So, my MF6470 with perkins 1104 is giving me the chills. According to the gauge, and cab heater it never gets to operating temp. From cold it doesn't matter how long it's left ticking over - the gauge won't budge off the stop. With steady work it will rise to 1/4. In more typical ambient...

Odd one. For the last few months I can create a new field and record lots of coverage fine but after I close it (with normal delay as it appears to be saving) it's not available to choose again. Was never a problem before. I only use the 500 for spraying section control so don't usually save...

Of late my t4b 7.210 gauge will periodically drop to the bottom and put the light on. When I next look it's often back up again. No slope pattern that I can tell. It's only a matter of time before a mistake happens. Is this common? New sender needed? DIYable? Got enough to do tbh. Ta

The on-trend topic of the moment. Little lister genny has been keeping the borehole running (small kettle at a push) but it's getting tedious doing everything else by torchlight. Can't afford any more chippy teas. I acquired this at a sale for scrap money with a view to a stationary electric...

I've got some spreading to do at 18m this year and need to do some tray work. The question is which thing to change first. For example, if I find the pattern is too heavy close to the tramline I could:- Lengthen the short vane Increase angle of attack of short vane Reduce the length of long...

My router ( teltonika) has got worse and worse over the last weeks and more or less doesn't work now. Might be the router, might be the sim (o2 provided as part of service package). As it'll cost several times the router cost to get them out and no doubt fit an inflated new one, I was just...

I was docked the greening element (+penalty) of 2018 BPS due to having declared no EFA. I didn't as I believe I met one of the exemptions. I raised an email query in early December 2018, as soon as the statement arrived. I ring every couple of months, they say it's with the relevant team who...

For messy reasons, I want to feed gps info from my 750 to 500. I've butchered an old serial mouse cable and shoved it into the back of both units. Difficulty is what comms protocol to use. The only one I can get to work is tsip, but when use this, the 500 switches the 750 from rangepoint to...

So, my indi agronomist has been in and, quite correctly, spotted some active mildew on leaf 2. He's suggesting a mildewicide, but I'm not keen, mostly due to the damage I'll cause going through it. It's flowering now, had epoxi/strob T2 onto a half-emerged ear a fortnight ago. It is/has been...

I feel I'm entering the lion's den here, so please be gentle on a 100% plougher. That's only true in so far as all cultivations are done with that tool, but there are 4-7 year leys in the mix, mostly grazed with fattening cattle. My cereals are the break and are 1 or 2 wheats followed by 0, 1...

I recently picked up one of these at a sale at vast (£1) expense. It's old - the order form for replacement consumables is priced in new pence, but only just, by small amounts quoted. Doesn't look ever to have been used, though a top has been knocked off a bottle and rusted a hole in the box...

Thinking about the above - any views/takers? For an Endurance. From £3k to £5350 for 3 years depending on turbine age and coverage options.

I'm pretty sure my suspension isn't working. Bouncy as, and doesn't rise or drive under acceleration/braking. I've had the accumulator off and done a 'punch test' (tapped blunt punch down through inlet and it bounces), so I'm told it's OK. Mechanic has calibrated it OK. I'm thinking it's not...

2010 ish Honda 420, fuel injection, doesn't like running its cooling fan. If it doesn't get a decent turn of speed it gets hot, bothered and chugs. Rarely the fan will kick in but only runs a short time. I replaced a temperature sensor beside the spark plug this week, to no avail. This seems...

With the dry spell I've been digging hard into my 'summer' heap of AN that was earmarked for post silage use. I do have plenty of well-bought urea left. As all the silage ground will be getting slurry what would the consequences be if I mixed the urea into the tank? I'd be applying around...

Got a small acreage of WB and thinking ahead to T2; had its T1 of 0.6 Siltra plus CTL last week. Because of small area and can sizes, I can do another 0.6 Siltra for about same price as 1l of Fandango. Would I be better off with the Bixafen and extra prothio (120g v 100g if I've got it right)...

I've been putting up with harsh PTO starting (straw bedder on 540E speed, so significant start-up inertia) for a good while now but thought I'd ask again in case any new ideas. 07 tier 2 perkins BTW. If I try to start with the inside switch, without revs, 9 times out of 10 it will jump in...

OK, not that familiar with these old girls but know they're a little odd in the constant pumping department. Is there anything special to do to run a small hydraulic motor off the spool? It's only running a small auger and doesn't need much power or flow (nasher 574 usually on the job)...

Looking at a 6m of the above. Know they (& McConnell & Spearhead etc) are able to cope with the rough stuff, but do they make a tidy job on young pastures? Currently have a 3m teagle, not the heaviest, but fine for topping paddocks; just want a bit more output. Machine looks straight - is...
