    Wreckers!!

    Without enough air pressure there is what you could describe as an in-between point where the brakes are on and you need to wait for more air pressure to let them off BUT it's not the same as hgv system. Hgv brakes are spring applied and rely on air pressure in the brake chambers to push against...

    Annoying tools

    The bubble is called a vial here, I guess there will have been the odd "vial" of something used where lawyers and big money is concerned over the years

    Electric cars aren't the future

    If there is enough demand there will be places where batteries can be repaired or where you'll be able to exchange a defective one for a repaired or refurbished one. E bikes until recently if there was a motor fault it was either warranty replacement or buy a new motor, there was no repair...

    New Holland T7 front driveline knocking

    I think the one you mean usually burns the paint off the casting when it's knackered which would seem to be a possibility when the op mentioned a burning smell.

    Machinery price discussion .

    You mean they've knocked a chunk off the list price, you'll still need paying the same just the discount will be less.

    Red Diesel issues anyone else?

    Trouble is bio content is hygroscopic so even when using it fairly quickly theres a fair chance that over time you'll get issues. The other thing to note is that as it absorbs and carries water it takes it right through the fuel system on vehicles/machinery it doesn't even separate in sediment...

    Red Diesel issues anyone else?

    Prevention is better than the cure. Ever since the increased bio/fame content every delivery of fuel needs additive/fuel conditioner.

    Lowloader/bale trailer build

    You'll soon tire of a pair of alloy ramps you have to man handle that I do know. The issue with a flat trailer rather than beavertail is the extra length needed on the ramps to keep a nice angle for driving up means they are a long way up in the air when folded up unless you can get a trailer...

    Please explain this frugal Fendt

    That's an absolute maximum figure for fuel use though when the engine is at it's absolute peak output and being nearly 1.5 litre bigger engine it will be a higher figure. I'd doubt you'll be running it that hard all day, if so buy a bigger hoss

    6" twinwall price.

    Polypipe used to be the best twinwall pipe by a mile imo (provided it was blue inside) but I've not used any for a long time so don't know if it's still the same quality.

    6" twinwall price.

    There are bs numbers or specs but they are just a minimum requirement. There did used to be two specs of twinwall from some manufacturers but not sure if there is now. Tbh most makes look fairly similar now.

    Telescopic Boom Lubricant for 2022 JCB

    I never strictly cleaned the boom on mine just stopped using waxoyl on it and rust would be my only concern. Luckily it's used often enough it's not an issue and I'm careful to always park it so that when it rains water doesn't run back inside the boom. The whole point of nylon wear pads is...

    Telescopic Boom Lubricant for 2022 JCB

    If it's not sitting about enough to go rusty and the steel where it slides is nice and shiny don't bother putting anything on. Any grease or waxoyl will just create a grinding paste which I guess is good for business if you sell the pads. You may find a brief period where the boom may be a bit...

    Amarok steering issue

    If VW deem the only solution changing the whole steering system and can't narrow the issue down to one part of it it's a pretty poor show. If they are gonna change so many parts was the steering system for for purpose or safe from the beginning?

    Re mapping

    Maybe or more likely competing against bigger cheaper tractors by tweaking smaller cheaper tractors this able to compete in price and performance. They were all at it to some degree, good many ts115 do you see with a turbo and they didn't leave factory with one.

    Hp vs fuel use

    Simply put you can't produce hp without burning fuel it is simply how the science works. You are burning fuel to release the energy stored within it and there's only a certain amount available and modern engines are all very close with regard to how efficiently they can do this. The biggest...

    Hp vs fuel use

    Depends on the work, if it's easy work even for the 7740 then I'd expect the tm to use more but if the 7740 is working near it's limit you might find the tm similar.

    Re mapping

    Was a period of time few Deere's would be sold that hadn't been tweaked (other manufacturers/dealers have done the same) but it leads to sad faces at some point.
