As the title, we’ve been advised that we can use Kerb on winter beans as long as there’s no frost looming and they have 2 leaves or more! Anyone done it or planning to do it? Did it work?

As above looking for price at moment, would not be urgent!

Our 6620 is running a bit rough, if you floor it from idle there’s a big cloud of black smoke (doesn’t usually smoke) and it’s generally running rough. Have given it a dose of Stanadyne which has made it smoke a little less but it still runs rough. Its done over 8000hrs and the engine has NEVER...

I know this maybe the wrong place for this question but there’s no doubt a few of the above are scraping out ditches and doing the odd drainage repair around the farm. Any experiences with either would be interesting as I’m thinking of parting with my McConnell PA8 for something a bit more...

Looking to buy a tap and die set for general use in the farm workshop, any ideas on a good set for around £40-£50?

Our winter beans look really good at a distance but when you look closely there’s loads of flowers just finishing but very few pods in fact I’ve never seen so few pods! Could it be the cold or lack of sun and bees or a bit of everything?

I’m thinking of selling the old McConnel PA8 and buying an old JCB 3C, anyone have any suggestions where I could get insurance quotes for the JCB. I only want cover for taking it on the road on the odd occasion not for any digging work as it will only be used around the farm. I am going to try...

Our JD6620 is permanently hooked on to the sprayer so really that’s all it does, the cab constantly smells of chemicals, can you get better cab filters I know you used to get carbon filters. Can you still get them and do they help or are there better filters now?

Drove down the road indicated right, pulled off the road to open the gate got out glanced back and the hazard lights were on! So I get back to the yard and when you put either LH or RH indicator on the hazards flash front and back, everything else seems ok. Any ideas what could be going on! Its...

Hi, Anyone own the above digger, I have a McConnel PA8 and thinking of changing to a Ditch King but McConnel tell me the buclet’s are not interchangeable ! Anyone on here own a Ditch King if so could you please measure pin and stick diameters or pm me? thanks Kevin

A mate has a Stihl chainsaw he says it starts runs and then dies he then restarts it and it does the same again! He says he has had the carb apart and cleaned it and changed the plug. I afraid those are the only details I have at the moment, any ideas appreciated.

Time to give the DB880 a service, will need 30lts of oil to change the engine and gearbox oil. Any recommendations where to buy as I’ve looked on the internet and the price for 10/30 oil is a lot of money, roughly £100 or more!

Tractor mounted McConnell digger from Bungay to Stevenage price please!

Our newest tractor is our first tractor to have 750hr engine oil changes, to me it seems a bit long, the oil is now very very black and thin, it’s on its second service so it was done at 100hrs and will be done at 750hrs and next time it will do another 100hrs not only that it has used a bit! I...

Tractors now 12 months old, 1st regen was at 211hrs, 2nd at 531, 3rd at 599hrs. Tractor does everything from top dressing to ploughing which it was doing at the time of the last regen! How often is normal? Tractor is 155 horsepower pulling 5 furrow KV plough.

I like most people abide by rules but why is it that farmers aren’t allowed to hedges until September but my local council are cutting hedges here there and everywhere and not for safety reasons. Surely it should one rule for everyone!

Just taken delivery of a new JD6155m, don’t get me wrong it’s a nice tractor but when compared to the previous 6630 it’s a bit dull to drive. I know they are not allowed to smoke when worked hard (which is quite right) but the engine has no bark to it at all in fact you can hardly hear what...

Hopefully putting our Bomford trimmer on our new JD155m this autumn, it’s cable controlled with 3 levers. How and where is the best place to put the levers? Usually bolt them on top of the wing but this tractor has a fridge box ((that has no fridge in it!) and a passenger seat. Was thinking of...

Have been waiting for our KV dealer to get us a lead for our KV Tellus screen for what must be nearly a month so anyone know if there is a shortage or are KV slow on parts generally?

Where's the best place for parts for our CIH 895 front axle? Not had much luck with local dealers!
