    Staff retention

    A few employers seem to forget a basic life rule in my opinion speak to people the way you would like to be spoken to treat people how you would like to be treated. also, some need to remember that by paying above average wages doesn’t give them the entitlement to treat people like dirt. I...

    B275 diff lock

    Yesterday at a ploughing match, every now and then when the going got really tough, my diff lock started making a chattering noise, like a slip clutch going off. Once the going eased off, it stopped. Wouod Something me out of adjustment, or Something more terminal

    Ratchet strap lashing points

    If I was to get a some lengths of 150x10 and punch out 50mm holes every 300mm, and weld that to the sides of my trailer, would that suffice for attaching straps to, or would that need tested etc etc????

    Ratchet strap lashing points

    My graham Edwards beaver tail has rope hooks down each side on each cross member, and nothing else. How else am I supposed to secure a vehicle to it, when that’s all it came with from the factory

    Terriers

    Poppy on the left, Finn on the right Poppy is approaching 1 yr old and is as mad as a bag of frogs Finn is near 3 and I’m unsure if he’s a Patterdale/Jack Russell as we were told or a cat. He’ll quite happily curl up on your knee in a ball and watch tele he was the moy gamefairs terrier...

    Migrant hotels in rural locations.

    If you ask me, the lads at sniper training school should be at dovers famous white cliffs, with a command to sink all inflatables heading this way. If word got back to the French side that this was happening, I bet they wouldn’t be so keen to come across it might be cruel etc, but when...

    Lift Arm Length

    What you have to remember is by using longer lift arms, all plough controls are further away. Also, in my situation, it made the tractor lighter in the nose as any extra weights are now further away than before as well

    Lift Arm Length

    I had same problem with my b275 and ransomes plough. the bottom of disc stalk would catch where the drop arms attach to the lift arms. i swapped to a set of replica mf 135arms, which are 4” longer than what I had on. this cured the problem, and also helped when moving plough to take a single...

    Ransomes plough

    To change from epics to tcns, you will basically need to replace everything that bolts onto the bottom of the leg. As for getting the parts required, then good luck as shin pieces and wings are getting very hard to find nowadays, and a decent set of boards will be even harder

    Plough Coulter identification

    That looks to me like an original Massey Ferguson single arm disc unit. They we’re fitted to the 793 ploughs and a few others. Those are a better type, as you can angle the disc in or out of work, and also change the angle of the skimmer westlake ploughs would be your best place to look for parts

    Shortage of good staff

    Here’s a thought, are there many operators, gfw, livestock people actually out there round here, for yrs I can’t think of many places that have given a young lad or school leaver a chance, and have filled most gaps with either migrant workers, or scraped by without. now the aging workforce...

    Hi does anyone know what plough these shares belong to?

    Skimmer arms look like Ferguson to me, the 1 left and 1 right point in the middle look like a ransomes point, the skimmer itself is possibly Ferguson, not sure about the discs as too many rivets for a ransomes hub without being cheeky, it’s not really much of a goldmine find if that’s what you...
