Driving a Fastrac Icon on steep hills with loaded trailers is there a way to perform an “ anti jackknife “ like New Holland, JD, Claas, etc where it activates the trailer brakes without losing transmission? On the pre-Icon models I was told to knock it into “ Powershift “ mode, but new ones...

Anyone using/used one and what they think of them? Average price difference compared to the equivelant, regular, plough. I'm expecting to be told " it's for people that can't plough/set the plough " and " it takes the pride out the job " :ROFLMAO: Thanks.

Is it possible to fit a slurry aeration system in a current underground slated tank (140ftx35ftx8ft) Trying to reduce the hassle, and dangers, of being on the farm myself mixing slurry, so thought this would be the best solution. However I've not spoke to anyone who's fitted one to anything but...

Currently running a set of 650/75/38s with 600/65/28s on the front. Been looking for a set of replacement tyres and seen a set of 710/60/38 with fronts 600/60/28s. Will they fit my current wheels? For what it's worth I didn't spec the tyres I currently have, they came with the tractor, that...

Currently running a 160hp 6 cylinder but looking to change it shortly. It’s main jobs are ploughing with a 4 furrow reversible, 3 meter power Harrow, bailing, cutting silage, slurry tanking and silage/grain haulage with 12 ton trailers. Thinking about changing it for a 4 cylinder, the 6130R...

What’s the opinions on this tyre size? Better going for 650/65r42s? I’m Wanting to run 600/65r28s on the front so thought they would be the correct match. Are BKT in the 75 profile a good option or best avoid? Do the 75 profile 650s fit on a rim I’ve got for 650/65r38? Or would I need a...

Currently got a tower that's nearing the end of its life here, can't really see myself wanting to use it next winter. So looking at options for storage. What is a rough cost for a 400'000-500'000 gallon tower? I wouldn't need a reception pit done as ours is big enough. Just the cost of tower...

Whats the opinions on this machine? Looks quite a handy tool, especially how quick and easy it looks to hitch up and go. Although I'm guessing it'll be a higher price than a bedder, as no one round here seems to use one.

Looking at moving into our own silage with the above sized wagon, our ground is relatively flat, a few slopes but nothing to get excited over. What would be the required HP for that size of wagon? Really like the T6.180 New Holland and Case Maxxum 150 with the Active8/Dynamic Command...

Looking at possibly changing our silage trailer for a bigger model - seen a few tidy used ones for sale, all 14 ton, 18 foot long, but they all seem to be on the bigger flotation tyres (560/60/22.5) which seems to push the height up a fair bit which makes me quite sceptical of them on some steep...

We've been offered a good condition slurry store, around 250K gallons, for nothing at a farm local to us. What would be the rough cost involved in dismantling and rebuilding? is it worth it compared to the cost against new?

Considering options to expand our on farm slurry storage, we currently have around 400K gallon of storage, however to get a full winter we would be needing at least double what we have. Half of the current storage is a 30+ year old tower and the other is a slated tank. What would the cost in a...

Considering changing the tractor for next spring, looking at tyre size and wondering how the difference in sizes will affect the steering lock. Front size we're considering is 600/65/28, 540/65/30 or 480/70/30. Will there be much, if any, difference in lock with the mentioned tyres ?

We currently winter a large amount of in calve cows/heifers for a large dairy farm on our cubicles. Before asking the farm that we winter for, I was wondering if there is much of a demand for wintering livestock on straw bedded units? Could house around 10 per pen (depending on cow size) and...

Massey is a brand I've not got much knowledge on, we haven't owned one since the 90s. But i was in the local dealers the other day and their demonstrator was sitting in the yard (7718?) I was having a quick look around it (really impressive looking tractor) and what stood out to me was that it...

Current slurry set up here is around 250,000 gallon short to last the full winter, so looking at options of extending for next year. What would be the cost of lined lagoons and towers that size (concrete or enamel) ? We already have a reception tank and slurry channel as it was always our...

Our slurry storage on the farm is currently around 200,000 - 250,000 gallon short to last the full winter. Considering options of a concrete tower, enamel coated tower or a lagoon. What, roughly, would be the cost of both towers around the 250K gallon mark, plus positive and negative points vs a...

Looking at changing our main tractor shortly, out of the current options the Claas so far is the one I've been impressed with, good gearbox, very comfortable to drive, good roomy well layed out cab and performed well on a number of jobs given. However, I'm concered about the Deere engine, heard...
