The 270 has started to tilt the carriage gently without a command from the joystick. Before I take things apart I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem. It started with the tilt but has now moved on to the lift. They both creep very gently while I operate the log splitter from the...

Ok I admit I am no Spring Chicken, but simple tasks used to be, well Simple. Adjusting the time on your clock. A simple knob. My Fastrac 2170 is so sophisticated that the clock seems to lose about five minutes a day. To adjust it I have to refer to the book. Turn engine off, select...

Back in 1990 I decided to build an Agribuggy in the farm workshop. Somebody abandoned a 1750 Allegro in a field so we had an engine and gearbox. We welded up a simple oblong chassis from box section, found two Land Rover front axles for four wheel steer plus Land Rover springs. Mounted either...

Father bought this 1950 petrol model in 1960 and it has been in regular use since then. Currently operating a Fleming mower and Urban branch logger Only discovered relatively recently who the second owner was in 1958, she only owned it for a year but may have driven it to take some hay to the...

Done over 8000 hours but was working well. No problem with the spool valves which all work well. The lift was working well , I left the tractor for a month pulled lever back and no lift at all, not even trying. Hydraulic oil at the right level on the dipstick, all the control rods move when...

We cultivated a couple of our fields ready for drilling Winter Wheat and Winter Beans. Of course it has not stopped raining ever since and we actually have a couple of fields that look as though they have been drilled, even seem to have drill coulter lines but they are all shed seed from last...

Water,water everywhere. You all know this so I will not depress you all further. My wife has been writing a crime thriller, with the hope of the publication bringing in some extra income as another form of diversification. It is called "The Invisible Army" and it is about an old woman who has...

Seeing that a large proportion of the cabinet voted to remain, and only a handful voted to leave could it be in view of the appalling election campaign, preceded by a budget which not only seemed to alienate core Tory voters, but also managed a u turn, that all this was a deliberate act to...

A new word seems to have crept into the language of politics, usually spat out by politicians and bureaucrats who wish to remain unaccountable. I see several definitions on this link but in practice surely our democracy has always been populist...

Is the Draper item worth the £200 or would you advise sticking with the trusty old conventional? I have a fair amount of daily greasing to do and am always looking for an easier and less messy way...

Worth making a big cup of tea and listening to Ron Paul. Things have moved on from June 27th but the main theme remains.

We have a 2009 2170 which has only done 700 hours. Half way through a power harrow/drill run the engine suddenly started to run rough. Lost about 50% power and sounded out of balance. At first I thought it has dropped a piston but calmer analysis showed the likely cause to be engine management...

Just wondering if anyone has come up with a more permanent and easy solution to sealing the accidental or mouse hole in the plastic half ton or ton bags, which is better than stuffing a bit of rag/paper to fix it. Perhaps a glob of expanding foam, or glue gun of some sort or a heat gun or even a...
