I’ve recently purchased a lely 300, believe it or not it was actually to replace my lely 600 but change of circumstances meant I didn’t need as big as my 600. Question is, when using the 300 do you leave the locking pin out on the headstock or do you just remove pin, push across into the...

Bought this few days ago, something a bit different for me as I like blue tractors but I’ve lately thought that smaller fords ie 2000, 3000, 4000 etc have just got way over priced. One thing I’ve learnt when refurbishing a tractor is you need to buy it as cheap as you can as by the time you’re...

does anyone here have a jxu 105 or 110? Is there a 115 which is 6 cylinder? I’m thinking of making a purchase, just wondering what the good points and bad points are, ideally I’d like one with manual box, do these come with electronic shuttle? Any information appreciated.

I'm currently looking for a new Holland 7740, sle, sldp or sl. Must be in very good original condition and preferably with modest hours. I'm happy to pay a good price for a good tractor. Also wanted, mf 3075 must be in mint condition, original with modest hours. Thanks

Lamb born this morning with big long navel all balled up like a ball of knitting wool. Should I cut it off or let it be and let nature take its course. I sprayed it with iodine to try prevent infection.

a friend has a 250 McCormick international which he intends to use for road runs but in comparison to his 275 he finds her top road speed quite slow, is there anything that can be done apart from changing the wheels to make her faster? He wants to try to keep the tractor looking as original as...

I have a ford 6410 4wd with 13.6x38 tyres on back with 12.4x24 on front, tractor came off a vegetable farm hence the narrow tyres. So I bought a set of 16.9x34 rims and tyres but what tyres do I need on front? I though 13.6x24 but just after speaking to tyre supplier and he says they should stay...

I put in some spring wheat this year, not under sowed or anything, I've sprayed it for weeds and it seems quite healthy, fair bit of grass through it but my intention was to round bale it and sell it, was thinking of trying a few bales on my ewes on the lead up to lambing, to reduce meal costs...

Wanted, mf 3065, 3075, 2wd or 4wd, must be in good condition. Would also consider 3060 or 3070 16 speed. Price must reflect on condition.

I'm currently looking for a new Holland 7740, preferably an sl or an sldp. Must be immaculate with low hours, would even consider an sle. I'm also after a 3075, would also have to be original, immaculate and with low hours. I know these tractors are getting hard to find in this condition so...

I've always had a notion of a 3000 series, I've a 135, 398 and a new Holland ts115, I like my 115 but she's prob worth fair money at the minute and for all I'm doing a 3085 or 3095 would do my job just as well at less money, I'd like a real clean example and don't mind paying a bit extra for it...

good day all, Been feeding round bale hay to my sheep outdoors and cattle indoors for about 3/4 weeks now, times after I handled hay I felt a bit of an itch but I put it down to dust etc but then after feeling the same effects yesterday I examined the hay thoroughly, I saw 2 mites inspecting the...

Recently a couple of older combines have came up for sale in my area, a Massey Ferguson 415 and a clas 25 compact. Both supposedly working perfect, the Massey is £1500 and the clas is £3000 although the clas does look much fresher but then it is 10 years fresher. I've always fancied an older...

Thought this would make for an interesting discussion. For me my worst ever so far has to be a 1690 David brown, have to drive the neighbours from time to time, if I'd the option I'd sooner revert back to the heavy horse, I wouldn't feel anymore tired! 3 wheel drive, 3 speed gearbox, granted...

I'm on the hunt for a square baler, I've found two possibles that might do my job, a 440 and a nh 376, the ih 440 is £600 with a donor baler for parts and the nh 376 is £1500, both owners assure me their balers are working perfectly. I would be inclined to go for the 376 as I'm told there easier...

My nh ts 115 has recently started to emit blue smoke from time to time, seems to do it when going down hill, when the pull is off the engine, it's most likely unburnt fuel, where do I start but, test injectors, have pump checked or could it be something else, has anyone ever came across this before?

I've recently expanded my beef cattle herd and am thinking I'm not going to have the housing to winter them all, there are a few empty slatted houses close to my farm and I was wondering what sort of money I should be paying? Do you pay per head per week or month etc or do you just pay a set...

Hi all, Thinking of purchasing an Areator, I run a flock of sheep over around 90 acres and I've recently noticed a moss growing through the pasture, also the top 3 inches or so is like walking on a sponge, I know the sheep has compacted the land and rather than getting the contractor in with a...
