I have just bought an old TA5 Ifor Williams trailer, The body and decks are in excellent condition but the axles and brakes are all shot. Would I have to buy genuine Ifor axles etc or can I buy replacement axles with hubs from who ever manufactures them? I am guessing it has the early type Alko...

We have had a couple of ewes with Mastitis in one quarter over the last couple of days. Called the vet and she gave me an injection for ewes called Draxxin. Has anyone used this and had any success with this drug? One of the ewes is a hogg can't remember ever having a hogg with mastitis.

In 40 plus years of lambing sheep we have never had one like we had today. The ewe had the first lamb herself which was a good size and full of life. She was struggling to push the second out so we had a feel. 4 legs and a head coming together. So we presumed the ewe was pushing 2 lambs together...

Just wondering if anyone has bought a new Defender. I had an extended test drive in one a couple of weeks ago and was very impressed. I had intended to buy a Discovery5 but I have ordered a new Defender. Yes they are a lot of money but hopefully will have a good resale value.

We have an MF 3085 Dynashift which goes well but there are times when you are going up hills that you could do with a bit more power. I am wondering if anyone knows if we could buy a turbo kit for it. I know TB turbos used to sell a kit but they don't exist anymore.

G0t a couple of oil leaks on our 3085 which we like to fix one is from the pto shaft. Would that be the oil seals on the actual shaft as it only leaks when we use the pto? The other leak is gear oil coming from the front hub, what would be involved with fixing that?

We are trying to repair a two stage tipping ram on an old Ferguson trailer and I wondered if anyone knows who sells new seals for these rams.

My neighbour has a DB 1490 which cut out going down a slope and now won't start. We have bled it and got fuel coming out the bleed screw. Today we managed to get of fire with half a can of easy start but it would not run when we stopped spraying the easy start. It puffs out plenty of white smoke...

Going to Bolus my ewes this year with Tracesure with copper was just wondering if its ok to also worm drench the ewes at the same time. Any thoughts?

Tried to log on today to do a vat return and was unable because I keep being asked for a 9 Digit vat number when mine has always been a 12 digit number. Tried to contact the vat people by phone but they keep referring me to online help which is no help at all. Has anyone else had problems...

We have just bought a Massey 3085 off a forum member which didn't have a tool box. I believe the tool box should be located below the front nearside window on the outside of the cab. I just wondered if someone with a 3000 series Massey could post a picture of the correct location and the bracket...

Got a young ewe that lambed a single about a week ago that still has some afterbirth hanging from the backend. She is well and eating well not straining she had the lamb herself. I have given her a dose of LA antibiotics. Should I try pulling it out or just leave it? Not had one like this for a...

I see Aldis are selling British lamb for £4.49 per KG for Easter from today. Looks like they are undercutting the other supermarkets by quite a margin.

Got a young tup, well he would be 2.5 years old which I can't get any condition on he is way to skinny. I believe he has a problem with his mouth as it looks swollen on one side but is quite hard to touch. He is eating but takes a while to eat his small Lamb nuts I give him. He is a Beltex x...

Is anyone going this weekend? We are off there tomorrow.

Used our Galligani 3200 baler for the first time today. Unfortunately it didn't go that well it wasn't cutting thenet pproperly and then it automatically net wrapped a bale far to soon so we ended up with a few half size bales. Would it be a case of sharpening the net blade. Also it wasn't...

Does anyone know of somebody who hires out weedwipers in the mid Wales area. I was thinking of buying one to go behind the quad but they seem to be rather expensive for what they are. I want to try and get rid of the rushes this year.
