    In my opinion …

    …., and having read posts for and against, it’s not worth driving hours to look at a tractor, combine, forager or other large engine driven kit unless you really know what you’re looking at - and even that is likely subjective.

    … why, with a few exceptions, do you dairy farmers not put your 2p worth in to the environment debates in Agricultural Matters? Are you really ok with the potential threats or syphoning off of your carbon credits under the various schemes ?

    Converting a Generator from its own engine to PTO
