Also would anyone have a pdf manual for this model?

I know a fella has a 4 furrow model e plough and recently it's had the turn over ram fixed. Since it ploughs 4 furrow perfect on one side and when turned over it only ploughs 3 on the other. The first furrow sits in line with the wheel. I have the exact same plough and I thought I'll fix this...

Had this happen on my jcb 530 70, twas the timing case. You may see foamy oil on the dipstick.could also be an oil cooler problem

Used a bit of old plough share as it's the same shape. In a moment of madness I ended up welding it to the tail press. See how that goes, should belong in the 'quick fixes, bodges and creations' section really 🫣

I might try a couple of boards then to start with and see what it does. I've welded a cracked board before with ordinary 6013's and got away with it. There's alot of pressure on that part of the board I suppose

What with me being a skin flint and all, has anyone tried extending the life of their plough boards by welding say a long thin plate onto the back of the board edge. Seems a waste just dumping the board as it's the only part on the board that wears

Thanks for telling me this, that's exactly what I was wanting to find out

I'm thinking of adding an extra furrow on to my 4 furrow reversible kverneland plough, it's got a 160 headstock. I've seen an odd 5 furrow one with a 160 headstock but they're the exception, most are 240. Would it be safe enough to do this? Don't want to break the plough. Also what lift capacity...

How much of the spreader do you spray with waxoyl? Is it just inside the body and working parts at the back? What tool do you use to spray on the stuff and does it need heated first to thin it?

I bought a bunning hbd, its supposed to spread dry and wet poultry manure very evenly. Reviews of them seemed good on the farming forum if that's anything to go by

I think used engine oil is corrosive too, won't be as corrosive as chicken poo right enough. I used mixed diesel and oil backed end oil. Plan of attack then: Spray oil on spreader before first load to help stop muck sticking. Washing off after use with slurry tanker hose down kit. Maybe a quick...

I wish our ground was dry enough to dung on top of the ploughing, definitely won't happen here this year. Spreader loaded with dung alone would weigh 11 or 12 ton. My P's & K's are good anyway and we don't plough too deep but yeah it'd be a better job alright

Funny I was thinking getting the tanker with one of those hose down kits, chicken muck is very sticky though right enough, it'd be worth a try. If I spread it all in the one go there's 10 days ploughing and alot of the nitrogen's lost. I was gonna do a days spreading, get dad to plough it down...

I'm trying to avoid the hassle of washing it out at the end of each day, usually takes an hour to power wash properly. I'd be washing it out every other day for a week and I'm a bit strapped for time. Although if it has to be washed out, it'll have to be done

I've recently got a new bunning rear discharge muck spreader. I'm going to be spreading a couple of fields at a time with chicken muck and then ploughing it down so spreading will be stop start. Chicken muck is very acidic....or maybe is it alkaline? Anyway I want to keep the paint and spreader...
