    John Deere 6030 series heater issues

    I have no reason to doubt the waterpump at the moment, the lack of heat issue came with the tractor when we bought it in January this year. Since then it has clocked 5/600hrs of various work without any overheating or excessive temperature on the gauge. Can you elaborate on any codes I need to...

    John Deere 6030 series heater issues

    Got some gremlins in the heater/blower system, 2 main issues. 1st issue no heat. Had a look at the electric heater valve under the seat and seems to be nothing obvious happening when moving the dial between hot and cold, assumed I would hear or feel some kind of movement or noise as the valve...

    Running a grain drier off propane bottles

    Thanks for the replys so far. I can get hold of big 47kg propane bottles from my supplier who sorts me out normally with workshop gasses. It’s a farm fans drier I’m looking at so unsure about the requirement for normal propane or lgp, perhaps someone who has one can advise?

    Running a grain drier off propane bottles

    As the title suggests-I am looking for some advice on running a drier with propane bottles instead of a bulk tank. Looked at a drier the other day having not had the need for one before. One has come up for sale but I don’t think I’ll have time to organise getting a fixed tank installed. Been...

    Alliance tyres unbelievable customer service

    16.9/28 alliance tyres on the rear of my 50ex were both new in 2019. Probably done around 500 hours, 65% of those will have been in and around yards and sheds so mostly on the hard/concrete. Been impressed with their performance out in the fields loading dung and shifting bales too. Would have...

    Main dealers fitters

    As a heavy plant/agricultural mechanic, I appreciate a clean machine/in the shed/on concrete etc etc but the thing I look for most when on a job is to be left alone to get on with the job. I find nothing worse than someone leaning over you trying to watch/assist when they don’t really know what...

    What belts for combine ? OEM, Optibelt, Gates ?

    When I was running an older John Deere combine I was cheaper buying belts from the local dealer. Priced a gates belt from another supplier and they couldn’t come anywhere close to the oem belt cost.

    A very local to me machine being sold by a good friend and neighbour. A well maintained machine that’s had a good home on a small farm. Been replaced with a newer belt baler.

    Opico 12t gas drier value

    Sale was just outside Perth. Was a proper ‘live and in person’ sale. Tempted to say it could have been the first live sale this year in the country for a farm dispersal

    Opico 12t gas drier value

    Yes must admit I was tempted although I know nothing about them and I aim to have my small acreage cut at a sensible moisture so it can be sent on to its final destination the day after its cut. I’ll keep my ear to the ground as it’s new home is only 5 mins drive away roughly.

    Massey 500 series combines

    Had a sheared roll pin on a 525 gearbox once. Think it was the reverse/2nd gear cable/shaft from memory. Simple enough to sort once we found that’s all it was. Heavy hands and keen to get on was the old boys downfall that day
