I can have a look at mine tomorrow and get you a picture if you still need help with it?! 👍

Right ok thanks for your advice. I assumed there would probably be more to it. In our situation, if going down the route of sfi and fitting it into our farm business, my main retained asset would likely be the sheep flock ideally. Our arable could be put into something like the herbal leys as a...

Will specified seed invoices be needed for evidence? Or where existing grass leys are in place, can straight seeds be purchased and direct drilled into the swards? Ie chicory? Otherwise it looks like the first year’s payment will disappear on seed mix purchases and reseeds.. 🤔

I see with SAM3 herbal leys in the SFI scheme that you can also have OR1 and OR3 which appear to be 2 year terms in mid tier cs. I’m considering looking into that across the farm and rotating sheep around it. Hopefully get some fencing done too. Has anyone else looked into that? Is it just two...

Good evening, I need an agri trailer collecting from RG8 Reading and delivering to Dy12 Bewdley. It’s got a 20’x8’4” bed, plus a 5’ drawbar. Approximately weighs 3-3.5tonnes. Could be lifted onto a flatbed and lifted off the other end. Access for artics each end. Please message if interested...

I think something is dead ending, possibly in the valve block. I’ll get it in workshop in the next few weeks and have a look. I sent the control box to David kings to be checked over. That came back with a fine bill of health. So I’ll look at valve block next 👍 thanks again

Thanks @Mark C I spoke with Gary in the summer and he was a great help. I’ll be in touch with him again to get the baler sorted for summer 👍👍

Thanks @Chae1. The box starts up on CC and I had to select OC each time I switched it on. I’d spoken to Gary Needham in the summer who suggested I run it on OC, which seemed to operate the baler ok. My only concern was that the return hose from the baler didn’t feel warm, so I unplugged it and...

Hi Cowabunga, the Fastrac is open centre and I spoke with a Baler mechanic last summer who told me to set the Baler to open centre on the box. Plus have the extra solenoid on Baler which it did already. The Baler worked but it almost felt to be dead ending the tractor hydraulics. I’ll get...

Hi, i like the idea of the Baler running off its own pump. I’ve got a mf 185 and when it’s on our 2150 Fastrac it seems to strain the hydraulics even with the flow turned down low. Roughly what does the chain driven pump kit cost, would you know? Does the box need any settings changing? Thanks

Thanks I’ll give them a try. 👍👍

Hi, I wonder if anyone can help. My 655d has a snapped 4wd push pull selector cable. A normal cable won’t push it back into 2wd so I’m having to get underneath to pull it manually. I can’t seem to find one listed online. Has anyone found a parts supplier for these diggers? I’d wondered if I...

Ah ok that’s a good point. I’ll have a look at that. The smaller shaft end sprockets have the odd chipped tooth, but the majority of all the teeth are still there and functional. So I’m guessing that some shims would go under the large rotor gear. I’m yet to figure how that comes apart. Has...

Hi guys, interesting thread re refurbishing fella Tedders. I bought an 8 rotor fella last year and had planned to go through it in the winter. It all works, but there’s some excessive play between the rotors, so much so, they clash tines and seem to snap them off quite often.. I’ve started...
