I’ve bought a fairly tidy one of these to do my own spraying with. Now, I don’t know much about sprayers and the operators manual is somewhat sparse in any detail! Any hints, tips or advice would be gratefully received! I’m not a complete numpty at figuring things out but at same time don’t want...

I have a Massey 575 and 550 both with 8 speed and IPTO , Finding it harder to find anyone with knowledge of these old school tractors. PTO on both wont engage, PTO brake hasnt worked for a long while but now both are not engaging at all. Any ideas?

I have a Mr 40 loader and the two way spool to raise and lower the loader will work one way but is slow the other and sometimes won’t work. Can anyone advise why this is?

Net zero my arse ......

Hi hopefully someone can help, was using the back arm on the digger today and it stopped operating. When I operate a function there is slight movement, then nothing and you can hear relief passing. All rear functions are the same. It’s like something is preventing oil returning to tank? Front...

Managing the soil is a big part of farming. In recent years there’s been a rapid shift to low-carbon agriculture. This is an opportunity for farmers to focus on practices and innovations that help soils become more sustainable for farmers and the environment, particularly in storing carbon to...

Hi I was just wondering if one of you gurus could help. I have a hydraulic problem. We have a case 895 and the hydraulics are appalling on the loader but great on the rear arms. The steering is ok too. I’ve changed the hydraulic oil, filter. Bled the system by undoing the hose going to the...

My IH434 is used only 2-3 times a year for loader work, so maintaining battery is always an issue. Its latest battery is not holding charge. I normally use the battery from my compact tractor but that is ageing and now does not have enough oomph to start the 434 - heater plugs and starter...

Hello, We're in the process of buying an old farm. The farm is being split up as part of an estate and we're buying the farmhouse and the buildings that go with it. All the livestock were sold at least six months ago and the only animals on the farm recently have been a few horses. Anyway...

Abstract Soils have the potential to sequester and store significant amounts of carbon, contributing towards climate change mitigation. Soil carbon markets are emerging to pay farmers for management changes that absorb atmospheric carbon, governed by codes that ensure eligibility, additionality...

Hi, Looking at a corn mill roller and it has a 3 phase 15kw motor on and our electric supply isn’t strong enough to power this setup. What I’m thinking is to put a hydraulic motor on it and run it off a spool on a tractor or manitou third service. Anyone know how to work out what motor...

We run a Horsch pronto on a massy 8s and the fan runs fine just bought a second hand Lemken solitaire and can’t get the fan to run correctly. Can’t get the speed above 3000rpm and the tractor hydraulics are pulsing. Lemken man says the fan is not creating enough back pressure in the hydraulic...

Ok people, we moved here 2 years ago and have just finished putting the borehole water to all the field troughs. But the mains water meter is still scooting round. There is no sign of a leak anywhere, no wet patches, nothing! Do I speak to south west water, hope they sympathise and send someone...

So our mains meter is approx 750m away from the house/barns. There is about a 10m to 15m increase in elevation from the meter to the distribution point around the buildings. The single main supplies: 6 bed farmhouse 3 bed barn conversion X2 2 bed barn conversion x2 1 bed barb conversion x2 5...

Has anyone got experience of milking Fleckvieh on a once a day milking routine? Thoughts? Thanks

Hi, looking for a bit of guidance. I've got a bucher apm200 hydraulic gear motor that runs the fan on my Lemken solitair 8 which has been leaking from the shaft seal. I've replaced the seal (standard 25 35 7 TC) however it's still leaking but I was wondering if anyone could tell me if I've put...
