    Are 10/20/30 series JD good value?

    I’m looking to buy a 150-180hp tractor to make life a bit easier. It would be used for pulling a trailer at harvest, rolling and a front mounted topper mainly. Around 200hrs a year. Hire prices have gone silly so I’m thinking £40,000 into one of these might be an option. We can’t afford anything...

    Wrong fuel

    Neighbour had a delivery of heating oil last week, driver put it in our Gas oil tank!! They have only just realised. It will make a 50% mix. What damage will it do to an engine? We have certainly filled a JCB loadall, not sure if a Massey was filled before or after delivery.

    Red diesel in hire plant

    My local Eagle Plant are adamant that I must use only white diesel when I hire a digger, it's for solely agricultural work. I suppose it's their machine and they can do what they like, do others make the same restriction?
