    You think people make sh!t hay deliberately? Maybe in a super dry corner of Suffolk it seems so simple that it should always be good quality, how many bales do you bale a year?

    Engine Oil pressure

    Those numbers are pretty low, especially the 15psi hot idle pressure. How many hours has it done? With those low pressure numbers, I’d expect one of these scenarios: 1) The engine has done a lot of hours and the bearings are all pretty worn. 2) It’s got the wrong oil in it (viscosity too low)...

    Emtpying oil Via spool valve query

    Cavitation is voids being formed in a fluid at low pressure, basically bubbles of empty space. When the pressure increases again, those bubbles collapse causing shock waves to pass through the fluid, generating noise and possible mechanical damage. It cannot possibly happen in the pressure...

    Emtpying oil Via spool valve query

    Just to be clear about what you’re saying, when the oil level gets low enough that the pump inlet starts to pull in a combination of oil and air, you’re calling that cavitation?

    Emtpying oil Via spool valve query

    Drawing air and cavitating are two very different things.

    Playing Gran Turismo is practise for carting with an AD firm, think the OP is more interested in grain harvest.

    Tractor driving test

    Since confidence is the main issue, could you get him started tractor driving just doing some easy field work? Something slow and steady like rolling silage ground would give him seat time without the stress of a test, then build up from there. If you could get him to the point that he can...

    Unused holiday entitlements

    I’d say that’s your employer’s problem more than yours. If they want to run a business then they need to have provisions for holiday cover in place, wtf did they expect to happen when they told you you had (at least) 18 days holiday allowance?

    Honda 500 Foreman Quad?

    Regularly pull 500kg of feed blocks in our CFM trailer with various Hondas, ranging from Foreman 400 to 500. 2/3rd of the weight at the front to get enough traction to get up our hill road, with a steady driver it’s fine but you definitely don’t want to try any properly steep bits, either up or...

    Harry's farm

    Because you’ve jumped to a conclusion before even hearing/seeing the scientific evidence that supports his opening statement. That data highlights the differences between global data and UK specific data, thus demonstrating the inaccuracies of the Channel 4 documentary.

    Wreckers!!

    The rated capacity of a crane has the lift radius inside of the outriggers, so it’s not a balancing act, just a question of the structural strength and the winch rating.

    Hexashift on pre 2013 Claas tractors

    I drove an 850 on a harvest job, could never get the auto mode set to work very well. As I remember it, you could adjust the speed it shifted at but I couldn’t find a setting that worked for both upshifts and downshifts. I thought it was a pretty good transmission though, with decent shift...

    Fendt going 200hp 4pot?

    It depends on what speed the aircraft is designed for, at slower speeds (up to something like Mach 0.5), I believe that turboprops are more efficient, but also a lot noisier, hence they’re used for big military transports etc. Turbofans are more efficient and quieter, so they’re used in planes...

    Fendt going 200hp 4pot?

    Using that analogy, combined with your previous observations about takeoff power versus cruising power: Without a battery, when the electric motors on the wings are at take off power, then the fuel burning turbine generator needs to have at least the same power output. With a battery, then...
