Thanks. As usual it’s never obvious. I think the spec requires sub 20cm accuracy which without extra subscription is the Deere starfire system I think. I’ll see if the authority comes back with any wisdom.

Off topic more or less but does anyone know what the FETF47 grant covers? Looking at the numbers it can’t be for a complete system. I’d like to think that grant to fit a steering platform into an additional tractor while utilising an existing receiver and screen would fit the numbers they...

Planning permission for house extension was sought and we were even shown the elevation drawings at which time it was noted that the soak away from the sewage plant would be near the boundary. I can only assume that when it came to installing the unit it was easier to move it further from the...

Rare for this forum but I agree with everyone! Solicitor is on borrowed expensive time but legal foundations to avoid any future claim have been established which is a start. The digger is on a fencing job presently but won’t be parked up for long…. I was curious to see if it’s me missing the...

I believe it’s a klargester unit. They’ve been served with a formal notice but refuse to move it while kindly offering to buy the land. Any physical actions by ourselves will apparently result in police engagement due to criminal damage of their property. Good luck getting the police out for...

Looking for options and ideas on how to remove someone’s sewage treatment unit from my land. patch of field leased out for garden and kids pony back in 2012. Agreement was that when kids move on from pony then ground comes back. You can see where this is heading already unfortunately. ‘Can we...

My trimmer was devtrac and subsequently blakewells. I asked VT about axle brackets so it’s a small world. Trimmer is strong enough but like the spearhead, you need to ‘want’ to spend the extra money. it’s often a matter of productivity and use over cost. I’d like a barn full of shiny kit with...

6.5m telescopic with a 5 foot head running oil over oil joystick controls on it makes it a weapon on your own farm. Same old issues with dealer backup ie none and if you ever try to sell it you’ll be told that it’s not a bomford or mc Connell. I like it and it suits my farm but it’s heavy and...

Strainrite is the tool in mind. Wondered if anyone had made a copy? I personally prefer mild steel wire.

Anyone made or modified existing tools to create a wire tension gauge when installing or repairing wire fences? There are a couple available commercially which makes me think someone will have a diy version? I’m generally on 2.5mm twin strand mild steel barbed. Sounds like a good idea to have...

Thank you very much. we’re under Cornwall council who seem to live by different guidelines so any suggestions as above are worth perusing. Someone once said that it’s healthier to live in spite rather than pity. I’m not spiteful but neither am I about to let the little patch that I look after...

I evidently didn’t pass on all information. field purchased and used for recreation purposes. fast forward a few years and numerous reassurances to us neighbours they’re now applying for a certificate of lawfulness as you only need 4 years of residency to be compliant rather than the old...

Wet field that we surround upstream of my holding was sold ten years ago. new owners used it as a recreational field and despite their regular reassurance that they didn’t want to live there are now applying for a certificate of lawfulness. no point in getting overly cross about the sneaky...

Yes. Deere 324 rather than 342 as I stated. Right numbers, wrong order. As the output shaft speed required is 1000rpm I’d be confident in assuming the option on boxes is either the one I have or a 1:1 ratio. Not a big mower and not a new one but they last well as they’re not too heavy etc. It...

Just had another look at the first gearbox. 10 turns in the input gives 18.5 on the output. that’s a 1.85 increase. 540input gives 999rpm output Flip the box as Dave W noted and then Input 1000 gives output 540 at rated pto engine rpm. nope, I need 1000rpm output speed at engine 1000 front...

Crownwheel and pinion box is under the headstock. I’ll see what the gearing ratio is. Does it matter which is the driving and which is the driven shaft? I assumed you always drive the pinion shaft but I’m often wrong!

Thanks for the replies so far. John Deere (Kuhn) 342 mower conditioner. yes, it’s on a valtra and first gearbox is the same on this and bigger mowers. It’s the second box that would need altering potentially. Reduction boxes are a last resort in my mind as they’re rarely up to handling the...

Odd scenario as us often the case. Running a rear mower on 540 pto and investigating any options to alter it to 1000 speed pto so that it would be compatible with a front mounted mower that runs 1000 speed. annoyingly the tractors rear pto speed opinions are 540e or 1000 speed. Thinking about...

we built something similar . Not easy to see in this picture but 10’ forcing pen with Ritchie stock cube short secondary gate guides and becomes the race. 10’ 1/4 arc forcing pen, saloon door race gates, sheeted race panels, vet access gates and yard penning for 3.5k plus installation. Bateman...

Can’t do that as you’re obliged under the scheme regs to maintain the gs4 crop for the entire duration of the scheme. you could if organised fallow before applying for the scheme but it’s almost getting silly then.
