    DB1210 or International 784?

    Need to choose between these two. Both come with loader. Will be for mucking out and moving bales on a smallholding. The DB is in better nick in almost every way, but has a problem with low gear.

    I'm struggling to find flexothane (or other waterproof) bib and brace in teen sizes for my kids. I'm looking in the 12-16 age range. Up to 11 yrs old are widely available, but after that seems to jump to small adult size - which is a bit too big. Anyone got any recommendations?

    Energiser's stopped working due I think to water ingress - it was sitting in a plastic box which rain had managed to get into, so device (Gallagher B75) was sitting in a small amount of water. No obvious way to get into it to check fuse, circuit board etc - anyone got any ideas? Thanks
