    NH T7 tractor tyre size/wheel weights

    Down under I'm being told we can no longer spec a tractor with 650/65R42 tyres and have wheel weights on it. Something to do with the max weight the tyre can handle (think it's also to do with Michelin) I can get 710's on a 42 inch rim and still get wheel weights. All the other machines are...

    JD 750A isobus

    Just curious if people in the uk are being forced to use the Jurassic drill controller program or if there something better. Every time anyone I know asks JD here they simply shrug their shoulders and say sorry we know it’s old and has a stink layout but it’s all they have. Comments appreciated.

    Claas 800 series tractor. Driveshaft fail

    have a claas 810 tractor that spat the front drive shaft out the side the other day. Anyone had anything similar happen. It's a 40 km tractor. Was heading down a hill with large square baler on at the time.

    Claas 3100 rake

    Hi guys. Currently I have a 880 rake and we are looking to replace this with a 3100 liner I am a wee bit nervous as I know the rotor size is getting up there but I can't justify the jump to a 4 rotor rake. I know that we will have to be more careful when we fold it up and contouring through...

    simba discs

    Ok so can someone tell me the difference between 2B & 3C simba discs & their rough total weight of a 3 meter unit (or 3.2 meter) why is it when you hunt the internet something simple like this can't be found, even on the great plains website?

    NH T.200 & JD 750a drill

    Just curious if anyone runs a jd drill on this size tractor or similar. The tractor is an auto command. Started with the 750a on the nh 7050's & not a problem, but on the smaller tractor we keep getting issues with the hydraulics on the tractor. Does anyone know the litres per minute...

    first rebuild of 750

    so after about 1200 ha I've replaced the discs (should have been done 100 ha ago) & replaced the shaft that goes through to connect the depth wheel to the adjusting arm on the other side. This was a warranty issue as they never told me to keep an eye on the nut & bolt that connects the two...
