    Tree shear for 7.5t digger - is it worth it?

    We use a tmk300 on a Kubota 8t machine. It's brilliant, it doesn't like oak, but most other woods handles nicely. We have two aux lines so the shear on one and a tilting headstock on the second makes the machine incredibly useful. If I was buying another, they do it with a collector, great for...

    Knight Sprayer Compressor Oil Change.

    I was always told compressor oil. They are useless, mine wore its piston rings and they can’t supply only the rings so it’s a whole new compressor if it stops blowing off eventually!

    Knight vs landquip

    I did 3 seasons with a knight trailblazer 5200. It was generally a great machine, boom good, travelled pretty well for size, auto section control, auto fill, auto boom levelling. Had a few problems in that time But nothing too major, pump is under specced for size of machine in my opinion and...

    Bateman RB35 flotation tyres

    I’ve been out today, all on established tramlines so I guess that makes a difference but made little mess.

    Bateman RB35 flotation tyres

    Will check size later. They are Michelin Xeobibs I think. We had the Michelin rep out, filled it up with 4000l, he weighed each corner and told us 12psi is the lowest I could go and still do 40k on the road. I run at 14 as I felt it’s a little safer turning on some of our steep side banks!

    Bateman RB35 flotation tyres

    Obviously not, but as I said above my Bateman on 600’s is down at 14psi, I’m interested as to why the OP says they can’t go lower than 22...?

    Bateman RB35 flotation tyres

    How come? Our 710’s on tractors can go as low as 8psi for rolling if we wish! I can’t see why you can’t go lower than 22... what make of tyre?

    Bateman RB35 flotation tyres

    What pressure are you running at? I’m on 600’s on my 35 running at 14psi, I have a 24m contour boom so a little lighter than you but even in poor conditions I wouldn’t say it makes that much mess.

    Mobile RTK Greenstar using JD Link MTG modem

    I can’t comment on using it through the JD link system but we have the MRTK modems on the back of our sf3000 receivers and they are good but can loose signal under tree lines and in lowest part of valleys.

    Spraycare trailed sprayer.

    Another thought I had, is the pressure gauge reading correctly, can you check it with another perhaps?

    Spraycare trailed sprayer.

    It will definitely affect it. Most sprayers of that age have a set of magnets on a disc on the axle, these pass an electro magnet which sends a pulse to the controller. Usually you would be required to travel 100m with the computer counting the pulses I’ve that distance and therefore giving a...

    Spraycare trailed sprayer.

    This shouts to me that the speed sensor is out of calibration.

    BASIS Project Ideas

    Pick something you are interested in, it’s much easier. I have just completed the course at harper, they will ask you about potential project ideas in your first week of the course so they will tell you if you are on the money or not. As a sprayer operator I wanted to do something applicable to...

    Buying a high hr self propelled sprayer?

    Although my Bateman has many less hours than you are looking at I would highly recommend them, the machines are simple, which makes them simple to fix, they are very helpful on the phone at the factory, parts always arrive next day, when you have a serious problem they endeavour to get you up...

    Controlled traffic + combine spout

    Like Clive, I see the straw as more valuable when it’s chopped. I see your point, all depends on the system doesn’t it. I’m just answering the question of why it doesn’t necessarily matter that the wheel widths don’t match up.
