I have never used the trailer socket before and today I connected my light board to it and the brake lights are on all the time. I checked all the pins individually on the tractor socket and it confirmed that the brake light pin is always live when the ignition is on. Any idea why this might be...

I tried to put this in the machinery section but failed so hope it's ok here. I have a pair of Tru-Test MP1010 load bars that have been completely rebuilt by Allied Weighing, new cells etc and properly re-potted by Adam, they now have a 12 month warranty. I also have a Tru-Test S3 indicator...

This might seem a silly question but the life span of double glazed units seems to get shorter and shorter, almost as though planned obsolescence is built in. If you get the "professionals" in to replace them the workmanship can be dismal quality as they have to fit so many in a day they cannot...

I have a lot of branches overhanging the deer fence from neighbour's wood and some of my woods that need cutting off. Some are quite high up, so I raided the scrap heap. Cut up an old MVF bale squeeze that no longer gets used, repositioned some of the bits and re-welded, added a 40 gallon drum...

I am costing up a project, basically building a machine for a client which involved various trips to purchase materials etc. Using a Ford Ranger that does 28 mpg average so about 31/32 pence per mile on diesel. So what about the other running costs and also my time while doing the driving etc...

Need a bit of help please. I have an old Kubota KH90 digger that has been giving problems. It is now charging at 16-17 volts and cooking the battery. I cannot find a voltage regulator anywhere. It did have a new alternator maybe 4 years ago, would there be a regulator incorporated in there...

I have a NH T5060 with 2 spools on the back, one is pumping oil ok and the other is not. Any ideas what could be the problem and how to fix it please?

Anybody got any bright ideas? We have 113 acres currently running as a deer farm but that is coming to an end most likely. Wife and I love where we live and don't really want to move but it may be the only solution. The land has about 60 acres that have been arable in the past with the rest...

Bit of a long story but left me somewhat amazed. The week before Xmas I went to the dentist for a filling on back upper molar on left side, all seemed ok but after a few days I got a bleed in my left eye, swelling below the eye and it extended down my face to the jaw. At first I thought I had...

Has anybody here gone through the process of CE marking any machinery? I need to do it for a hydraulic deer crush and it would be a great help if I could get a copy of things like a technical file and a risk assessment workings. Not expecting one that's directly applicable but any examples would...

Does anybody use these and would be able to tell me the real world range of them for reading tags please. I am thinking of the smaller panels because we only have room for them in the situation we have. We could use 2 side by side (not opposite) and would like to know if the animals head is...

Just watched this and found it interesting. It would be good to get a few reactions from others, particularly @Farmer Roy

I am doing some work on a neighbours crawler tractor. It's a New Holland TK 4030 F on steel tracks. One problem remains is that when I switch on the ignition the temp gauge needle rises to red in about 4-5 seconds and stays there when the engine is running as well. Would this be a faulty sensor...

4 are pretty good, 2 are more worn but all were ok and holding air when they came off a machine. £250 plus VAT for all 6

Where has off topic gone? Has not been there for the last 2 days, and I also have to log in now instead of always being logged in. Could it be my old laptop which is definitely getting worse?

We lost this tree in a storm 2 years ago and the deer really miss the shade in this current weather. they do have shade at the bottom of the field but there is no breeze there and they also like to be able to see what is going on around them. I want to plant 4 or 5 individual oaks...

I changed all the hydraulic oil and filters today on my NH T5060 and when finished found this in the bottom of the bucket. It's hard green plastic and is about 26mm ID and 51mm OD. Fairly sure it came from the final drive because of the bucket it was in. I am confident the collective power of...

Does anybody have an electric motor with a reduction gearbox, ideally down to about 10rpm. Doesn't need to be big, about 1/2 to 1 hp, or suitable gearbox on it's own.

I am looking for anybody who ships freight to Bergen, Norway. 2.4 wide, 3.4 long 1300 kgs. Any contacts please.

Does anybody have contact details for Mike cook who I believe does PTO generators etc. I think he is in Devon or south west anyway. Thanks
