    Diesel tank filter

    I got fuel delivered recently to my 1000 litre tank as I believe the prices were only going in one direction, (I was right) The driver delivering the fuel told me it was madness that I had no filter on my fuel storage tank and I agree, my tank is high up and relies on gravity and it works well...

    Contracting Costs

    How are current fuel/labour/machinery costs going to affect pricing to customers this year? Fuel the biggest one. 175 hp tractor here on the road is using £5-£6/hr more fuel at 80p than 50p as an example. Some may say use farmers fuel but if you're running modern kit on GTL it's not really an...

    Diesel generator

    What would the efficiency of a diesel generator be? We are on the edge of our 3 phase capacity and looking at a generator as temporary solution. If red is £1.00/ltr am i right that would be 10p/kw at 100% efficiency. What efficiency would a generator run at? 80%?

    The war in Ukraine...

    Horrible thread title to start, ridiculous really, totally unnecessary; but Putin has done it... it seems crazy. :( I think we - Nato / the West / Democracies - should arm and finance Ukraine. I think we should have a zero tolerance of infringement of NATO airspace and territory. And I think...

    Will Putin invade ?

    As the wheat prices seem almost completely dependant upon news about this right now which way does the crowd wisdom of TFF think things will go in the Ukraine ?

    Red diesel shortage?

    Without wishing to sound too much like Corporal Jones in Dads Army...... According to a reliable source, namely the fuel delivery driver with whom I wanted to order tractor diesel, there is no red diesel at all to be had from Stanlow in Cheshire. No doubt this is a temporary issue but...

    Red or white

    Have had builders in to help build retaining wall with rocks that have been ploughed up in the past. He has asked if I could supply some for his next job. Would be using tractor and trailer so would I have to be on white diesel?

    JD 6900 Diesel getting into the engine oil

    Our old faithful 6900 (14000 hours) is gaining oil level in the engine, doesn't look like cooling fluid because the oil has no discoloration, just much thinner than it should be so assuming it has to be diesel getting in. Am I right in thinking the only point of entry could be fuel injection pump?

    SFI and Farm Assurance ‘Earned recognition’

    This extract lifted from an email received yesterday. I understood from Janet Hughes posts that there was no plan to link SFI with farm assurance. If I am correct then either Janet Hughes speak with forked tongue or there are parts of her team publishing stuff with contrary information. What do...

    How Do You Clean Your Tractor, Or Dont You?

    With the price of farm machinery getting more expensive by the day, it , in my opinion pays to try to look after it, if you are lucky to afford to by a brand new tractor, do you first, like me put seat covers on?, do you try to wash the outside of the tractor to keep it looking smart and stop...

    Valtra vs Massey Vs Fendt

    Just been looking at Valtra's A series and G series and can't but help notice that there is significant similarities to Masseys 4700 series and the new 5S and it got me thinking about the structure of AGCO while I assume they will go the same way as CNH, SDF and Argo at some point it seems...

    Best diesel generator

    After being without power for a couple of weeks due to the recent storm we've decided to invest in a generator to plug direct into the supply, ready for future emergencies. What's anyone's experience with diesel ones big enough to run ideally the farmhouse and a bungalow on basic essentials...

    Bateman RB35 fuel problem

    Got a new Bateman RB35 last autumn which had fuel problems right from the word go. 4 sets of fuel filters in the first 20 hours were needed to make it run. Put it down to colder weather waxing the fuel even though the fuel had winter additive in it and the sprayer is always stored in an...
