    Dowdeswell ploughs and others too

    Would anyone happen to know the difference between a DP7F and a 140MA? I'm thinking in terms of headstock strength, build quality, etc. Also the legs on a DP7F seem to be at right angles to the frame whereas on the MA140 they are swept back and curved, does that improve trash flow through it...

    film on film baler wrappers

    Sorry for yet another baler thread and apologies if asked before, but whats the general opinion on film on film roller balers, specifically a fusion 3? Looking at going back to a roller baler from the vario as most of what we do is silage, a couple of customers have asked about film on film. Do...

    Replacement for new Holland t7 200

    We went from a 200 to 270. we love it, my son reckons its best tractor he's ever driven and hes been on big Fendts and JD's. if it has a fault then possibly the auto command on the road isnt as good as fendt vario, so probably not ideal if doing a large percentage of road work.

    Farm saved seed

    Often use own seed and usually get someone in to clean and dress it, then the royalties are paid through them. If I drill straight from the heap then I pay BSPB accordingly. However the bill from the cleaners is alot of money, so wondering about dressing it myself through an auger into the...

    Grain dryer

    Looking for a grain dryer, electric drive, oil fired. Ideally 12/15 tonne batch drier or small continuous flow. Could possibly change requirements if something would fit our system

    Chafer mirage drive issue

    We’ve managed to get the charge pump off having checked umpteen other things first and have discovered the small drive shaft driving it from the transmission pump is sheared, probably caused by the bearing going in the end plate of the charge pump. Thanks to all for your suggestions

    Chafer mirage drive issue

    yeah there is a pump on the end so that was my thoughts but i'm being led to believe that theres a shaft that goes all the way through. does sound a bit over complicated though to me. I'll try them tomorrow, thanks.

    Chafer mirage drive issue

    Got a oldish (1999) Chafer Mirage that has suddenly lost its drive, the brakes wont come off, and the steps don't go up which I assume are linked to the brakes. All other hydraulic functions (steering, drive to sprayer pump, and boom functions) are working. Having spoken to my local sprayer...

    RW muckspreader rear beater knives/flails

    Does anyone have a source for the non genuine knives that bolt on to the rear beaters on the Richard Western muckspreader? Spaldings do the straight ones but not the twisted ones, can only source genuine off a dealer. Thanks

    Kuhn plough depth wheel damper ram

    Hi. Has anyone ever recharged the damper ram on a kuhn plough? Theres an Allen bolt screwed into the end presumably for this purpose, wondered if I was right, what oil, and how much to put in. Going over a bit faster than it used to do.

    Horsch duett coulters drilling depth issue

    Yes thanks. After umpteen discussions with folk including a nearby farmer, we’ve put a set of 3” Dutch openers on it. It’s transformed the drill. Bit of a hiccup with beans the other day but we’ve got some bean tubes for it now too. I guess you learn about these things. Thanks to everyone for...

    Horsch duett coulters drilling depth issue

    yeah, fair point. To be fair what has come through doesnt look too bad, but when we look immediately behind the drill its bloody awful. Definitely enough air, clock says 3500.

    Horsch duett coulters drilling depth issue

    It’s definitely level. We were on 3500 fan speed but have tried with it a bit slower but no different.

    Horsch duett coulters drilling depth issue

    Having laboriously drilled thousands of acres over the last 35 years with various power harrow/drill configurations, we've bit the bullet this year and bought a s/hand horsch sprinter on duett coulters. To say I'm dissappointed is an understatement. We know very little about how these things are...
