    Row crop tyre compatibility

    I'm looking for a pair of more narrow wheels for the maize drilling tractor. Current tyres are 420/85R38 and i'm looking at replacing them with 320/90r42 but these would be 40mm less in diameter (420 are about 1670mm, 320 would be about 1630mm) Would there be a problem with the 4 wheel drive?

    Will machinery prices come down eventually?

    I think (hope) we passed the peak in many markets like energy, grains, fertilizers. If China will get back on track sometime next year and we'll see a deescalation of the Russian war, do you think the on-farm price of new machinery might drop from the current levels?

    2014 Merlo P34.7 electricals

    Noticed this morning that the rabbit and tortoise on the gear selector are blinking and also the left pedal that disengages drive doesn't do anything when pressed. Other than that, it works as it should, changes gears and everything seems ok. Any Merlo experts around? Thanks

    JD 2630 coverage on/off

    I have a 6195M that is pulling a Rapid A400S with isobus and ipad. How can i get it to correctly record the coverage on the map, i.e. show a blue track only where it drilled? The spools on the tractor are manual so can't trigger the coverage with the lift/lower command
