    Kubota rtv transmission issues

    Feeling pretty pieved - RTV x1110, just over 3 years old, came to a stop the other day. Dealer says transmission issue and anything from £5 - 8k to fix, likely £6 -7k. 4 day job apparently. Not impressed. Went for Kubota on premise they're heavier built to stick up to heavy use. Won't be...

    CS capital grants.

    Few questions, which may have been covered elsewhere, so apologies I'd so. A quick search didn't yield anything. What's the timescale involved from applying to approval? Will I get anything approved in time for this season's hedging work? Ie: in time to get some done before March 31st. Can...

    Dividing wall above concrete panels

    Looking to subdivide a shed - workshop and feed store. Using concrete panels at ground level. What's most cost effective long term solution for above that? Osb? Will it take the damp and deteriorate over time? It's not structural or load bearing at all, just need to keep dust and vermin out.

    Oil pressure release jcb handler

    I have bought a 2011 531-70 agri super (sorry @ACEngineering !), but there's no handbook. I have down loaded 1 I found online, but still cannot find the way to release auxiliary oil pressure to disconnect the grab pipes. Operating controls with ignition on doesn't seem to work. I understand...

    Drill shear attachment

    Anyone tried these. Look to good to be true for the money. Maybe OK for occasional use?

    37000 pollution spills in SW England

    No, not farmers. South West water. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-devon-65129182.amp That was less than the previous year. Not because they are cleaning up their act. Simply because of the lower rainfall. And that's their self declared incidents. I wondered how that compared to farm...

    Munro mk1

    Was gonna post this in the electric vehicle threads, but figured it deserves a thread of its own. Utility vehicle with 1T payload, 3.5T tow capacity. Galvanised chassis, aluminium bodywork, pressure washable interior, built to last - so they say. No doubt range will still be an issue for...

    LIS site down?

    Or is it just me? Had this yesterday and this morning when I went to log in. Don't think I've used it since I first signed up so don't know if common problem or even if I've done something wrong.

    Post hole borer

    Is a 3 point linkage post hole borer any good in stoney ground? Or am I better off hiring in a mini digger and auger? Got some post and rail to do and chance to buy a 3 point linkage auger at auction (if its cheap enough). Thinking I might get the auger for similar to hire price. But are they...

    Graham Edwards power deck.

    Rather than pollute Neil's Gamic thread, thought I'd better start a new one. Anyone got / had the power deck on the G Edwards livestock trailer? Early ones were a bit slow, but I understand they doubled the speed? Any comments good or bad? Not looking for "buy a gamic" comments for various...

    Laying hens and bird scarer

    Daughter's laying hens have gone off their lay and we think it's down to neighbour's bird scarer going off just up the valley. Every time it goes off they freeze. Had 1 day with zero eggs this week, from 100 hens.🙁 Anyone else had this trouble? Better to talk nicely to the neighbour or will...

    Scunthorpe area

    Looking for a fridge van, which is proving a difficult find in itself. Potential van in Scunthorpe area which is hell of a long way to go and look if it turns out to be no good. Not sure on feasibility of this but any recommendations for an independent mechanic in the area to pay to check it...

    Beaurocratic nonsense.

    Following the dreaded FABBL inspection, it seems my only crime was to have allowed my animal transporter authorisation to slip out of date. Now this piece of paper in itself I have previously described as a "certificate to say you have a certificate". The latter being the Certificate of welfare...

    Adam Henson and almonds

    Henson speaking some sense about the environmental cost of vegan alternatives. https://www.independent.co.uk/climate-change/sustainable-living/climate-adam-henson-almond-milk-avocados-b1883106.html Apologies if its been posted elsewhere, surprised I hadn't seen it brought up.

    Panel and inverter quality price differences.

    Are the "premium" brands worth the extra? Plenty offering 4kw panel array for £4-4.5k. Had a quote for nearer £6k to include inverter (solar edge) with up to 20 year warranty and panels (JA) with 12 year product and 25 year linear output warranty. Will I see that back in better output, or is it...

    Something different in the pick up line

    Not sure what I think about the looks🤔 Like the versatility though. Guess the price will mean it won't be my worry, if it ever does come over here 1 day.
