    MF 7495 hydraulic oil transferring to backend!

    Our 7495 seems to be slowly transferring oil from the hydraulic tank to the backend. Everything is driving ok. Does anybody have any ideas what this could be? I was wondering where the braking system gets its oil from. Could it be leaking in through the carden brake etc? Any advice appreciated.

    Low disturbance subsoiling in a DD system

    We haven't ploughed since 2012 (some fields longer). We used a Claydon until 2016 and have used a Weaving GD since.
