    A neighbour of mine has rolled their T 7040 and as such needs some parts such as a door roof and mudguard. Where’s the best place to look for this before you go to the agent?

    Tractor won’t go straight

    Today we were trying to set our Claas Arion 630 to interrow cuktivate some beans however whilst it starts straight the front and rear wheels seem to follow different paths and the tractor starts to crab. We’ve check the tie rods and front suspension but nothing is jumping out at us. Does anyone...

    Dalbo Maxicut

    New Holland TC 5-80

    I am looking at buying a TC 5-80 combine. We’ve looked at a smaller cheaper Indian built TC5-30 but looked at the Belgium built machine and thought it’s more like what we need with a straw chopper etc. Does anyone have any experience of these machines.

    New Muck Spreader

    The time has come to retire our old Kidd Spreaders and replace them with a modern (new) machine. We do 5000 tonnes or more per year but 12 months of the year so it should n't be a hard life. Obviously everyone will say Bunning but is there something cheaper but good out there.

    Cost of spares.

    Paying some bills today one caught my eye a rocker switch for the high/low on a Househam sprayer was £29 fair enough. The hare decal for it £ 14 for that money I probably could have hired a proper artist to paint me a stylish rabbit.

    New Holland T6080

    This morning whilst backing out the shed my NH 6080 had lost all drive and hydraulics. The dash says low hydraulic charge pressure. Is it as simple as hydraulic pump failure or is there something else to look at. It’s a 2016 model with 9000 hours and has been pretty faultless previously

    Importing Tractors into the UK

    I am having trouble selling tractors in Kenya so I am thinking of re-importing them into the UK and either selling them privately or trading them in. Freight in 40 foot containers isn't ridiculously expensive so if there aren't too many duties and taxes it might make sense. So does anyone have...

    Auto Steer justification

    We are having a demo of a Trimble/RTK guidance system of our main tractor. My Son and I are very impressed however my Wife says it’s very expensive and our tractor driver can drive straight anyway. How do I justify it to her.

    Leasing

    If you were to lease a Tractor for set period say three years or so what percentage of the retail value would you expect to pay. We have been approached to try leasing but it looks very unattractive compared with hire purchase or getting a loan etc.

    Ransomes TSR 103

    I have a Ransomes TSR 103 very straight with good metal what would be a fair price for it. Faded paint and a bit of moss on it but would suit someone with a 70’s tractor

    Cat Challenger

    I am keen of the idea of a crawler in order to keep going when it is wet and reduce compaction. Main work will be Jones Triple bedformer and a 3 m discordon. I don’t want new nor too old it has to do no roadwork and we are busy 52 weeks of the year so it could clock up a few hours but not...
