Had this happen on my jcb 530 70, twas the timing case. You may see foamy oil on the dipstick.could also be an oil cooler problem

Used a bit of old plough share as it's the same shape. In a moment of madness I ended up welding it to the tail press. See how that goes, should belong in the 'quick fixes, bodges and creations' section really 🫣

I might try a couple of boards then to start with and see what it does. I've welded a cracked board before with ordinary 6013's and got away with it. There's alot of pressure on that part of the board I suppose

What with me being a skin flint and all, has anyone tried extending the life of their plough boards by welding say a long thin plate onto the back of the board edge. Seems a waste just dumping the board as it's the only part on the board that wears

Thanks for telling me this, that's exactly what I was wanting to find out

I'm thinking of adding an extra furrow on to my 4 furrow reversible kverneland plough, it's got a 160 headstock. I've seen an odd 5 furrow one with a 160 headstock but they're the exception, most are 240. Would it be safe enough to do this? Don't want to break the plough. Also what lift capacity...

How much of the spreader do you spray with waxoyl? Is it just inside the body and working parts at the back? What tool do you use to spray on the stuff and does it need heated first to thin it?

I bought a bunning hbd, its supposed to spread dry and wet poultry manure very evenly. Reviews of them seemed good on the farming forum if that's anything to go by

I think used engine oil is corrosive too, won't be as corrosive as chicken poo right enough. I used mixed diesel and oil backed end oil. Plan of attack then: Spray oil on spreader before first load to help stop muck sticking. Washing off after use with slurry tanker hose down kit. Maybe a quick...

I wish our ground was dry enough to dung on top of the ploughing, definitely won't happen here this year. Spreader loaded with dung alone would weigh 11 or 12 ton. My P's & K's are good anyway and we don't plough too deep but yeah it'd be a better job alright

Funny I was thinking getting the tanker with one of those hose down kits, chicken muck is very sticky though right enough, it'd be worth a try. If I spread it all in the one go there's 10 days ploughing and alot of the nitrogen's lost. I was gonna do a days spreading, get dad to plough it down...

I'm trying to avoid the hassle of washing it out at the end of each day, usually takes an hour to power wash properly. I'd be washing it out every other day for a week and I'm a bit strapped for time. Although if it has to be washed out, it'll have to be done

I've recently got a new bunning rear discharge muck spreader. I'm going to be spreading a couple of fields at a time with chicken muck and then ploughing it down so spreading will be stop start. Chicken muck is very acidic....or maybe is it alkaline? Anyway I want to keep the paint and spreader...

In reality I don't really believe that machinery prices will come down in future. They haven't in the past. Greedflation is definitely part of the problem, even though cost of production of equipment has unavoidably risen. Farmers need to price around more which will help reduce machinery...

Also if a salesman can knock 8 grand off a two year old telehandler without even enquiring what does that say about profit margins when setting prices? I always try to sell private and buy private. If a salesmans telling you to sell your own machine, if you've looked after it he's unwittingly...

Alot of new and used machinery is a rip off this last few years, all these machinery dealers are welcome to rocket prices as high as they like it just means they'll sell less and less of it. Prices of old wrecks of used farm equipment are laughable now, New machinery prices read like a telephone...

I'm asking for a friend here but he's got a 6480 tier 3 with perkins that looses drive from time to time. The engine stopped twice last night and dash went out. He's cleaned all the earth's today and checked the plugs at the back of the cab. He said error e158 came up when it was giving...

Hard to find an arcusin these days, over on the continent you'd be likely to find older ones. From older to newest models they could be from 30-60k. Steve at Arcusin uk would be your best bet. With mine I find it takes a good operator to make it run smoothly, I joked with the baler man that I'd...

I've 4 old 28ft bale trailers from the previous set up, can put 336 bales onto each trailer, 10 or 15 minutes loads or unloads each trailer.

Hello Spud, most customers take them from our shed during the winter months, we don't tend to have to deliver them. Since I first opened this thread I've taken the plunge and bought an arcusin. I have to say it was a good investment, any other set up you're still man handling fallen bales...
