Ironically that tractor spends most of its time either on the drill or the baler. it Hardly ever does a non PTO job.

Does that include hinges and pins for a 1996 MLT 628 as our door pins are knackered as well.

We swapped from Michelin 520/85/38s which always looked small to BKT 650/70/42s (and BKT are known for been on the large side) with matching fronts on our Vario NH and it now does same top speed cos the computer rules but at 300rpm less

Seems Kuhn can’t make there minds up 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ the only thing I will say is having looked at several brands of tine drill the Kuhn frame mounting points aren’t the strongest and are prone to cracking I’m told.

One application at a time yes, that’s caught us out as i wasnt aware of it either. one application per year I hope not

Court Judge probably told him to go spend £20 on a new chinesium wireless and move on

Somehow we managed to get all but 12 acre of 200 spring barley drilled in March with a geriatric combi on a tractor not really big enough to properly boss it In anything other than perfect conditions. good job it’s fairly Stoney well draining land. just 30 or so acres of legume mix into proper...

We’re 11 weeks into a claim and no money yet. well at least that’s what I thought until I did some digging into things. Turns out the agent messed up and didn’t bother to tell us. It won’t happen again!

A deal isn’t finished till the last part ex in the chain is sold. And that’s probably where the profit Is.

I’m not a fergie person but spec for your £££ the 7400 series always look decent value. As does the Claas stuff. However I would think if you were to fancy something decent from the blue stable a T7000 is as good as anything.

Ok so if you were a machinery dealer how would you advertise your stock so people can see what you have for sale?

Go and have a walk round the ripon yard make a note of every machine thats in there, then compare it to the website……. multiply that by all the depots.. Its a well known fact that us farmers are sad buggers who will sit surfing dealers yards for kit on an evening as the Mrs has some shite on...

Hmmm you obviously never worked for my boss have you. Wants everything perfect and done yesterday.

Yes ripon site is a complete tip. Stuff everywhere and most not advertised, only been there once recently and it surprised me

168 hours in a week the average employee only works less than a 1/4 of the time. and a lot of them still moan there stressed and over worked despite effectively having around 5-1/2 days a week off!

Yes I used them as there a major player and would leave a massive hole in the HD dealer network if they said nope we’re not gonna sell them anymore. As for the balance sheet it would look even better if they actually advertised everything they have kicking about at various depots. From what I’ve...

I do believe livestock eye are no longer trading

Well I suppose nothing lasts forever does it, some dealers can tell the manufacturer to get lost, I believe Sharmans effectively did that a few years back and appear to doing well with a new franchise others as we all know, losing a main franchise finishes them.

I wonder how many of the bigger dealers could get out if they wanted to? let’s use say Ripon Farm Services as a random example, sure there’s lots of rumours about there finances but let’s say if the directors st down one day looked at the accounts and all agreed that there was no light at the...

Ah but if its same price if you wrote the cheque you may as well take the finance. Interest free is just a quicker simpler way of explaining it.
