I changed a car last May and the dealership transferred my private plate to the new car, I dropped the old one off (still with the private reg on it after checking with the salesman this was ok, was told yes they had taken care of all the paperwork and the new reg would be assigned to the trade...

Just upgraded the stabling here for our own use but have spare capacity now and could take a couple of liveries. I know there will be a rush of people telling me not to be so stupid, but IF we were to go ahead we would offer the following : 2 x stables, each with adjacent tack/feed store. Grass...

Currently have a MF 3080 and fancy another similar tractor, to add to it, I was thinking 3085 or 3095 in reasonable condition. Possibly a 2wd 3060 or 3070 would do. What sort of money are they making at the moment and what else would you suggest as an alternative for similar money? Won't be...

I currently have no borrowing but could do with raising some money to carry out improvements to the land/buildings and house, good salary coming in from full time employment and decent income from the diversified farm business. The last bank I had a mortgage with need a business plan before...

Thinking of going down the leasing route for the next car, what companies can people recommend? Any pitfalls to watch out for?

Currently running a 7.5T horsebox, which is cheaper to run than the Disco & trailer it replaced, however we're looking at moving to a larger lorry as it's become apparent the 7.5 isn't big enough going forward, a 12T would probably do but 18T would be future proof and I'm only really planning on...

Looking at the potential for buying a Shepherds hut or similar, what are the alternatives? Can't really get my head around pods, they look small, not keen on the Geo-domes, what else is there out there? Tried bell tents and don't want to go back there...:oops: How many nights do people want to...

Up to a few years ago I bred pedigree AA, prior to that, ped Lims & Blues also, never in my life did I envisage asking about keeping highlands but times change, and so have I. Anyway, small farm, there will come a point in the not too distant future where no-one will be home during the day...

Anyone set up a security gate with key-fob or code entry at a site with no close by 240v? I've seen these solar / battery gates and they look perfect, does anyone have any experience with them? We keep getting people coming down our (long..) farm lane to have a nosy/ turn round/ have a pee...

My 1989 3080 is starting to look a bit tired, I'm only the third owner from new, it's original owner had it for 3 years, its been with me for last 6 years, and everything in between with someone who really looked after it, it was a credit to them when it came here, all still in good original...

Can anyone recommend a good mechanic that would be willing to inspect and report back on a 7.5 ton horsebox in Bolton BL3 area for us as obviously, being in Wales we can't travel that far right now. PM if you prefer, it would need to be someone from the local area and observing social distancing...

As a bit of a hobby, myself and my father buy and sell various bits & bobs, old tractors, machinery, anything really. I've been thinking about buying a 12 or 18t 4x2 beavertail truck to move stuff round, give myself the option of looking further afield, going to the odd sale etc. I've got a...

Got an opportunity to buy an Iveco Eurocargo 7.5 tonne wagon 2004, anyone have any knowledge on these? What are the weak points / things to look out for on them? Cheers.

Had my Discovery 3 for 6 years now and it's fair racked up some spending on it in that time, with a few more costs already 'in the post' that I know of (Torque converter and potentially g/box) Trouble is, it's sooo bloody good when it works... I'd love a D4 but don't really want to go through...

Just thinking of reviewing the insurance value of my MF 3080 4wd, autotronic 32 speed, 1989. It's in very good original condition with a Quicke Q950 loader. Currently valued at £10,500. Think I'd struggle to replace it for that.

A friend of mine who'se getting on in years has left a vehicle with a body repair garage after paying the quoted amount for repair in full (several thousand) 🙈 I did some homework and found reports of them being of the very dubious kind. They have had the vehicle for 18 months and have recently...

Looking for a decent trail camera, I think I have nocturnal visitors on a part of the farm away from the house and buildings, I think I know what's going on but need proof before I confront them, any recommendations? Could do with one without any tell tale visible lights etc, do they send...

Afternoon, my 1989 4wd 3080 has just started to display a couple of issues that might be related to the autotronic box under the cab, thought it worth asking on here before taking the plunge... The PTO comes on too fast, it breaks shear bolts on the topper for example most of the time now on...

Looking for ideas for dog kennels and runs, thinking of a block built building to house the dogs with an attached concrete floored mesh run built on, 4 'outside dogs' to house, 3 Labs & a Collie (all bitches), all currently live together and sleep in a shed but I've no run for them, they are...
