    John Deere Fuel Guarantee 6R

    I see John Deere have extended their fuel use guarantee to the 6R models. Basic premise is after the first 12 months of use if you have used more diesel than their benchmark they refund the value of the extra diesel back to you. If you beat their benchmark they pay you back double the value of...

    Discovery Engine Woes

    I’d really like to buy a 3-4 year old Discovery 4, it would suit our needs down to the ground- but their TFF reputation is putting me off. Are their certain model years that are causing problems with the bearing shells spinning? Were the pre facelift 4’s ok? Are they sorted now? Are Land Rover...

    An Amazon heads-up

    Found this on amazon and had it delivered today. Really impressed with it for the money. I always had my eye on a RAM X mount one but could never bring myself to spend £36 on a phone mount. This one at £15.99 gives you an eye mount ball, rail mount ball, rail size reducer, spares and the solid...

    Heavy duty weld mesh stuff

    What's the proper name for the heavy duty split mesh that's fitted to the back of buckrakes? I'm after some but don't know what to ask for.

    New JCB TM420

    Anyone heard any spec details of this? Only assumptions I can make from the photo is 4.2t lift and 26 inch wheels. Looks a fair machine.

    Vaderstad Carrierdrill 300

    Has anybody used or had experience of these? I'm after a fairly basic drill that will handle a lot of maize trash. Some flatlifted ground, some ploughed. On the videos they look as though they crab quite badly- is that a reality?

    Well done Franks Curtis

    After some recommendations on here I ordered some Massey parts from the above. What a breath of fresh air they are to deal with, despite having never dealt with us before and being at the opposite end of the country the storeman couldn't have been more helpful. They had some of the parts on...

    800/65r32 or 800/60r34 on tanker?

    Which of the above is most suitable for tanker and injector? The r32 is basically the old 30.5 r32 radial. I suppose the question is which can run at lower pressure given the same load and speed?

    Steel Massey can suspension accumulator

    A few weeks ago a company flagged up on Facebook advertising replacement accumulators for 6400/7400 cab suspension made of steel box section. I've got one gone now, but can't remember the name of the company. Any ideas?

    ACR settings

    What is everyone setting the ACR takeoff flow rate at? We had ours at 405g/ minute with no time delay, but there was over milking going on. Have increased now to 675g/ min, having increased it in steps over the last week. Seems about right, although you need to keep an eye on 3 girls that have a...

    Odd Massey fuelling issue

    Our old 6290 has developed an odd characteristic of hunting around a bit on the revs. If anybody just jumped on it they would say there's nothing wrong with it, but it is something that I've noticed and is getting gradually worse. If you Rev it from tickover to say 1800rpm , it will Rev to 2000...

    Sf1 disappointment

    I've been quite disappointed with the performance of sf1 on a new JD, it loses signal if you go under or near the smallest of trees and takes 2-4 minutes to find signal again. Also the satellite drift seems quite severe. Mowing with 2x 3m mowers and you need to keep shifting your line to keep it...

    Quantron E speed from Topcon System 110

    I need to get a speed signal from a Topcon 110 for a Kuhn 40.1w spinner with Quantron E box. Is this possible? At the moment the Quantron has a 7 pin socket to plug straight into a tractor, but ours don't have a radar thus no plug.

    Defender with rotten chassis- repair, replace or flog?

    Good evening all, My 2000 Defender TD5 has just failed miserably its MOT, the chassis is in a very poor state. It has been patched a few times before but there are gaping holes in the side rails now. What would you do? A very professional local bodyshop has said they can shotblast, repair...
