    Knight trailed sprayer

    The it's to tight. Lubricate the back frame slide plates and adjust the springs as above and perform the test described above and let me know what it does.

    Knight trailed sprayer

    If you mean swaying left to right, it may go against you first thought, but the springs could be to tight or the back frame is tight. The boom should stay level while the tractor rocks from side to side in work. If its tight, or you put stronger springs on it, the boom will rock with the...

    Claas Cebis auto contour display

    I'm not sure that I quite understand what the problem is but I suspect your understanding of how it works may be wrong. You have two 'draft control' settings. (the upper and lower traingles on the left hand side). The sensing bands under the header need to be in contact with the ground for the...

    Importing Shape Files Boundaries to MyJohnDeere

    Yes. In MyJD, goto 'More' then 'Files' then 'Upload Files' in the top right hand corner. Assuming you want the boundaries on the tractor, you then assign the file to the tractor and it then sends it to the tractor display via JDLink.

    Krm/bogballe isobus conversion kit

    Talk to the guys at KRM as i'm sure it can be done. We bought a fully ISObus M35W 12 months ago and it's spot on.

    Base station or Sim

    Sorry, what I meant was, what system are you running. I ask because this season we are suffering from 5G interference with a JD SF3000 receiver. Maybe you should talk to your dealer regard your system dropping satellites.

    Base station or Sim

    Loosing satilites is absolutely nothing to do with your RTK correction service and how you recieve it whether via a sim card or radio. What receiver have you got on the roof?

    Base station or Sim

    In my experience, it depends what you mean by 'drop outs'. Are they cellular (where your signal drops back to RTK float or DGPS), GPS (where you loose differetial all together) or is the base station going off line? For cellular, 4G is the way to go. If your modem is only 2 or 3G, random...

    Cost of replacing half chassis in a Disco 2 ?

    Half chassie is a waste of time IMO because they arn't long enough. If it was mine, and only if the rest of the vehicle was mint, i'd put a galv chassis from Richards under it and keep the ACS and SLS if it has it but then i'm a bit of a Disco fan. If your not a Land Rover fan, I don't think its...

    krm/Bogballe e-4 veins

    The online spread charts are very comprehensive at https://www.bogballe.com/fertiliser-spreaders/spread-charts/ Had a quick look. Running an M35W on Nitram at 30m i'd want E8 on it.

    Ag thoughts required for an automotive RTK product

    Starfire receivers communicate with the tractors steering controller via CANbus so the first problem is getting your reciever to talk the right JD language. Second problem is the the Starfire has inbuilt terrain compensation (yaw/roll) so your going to have to replicate that without the Starfire...

    Sprayer diaphragms,

    IME, there are two thing that damage pump diaphragms. Number one is cavitation when you run the pump with it starved of liquid either by turning the master suction tap off or a blocked suction filter etc. The second is over speed. Chassing the tractor down the road with the PTO in 540E or even...

    New Red Tractor crap.

    This made me chuckle a couple of weeks ago when it was in the news. It seems to me that no one has connected the dirty CO2 that comes out of car exhaust pipes with the nice clean CO2 that comes out of a bottle of lemonade as being the same stuff!

    6920s back end whine

    I'd be checking the oil and filters (suction screens as well) are clean for a start off. If they are, there can't be much wrong with it.

    JD 6310 Premium PTO

    If you know how to get into technician mode and find the right address in the dash display, you can turn the fender switch off to eliminate it from your investigation. It's quite common to come across a tractor where the fender switch doesn't work becasue its been diabled to keep the tractor going.
