The air seat in our manitou seems determined to be in charge of how much air it wants in. I’m getting sick of pumping it up just for it to go back down to where it thinks I should be. last one never did this. I assumed there would be a way of doing it manually but it seems not???

I’ve been looking into options for guidance on a non AGR T7.210, having been quoted £16k plus fitting for full intellisteer retrofit that’s not happening!! The dealer then suggested a Trimble EZ pilot pro, using existing intelliview screen but with Trimble 900 receiver and steering column...

We got a leaflet and associated info through early this year saying as of January 1st 2023 all slurry on a farm in Scotland with over 200 cattle in total must apply slurry using a low emissions system, and there’s a grant to support this. We’ve ordered one but I can’t say the idea fills me with...

How times have changed. Let’s see your oldest and newest machine on the farm. When the New Holland is as old as the Massey it will likely have been recycled 3 times :ROFLMAO:

I fully expect all the why bother etc comments but a standard tractor horn is a bit crap let’s be honest. Problem is, I’m not a fan of the air horns on the cab roof, it’s not really my “style” Is it possible to mount them lower down, behind the cab for example above the spool valves? Or would...

So I had a spare couple of hours and thought I’d try and freshen up the paint on the tanker before it goes in for its dribble bar. I was questioning my own sanity half way through but I’m more than impressed with the end result! It actually has knocked years off it’s life and the paint has an...

Just had someone in trying to push Solar panels, company called UK farming renewables ltd. Reeled off a list of local farms all getting them done, but cannot find much about them online at all, except for the fact they seemed to have been started in 2020. Just didn’t get a good feeling from...

Well that’s my nice relaxing breakfast hour ruined as I turn on the TV and see an article being discussed about meat being banned in schools, and one school in Lancashire already has done so. Jesus wept!!!

This can’t just be me, but on my previous T7 I had a new potentiometer fitted which had mysteriously got damaged. No idea how up there tucked behind the front end like it is. So that got changed under warranty. A couple of years later it stopped saying more than 70% on the height when it was...

Currently looking at Storth, major and Slurrykat bars. Was wanting 9m but there’s a big price jump to the 9m slurrykat and major only do a 7.5 anyways. All salesman have said 7.5m is popular. However I can’t help but think I’m going to be narrower than splash plate. Unless it’s the wrong way to...

Never heard of this company before, would anyone recommend their tanker mounted dribble bars over the likes of slurrykat farmline ones?

Can’t work out what the issue can be. The lever in cab on the T5 moves about an inch and no further. There’s no pressure on the pin that locks the hitch up you can move it with your finger. The silver lever down below that attaches to the release cable looks to be all ok etc? Has anyone else...

Anyone else catch this? The usual “load not netted” and no number plate on trailer. It was a fair load but it was going nowhere imo. Lad was only 16 and lucky to get away with a warning. Especially after admitting there was probably 20 tonne in the trailer!

Wasn’t sure what section to post this in so apologies if it’s wrong :) Having a mare today with getting slurry out, seems the gate valve nearest the tower (Sod’s law) has come apart from the lifting rod. Threads look fine but there’s no threading it in at all. I’m at a loss as to what to try...

Had ours a few months now and it always bugged me how awful the stock armrest was, way too far back and low down, and hard too. So a couple of days ago I ordered this from Eagle4x4 and it arrived today. 10 minutes to fit, super high quality matching exactly with the rest of the trim. Nice and...

Planning to change the mower oil for the first time, book says SAE 90 but most bits I’ve called round here seem to say 80w-90 will do. Can anyone advise? I can find SAE90 online but seems not many keep it in stock locally.

Hoping someone on here could shed some light before I have to do some more in-depth digging.. Last couple of days my tractor has been making a chatter while driving, only in the 1500 to 1800rpm area, and only under load or slowing down in that rev range... Doesn’t seem to be engine related as no...

So it was made aware to me today that some water is surfacing outside of our field, in the gateway, but parallel to where the grass verge usually would be. So Definately clear of the fence line by a couple of feet. I called Scottish water who came out this evening and tested it. No chlorine...

We got this Terex 72-11 in 1976, it’s a 1973 machine, and it was in full daily service until 2008, where a second 72-11 took over and this became a parts backup. When the manitou arrived in 2018 they were always on borrowed time, and this one went away to the scrap yard yesterday. What a lump...

Got this old rake / Tedder out of the shed today for the first time in years. Any idea if it’s the sort of thing people still use? Or if it even has much value? Runs as sweet as a nut too!
