How much would postage be to Scotland?

Hi,I’m looking for a sweep auger for a Howerd harvestore,not sure if yours would be compatible ?

They are obsolete Milkflowsensor models The cards have been removed from some and bypassed No longer economical to repair and were not a common acr

Double up,12+12

Hi,just wondering if there are any good options for simple jar plant acr/s for retro fitting to an old parlour ? The fullwood acrs that are currently fitted are no longer functioning or repairable,so thinking of options(preferably cheap and simple) going forward. S&P

I also have an eta boiler,almost 9 years old but never had to change the grate,but it is not used at full capacity(probably about 70%). However,the motor for flipping the grate packed up the week before Xmas and very suspiciously just 1 day after its annual service!!! The company involved didn’t...

S/C £5.31!!!!! day 0.31 night 0.23 EDF via Anglia Farmers is this normal? Or are we being shafted?

We have a vicon spinner for the quad and used to put first dressing of fert on with it,when ground conditions were tender Was surprisingly fast (up to 20k on good fields)but 1/2 tonne bags were a bit of a pain-if I were to do it again I would invest in a fert chute that opens/closes. Used to...

We have done the same this year and upgraded to a 6765. Quite a change from cable controls,but not sure about the small ‘joystick’. Dont like the fact that it is round and has no ’feel‘ or distinctive resistance between forward and lateral functions,but still a massive improvement on cable controls.

Would appreciate that. I have measured the current auger and it is 9’2” long and was probably 4” in diameter when new.The shaft that it is bolted onto is about 35mmin diameter. Not sure if they are all the same in different grain stores. S&P

Think that option would be cost prohibitive for a tight Scotsman😀

I have an aging Howard harvestore which is still in use ,however the auger which ‘sweeps’ the floor is getting rather worn and gets stuck 1/4 the way round. Is there anyone with an old store with the auger in good condition for sale?,or is there somewhere that can supply a new auger to fit(it’s...

It’s a JD it will be going on,but only the 6155m has ad blue. Would low revs on 1000 be bad for it?

It’s not so much the fuel usage,it’s the depreciation on a big tractor that really hurts!!!

Just about to take delivery of a new hedgecutter,it’s a PA6567t. The recommmended minimum tractor size is 4.5tonnes. I have always cut hedges with our JD6330,which is bang on the minimum weight,but the old hedge cutter was only a 5m machine Have the option of putting it on either a 6155m or a...
