    New toy day

    The positioning is daft where they are. Our manitou has them there but not on the top, one either side of the boom. i don’t think there’s a farm handler out there that at some point hasn’t kissed a shed roof with the boom, I know I have. But those lights will be the first point of contact.

    How to set constant PTO speed on T6.180

    My OCD is kicking in strong here ;) As above it’s the 1 and 2 buttons you need glad you got sorted out :)

    New Ranger vs New Amarok

    Nothing is untraceable these days believe me. Dealer level software can find it and flag it on their database automatically. It’s not down to the techs discretion, the computer puts a flag on the car and that’s that.

    If it was a £9k swap I’d be posting pics in the new toy day thread already :)

    I hate modern tractors

    yep it’s been a really cheap tractor to run but it’s always hard to tell as trade in price can be skewed. Currently approx £7.50 per hour in depreciation.

    I hate modern tractors

    Salesman was in for another reason and eyes lit up when he saw mine, he said about the new one and he could find a home for mine right away. Next thing I have a quote. Easy as that really. Like always if it had stacked up I’d have changed. Didn’t plan on it last Time but it was a no brainer...

    I hate modern tractors

    New cab is really smart though. Definately feels and looks very premium. Also gearbox not as noisy and can hardly hear stuff like the handbrake noise now. Suspension seems to actually perform front axle was moving like a John Deere. Overall really nice but my current tractor is literally as new...

    I hate modern tractors

    I’m sitting on a quote right now to change our T7.210 autocommand for a new T7.230 autocommand (new style cab) Tractor is in stock, let’s just say I could add a 2019 T7.270 I’ve seen online with guidance and 2600 hours for less than the cost to change… :oops:

    New Holland T5 Dynamic Command

    i remember that from my old Power command, but at least you could move. The T5 just won’t budge until it deems itsself ready.

    New Holland T5 Dynamic Command

    Not really any issues, my only gripe is that when it’s freezing temps it just won’t move sometimes, have to leave it sitting for 5 mins before transmission will even move. Wouldn’t be ideal on a feeder wagon. Normal temps it never does it. Perhaps it’s a dodgy temp sensor but it’s done it from...

    Marshall rear discharge

    Thats a large machine! How much does it hold? Even ours with dense strawy shed muck can use all of a T7.210 when your pulling it plus the PTO on and bed running.

    Marshall rear discharge

    Ouch! £32k would take a bit more justifying. Like you we had no trade in, just started from Scratch. That’s now approx £665 a month on a 4+44 deal that’s assuming they still do 0% on it too. Considering it’s parked in a shed for 10 months of the year that’s a lot of money to spend. Having said...

    Marshall rear discharge

    I think in 2020 ours was £19k brand new, for the D4095 model. It holds a really good load mind you. Just took it on a 4+44 deal so it’s finished and paid off now and the machine still looks like new. Plus it’s now an asset which will always have a value.

    Marshall rear discharge

    Is a Richard western crazy money these days? ours is 4 years old now and I love it. Been absolutely faultless and as you say it’s amazing what you can shift in a day, loaded to the gunnels.

    Farming sucks .

    Agreed. Totally and utterly fed up this winter. We’ve had 1 week of a frost, and it’s basically rained since about September. Total I was ready to walk away, soaked through and bored and that’s just doing the routine boring jobs. Zero enthusiasm for the job at the moment.

    Tanking

    I find the revs are usually so low spreading anyways that it’s almost pointless running in 540e
