I never expected to be able to farm thanks to my knees. Never had any injuries but I had alignment issues going on from my teens until it was sorted at 27. Ended up having 3 keyholes done that didn't do a great deal of help. The surgeon who did #2&3 admitted defeat and handed me over to someone...

So our tedder has a major crack in the frame, its a 2003 model. I'm looking for part number 260 593 0 labelled inner support tube in the parts book. Its the first section of the frame that connects to the gearbox. I know this is probably quite a long shot but might as well ask. Gareth

There's a couple going at Bakewell services. No photos yet but I think they've only just added the to their site.

As per the title we're looking for some axle brackets for a 2009 same silver 105. Fully expecting to have to get some made but thought it might be worth asking here first. Also looking out for a second hand subframe. It'll be used with a PA6565t

We're still hunting, I emailed kverneland to see which other mowers use the same discs and the KMT 2400, 2800, 3000 and 3200 mowers (with series ID 27225 -27226 – 27227) do, so we're expanding our search for scrap ones too. Granit parts make an aftermarket one still but it's 170 odd quid...

The discs are different to the ones on our newer mower which is also a vicon. In the case of this one, there are vanes on each disc, but as they counter rotate, there are two slightly differnt kinds of disc. I've attached a photo, you can see the differences in the unbroken discs

Had a disc break up whilst cutting silage so looking for a replacement. The mower only gets used once a year as we have a newer one but spare parts are hard to come by now and so started searching right away in the hope we find one for next year. Its one of the anticlockwise turning discs I'm...

We had the same problem earlier in the year with our silver 105. There's a switch around the pedals (I don't remember exactly where without looking) that failed on ours. Have similar issues with the some of the dash lights that you mentioned too!

The guard rail on the tedder went back along. Didn't notice until I unfolded it in the field. Bodged with a bit of cord and a bolt found in the cab. Added the tape as the bolt kept trying to work it's way out.

Feeling bad for this one today as mum had to go after 2 consecutive inconclusive reactions. Poor things only 7 weeks old. Lots of mole draining to get on with too. None at all got done last year. This field was a swamp right through till may.

Dip here. We use colemans mustard jars.

From what I've heard there was interest from outside on buying or leasing the market with the intention of carrying it on but the owners seem to have had their hearts set in selling to the developers. The market and it's car park etc covers around 10 acres so lots of cash to be made from...

Basically on the same site. Share the same turn off from the main road

Can't answer that one I'm afraid as I've not been to a cattle sale in a long while. Should imagine they'll be ok though as there always a steady stream of traffic there during the week

Hatherleigh lad here. Quite gutted to see the end of the market. The markets never been quite the same since F+M, I can remember a few huge sales as a kid in the 90s where you'd see cars parked for nearly quarter of a mile up the side of the a386. Never been that busy since then sadly. The...
