    2nd consultations underway for pylons across Scotland. Going off the new maps of the refined routes it looks ike they ignored all community feedback from my area and many others and are just carrying on regardless. Proposed 60acre substation at Beauly has now increased to 870 acres, although...

    What noise do tractor brakes make when going bad?

    Had the 6480 out for first time in nearly 3 months. Had the dump trailer on and when turning right off the road while braking there was a deep groan from the brakes. I thought it was the trailer brakes but tested it again without the trailer and it are the same noise but only when turning while...

    If your call up papers arrived...

    ...what would you do? Probably wouldn't have a choice but what exactly would we be fighting for? We currently treat illegal immigrants better than army vets, Britain as an entity doesn't really exist, it has no sense of pride, no identity, no borders, populated by millions of people with totally...

    Ploughing charge per hour.

    Not sure if I'll be doing any ploughing this year but looking at changing to a per hour charge rather than per acre. That's for a 4f reversible at 16" on a 150hp tractor. Some fields I do you can do 1.5 acre per hour or even a little more. However more often than not I'm down at an acre or...

    Quad not running right.

    I have a little ozark 250, in the last year or so it has developed a habit of miss firing, this occurs when you apply a little bit of throttle from idle, it will cough and splutter. It's noticeable when driving slow behind a flock of sheep or decending a slope with only a little throttle on...

    Anyone had this happen

    My silage last year was made with a belt baler, on past experience the bales they make are so hard in the centre the ewes can't eat them in a ring feeder. So I asked the contractor to chop them last year to see if that would help. Seems last night as the sheep were eating their way into the...

    Russian invasion of Europe

    Credible threat, or pure fantasy? Imo, Credible because putin would love to if he could, I think he would calculate that the West would not use nukes so it wouldn't necessarily need to go down that route. If trump wins Europe may well be on its own Fantasy because ukraine handed the Russians...

    Digger thumb

    Following on from my previous thread, I have got the auxiliary lines working, not enough power was reaching solenoid. Would like to fit a thumb on my digger, they are a game changer for moving branches, gorse and big rocks. Have a root rake bucket coming and think it will be ideal combo for...

    Excavator auxiliary lines

    I have a 6 ton volvo, don't have the book for it but it has one line either side of the dipper, I assume it's a return and a live feed. Fine for working a breaker but don't think I could work a 2 way ram? It would need a 3rd line for that? Was going to fit a thumb with fixed strut but...

    Oil cooler on my ec55 has sprung a leak, bottom channel right in the middle. It's aluminium and told the channels are too thin to weld, however the end tubes are heavier and can possibly be welded. My thought it to cut the bottom channel where It meets the end tube and weld the exit so its...
