert anyway
