    Went to move some hay this morning and my case 895 has lost all power. The pedal and accelerator pedal only just about kept it going. if I released either the engine would pretty much stall. I guess it could be any number of things but any tips where to start? It’s not used very often as we...

    Very unhappy sow

    One of our three sows this morning is very unhappy. It seems something with her back foot. Whenever she puts the tiniest bit of weight on what looks like the top of the toe (I’m sure they aren’t called toes) she is yelping in pain. She won’t let us anywhere near her and won’t even take her food...

    Klf300 starter problems

    So I thought I’d have a go at fixing the quad that hasn’t been starting up with the push button. It runs fine when using the pull cord. I’m fairly sure the starter relay / solenoid is at fault here but I can’tsee how the marked cable attaches to it. . Bridging the terminals makes a few sparks...

    Before I call the vets

    Noticed this on one of my heifers last week. Initially thought it was mud or a stone but it’s not. Can’t see exactly where it is coming from as she won’t let me very close to her. It’s on her underside by the udder. Mastitis?
