As above, I hope it’s a problem with a seized relay/shuttle. We are able to lubricate the shuttle for 1st an 3rd but can’t get to the necessary for the other two gears. My question is, are there panels in the floor that come up to allow access to the shuttle assembly ? or does the cab have to...

I have two livestock eye cameras which work ok, that cost at the time around £225. looking at what is available for “ domestic “ applications these days, you can get something that seems very similar for either side of £50. The only difference in spec I could see was it’s difficult to find one...

Bought this heifer out of a market in January this year. Wasn’t quite happy with her after a week or so, thought she may of had pneumonia as a calf, but hoped she’d be ok and it would be a none issue. She never “did “ like the rest and now has died. Went to clear her up and noticed she had been...

To cut to the chase, my Honda Trx FM 500 needs an engine rebuild 😞 the guy who is doing it for me has given me a list of components needed that I’m guessing are all going to be very expensive. Does anyone know how much a whole new engine is likely to cost as an alternative to rebuilding the old...

Friend of mine has a small quantity of dried peas he has offered to me They are screenings off the dresser. I know sheep will eat and utilise whole barley readily enough, but can they do the same with whole peas ? Thinking of giving them to my pen of orphan lambs.

My son is considering having a small caravan park on a small piece of land. Mains electric is looking to be prohibitively expensive to get across to it. Could a central solar panel, or multiple solar panels ( one for each caravan perhaps) be feasible. Any experience , costing etc ,or thoughts...

Got a fencing project ahead, I was wondering what gap people leave between the centre of the hedge and the fence. For CSS in front of a new hedge it is 1.2m, most of our hedges are old and established but I would have thought 1.2 m would be about right ,to allow for the cutter to get in now and...

Just had the quickest of looks online, and it seems the above start at a price ,not much more than one call out, and go to around just under £300. What is the difference between them all ? and will the £60 ones do a job. For me, I would only use it once or twice a year, so wouldn’t need anything...
