Don't try and do it in one pour is what i'm tbinking. Too much weight in one go.

Sorted, managed to knock the lever back and all good now. I noticed that the lever travels well past the metal quadrant tho. Should there be something to hold it against the metal plate and hence prevent this? There is a square hole in the lever . Thanks for the initial help (y)

That sounds a possibity, i was struggling to get the bale off the spike and pushed the lever right down as far as it would go. Much further than i would normally so it could have done that. Hope so, i'l have a look tomoz and report back. Thanks

Been using the hydraulic arms this morning and all good. Just taken bale to some horsey folks and the quadrant lever won't move so the arms are now in loweted position. The lever has some free play but won't move so i'm guessing whatever it turns to work the hydraulics is stuck. Any info...

Hi, wondering if anyone had fitted work lights on the front of a massey 250 and had any recommendations? Just been trying to get some bales off the stack in the dark and the headlights are woefully inadequate. Thanks

This popped up on face ache earlier. Might be of some use to you ??

Out of interest what cfm and size receiver do you need to work it/keep it going. Keep thinking about buying one. Thanks

Didn't know that. Every day is a school day ?

We must have extra fluffy hay our way ??. Thinking about it though. I have always thought the wheels weren't original. They're 28". They just look a bit too small for the tractor ??

i I agree, I'm looking for a tidy 35 or 35x myself for little jobs. But no harm in informing the OP of problems that others have found doing certain jobs with smaller tractors. He can make a better informed choice then ??

Thinner crops, narrower swath width and used acrobats I guess. I wasn't around then. I've got a 20e which is effectively a 250. I can mow with it but put a haybob behind it and you'll manage first time round but once its fluffed up it becomes a nightmare. An old boy I once worked for sent me...

If you are thinking of doing any hay making. Neither is any good. They are man enough for the job and will do the mowing but they are too low to the ground to do the turning. You end up with it collecting under the tractor. I would be looking at a 165 or 565 and with that budget your getting a...

I agree the drive to suckle in a calf is it's main priority. I did once feed some lim cross calves from buckets with nipples and that did help just because they had satisfied there suckling desire but it didn't cure. It wasn't intended, they were just too daft to take to the bucket plus they...

I think so, it's a few years since I kept calves but I'm sure I used them from about 14 days. You may be talking younger of course.

Just been in the local rag on Facebook. Dog killed and woman injured and airlifted to hospital

Individual pens or those anti suckle things with spikes on that you fasten into there nose. They don't always stay in but they do work.

Let me know what you do to fix it. I ptfe taped mine. It worked for a week or 2 but I think the oil/heat etc has degraded the tape. I can't find anywhere that sells new steel pipes and am considering a flexible replacement.

She's getting on a bit, but still goes a treat.

A future classic earning his keep, picking a few stray docks up as I mow. He loves it !!

Hay's in. Just time to grab a bit of haylage if weather holds for a day or two. Although, if they're as good at predicting the weather as I am of the lottery numbers !!!
