    New toy day

    No just the one, if I told you how many bales i think it will do, you would think we're crazy. Started a new business last November and it's doing well so why not have shiny things

    New toy day

    Just had a look because never heard of them, your right 10 ton machine which is smallest they do, is 225hp. That's double what say a volvo l45 is for the same size

    New toy day

    Yeah I get it for that job, but I still think a 419 with a good operator would handle most single chopper outfits

    New toy day

    Didn't take it as one, you right that size of shovel has fallen out of fashion. The old 412s and 414s were so popular back in the day, now you look silly clamping with anything less than a 435, don't know why maybe operators aren't as good as they used to be

    New toy day

    Greenwaste shredding, its the only shovel of that size, with that much power to weight of any make, 420 and 419 are to big and heavy to move around with the shredder towed behind. Our 418 only just fits on the lorry and puts us right on the egde of legal for weight. Would love a bigger shovel...

    New toy day

    Sat waiting to be pdi'ed, probably won't get it till its on a 24 plate. Not desperate for it. Been an expensive month, new balers sat at another dealer waiting to be picked up. Feb looks like it could be double that again, waiting for them to sharpener there pencil a bit, OK a lot

    Combi baler for 120 hp

    Depreciation and parts, most of which were pickup tines Worked out cost to change is £1.82. 55p sounds better

    Combi baler for 120 hp

    Planning on pulling today's purchase with 125hp, I hope. Handled wrapper towed behind baler fine, although combi is a fare bit heavier. Worked out old setup cost £0.55 per bale & wrap over 12 seasons/28500 bales, think this will cost more.

    New Holland tm165 leaking oil

    It's a compensator valve, strip it apart and see what you find. They're not cheap so worth having a look

    New Holland seat sensor

    14093 is a short in sensor wiring, probably damaged behind seat. Joining the wires wont work because its not an open or closed circuit, its done on change of voltage, think its 3v when off the seat and 9v on but could be the other way round

    Puma 185 Oil flow

    had the same issue last week, the fan barely runs on ours with it turned right down now but doesnt take much of a turn to get it up to speed

    Puma 185 Oil flow

    assuming they aren't different from the ones on a t7000 series and tms, turn flow right down, remove the cap of the flow dial, unscrew it and remove it, turn the flow down a bit more with pliers and replace dial in the same spot. if they haven't used much they can change because they are not...

    New toy day

    That's it against the matbro, its a few inches taller and maybe a bit more if it had the wider tyres, which I wish it had. I'd try it. its a fantastic machine, it easily out pushes and lifts a tr200 for the same size https://thefarmingforum.co.uk/index.php?threads/new-toy-day.312469/post-7751778

    New toy day

    Didn't even try the manitou, Old man drove past it at whites, had a quick look around, rang salesman, brought it. Our old Matbro was knackered, trans wanted doing and he had money from not going on cruises during covid. Don't know as I would really have a jcb if there was a machine about that...

    Wreckers!!

    I know, it winds me right up seeing some of the kit about. Followed neighbours the other day brake ram, rod and cam dragging underneath by the hose, yet we get stopped because the flashing light on the back the trailer is too bright (came fitted).

    Wreckers!!

    Mate of mine, he said 5th wheel broke nothing he could do. Trailer shouldn't of been on the road. lucky no car on junction. my guess with insecure bit was if 2 straps are rated high enough for the weight

    New toy day

    That's it, it's not a cherry. I've used a cherry and wouldn't have one unless they've changed their design, their rams sit in a channel and material just builds up in it till it starts pushing against the ram and compost goes hard as concrete when packed tight, have to chisel it out the top pins...

    New toy day

    Only 2.5 cube just looks big on the manitou. Not sure what make it is but yeah it's got plenty of metal in it, hopefully the 418 won't destroy it. When the time comes we'll have a new ulrich but we didn't even get a price off them, probably closer to 15 grand. It will do for now

    New toy day

    Its a brilliant machine, we were a bit unsure when we brought it but its exceed expectations, the only thing I would change is the joystick but that's because I'm so use to the jcb one but the new standard jcb one is the same as it now. We should of brought the belly weights for the back because...
