Looking for tips on company's offering insurance for a farm digger (early 90's backhoe loader) that won't cost the earth! Currently with Adrian Flux but this years premium has tripled o_O

A vote for Labour is a vote for the Right to Roam in England, can't see why anyone involved in caring for land would want that :(

Thanks for this, not had chance to look at it yet. This is a huge help, thank you!

Hi all, Strange one on my 2014 MF5455 Dyna4, in the last few weeks the 'B' light on the dash has stopped coming on (in all ranges 1 2 3 4), initially it briefly recovered but now is always off. The Dyna box still works as in the tractor shifts into 'B', just the dash gear indicator doesn't...

Hi all, I'm planning to invest in a diesel tank for our smallholding. My dilemma is that the only practical place I can put it would be right at the side of the garage on full view. So I'd like to house the tank inside a shed/enclosed lean-to on the side of a brick garage, for both asthetic...

Fan belts were fine, new alternator seems to have fixed it 👍 Thanks for the help 🙂

Ok thanks guys, will check today. Fan belt would be an easy fix!

Hi all, Massey 3070 battery symbol light on the dash came on while spreading today. It's pretty dim. Rev counter also not working when battery light is on. It wasn't on earlier in the day and everything else seems fine. Continued with spreading and It did go off briefly at one point, the rev...

Hi all, I've seen a 4 rotor Lely lotus tedder with gates meaning it can row up as well as ted. What's part availability like for these now? Worried about investing in a piece of kit I can't keep going longer term. Are there any similar tedders available now new that can row up and ted like the...

You're not the first person to say that which is my concern. Might be the 'cheaper' option but still a lot of money!

Hi all, Wondering if someone could clear up the main differences on these for me? Asked dealer for a quote for an S last year, got a quote instead for a global (turns out they had a yard full), never did get an S quote despite asking again and at the time he'd never heard of the M! As I...

Sorry should have said! Mounted, no conditioner. One of the other things I should have mentioned is we are tight on undercover storage space, like the fact you can store those Krones in the vertical position 😎

Hi all, Looking at upgrading my old two drum mower for a wider disc mower to be able to cover more ground (Krone Activemow or similar) What sort of size would folks recommend behind a Massey 3070? Not wanting to stress it too much, don't want to break the rear casing/cross arms at all! Was...

Thanks guys! Yes makes sense as I do tend to be short and sharp with it. Will follow your advice :) it's a little worn down there but ok, I keep a close eye on it these days after the screw that pinches the shaft came loose!
