I'm trying to register the Steiger puma sold in the late Peter Ingle's farm sale , it was bought knowing as stated there was no paperwork and under the circumstances I don't want to be hassling the family but does anyone down there have any idea when he might have bought it in? I only remember...

Thinking of replacing old Volvo shovel and Merlo loader with something like 320 jcb, Manitou 533 or similar, some have limited slip diff, some self- locking and Wiedermann ( possibly JCB?) have proper diff lock, how do people get on with either? I have had a Kramer 55kl on demo, a little sticky...

I have a log boiler which I am tempted to replace, no rhi. I note people rating linseed straw to burn, does anyone have experience of baling smaller round bales of the stuff? Richard.

Not meaning to start a " best skid steer" thread, we run a 2.5t counterbalance forklift, merlo telescopic and old Volvo loading shovel. None really do enough to justify having new/ near new machines. The forklift suffers from being run about over too many lumps and bumps when it's only proper...

Hello, not sure where else to post this, we have 250 of these2m tubes in our seed potato store, they were all new four years ago. They are doubled up on bought in for the purpose fittings and work well, they are put to one side of the shed when we empty it with crates stacked in front so have a...

Anyone out there got any Hanomag 44c or 55d ops/workshop/ parts books? I know they can be downloaded but a decent book in front of you is so much better than heaps of random pages. Thanks, Richard.

Anyone care to comment on disc-roller compared to Vaderstad Carrier please? We need something "a bit more than a rake" for nearly no-till as well as levelling and chopping up cover crops etc on land we cultivate. I have a short disc at the moment but the concave discs move too much soil...

Hi, looking at trying to replace our 12m twose rolls and 6.6m simba unipress rubber roll/rake with a single machine. Now we no longer roll cultivated land the twose hardly gets used and the unipress/rake is too narrow for rolling after drilling for slot closure. I looked at an 8m Dal-bo the...

Hello, I bought a shear as above a couple of years ago for our 7 tonner, it was sold as being good for up to 8" depending on pressure and of course material it was working with. It never really performed as we hoped and I always end up with a man with a saw in attendance as well. I meant to get...

Hello, I bought a very old (and light) shaper on ebay a few days ago north east of Manchester knowing I had a trip that way lined up. My job has fallen through and I very badly could do with someone picking it up (already dismantled) and getting it somewhere I can get a courier to collect from...

Anyone on here near enough to collect a little lathe from here (in pieces, ready to lift into pick-up or similar) and get it somewhere I can arrange a courier to collect from? Obviously happy to pay proper rate to get it safe. Thanks, Richard. I am in Ipswich in case anyone has a cunning plan to...

Have part complete little dragline to shift , 5 tons, 2.4mx3m, plus bucket. They can load. Richard. 07970 072940

I borrowed this from the U.S .Smokstak forum, I thought it was a particularly good Land Army picture....maybe someone clever here has an idea where it is? Richard.

Just as a curiosity, any ideas why our two year old combine is wearing the paint one side more than the other? It is a hillmaster but watching it there is nothing to suggest it is biased one way, surely it would need to be obviously off level to make such a difference?

We have used stirrers in 120t bins with a constant humidity burner for 20 years and a few years ago I put a couple of 300t bins up with stirrers. For some reason their drying seems to be a lot less predictable in the bigger bins, despite the variables being relatively similar. We seldom cut...

lathe is 2m square, 4.5tonnes, radial drill less than a tonne. loading available on/off. Richard. 07970 072940

We have a 3/4m3 pto drive tub mixer which has done plenty of jobs here over the last 10 years or so, it's not always so convenient to find a tractor to put it on for an odd mix and I was wondering about changing it for a hydraulic drive machine? It would be handy to be able to put it on the...
