    JD 6430p injectors

    Thanks - local diesel injector specialist says they can possibly redo the tips and test, but they're Bosch. Guess new is best then - be good for another 8-10 years then.

    JD 6430p injectors

    Just wondering what people's thoughts are on this: when running around the yard on light duties occasionally tractor loses an injector. Restarting and a rev usually works, no probs on road work or heavy work. EGR has been deleted and remapped. Run injector cleaner regularly and use standard...

    JD 6420 TLS Panhard

    Hoping somebody's encountered this before. Panhard rod is stuffed, bearings are sold separately I see, are these a press in job, or is it advisable to replace the complete rod?

    Finance rates

    Helpful- that must have been secured against the farm though?

    Finance rates

    Not having ever borrowed money for our farm, what sort of interest rates are people being offered either secured against an additional farm or unsecured presumably for machinery as an alternative to HP? Am I write in saying that only the interest is offsetable against profit?

    Deutz engine valve clearances vibration

    Yeap that's what I said to myself! I would usually have done it myself, so maintain its value thought I'd have it serviced "properly", anyway spoke to dealer apparently valve clearance adjustment wouldn't cause shaking and I'm expecting too much for an 8,000 hr odd machine - usually they're...

    Deutz engine valve clearances vibration

    So after our Fendt (Deutz engine) 400 series had a major 2000 hr service we have noticeably worse cold start vibrations now, less noticeable once warm on tick over, seems to smooth out off idle but still not right. Valve clearances were adjusted and all oils changed. Anybody come across this...

    TAFE tractors

    Think mine may have arrived in a container, global shipping is surprisingly cheap, does go to show you how expensive tractors are in the west. Just renewing the pump after 14 years of abuse here, genuine AGCO one £960 or 1/5 of what I paid for the tractor, how does that work? Sparex one for a...

    TAFE tractors

    Interestingly the price of a basic 240 with dry brakes out of the gates of Millat Pakistan is £5,600, so by the time it reaches Europe it’s over doubled in price. Accepting these TAFEs have to be imported and a fancy Bosch pump fitted over the standard Delphi it’s still a fair jump, but they’re...

    Cost of round bailing

    NACC is £8.31 plus vat per bale with 6 layers of wrap. I never know what to charge my customers without referring to this, the gears so expensive to buy and then on the other there never seems to be much in it when you sell cows at the market.

    John Deere 6420S

    I read this with trepidation having a 6420s with approaching 19,000 hrs. I will say the loom on ours is getting pretty brittle in places and I’ve got to get the cab suspension sorted, not our no1 tractor anymore but just racked up another 50 hrs over last week carting silage. Found two breaks...
