I was driving my friends MF 6716s yesterday going from one job to another with the baler, I pulled off from a road junction and it got stuck in 3E I had to drive half a mile to the farm at 16.5kmh once I was on the yard I stopped it and re started and it was fine after. I couldn’t change up or...

I have a Kuhn FB 3130 and in general would say it’s an excellent baler. I’m having trouble with changing over the net when it runs out, I know for sure I’m doing something wrong. The main problem is when I put a new net on especially when the last roll ran out before it had fully netted the...

I’m looking at possibly purchasing a direct drill for rejuvenating grassland and will probably do some contract work with it, I was just wondering what the going rate per acre is. Like the roundbaling thread on here I expect there will be significant variations, would be nice to try and get a...

Ok I’m considering changing a tractor and I’d just like the honest opinion of owners or operators of the Valtra N Series specifically the 175. How robust and reliable is the gearbox? What’s the fuel economy like compared to previous tractors you’ve owned? What problems have you encountered if...

I've been round baling with my friends MF6716s today and I can't work out how to get a slower reverse gear than forwards on the shuttle as I don't like the strain it puts on the clutch packs when reversing uphill. I have a Claas Arion 530 with the same transmission and its really simple to setup...

Today I have been driving an MF 6716s for round baling. I'm not used to MF tractors so please could someone explain how to get slower gears for reversing with a bale. I have a Claas Arion and it is so easy to have the shuttle operating with a higher forward speed than reverse as I hate...

Does anyone know where I can get a replacement mirror or glass for the lower blind spot mirror on an 18 plate Case Puma other than dealer as I’m not passing their way at the moment.

I tried to do a calibration today 1500 rpm hold up shuttle paddle in neutral while pressing 4wd button, temperature came up at 53 degrees tried putting the shuttle in forwards but it was engaging and not going into calibration mode. Was the oil too warm at 53 degrees? I would be grateful if...

I’ve got a 2019 Arion 530 and unlike my Puma in this hot weather which has loads of water draining onto the floor when parked up the Claas doesn’t have a single drop underneath it. Does anyone know where the drain is so I can check if it’s blocked as I don’t want the aircon to fail.

I’m looking for the opinion of anyone owning or operating a Kuhn FB3100 as I’m looking to possibly change from Claas. Mchale is out of the question as they still haven’t developed an easy system to load net. I’ve driven several different Mchale balers and apart from loading the net I can’t...

I currently own and run a Rollant 374 rc which has been almost faultless so far. I‘m looking for views and thoughts off anyone who owns or who has driven the new 540rc. I’m well aware that Mchale is probably the best round baler and I have driven several Mchale balers from the,F550 to the latest...

I have a Claas Rollant 374rc which so far has been fairly trouble free apart from the bill hook(not sure if that's the right word) sticking up and not resetting when the tailgate is opened. I've tried adjusting the Allen screw on the actuator in a bit tighter for more pressure but it still...

I’m looking into the possibility of converting my 15hp Hyundai generator to dual fuel. I’ve found lots of kits online for Honda engines but nothing for Hyundai power products, does anyone have any recommendations for suppliers of lpg conversion kits. I’ve already tried the supplier in Pembroke...

Quick question has anyone had problems with a blackbox air having a major hissy fit. After driving round a field with the sprayer the field shape completely changed and I had to re plot the field by driving around again after restarting the unit.

I’m looking for some bits for the cutterbar on my Senator 70 (knife section, ledger plates etc) I haven’t had any luck with Kramp Spaldings or Pan Anglia is there anyone I’m missing out apart from genuine Claas

Does anyone on here run a Claas 374? How long should the chamber stay pressurised before the needle on the gauge starts falling back? I've had a 254 and a 354 and thought the gauge didn't drop so quick. I usually re pressureise the chamber a few times during each bale especially in light crops...

Following on from my earlier post on the Claas Senator 70 cutterbar would anyone have a parts book for this machine and be able to give me parts numbers for the following items or pm me a screenshot of the relevant pages of the parts book. At the moment my local Claas dealer is only offering a...

I'm looking for advice on sorting out the way the cutterbar performs on my Senator 70 First question do knife sections have to be riveted or can they be bolted. Riveting isn't a problem was just wondering? Second question do I need to replace all of the fingers or can the small knife sections on...
