    Looking for one in the 2 _3k bracket , unheard of make, maybe,Strimech have outpriced themselves, they are over 5k now, considering there paint job on my grain bucket is as thin as fag paper. What are we paying for here, steel has come back. Cherry x around 4k still to much imo.

    Bomford hydraulic pipes

    It it normal for a 4 year old hedge cutter to have holes appear in the oil pipes that drive the head. No contracting just farm use. Had a pipe go in the 1st year which was still in warranty. When you compare it to my tele handler that would do a lot more work and barely had a pipe go in 9000...

    McHale 460 Jack

    Had the machine a few years now, happy with it except when taking off, which is quite frequent at the moment.. I,m sure McHale have fitted the wrong Jack, as it's to big, it won't swing around even when it's on a 165 hp tractor on big wheels. Dealership seemed uninterested when I mentioned it, I...
