Hi - I'm looking for some advice. We have several fields that through neglect have built up dense rushes over the last 15-20 years. A couple were drained in the 1980's / 90's, one was not although does not seem overly wet. Soil PH around 5.6-5.8. P&K fine. Some although not all of the land may...

Am today using a Case 4230 with a high - low splitter in each gear on a slurry tanker. I haven't driven this much before and then only with something light on the back (eg bale wrapper). Was surprised to discover (fortunately on a mild and short slope) that there appears to be no engine breaking...

Hi - sorry but yet another tyre question . seen a lot of the conversion charts but; to replace an 18.4x38 rear tyre on a 15x38 rim, would any of 460x85%x38 or 480x80%x38 or 520%x70%x38 be the ones to go for? many thanks in advance!

Hi Could anybody suggest whether a Case 4230 with a 40-70 Chilton loader would be able to lift a 1.3 ton mower from a flat bed trailer - or if it is likely to struggle / break something? Thanks for any advice

Hi Have a Deutz Agrostar 6.11 bought a couple of years ago. Would anybody have an idea which brake fluid to use? Asked a dealer earlier (who didn't deal with that generation of tractors originally) and they thought possibly the brake fluid was linked to the transmission oil? Any advice much...

Hi Please could somebody remind me how much lime per acre / hectare to apply to bring pastures back to an 'optimal' ph? We have some land at 5.7. I seem to recall that 2 tons / acre would raise the Ph by 0.5, but that if I need more (e.g. ph 5.7 trying to rain to 6.5) I should wait a couple of...

Possibly viewing a Case IH 785 that is for sale. Apparently some difficulty getting into 1 gear (1-4 not high to low). Assuming no obvious grinding noise etc- how would I assess whether it it a linkage issue ( i have read several on this forum) or something more serious inside the gearbox?Also...

Would anybody have an idea who may supply cab parts for an International 955 / 1055 with a Timmerman cab (late 70's to about 1981)? Also looking to retrofit a PUH - is this possible and does anyone supply these? Thanks

Just had a look at a Case 956. All seemed fine and well looked after, other than in wanting to jump out of reverse range if I didn't hold the lever back whilst moving. All ranges (including forward low and high) took a bit of effort to get in. Any thoughts as to the issue, and effort / cost to...

I've been made aware of a 1980's 4wd tractor, decent spec, for sale that has been stood idle for two years. Havent viewed yet. Any advice / insights into potential expenses, major repairs that may be likely required, things to do / not do - would all be gratefully received. Thanks

Hi I am thinking about buying something to occasionally use on my Dad's farm as a 'hobby' (ie what i would have liked when i was 10 years old). Considering IH 55/56 series or (or maybe 'and') MF 2000 series (cheap hp for the money?) or possibly even JD 50 (30-3650). I could buy several so not...
