    Fuel efficiency tests?

    Has anyone (or any magazine) done any (kind of) fuel efficiency tests on different tractors? Claas dealer claims that the 6 pot Arions are very frugal, i think that Case has one of the best efficiencies in 4 pots. If one was to buy a tractor i think that efficiency is one of the things that...

    So, the McHale Fusion 4...

    Great piece of kit, but wtf is wrong with the price. 135k€ vat0, 167400k€ incl. Vat24%. We're not the smallest farm, neither are we the biggest (just barely on the list of 1000 biggest farms in Finland) and there's no way we'd be able to justify or even afford to buy one now. Just general...

    He-Va Multiseeder problem

    As the title says, we're having trouble with our Multiseeder unit. The rollers that feed the seeds won't stop spinning even when the switch is turned to off position in the tractor cab. I'd say that there are two possible causes, either the switch is broken or someones tampered with the...

    GRI Tires, user experiences, opinions?

    GRI Tires have started to pop up in here, they're advertised to have good grip even on snow/ice. Maybe a bit of a needle in a haystack situation on winter grip experiences though. Very keenly priced, a set of 540/65-28 and 650/65-38 list priced at 5400€ incl. Vat. Probably can knock a few...

    JD 6430 Premium Ap, what to look out for?

    There's a 2011 6430 (Premium) Autopower on sale at decent price. 50km/h, frontloader etc. 2600h from first owner. Anything in particular to look out for? Iirc there isn't head gasket problems with the 4 pot ones. It'd serve as our third tractor, so should be doing something like 400-600...

    Buying a tractor, or buying a dealer?

    I've always found this quite interesting. We've always bought the best deal knowing that all the dealers are good. But now i've come to the conclusion that the dealer has quite a large role on tractor sales. How i came into this conclusion? As you may or may not know, Claas is quite new to our...

    Dealer having a laugh

    So, i went to the MF dealers depot, our old salesman has given up on selling tractors and is now selling implements only, so a new salesman sits behind the desk. I offered our 2018 Case Maxxum 135 Cvx with 3200 hours for trade-in for a MF 6718 Dyna-Vt Exclusive. Cost to change came to 75k€ inc...

    JD 6X30 series beacon wiring?

    Due to the new laws we need to install one of these flashy boys to our Deere since it's over 3 meters wide. And now i'm wondering is there a pre wiring for a beacon somewhere under rhe roof plastics? It would make life a tad easier.

    New plough body for Kuhn MultiMaster

    As the title says, we're looking for one extra plough body to make our Kuhn MultiMaster 122 bigger. It now has 4 bodies, so looking for fifth. A new one costs 5k€, so finding a second hand set is preferrable. No luck in finding it from Finland. Any suggestions? Our plough has hydraulic safety...

    So, we bought a new quad.

    As the title says. Our 2014 Polaris Sportsman 570 was a sorry excuse of a quad. On wednesday we went to pick it up from the repair shop (as usual), drove it in our van and just jokingly asked how much would it cost us to change to Can-am Outlander 570 Pro+. We got the price, talked about it...

    Lowloader for tractor.

    So we're looking for a lowloader, two or three axles, that has a net load of atleast 15 tons. Sprung boom is a must, enough anchor points for ratchet straps etc. It will be used to move our 13,5 ton excavator, bales, fertilizer, baler and so on. Is Palmse good, or should we be looking for...

    Camera(s) for Case Maxxum

    As per title, i would like to put cameras on our Maxxum (frontloader, maybe pu hitch, some implements like McHale) to make working and reversing a bit easier. "Official" Case Ih camera with connector wires costs 600€ from dealer (and i think for that money you can get 4 quality "non official"...

    McHale Fusion 2 wrapping sensor location?

    As per title, where is the wrapping (film breakage) sensor located. Damn unreliable, has done only 16k bales and already went bust. I've never had the honor to swap any sensors, since they've never broken before.

    Mf 5700 SL

    Anyone have any experience on these, mainly on 5713 Sl. Looking to replace our trusty 5610 to a new one and since the acreage has gone up we're looking to go a bit larger. Can it run McHale Fusion 2 if for some reason our main baling tractor breaks down? Or should we go for 6713? We really like...

    Massey Ferguson 77XX vs. 76XX

    So, i know there are a lot of people who have run both of the tractor series mentioned on the threads name. We're looking in to test driving and maybe even buying a 7726 DynaVt, if it suits us. I'm interested on the improvements over the older 76 series, i know that 77 has a completely new front...

    JD 6630 Pto not engaging

    As the title says; the piece of sh!t Deere is having problems again. When i turn the pto start switch/wheel thingy, nothing happens. The pto light appears every now and then, but it won't engage. Have checked the wiring, no loose wires and we don't have mice to gnaw on our wires. Dealer's...

    So we put our tractors to dyno today...

    And got some figures. Jd 6630 Standart; 100hp on pto. After remap; 157hp on pto. MF 5610; 85hp on pto. No remap. Neighbors Valtra N143; 118hp on pto. After remap; 171hp on pto. Then there was an old 110-90 Fiat; 150hp on pto. Valtra was a big suprise, as was the Deere. Valtra is supposed...

    Fitting new tyres and wheels to a 6630?

    So we're going to put bigger tyres to our 6630 and we were wondering if 42" rear wheels would fit? Has anyone got any experience? It seems as it might fit, but might be a close one. Opinions? If they won't fit, we will go for 710/70-38. Will call the dealer tuesday, since no dealership is open...

    More spool valves to a 6630

    So we're having a bit of a problem. Our 6630 has three pairs of spools and we need a 4th pair. The problem is that we have Power Beyond valves at the spot where the 4th pair should go. Dealer said that they won't add more valves, since there's no room for them. I call bullsh!t on that, why can't...

    Compaction rollers?

    We're in need of a new compaction roller, and we're struggling to decide which one to buy. The roller would be from 6 to 7,5 meters wide, and not Väderstad (the things cost twice as much as He-Va for example, there was one used from 1987, and it still cost over 10k€). We've been looking at...
