    100ish HP Tractor

    Looking for a replacement for a friend for his 6255, really can't be any bigger but a little smaller is no problem as long as it is big enough to handle a 24ft bale trailer full of straw/hay. Budget under 30 grand if possible, anything excluding VAT prefferable as he isnt VAT registered. Needs...

    Moseley Says Sack The Board

    https://www.fwi.co.uk/news/sack-the-board-if-you-sack-me-says-red-tractor-boss Can't say I disagree with him on that, fire the lot of them... Get some people in that care about the farmers they are supposed to be working for, not the supermarkets which they have decided to work for instead.

However, some of them do not heat up at all. have tried bleeding these and no air was released, only cold water (while the other radiators are...

    Shotgun cartridge reloading

    Not quite sure where to put this so move it if it’s in the wrong place… I do a reasonable amount of shooting, clays and pigeons/crows (unfortunately not pheasants as nobody has invited me on a shoot and I’m far too cheap to pay). For a little while now I’ve been trying to save the spent...

    AgOpenGPS Prebuilt

    Hi all, Is anybody making an AgOpenGPS based system that is put together already and then sold as a complete system, fieldbee/trimble esque? Would be a good idea if not, as not everyone would have the skills time or inclination to do electronics. Just want to buy a kit, bolt it on and off you...

    D1000/800

    Hi all, Looking into the possability of perhaps getting a big baler. I'm after something that wont pack the bales too tight, as the modern balers seem to struggle to make a light enough bale to allow the hay to breathe in the middle without it falling apart. Im also on a quite tight budget, so...

    Teagle titan tyre woes

    Anybody else have issues with the tyres on the titans continuously going flat? Seem to be always having problems with ours, even after fitting 4 brand new tyres. They’re 10.5/65/16 size. It’s my best trailer for delivering bales, 18ft with the wheels right in the middle ideal for narrow lanes...

    SFI, CS, ETC

    Fordson Major

Im not sure what she's worth to be honest, hence why im putting it on the forum and not on the classifieds (hopefully clive wont shout at me :laugh: ) Have it advertised at £1100 on facebook but it has been on there a bit and not sold so i'd be open to offers really.

    Sprayer

    Looking at getting a small sprayer to go behind an MF135, looking at the 400l hardi 6M ones (around the 4 grand mark). They do a 12M 800l one for 6800, but thinking that may be a bit big for some of the small fields I might end up doing. Will be getting a bigger sprayer in a few years when I...

    Spring Cropping and Triticale

    Hybrid rye has been a complete failure this year, bugger all of it has grown just drowned in the ground... Can you get spring hybrid (or non hybrid if its any good?) for combining? If so what variety is best. We really liked the winter hybrid rye grown last year, shame its not worked out. Straw...

    Fergie TED 20 carb problems

    Recently got my hands on a nice little TED 20, non runner when I got her but she's running now after a new electric dizzy and some plugs. Stripped and cleaned the carb to get it to run on petrol but its still not running quite right. If the choke is pulled it will run, turn off the choke and it...

    Welger Small Baler

    Looking at changing my 456a john deere, was looking seriously at getting an MF inline but proving dificult to find one and they're rather pricey. Had several people recomend welgers, and they seem slightly cheaper too which wouldnt be a bad thing. Im impressed by the amount of twine it looks...

    Small Baler - In-line

    Would quite like to get a new small baler, been looking at the inline MF but open to other (maybe cheaper) options. Whats out there? Got a 456a JD at the moment so wants to be on par or better than that - prefferably in-line to the tractor as well for ease of transport and use
