Hey up, not been about for a while, hope all well! The old Lambo 80 yard tractor (40x40 box) has developed an odd fault. Running up the road it appears to be winding up in the back end somewhere - basically you can feel distinct drag and the thing labouring for no reason. Can also sense a bit...

Hey up, Sowed a stewardship legume and herb rich mix back in early August. Established really well but so has a lot of volunteer ryegrass - wouldn't mind getting this out to allow some space for the sown (required) species... sheep man is also keen to bring some animals in towards end of...

Afternoon, I appreciate it isn't the ideal choice but given how the little farm wood is stocked and prospect of die back I'm considering planking up a few larger examples with the Alaskan mill to use on some garden projects including a rustic shed / wendy house type thing for the kids...

Hi all, BR740 belt baler. Had some sort of failure in the sledge roll gear / bearing. Clearly needs to come out for any inspection / repair. Can anyone advise on the procedure to get this out please? Also should anyone have access to a shop manual a screen shot or two would be most useful...

Hi, anyone have a set of stands to suit a Mailleux Chilton MX460 (1989) loader please? These are totally different to the later types - from a youtube vid it looks like two cranked tubular legs that attach at the main loader pivot pins? PM or call, 07985 302845 Cheers

Sorry mods... I know... but could do with the attention! Father in law needs a gearbox for his NH 377 conventional baler - seems nothing new or from breaker available anywhere... PM any details please - new or good used. Thanks

Hey up, Sorting out the rainwater goods on a new build shed - want to run guttering on both sides of the apex into a single storage tank, looks like I'll need to use a hopper type setup to achieve this unless anyone has any other ideas? If using a hopper is there a recommended volume relative...

Evening all, Saw a nice little 5610 series II AP earlier - looks an ideal little tractor to live down on our stables / allotment site. Only issue is it has a single DA spool and down there it would need to use a Teagle verge mower throughout spring / summer which demands two such services. Any...

Evening all, Came by one of these a few weeks ago (from a clearly less than sympathetic previous owner). It has clearly had a bit of abuse followed by a botched repair involving rotors being dropped then replaced 'out of time' leading to tines hitting each other. We've had it all apart and...

Fascinating little write up this month, it seems that two Dutch dealer technicians completely replaced a 924’s vario unit in an open yard inside 16 man hours seeing the tractor back at work the very next day. Given the source I have no reason to doubt the the story and I’m sure the overnight...

Hi all, Had a trawl of the net but cant find a definitive answer..... Brought on by the on-going wet spring.... If we were to sow 5% of the arable area of the farm to a spring / summer N fixing mixture (as opposed to simple fallow) would this count as our third crop under crop diversification...

Technical position sought - ideally part-time / flexible working (existing family and home farm commitments) but all options considered including a self employed basis. Within one and a half hours of Bath for regular travel, further afield no issue periodically / by arrangement. Full CV on...

Hi all, So, the MF8130 (1997) seems to have developed a tendency for the PTO to go straight in - no 'soft start' as it were. This is causing shear bolt issues on certain machines and needs sorting. To be clear it engages and disengages fine, just too harsh going in! First thought is solenoid /...

Just picked up an old Bomford Turbo Tiller at literally scrap price, thought it might be handy in and around our little DD system and the concept seems to be back in fashion... Any bright idea on potential sources for spares, do Bomford still carry anything - no parts book on website? Its a 6...

May have been covered elsewhere but see link if not, certainly making their point in the traditional manner! https://www.rt.com/business/404228-france-farmers-protest-glyphosate/ Slightly unfortunate headline attached to it but there normally is an agenda attached to an RT story.

Looks to be a step in the right direction, please have your say, only takes 5mins. Re smaller local units I recognise that they have great value in terms of welfare and local communities. I suggested some form of grant to assist with compliance or perhaps enhanced responsibility for the vet...

Evening, Whats the compatibility of mountings between these units please? I.e will an applicator originally fitted to a Hi-Lo fit an RB25 and if not how much fabrication / modification is required to make this so (or is it simply a complete non-starter)? Thanks

Evening all, Laptop giving up, most other things in house appear to now be apple, on cloud etc so think it's possibly MacBook time. In plain English what are the practical implications of changing over from a Microsoft system? I have my old files backed up in MS office format plus a few PDF...

What if anything is the Zeta bringing to the party for a 3 fold + price difference per hectare relative to normal 500g/l Cyper? I know the actual 'cost' difference is very small due to low rates but curious to know if there is any tangible benefit!

Evening all, What can than the collective tell me about a vehicle (car) that is Cat C written off? Only seen a few pictures but appears to be very superficial cosmetic damage. Apparently have to apply for a new V5? Will the car be more expensive to insure once back on the road? Any other...
