Apparently you can have a float option fitted but it wasn’t standard like it typically would be on a tractor now. At 1989 in my case, it’s from that era….

As for me, I’m on an old Mf 398 tractor which unfortunately doesn’t have a float setting. To which for mowing you would be glad of. As KB6930 said it sounds as though for the grass harrow application you wouldn’t want it in float. I’ve always thought of it in terms of if you were in your garden...

We all know, in likely hood, if they want it they’ll get it! But putting that aside for one moment…..what’s the best security device you can put on a stock trailer (ifor W 12ft 510 in my case)? Hitch locks? What’s considered the best ones? Wheel clamps? ETc? I’ve always been of the opinion...

I run a quad……..with a trailer when needed for picking dead stock up, fence posts, whatever. One element to factor in is the winter time. When it’s bad weather, and been bad weather for a while, a quad will not get stuck anywhere (operator dependant) and with less ground pressure than a foot...

When I was looking at Chain harrows, the one that grabbed my attention was the Agritrend. Like you say, they beefed it up a bit.

😄 See you are a STEP ahead of me with the spinner set up…. That’s an upgrade for another year for me👍

Appreciate that KB. Cheers

KB6930, your the kind of chap I was hoping would reply. Interesting point reg wheels. My dealer mentioned about having the wheels so your hand can just fit underneath. Do you know what I mean when I mention a bit of a wobble shackle on occasion? It’s not all the time at all for me just I think...

To ”Still Farming” yes, each bloc of tines (3) has a turn buckle so that you can adjust the angle of the tines. I’ve only had a few weeks and only had a chance in the last few days to jump on it as just finished lambing but at the moment I’ve set them a bit more laid back (less aggressive) I...

Recently bought the Browns Grass Master, 5m version, and was wondering if any owners could give me one or two pointers as to it’s operation. It’s on the back of my MF 398 so for me the depth wheel height is a no brainier with pin set at two holes showing above the bracket. Where I’m a little...

Yes that’s a good idea thank you…

Thanks for replies…..(y)

I’ve stupidly forgotten to give my ewes their Covexin 8 jab (symptom of running two jobs and having too much on!) and my lambing start date is about March 15th. Is it a case of go through and inject my ewes anyway to provide their booster and then do born lambs at a later date?

Put the Rakeman to one side for now as feel may have trouble locating one. Now find myself looking at the Proforge activator 3m and the Browns Grassmaster again 3m. Anyone have experience of these machines? They both seem a similar design build and price….

That’s good to hear then. Just need to have a word with my nearest dealer then…

Found myself considering a set of chain harrows as my old set have eventually bit the dust and are on the scrap heap to weigh in. Was looking at the folding frame variety a while back, in particular the Agritrend 4 or 5m but also heard reports that these things can be overly aggressive ripping...

What ever this “Fuel crisis” is, the picture tends to escalate bloody fast! What are people’s opinions on it effecting market prices? Was going to take fat lambs to market this Tuesday….

Yes that’s the one…..white tank now.

I’ve got the Agrimec sprayer. 90L tank Lance and boom. Had it about 3 yrs generally getting on fine with it. Agree about the slope when completely emptying it. I put mine in a knapp sack and use. What could be improved? Not the biggest fan of the small ratchet straps to secure the tank to rack...
