Well pottinger don’t have the strength in the right place so, the beds don’t last as long as other brands .

I split a bed and when you see the amount of steel in it , you would wonder how it lasted at all.

I’m in Ireland and I booked flights to go to Girona in Spain to look at a machine today , there’s no excuse in not travelling to see it, that’s called laziness around here . And when I hear keys for the door been a major issue I gave up.

I have pottinger , Jd and class mowers , the lighest bed is the pottinger , class and Jd have a far stronger bed and I’ve repaired all three . I won’t buy another pottinger mower. Parts are too expensive for them too.

Hi all, I’m interested in slurry separation and the advantages of it over standard slurry , I know it can be spread more in dry weather in the summer , but is there any research to say which actually grows more grass , or how much fertiliser can separated slurry save over standard slurry . I’m...

I had the same model as yours , it was a pile of scrap , I sold it after a year . Unless you’re spreading water I’d pass on it.

What year is it ,

What type of machine have you , I’m in Ireland and I’m thinking of doing something like yourself

I have a set of Jd triples with conditioners on a Valtra t191 , works away at 8-11 km depending on crop and slope off the ground , we mowed a few times with the Valtra t234 and it ran away with them.

I have both , a 234 active and a 254 versu , we find the active smoother at changing gears , the lads working here prefer the active for road work. Both great tractors and both have been very reliable .

No it’s not , it’s a third full

You need to say where you are , people near you might keep a better eye out.

It’s a new tractor , he needs to phone his dealer.

English .

The differance in fuel use is seemingly huge . Class using far less .

Well I’m only telling the reality of the situation , when a man with 4 deutz says that the worst one he has is the new one and the best deutz he has are the 07 and 08 models and he goes and buys a 10 yr old because he won’t buy another new model , what would you take from that. I know of 3 more...

The new Jd harvestors are getting a poor name around here in the last 2 years , I know a class man who switched to Jd , but after one season he has gone back to class , he says the class is far better and far easier on diesel, there was another issue of the blades coming loose causing major blow...

Yes you have to pay the vat in the uk, but if you find the right tractor you can still save a lot of money, I recently seen a very expensive 4 yr old tractor in an Irish dealers for €100 k plus vat , the same model with the same hours in the uk is from £50_60 k , so don’t rule it out.
