All the trailers brakes are top notch, they pull the tractor back no matter what the conditions, but still after 600 hours the tractor i drive myself needs new brakes, and...

    Haulage tractor

    They dont run full for on road use, offroad use we arent as strict with the loads So they end up getting loaded until it cant take no more. The lorries do most of the distance work. The tractors do agri work and haulage work, so a diverse fleet is what we have to have. We do alot of civils...

    Haulage tractor

    Which transmission? Cvt or powershift? I really liked a t194 i drove 2 years ago but very little valtras in my area. John deere and new holland has the market share in my area.

    Joint I'll / Mycoplazma in cattle

    Had this in the past, If he is in any ways fit for the factory get rid of him ASAP. He will amount to nothing in time if its mycoplasma or joint I'll. I fed one for a while before thinking he would turn around and I wasted loads of meal and time and he was losing quarters as time went so...
