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...

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...

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?

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...

I’m having my clutch changed on MF 398 4wd 12 speed 88 G plate and the mechanic that’s doing it for me prefers to go all Mf genuine parts. We are dealing with Chandlers and the new replacement clutch provided is slightly different to the original taken off in that the old one has about a dozen...

Out the blue, been offered £600 for my NH 376 conventional. It's been stored in dry under cover, not used for easily 10 yrs if not a few more. From an age when we baled our own before switching to the local contractor. The normal story. Was put away working etc. He is a friend who I did sell the...

The Temp Gauge on my Mf 398 has not worked in many many years. Thought I would have a bit of a fiddle. Assuming there is a wire that goes to some form of sender somewhere. An initial 1st look about can’t see any wire at the rad cap, bottom of rad or near the pipes that I assume is the water...

Can anyone recommend a product to put in cracks of asbestos gutters to seal? I’ve been trying gutter repair stuff in tubes with very limited success. i'm thinking along the lines of overdosing with an old school thick tar bitumen type stuff. Any products out there available over the counter?

I need to buy some new deflector gates for my haybob because mine have had it! looking around on eBay and the like, most available seem to be ’New style’ though I’ve found the odd one which is described as 'old style'. What’s the difference please and are they interchangeable anyway? ive...

Having a strong look at Sip disc mowers. Of particular interest would be the 2.6m rear disc mower on the Alp series. Unfortunately never seen a sip in the flesh. Any Members (with no affiliation to Sip) and own/experience of their mowers care to comment on build quality, reliability etc

As per title can anyone offer any feedback/knowledge of this machine? Strongly looking at buying a new mower and in likely hood before this tax year is out. It would be going on an 88 plate MF 398 tractor. Small acreage of 50-60 per season. Fields relatively uncomplicated and flat, one has small...

My apologies......this must of been covered at some time but putting in a search results in words too common and too short apparently, hence this thread. How do you hpi check farm machinery as in title? My situation is I'm very interested in a Mower conditioner off a farmer, only 20 mins down...

Find myself considering a lely splendimo 205 lc conditioner mower which I know to be a 1999 build. Considering it is 18-20 yrs old it is seemingly in great condition considering paintwork and covers for example. Asking price £2500 + vat but with a strong hint from dealer that owner “will...

Keeping it short...... been looking at a Baird 400l sprayer, 12mtr boom (Brand new) that is priced at £980 on eBay. The price is clearly what has grabbed my interest. On ringing up today and speaking to the guy. That is the end price, he said no VAT. My already suspicious mind has now moved up a...
