Hi, I have recently brought a Duncan DD30 which is a NZ built disc drill. I have just got it plumbed to my tractor, through a 1/2 inch dump valve and a 3/4 inch dump. I have an issue, while the fan is running, ( constant pump spool 2, 3000rpm) as the drill is lowered or raised the fan...

Grafted an old scraper headstock onto an old trailed leveller that had a stuffed axle and tires. still abit to go to finish off. Are only a beginner welder so go easy! where should I add more bracing, if at all?

Hi. Or new 6120m came with 3 spools, but with the grader blade it requires 4 spools if the top link is still plugged in. All I need is a diverter to divert oil to this 4th spool every now and again, to adjust the hydraulic top link. If I used a 2 way ball valve, to just open and shut the flow...

Hi. Have a new 6120M. Before I go to dealer and ask, does anyone know if you can get a kit for 6120M to add the connector for trailer brakes? Where does the connector go?

We are looking into spreading our nutrients further, and a slurry tanker fits the bill. Umbilical won’t work because it takes too many people, and our longest field is around 2 km away from the pond. Just a few questions, How is belmac stuff? Has auto fill, brakes etc. It’s a big single axle...

Does anyone have any experience in using Synthetic Zeolite to reduce metabolic problems such as milk fever? Studies suggest using it 3-4 weeks pre calving. In reading some articles it is used in Europe often. How is it fed? My understanding is that it’s a mineral, so would be a powder/ granule...

Are these mowers any good? Local dealer have some in stock. Priced up against a krone and well cheaper, built abit lighter but am wondering if that would be much of an issue? looking at a 3.6m 2836M specifically. Non conditioner, straight bar mower used for mainly topping. It is centre pivot...

I recently saw an article on Facebook that was encouraging manure recycled as bedding. This is very interesting and was wondering whether anyone actually does this? I’m guessing getting rid of the moisture would be critical to reduce the amount of bacteria growing, ideally with none at all...

Looking to spread our effluent more effectively and utilise it better than we are currently. Have had ideas of umbilical systems, but the price of the lay flat hose is staggering. We have a reasonable pump (electric) that currently pumps to a traveller but this only has limited area it can...

Hey anyone have one of these? They are a batwing mower of sorts. Our main use would just be topping after dairy cows. Currently use a 3m disc mower that is unreliable at the best of times so looking to change to something else. The flex wing we were looking at was 6m wide which would increase...

Have a look at this! Nearly fit for the wreckers thread but not quite. Well saved

Interested in this concept. We only plant around 20ha a year for forage, and I saw something about inter cropping beans into maize and the beans climb up the maize stalk. Whether it would work or not would be the question, higher protein would be one good thing, something that Maize severely...

Anyone on here have any genius ideas to efficiently fill a spreader with only one tractor? Have one tractor with a loader and nothing else. Thought about a platform that we could sit a bag on, which seems like a good idea. Or use a bag lifter, but tractor is only 90hp and a wee bit light by the...

Hello. Would a maxitill like cultivator/ grubber work any good in a sprayed out turf? Just looking to create a 1-2 inches of tilth for turnips. Does anyone else do this? Just looking to get away from ploughing everything.

Looking for opinions on the ERTH drill. Mainly will be used for what it’s made for, but will be also going over full cultivation for reseeds. I assume being a grassland drill it can drill small seeds like chicory and turnips? Just looking for user feedback and also any options that people...

I have a problem while ploughing. It leaves some grass half turned over. See pic Why would this be? I understand it could be a number of variables but what could the main reasons be? I’m not a very experienced ploughman (ploughed less that 100ha) Thanks

Hello. I have an old king hitter post rammer with a single bank control valve that I brought a while back, second hand. I needed the valve to be open centre, and as it was set up for closed center (for a JD) I needed to change the closed centre bung on the dump side of the valve to a standard...

How can I tell what type of hydraulics are on our ts90? Either open or closed centre? It has the 16x16 transmission. the reason I am asking is I brought a post rammer and it was on a John Deere which I assume is closed centre, as all of the ones I have worked with are, and don’t want to damage...

Hello. I have just brought a mf30. It is a French built tractor but must have been quite uncommon because finding parts is a struggle. Does anyone know if transmission parts from a 35, or any other masseys fit. I’m guessing they will be slightly similar? I specifically need the cup that houses...

we are interested in changing some implements to a A frame for simplicity and ease of hookup. We only have one tractor so change implements regularly. with the female part ( implement side) can they be bolted/ pinned on to the linkage mounts, or do they need special mounting brackets? We would...
