Our Claas Liner 330s is currently in a million bits for new bearings and repairs to the pinion shaft. Has anyone got any tips for shimming the crownwheel to the pinion? Is it just a case of trial and error, rebuilding and pulling apart again until the correct number of shims are in the correct...

Anybody got any experiences good or bad with Claas 8ft trailed, 2 drum mower conditioners? They're not a popular machine but is that because they're best avoided, because nobody wants 8ft mowers or because drums aren't as fashionable as discs?

Always wanted a tedder with Lely hook tines and a Claas curtain to keep the grass out of the hedge? Well now all your dreams have come true! No mention of it on their website or their social media yet.

Given the nature of this general election could this polling station ever be described as a neutral environment?

I'm looking at Claas' online parts catalogue but I can only see the parts diagram, there doesn't seem to be a parts list. Am I missing something or is the list of part numbers only available to their dealers?

Sarah Wollaston who was elected as a Conservative MP, spent a while as an MP in the group formally known as Change UK has now decided that the only hope she has of staying an MP at the next general election is as a Lib Dem. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-49353240 If she or any of the...

Ordered a new 14ft long, 9 ton dropside tipping trailer today and been given the option of sprung or bogie axles. Not getting a sprung drawbar and was going for sprung axles but the trailer manufacturer says bogie axles are better on that size of trailer. The trailer will only have basic sides...

Can anyone recommend a supplier for complete wheels with bearings for rakes and tedders? Haven't priced main dealer yet but Mr Claas isn't usually cheap. Think they're 15/6.00x6 but as you can see both the tyres and the rims have seen better days. At the moment I need 3 of them but that number...

So after borrowing a PZ CM165 to mow a few acres I'm thinking about investing a small mower, but would like something a bit wider than 5' 6". I've found what looks like a tidy Deutz Fahr KM24 with conditioner for sale but I'm wondering why these weren't more popular. No shortage of KM22s, we had...

What do you use to create a level seedbed after ploughing? By level I mean drive across it in top gear level because it will be in grass for at least 10 years. The field I sowed yesterday had hours of work with a power harrow, rollers with shatter boards, chain harrows and pin harrows and it's...

I need to convert the independent rotor lift on a rake from manual (hydraulic pipes in cab with a lever operated valve) to electric control. Am I right in thinking I need a 3 position solenoid valve like this...

Has anyone tried spreading lime with a fertispread like this? I know it wouldn't be fast but I'd probably only be spreading around 5 or 6 tons a year.

Does anyone run front and rear mounted mowers on a Fastrac? Thinking of trying it with a 3185.

Been looking for a 8 to 10 ton tandem axle dropside trailer and found an advert for this MCM trailer. There looks to be a bigger than normal gap between the wheels, anyone know why? I can't think of any advantages of this over a more normal axle spacing.

Is there an easy way to tell a standard lotus tine from a lotus combi tine? I know that genuine tines are different colours, but what about aftermarket tines? Our 'new' lotus 460 has some tines catching the ground and others are missing the grass so I'm thinking either some of the tines are...

For the past 20 odd years we've had a cat to keep vermin at bay and until the current cat arrived we haven't had any problems with cats damaging bales. However the current cat is clawing at the bales and jumping up them and putting its claws through the wrap, even managing to go through 8 layers...

Is Iskra/Letricka/Mahle still the best choice for alternators and starters or are there any other makes worth looking at? I know there are cheaper options about but I hate jump leads and dim lights.

Does anyone plough in the classic reversible class? It's just about nonexistent here in Northern Ireland but now that it has been added to the European and being a fan of a challenge and something different I'm thinking about giving it a go. Are the age limits on tractors and ploughs the same as...

Yields have been falling on our 0.1 acres of long term arable land (the vegetable patch) so we've decided to give it a rest for a few years, but what is the best thing to do with it? Dad wants to sow grass seed and keep it neat and tidy with a mulching mower so that the grass clippings rot down...
