    Fendt 724, heavy rear mounted implement.

    We have this set up on our 828. Fendt 900 kg weight block with front attachment plate About 2000kg. We occasionally run this on a 724 but i personally dont like it. The tractor can do it but really doesn’t have the weight to be in charge of the plough. Bit like the tail wagging the dog.

    Horsch CS mounted sprayer

    I'm interested to hear peoples thoughts as well. Currently looking at one. The only negatives are ground clearance and the weight. A 24m 1800 with 1200 front tank is going to be 10t empty. Would a 4 cylinder tractor be man enough for it on steep land. Spec is fantastic and you get to spend the...

    Good power washer, other than karcher

    We have a 3 phase mistral steam washer. Had it 5/6yrs now and its been very reliable. it needed a new contacttor which was available of the shelf. Its on its 3rd hose but apart from that its been great. It was much cheaper than a kew and much more reliable than the kew it replaced.

    New toy day

    Might be worth trying gardiner trailers to refurb. Bought a refurbished Stewart from them. They made a super job of it.
