    Loading and transporting bales

    Our fields you'd be on your side before getting to the road with a trailer like that 🫣 even when 3 high on our squares make me close my eyes sometimes On a side note, I couldn't imagine carting bales 15-20 miles. We do 4-5 miles and it feels like a endless job

    Loading and transporting bales

    Never seen 3 high round here either, on the roads you'd have no 3rd row left because the branches would knock them all off, if that didn't happen you'd fetch someone's drooping BT phone line down and if neither of those happened you'd definitely hit the low bridges 😂

    Krone 890 Baler

    Yes put through a few bales, do you know if the baler needs free flow return or is using double acting spools ok?

    Krone 890 Baler

    Anyone on here running an older one? Just need some advice with initial setup, bought one from a sale without a manual and can't seem to see how to get the bale flap density pressure working. It's the older electronic box without many options, can see how you set the pressure but it's just...

    Electric cable for a welder

    Some 4mm twin and earth would suffice if you are just running it within a small garage, with limited use. If it's heavy use, go up to 6mm. Do you have a MCB for it in the board? At that point.. get an electrician to do it

    Electric cable for a welder

    I would think it should have a 16amp "commando" style plug on it at the very least, more likely a 32amp one. Chances are the previous owner didn't have any sockets of that type and just cut the end off for a plug. Get yourself a 32amp rotary isolator, and either directly connect the welder to...

    Electric cable for a welder

    Standard 3 pin (which will have a 13amp fuse in it), Max output from welder 200amp? The numbers don't really add up from my basic knowledge of welders. Normally 3-4amp out for each amp in. But anyway, are you wanting to know the size of cable to put in from the mains board to an socket? Rough...

    Electric car chargers home install

    Well if it's burnt to toast that would be least of your worry 😆 But what I was saying is, give your local man in a van electrician a ring and get him/her to come and Inspect and test your install afterwards, providing you have done it correctly it will be a 15 minute job with a minimal bill...

    Electric car chargers home install

    We install them at work, the new generation ones do not require a separate earth like the first generation. New circuit must be RCBO protected. You can get around it by using an existing circuit, i.e a garage supply, but frankly just spend the £40 extra for a RCBO. Old boards you may struggle to...

    Case 4200 vs 5100 series

    You won't find a 5120/30 for love or money I don't think, most exported at this point. 5140/5150 pop up all the time on Facebook etc, very reliable work horse, ours gets a lot of abuse and keeps going

    Electric vehicles will cost more to run than petrol vehicles after October

    Road tax zero for now.. if you think when the big switch happens from fuel to ev that it will stay zero.. no chance, road tax incoming 😬

    Electric vehicles will cost more to run than petrol vehicles after October

    My point was that you said your EV "would cost nothing to run", that's very ambiguous if you are using it as a point of comparison to a diesel.. For example I could buy a 10000 gallon tank, fill it with diesel, and then declare my truck costs nothing to run for it's life time, capital...

    Electric vehicles will cost more to run than petrol vehicles after October

    Oh they have already, I live a few miles from it and at the start of the year "coal mountain" as we call it had completely gone as they were winding down ready to close, first time I'd ever saw the ground there. Now it's back and bigger than ever saw, the local British gypsum plant are loving it...

    Electric vehicles will cost more to run than petrol vehicles after October

    Unfortunately not. About a 20/20/60% from renewable/nuclear/fossil fuels (of which most is gas now thanks to the EU). Do you think all the energy companies going bankrupt was for fun this year? No.. electricity was costing more to produce than they were selling it for due to cheap fixed tariffs

    Electric vehicles will cost more to run than petrol vehicles after October

    A lot of our electricity is from gas powered stations, that is the main issue right now. Our local coal station (one of the last in the country) was due to close this year, but has been postponed indefinitely.

    Electric vehicles will cost more to run than petrol vehicles after October

    Not costing anything? So those £20k of solar panels came off the back of a wagon?

    Stacking mini hestons

    We have the McHale squeezer grab that gets used with the rollers off for carting and stacking our 4 string 80*90s, never had an issue getting the spikes out, in hay or straw. Sounds like you still have some weight on them when reversing, push the bale down slightly and then raise the loader a...

    Cost to service

    Not ran for 3 months, during cold/damp months.. filter could have been gunked up by the "diesel bug". Doesn't take much in a final filter now days
