Those gears would make a hell of a racket

Having a similar issue with a tractor at the moment,other than the leak. Is there a good system cleaner to try through it before going to the trouble of getting the pump off?

Remember the Eid grants for stick readers etc? One million pounds fund, 1000 claimants got £500 of grant each which means £500,000 went in admin fees. All you had to do to claim was enter your.details on a page of wag website and if you were successful you had an automated email to give the go...

That's what I meant about the beer money boys. There's a a lad near here doing it with daddy's diesel, tractor and drill for £20. Busy too

There's a lot of teenage farmer's sons going direct drilling contracting for beer money too

I got in on the first window because I'd seen what I thought was a loophole that would get spotted. Turns out it didn't spotted so there's a lot of mintill cultivators sitting round not being used

Two of my neighbours left it until the last window and didn't get approved because of the points so ended up with nothing

This the zagroda we had. There's a row of tines in front of the crumbler which hadn't been fitted in that pic. Wondering about an air seeder to go on it dropping the seeds in where the tines are

Does it do it if you pressure it again? Hot oil will cool and contract once in the baler. If it keeps doing it it's either the ram piston seals or your valve block is still faulty

Try fowlersparts.co.uk . They have everything listed so gives you a comparison if nothing else

One of them I'd arrive home pee'd off and the other laughing so yes

McHale rep told me that claas balers spin the bale faster to make up for the lower number of rollers ( can't see why number of rollers makes any difference) which causes more wear and higher power requirements. Then in the next breath he said if you want to do the best job with a McHale run it...

Bags are left here for other farms to collect. Depot manager brought them yesterday and says there's been increases in the prices at every sale. New boss is rationing the amount of better grades put in each auction to stop firms stockpiling, WB are paying in one go now instead of split payments...
