Definitely a bright yellow, I only asked as I have never seen another one exactly the same

Pocket rocket! Only the wheels are not original paint. 11.5k hrs. Won't ever part with this one it's basically a family heirloom 😀

Been here for years, useful tool in the right situation. Do you know what make it is?

The less sweaty way of moving idiot bricks

I moved to Acres this year, they were able to beat my existing insurers renewal quote by some margin.

Had some rolling to do this evening, so hooked up a friends MH 744 that I had in the workshop. Perkins P6 sounding sweet pulling the 6t pair of concrete filled rollers!

Yes, I had one do the same. Tried jumping it off another battery etc but concluded it was dead

Yes you are right, I have a couple of 8ft ones weighing 3t each. I modified the frame of one of them to be able to use them as a pair. Takes some dragging at 6t, but they make a cracking job

I am really looking for a tined cultivator, but some pics would be good if possible

Looking for a vintage trailed cultivator to use at working days behind my old tractors. Similar to the pic below. Does anyone have one lurking in a barn/hedge somewhere? South west would be ideal but can travel. Thanks.

Andy Guest is the cheapest for genuine tines in my experience

As you have noticed there is no ram stop on the Welgers. Why did the shearbolt break? Are you sure that's what caused the needles to be left in the chamber? I only ask as we had something similar with our 730 some years ago. The spring loaded dog on the RHS of the knotter stack that is released...

Another thumbs up for Acres, moved to them this year after they were able to beat the renewal quote from previous insurer. Great, quick service from Kevin.

Choke will make the mixture more rich so it will run but probably not very well under load if you have limited fuel flow. Another option, it could be drawing excess air and weakening the mixture. Check all gaskets and seals and the intake manifold itself for air leaks

If it will only run with the choke out, it would indicate a lack of fuel flow to the carb. Perhaps a blocked tap on the bottom of the tank, or sediment bowl strainer mesh?
