    T7.210 crap front suspension

    The first thing is to to have a look at the condition of the current suspension. At that age it could be worn. Accumulators lose gas and burst whereas coil springs sag. When new you should have been able to get two fingers between the bump stops and cab base. Over time the springs sag and this...

    T7.210 crap front suspension

    There are a few different systems on aT7. 210. I make an upgrade kit for the tier 4a tractors which makes the suspension softer and gives more travel. I also have OEM quality accumulators at approximately half price of OEM, as well as air suspension conversions for the cab, depending on how...

    Setting suspension accumulator pressures for the perfect ride.

    If you’re thinking the cab suspension is making the difference then it’s well worth taking the accumulators off and having them pressure tested and recharged. All accumulators lose pressure over time and it is quite common on hydraulic cab suspension to lose its performance over time. Some will...

    Setting suspension accumulator pressures for the perfect ride.

    It should be set harder if carrying heavy loads on the front linkage. To help prolong the lives of the accumulators.

    Setting suspension accumulator pressures for the perfect ride.

    😂 It’s certainly been a journey since the first post! The front suspension kits sell slowly as they only fit tractors up to 2015 model years. However the air suspension is going very well with lots going onto new tractors until the new cab with semi active suspension is available. There was a...

    Setting suspension accumulator pressures for the perfect ride.

    @joseluis97 The accumulators for this model should be 32 bar this is the optimal pressure for this model. I guess if there is more it’s for one of two reasons. Either you are testing the accumulators without removing them from the tractor? This will read the hydraulic pressure in the closed...

    Project 331, Vaderstad restoration and isobus conversion

    Thanks! I didn’t accurately record the hours, it was in bits for the best part of a year and it was just a few hours at weekends here and there. I guessed 10 days for the Farmers Weekly interview but really it would have been how long it takes to undo every nut and bolt, solve a few issues and...

    It’s been a while since my last post on this drill, however I did promise to share the total cost of the rebuild. This week Farmers Weekly have published a write up on it so I thought I had better finish the post off! Isobus kit £2553 (Aug21) Genuine Vaderstad parts £3576 Shot blasting and...

    How does this scam work ?

    It gets more amusing when you look closely, the cheque paper is almost card. Posted two days before the cheque was printed and sent before the ink had dried so had a perfect imprint of the cheque on the inside of the envelope 😂😂😂

    How does this scam work ?

    Thanks Mark. To be fair the email was direct and straight to my junk mail so I had suspicions from the start but gave them the benefit of doubt. I felt I needed to share it as if they keep trying they will one day succeed!

    How does this scam work ?

    So I have a straw shredder for sale in the TFF classifieds and received an email from someone who eventually agreed to buy it for £1500 with collection after I had received the funds via cheque. Which all seemed ok. Today I received a cheque for €5000.00 from a French bank posted from...

    JD 6930 cab suspension

    Should stay charged as long a new one. They are a bit like tyres, may get a puncture maybe not!

    JD 6930 cab suspension

    The easiest way to check the accumulators will be in situ. Remove the dust cap off the charge port take an 8mm Allen key and carefully crack the screw open if some oil comes out you will need a new one, if a hiss of gas comes out then they can be removed and recharged. Accumulators will lose gas...

    Setting suspension accumulator pressures for the perfect ride.

    In an ideal world. Accumulators shouldn’t be put out of there operation ratio but in many situations manufacturers use them like this. I think in your situation putting a gauge on is going clarify what you are doing is correct. You can get them quite cheaply from flow fit on line complete with a...
