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...

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?

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?

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...

Case 585 has pas but heavy steering, hydraulics seem fine, plenty of oil, anything common fail on these?

So after having looked at a few neglected sh!t heaps and having got 17 years service from a td5 Disco, I’ve priced up a basic new Hilux. After discounts it comes around £21k which I thought was cheap, which if I get 20 years service is even better. Are these trucks the most durable on the...

Been looking at Landcruisers to replace a TD5 Disco who’s chassis is having to be welded up again. Swayed towards a 100 series 4.2 diesel owing to its higher 3.5 ton towing capacity, are these a good buy and is there anything to be careful of, mindful these are now approaching 20 years old?

As above, been a long winter glad to be making silage as we’re almost completely out after last years dry summer in Hampshire, anybody else on it?

So two youngish bulls here are getting a bit worn out, I give the lads extra cake but they’re not exactly on it! Vet says there’s no such thing as viagra for cattle, but just did a google search and it appears that the Mexicans have such a product as a chap took some for a hot date with a 30...

Our little scrapper tractor struggles to lift the scrapper when cold, if I rev the tits off her she’ll just about do it! If I run her up the road, she’s fine, thinking blocked filter, has 10/40w engine oil, last changed about 2 years ago??

May sound like a bit of a strange one, but our JD6430 which we bought second hand seems to have the wrong fuel filters, the secondary one turns out from cross referencing on the net is a 30 micron filter when it should be a 2 micron one, and is the primary one off of a 6930! The six cylinders...

Hoping someone can help on this one. Not having hired in a bull before what should it cost? Need two for around six weeks to assist our bull seeing to 130 sucklers.

Updating an RB209 here, section 3, P18 states if Mg is an indices 0 or 1 to top up with 50-100 kg/Ha MgO, referring back to p17 of section 2 it does not give the availability in FYM like it does p and k, does anybody know a commonly accepted/agreed percentage figure?

Taking over more of the cattle management from my mother who can't keep up with the number of calves being born these days! I've got around 130 sucklers and want to record age, calvings etc and then compute on and off records. I've started by logging into BCMS for the first time, downloading...

Our 11,000 hr JD 6430 has developed a very snappy shuttle to the point that you have to use the clutch to save your neck and the clutch is very juddery . I had the dealer do a transmission calibration which did help the splitters and the shuttle a little, but still not happy with it. Any thoughts?

Our old 6420, now approaching 18k hrs is starting to feel seriously worn in the transmission, when going between splitters getting a noticeable knock/bang and when braking, which I think is the 4wd as when we’ve taken off the front prop for baling in heavy crop it doesn’t do it. Are there any...

Need brake shoes and replacement actuation rams for a 14 ton grain trailer here. Any recommendations for a source?

Going to replace an old ifor livestock trailer floor that is u/s, common practice seems to be to use ply/board and then ali check plate on top. Although I am sure this is cheaper, I was thinking of ditching the board and just having having straight ali check plate say 6mm or 4.5mm thick...

Have JD 6430 Premium with three electric spools, looking to retrofit power beyond to save overheating back end. It looks almost too easy - online it looks as though one simply unbolts a cover and bolt housing AL206034 onto spool block. Has anybody done this before?
