OK, brlliant - thanks y'all!

Cheers, yes, I found this plate but it doesn't seem to have the VIN, which should be 17 or 18 characters long. Any ideas?

Thanks Serf ... Guess I'll just have to hope he sees it - or someone else has discovered it!

Hi, does anyone know where to find the VIN/chassis number on a Zetor 6045? Cheers! J

Hi, I have APHA coming tomorrow for a 48hr inspection. They say they want to see "all stock and medicine and death records" ... can anyone tell me what to expect? Cheers! Joe

Wow... And these are completely untreated, aye? That's excellent. (y)(y)(y)

Hi, The protective coating on the floor of my Ifor Williams flatbed is worn through to the ply in places. (It's dark grey, little circles on it...) Any ideas how best to repair this to prolong its life? Cheers

Wow. Slow grown timber is supposed to be strong. (That's one of the selling points for Octoposts) How come it has grown so slowly?

Impressive. Though I guess they won't be subject up the same moisture levels as just banged in the ground.

I'd love to see an agroforestry forum within this site. I'm a member of the UK Agroforestry group on Facebook, but not everyone is on Facebook. Obviously not every aspect of farming can have it's own forum on here, but I'd just like to make the case! Agroforestry is a growing interest, and...

I just wonder how long people think untreated fenceposts made of larch would last. Obviously there are many factors and there will be a big range, but I've got no idea really -- I know larch is considered a durable timber for exterior use, but then the demands on a post in the ground are much...

I think that one sticky haydog will need a bit of attention. I adjusted the stripper arms - they looked good to me, but maybe an experienced baler doc would give em a tweak. I've been offered more grass to cut, but they want it cut in September and it's on a N facing slope. Might just work out...

HI Rich, Yes, it does 12"x16" rather than 14"x18". I'm near Machynlleth if you're headed this way. J

@Hesston4860s - thanks ... interesting. String tension from the string box, or on the bale? Maybe should have said... After I finished the bales I wanted, I tried baling some damp coarse stuff round a shady edge, just to get it out of the road really, but then it will as back to problems...

Thanks @forblue - good tips .

Nice thread. I'll add a pic from today's festival of hard-won hay bales...

Update - I got the field baled today. Tinkered around a bit but nothing seemed a decisive fix. Using the MF35 much easier than the Fordson, so I just cracked on. Discovered that I could manually tie the knots when the baler dropped them, which it was doing less and less frequently. Then, it just...

Good shout - I think it's fine, but happy to have all the suggestions.

"Idiot bricks"! Excellent - thanks a lot. (y)

I should also say that it's an intermittent problem. Doesn't do it every time, but often enough to be seriously disruptive! Think running speed might make a difference? One been using a Fordson Major with no rev counter, but I've got my MF35x back on site now, so can run PTO at 540... Cheers...
