    Weidemann 1370CX50 parts

    As per title, I have recently bought a Weidemann 1370 cx50. There are a few bits needing sorting on it. I've looked via google and ebay for parts for it but can only find filters. Where else could I find parts for the machine? T.I.A

    Avant, multione and other compact loaders

    Might as well ressurect an old thread. We have just come by a weidemann 1370. Been looking at pivot steers for years but couldn't justify the money for the job. I'm a few years older now and want to keep my back working for a bit longer so we have got one. Have used it most days since we've had...

    Cull ewes.

    The killing of the sheep is something that we sometimes have to just turn a blind eye to as a result of not having other options, however, seeing poor/rough/ill sheep bought at auction, dumped in a field and left without due care or attention is something i dont want a part of and due to...

    Cull ewes.

    We rear and sell mutton as well. Without sounding snobbish, selling an old swale as mutton is what gave it a bad name.

    P7e trailer problems

    We have had a CLH trailer for years. Best piece of kit we have. We have however put new tyres on it. The trailer has taken an awful amount of stick from us and seems to be holding up pretty well. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. Ifor on the other hand are getting shoddy. People still buy...

    Fixings to keep gates straight help please.

    As with everything we do here, we are trying not to do anything permanent as we are forever moving things around and don't know when we might lose the use of the barn.

    Fixings to keep gates straight help please.

    My wife and I rent a barn and rear calves up in it. We usually do pens that are 22feet long. This means we have one gate hung on girders and then the next and front gates are all on the ground, tied up with string and more often than not, never staying straight. I'm not a technical person but...

    Dealing with depression - suicidal thoughts - Join the conversation (including helpline details)

    SNAP. I hate the mundane with a passion and it gets more passionate by the day! So much so, people have gotten used to me just staring blankly at them when they ask a question that every Tom, Dick and Harry has already asked! Oh and the fact that I'd rather listen to music or radio in headphones...

    Career change

    I have no qualifications, had no previous experience even relevant to farming and tried loads of "internet jobs". You can't beat walking into a farm yard, looking a farmer in the eye and being honest. After that....work hard, get dirty and don't expect much in return for a while. Minimum wage...

    Welshpool, not wanting export lmbs.

    Only because of the Covid job though isn't it? The ports are closed because of a fair few countries wanting nothing to do with the UK because of this new strain of Covid which has locked the south down.?!?!?!?!?!?!

    Sage or wise advice in farming.

    Perfectly said aswell. Something I've learnt fairly recently. Grandad - something along the lines of " a good days work for a good days pay" - slow and steady when backing trailers up. Mine..... no one cares about you, only that you don't upset the apple cart. To my...
