Evening all, The blower motor in our 290 (sankey cab) hasn't worked for a long while and given the recent cold weather some heating would be nice! Dad took it to the local MF dealer who quickly dismissed it as obsolete:rolleyes: anyway I've found a few options on eBay and Malpas etc but not...

Evening all, We are currently looking for a close coupled 3m cultivator toolbar to put ahead of our short disc or power harrow to work in a bit deeper in one pass, not subsoiler depth, probably 8 inches or so. we've looked at a pro forge stoka pro, grange close coupled toolbar and an Alpego...

We are currently looking to replace our matbro TS270 (2.7t 5.5m) and it will probably be a JCB, either new or up to 3000 hours second hand. I think we need to be going slightly bigger capacity than we've had, for future proofing and the overload lockouts etc on new machines. I don't think you...

Evening all, We're currently looking to apply for the mid tier stewardship arable offer to start next January. We've not done any ELS/CSS etc before so complete novices at this, I was just wondering what to go for out of the AB1 nectar flower mix or AB8 flower rich margins? I know the payment...

Evening all, we've got a Massey 290 with a dealer fitted TB turbo, had the tractor since new. Its due for a service but I'm struggling to find the canister type oil filter for the turbo, shown in the photo. Would anyone have a part number for it? Its my own fault really for not keeping/losing...

Hi all, We've got a new Kverneland LD85 200 5 furrow plough, started using it on Friday and we're getting on really well with it, apart from sometimes when soil drops off the bodies as you turn it over, it falls onto the extended swing in ram and is then squeezed between the cylinder and the...

Hi all, just looking for any views on Kverneland 150b ploughs, we are looking to replace our old ld85-160 and go from 4 to 5 furrow. Dad looked at an ld85-300 which turned out to be too big and heavy for what we want. He's found a 5 year old 150b which looks reasonable, but would it be too...

The KAB 811 seat in our matbro ts270 is well past its best after 11,000 hours, it squeaks like hell and the suspension is hit and miss, gives me a sore back after sitting in it too long. I thought I should get it fixed before this harvest as I seem to spend the most time bouncing across stubble...

I’m not one to gossip but dad has heard from 2 separate people today that Besson have announced they’re pulling out of the UK, I can’t see anything on their website etc though?

Sorry if this has been covered before and i've missed the thread... We're growing some catch crop this year to meet EFA, behind winter barley (straw is being baled if it makes any difference). The mix is 95% oil radish and 5% black oats We were thinking for establishing it: One pass with the...

Evening all, On the farm we've got a Massey 365 that potters about on odd jobs. It is currently on the 'limited use' tax class but we would like to get it changed back to agricultural tractor/vehicle to go a bit further afield with it now and again. Apparently it was originally taxed as...

Hi all, I’m looking for some suggestions on the best type of security barrier/gate for the farm yard entrance. Grandad (85) lives in the farmhouse by himself and isn’t good on his legs nowadays. As the winter has set in he’s become more worried about unknown cars and vans driving in and out of...
