Hi all, not sure where to post this so please move it if it's in the wrong place. I was hoping the collective may be able to help me out with this one. Without going into too much detail one of my drivers reversed into a door post when delivering hay to a livery yard. It was a 4 inch post that...

Hi, I have a MF 7618 and a 7620 and neither are giving me a radar speed reading from the ISO 11786 plug in the cab. I've tried it on a new 7716S and that's fine. I've read a few old threads and found out a bit but can't find anything specific to these tractors. Does anyone know if something...

Hi all, I'm just after some advice about short disc machines. I see there are a plethora available and given the current circumstances seeing them in the flesh or getting a demo may be more tricky than normal. What are they like in very hard going? We cultivate a lot of grass stubble each year...

Hi guys, I drove our 2012 MF 6499 out of the shed this afternoon to do some more mowing (it's been running fine up until now); it started as normal, drove 20 yards, and cut out (like it had run out of fuel). Plenty of fuel at low pressure pump and its buzzing as normal, fuel at inlet of high...

Hi all, I have a Kuhn front mower, FC 313 FF, and it's developed a problem which has got me puzzled. It started by not dropping fully when in float and doing a lousy job of mowing. It would only drop about halfway. The accumulator pressure was normal. With the linkage raised and the mower in...

I remember a thread posted years ago on the other forum discussing ways of making the food we eat during the long days more interesting. There were some great stories that had me roaring with laughter involving cans of beans exploding on manifolds etc. As we're at that time of year again I...

Hi folks, I have a Nixon hot pressure washer and have never used the detergent facility since I bought it. I've since lost the instructions so I'm after some advice please- Is it worth using? What's the best stuff to use? Use it hot/cold? How do I use it (I think you have to adjust the nozzle...

Hi all, I read a thread few weeks ago where residual sprays for controlling weeds around the yard were discussed, but now I can't find it. Someone said there's a chemical that can be added to glyphosate for a longer lasting effect on weeds around buildings etc. Every time I spray roundup all...

Morning all, I've been scratching my head over this so hopefully some of you knowledgeable folk may be able to help me out. I have a JD 6320 on 460/85 R34 - 380/85 R24 tyres and I'm after some (preferabley s/h) flotation wheels and tyres for it. Trouble is there are so many different size...

Morning, We bale a lot of sticky haylage and have a perennial problem of it building up on the lower corners and sides of the bale chambers, so much so that it has to be removed daily and sometimes has gone so hard it literally has to be hammered off with a chisel. I'm talking big lumps of the...

Here's one for all you electrical experts. We wrap all of our bales in the yard and I'd like to do away with the tractors and use electric motors instead to drive the PTO pumps as the wrappers have their own closed hydraulic systems. So, could anyone help by suggesting the best way to go about...

Hi all, Got a recurrent problem with the metal insert that screws into the plastic tank neck on our JD 6320 coming loose and leaking diesel. It's the third time this has happened, the other two have come loose and flown out and been lost over the years. It screws down tight holding the o-ring...

Evening all, I have a 2011 sumo trio which came with the multi-point points, which incidentally were rubbish, so, when they wore out for the 3rd time in 200 acres were replaced with some other one-piece points. These are much better, but I'm still not that impressed with their longevity. So...

Evening all, This is in relation to our own farm; currently I live in the local town, parents live in farmhouse. I'd like to put a static caravan in a field on the farm to live in myself in the short term (maybe a year), until one of our farm cottages becomes available, and then after that...

Hello all, As it's now raining I've started work on a best man's speech that I've got coming up, which needs to be a real corker. The groom is a terrible miser which has got me thinking of some anecdotes that I can include. As I'm not one to ever let the truth get in the way of a good story I...
