    Fire Pump

    Thinking of putting a 200L drum on the corn cart tractor's front linkage for fire fighting! Got a double hydraulic connector so use that as the pump drive. Half inch hose with a bit of pressure will do. Any ideas for the pump? Thanks

If we coppiced our 12 miles of hedges rotationally every 7-10 years for chipping would it financially stack up if the chip was sold? Got a tree shear on a 360 , would need a tractor mounted chipper. Could store and dry chip on...

    Air Diffuser's

    On a Cayena drill would the fitted air diffuser's make a seed blockage monitoring system defunct? Its a rare event to get a blockage but most happen at the coulter from soil plugging. The seeds will blow out the vent won't they?

    Kuhn PTO shaft

    A bit disappointed when our new Kuhn 5004R turned up with 8 hour grease PTO shafts having seen the above before buying. Has anyone got the 250hr ones? Local dealer says they only come with the rigid version not the folding.

    Running a Lexion 540 at present and require 30% or so more ouput. Anyone running a Tucano 570,preferably the 2016 model,with the single rotor. Not sure we can get the output from the straw walker combines so we may have to go up to the hybrids to achieve 40t/hr in 10t/ha wheats!!

    JD 7800 clutch adjustment

    Clutch pedal has dropped down a bit and not fully disengaging drive when applied especially when warmed up. Can you adjust these? Can't see a master cylinder anywhere but they must be hydraulic. Think I can see a cable from the pedal. Thanks

    Trying to replace the drop-arm that comes from the steering box on our Defender 90, but can't get it off the spline! In the picture you can see our 2-prong puller done up as tight as we can.

    Solideal tyres

    Anyone had any experience with Solideal R1 tyres? They have been recommended for our loader(R20"x405/70). Mainly for concrete work but occasionally on dirt tracks when dryish. They have a more hard wearing industrial type tread. Used in construction a lot apparently. Cheers

    JD 7800 rear links

    Want to use our 7800 with an old DP7e (6 furrow) plough for a few acres a year. A setup we used many moons ago but the lift arms pick the plough up far to quickly IMO which has fractured the headstock. Is there a way to slow it down to a gentle raise! Cheers
