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

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...

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...

Hello, I've a mf 6265 with a reoccurring problem where the plastic thermostat housing leaks where it bolts onto the engine. This part fails every 1000 hours or so, gone through about 4 or 5 professional repairs and it's just happened again lately. I've heard you can get an upgraded...

I've a 2000 jcb 530-70 telehandler, it's not got boom suspension but I was wondering if I fitted an accumulator bottle somewhere along the hydraulic pipe that goes to the ram that's lifts the boom will it give them boom suspension? I suppose it'll be a double acting ram too so possibly need two...

Hello, I'm about to change the back end oil on a mf 6265, would it do any harm to empty the old stuff by pumping it out until empty via a spool valve?

Hello. Last year I received layer manure from a layer house, this wasn't a slatted house, I never thought to examine the shed but the layer manure was as dry as could be, it reminded me of the bagged compost you'd get from a garden centre. It was pushed out of the shed with a skidsteer and...

Sowed some winter wheat a couple of days ago and I'm just cleaning the last bits of seed out of my box drill this afternoon and found half a dozen of these grubs. I always clean out the box drill with a toothbrush. The seed has been laying in the drill for 2 days, I've never seen this before. Is...

Hello, I've an extended flat 8 grab and i'm having trouble lifting short brittle wheat packs. The packs tend to slip off the tines. The packs and bales are tight enough it's just the wheat is brittle and short. Ideally I would like a grab that lifts two packs at a time and can lift two packs...

What have I done wrong? Sprayed 1l/ha of oskar/foxtrot at 200l/ha volume in winter wheat at gs 37 on Monday 8th of May.The wild oats have shrugged it off since and growing away. I can only assume I should have sprayed at 1.2l/ha. Didn't want to go earlier as I wanted to get any spring wild oats...

What's the longest tine you can buy? Ideally I'd like a spike that's 7'6" long for a project. Probably a bit of a stretch but if you don't ask you don't get

I was wondering would a mulcher chop and spread straw swathes after the combine (20ft header), Could anyone recommend me a make or model that works for them. I understand chopper on the combine is best. I won't be putting a chopper back on my combine as I want the keep the weight down and I only...

Gonna try some chicken muck this year for the first time to grow spring barley. I'm going to get a contractor to spread it, I'll plough it in then. The contractor spreads a good bit of hen dung locally, he seems to be confident of it going on at the right rates etc. Stuff I've seen him do was...
