    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...

    The Kuhn Aero is making a comeback

    I have just seen Rauch is about to relaunch the mounted boom spreader in widths of 18-30m. As well as a larger tank the new version has been updated with isobus and six variable rate sections. The booms look like they fold up a lot more easily as well. With the way fertiliser price’s are going...

    Trimble correction upgrade

    I have been running rangepoint for the last 5 years and have found it to be very good for the work I do. The only issues I have with it are a lot of fields I work in are next to woods with tall overhanging trees, that cause signal loss on the headlands which makes boundary mapping very...

    Mike from Erentec is retiring.

    I know he has been talking about it for a long time but he has now posted on his website that he is retiring and Erentec will cease trading. I'm sure I'm not the only one that will miss his help, advice and kits to fit all things pneumatic to the world of agricultural machinery. I would like to...

    3in1 additive tank

    I thought I might post a couple of photos of my last workshop project. A 3in1 additive tank for baling and wrapping. I have a separate baler and wrapper and I often bale and then wrap if everyone else is busy. So this new frame houses the tank, Selmec pump, wrap holding tubes and then has fold...

    Setting suspension accumulator pressures for the perfect ride.

    *Whilst this post is based around the CNH Terraglide 1 system the principle is the same for all hydraulic suspensions and the discussion is open for various machines.* I have heard from many people that the latest Terraglide on the newer 4B tractors works very well but I think its fair to say...

    Air Suspension upgrade for New Holland tractors.

    I have always found the ride in my T6.160 to be very comfortable. However I also like an engineering project from time to time and having experienced air suspension on a new Fendt it got my mind working to see if it is possible to retrofit air suspension to a New Holland cab? The answer is yes...
