    John Deere 1950 arms

    The lever that controls the arms on our JD 1950 has a very small parts of its range of movement which affects the arms position. It is difficult to fine tune the position. There is a lever beside the arms and I've played with it to see if it would effect the granularity of the lever/arm...

    River Bank Erosion

    Has anyone here done any work to protect river banks from getting eroded? Got a river flowing along our boundary and it is starting to undermine a tree on the bank at a bend in the river. I'll not have access to get a digger in to do work - unless the contractor can get in upstream. I was...

    Offset/Cranked hinges

    Got some field gates that are hinge bound before they can be swung around against the fence - fence is in line with the gate. Has anyone seen a cranked hinge (L shape) that can be mounted onto side of post that will allow the gate remain centered when latched, but swing back to rest against the...

    FTAI - Small Suckler Herd

    Hi. Got a small herd of 9 cows. I want to use FTAI on them as I don't think a bull is feasibly for such a small number. These cattle would trend to spend most of summer at an out farm where they would be checked daily on way home from day job - so genuinely every 24hrs. I'm trying to figure...

    Gate that hinges/latches at both ends

    Hi. Looking to get a gate made for handling facilities and to make the most use of the area I want a gate that I can swing from both ends. Has anyone seen any good implementations of this? I've seen some which have eyes on each gate end, but to open you have to pull a bar up the full length...

    eBay Scam?

    Selling a truck body on eBay at the minute. It has been up a while now. I've just received a low ball offer from a user account with no feedback that was created in 2010. Seems a bit odd that the account would be dormant for 12 years. Is it worth engaging with this account or is it likely to...

    Steel Bender

    Need to make some 90 degree bends in 2mm or 3mm flat steel. Is there a cheap bender out there that I can get for this - will be making a large number of them for a project - 150 items each with 4 bends.

    In the market now for a new jeep and narrowed down to these. What are opinions on both - will be looking at manual? Cost and delivery times might push towards a D-Max, but Hilux is the preference. Also, does anyone know whether the NFU discount is worth going for? I got the impression their...

    As per the title - will be putting up a new handling facility on an outfarm within the next year or so, depending on funds. I've got an idea of the layout in my head, but before I commit to it, I was wondering about curved forcing pens - primarily their cost and their worth. It would be a...

    Sliding Gate for Cattle Crush

    Just seen this whilst searching for sliding gates for a cattle crush. Searching various forums has shown that Kellfri have a reputation for lower quality products - although these were reviews of more complex machinery. I've got a small suckler herd and this seems better value than anything...

    NR Plant Machinery

    https://www.nrplantmachinery.co.uk/listings/2016-mccormick-x6-430/ That is the road end used by AFM Tractors. Not to mention that the prices are nearly 1/3 of what they should be. Although odd that the company number correlates at Companies House. What's the story with these guys?
