I’ve got exactly the same with this tube sticking out but lamb is bleeding not from the tube but where it enters it’s belly, can’t stop the bleeding and lamb is in and out of consciousness, any thoughts

Thanks aangus im thinking that way Ive noticed previous years that the ewes aren't happy for 24 hours post treatment, we could do more harm than good perhaps.

I have not been able to purchase any supplies of Heptavac P and I was wondering if anyone knew how close to lambing you could use it, not wanting to upset the ewes a few days before they lamb but does anyone have any thoughts?

It is almost undrivable on the road your correct, ive yet to check the oil level so I will report back

Hi I’ve just recently purchased a Massey 690 and the steering is v difficult, it’s stiff and it wanders just trying to locate the steering oil reservoir which isn’t obvious, now wondering if it shares the hydraulic oil which leads me to also ask where is the level plug/ dip stick for the...

Yes thanks neilo thats what Ive been thinking, I need to get them on some rough grass to calm thins down a bit i think.

Its not too rough..... just concerned about supporting the bed well, Lely do a 100mm skid. I have some stewardship ground which I just need to keep on top of and snip off ryegrass seedheads and thistles. But you use one at either end and one in the middle i guess.

Semi retired sounds good .... Im a little concerned also about the integrity of the hydraulic pipes they're a bit perished, generaly ropey but thats a maintenance issue for me. thanks for your comments its given me confidence to go ahead.

Its just I have to buy the hay before i can try it out, getting some weight on the back should not be a problem, I did read a report of the anchor at the bell housing giving way due to a heavy lift but I dont know what weight that was.

Photo attached .... she is a bit on the rusty side having been kept outside for many years but a recent acquisition for me and I have an opportunity to buy some large hay bales which I am told could weigh 550 - 600kg.

would anyone know if my Ford 4100 loader would be man enough to lift 600kg ok?

Thanks for coming back on this, in the end i fashioned a puller using a spindle from my apple press which bought the sleeve out 3/4 inch then drilled a hole either side of the sleeve and then put a rod through the hole and yanked it out using a lever bar and chain. A bit Heath Robinson but it...
