Currently dig out grass silage into a pile with a grab, then use a large Emily bucket to pick it up and feed it along troughs. Simple and little to go wrong. Only needs one tractor.
Stupidly thinking out loud now, can I fill a mixer wagon with loader tractor and then hitch loader tractor up to...
Looking at buying a used telehandler and I've seen a couple of Cat forklifts at fairly handy money, one TH406c with5500 hours that I really like the look of. Any recommendations? Always thought cat had a fairly good reputation for build quality?
It's only a thought at the moment.
I see one that was sold that had a jcb q fit carriage. Would be handy for loading bales and muck spreader to keep it busy in the summer then ditching/fence clearing in the winter etc.
I don't really want a 360 as I'm keen to use the machine for far greater...
Has anyone ever made a weight for the back of a tractor so that you can hook a trailer on at the same time, can it be done. Has anyone any photos or ideas how it could be done.
As with almost every 6030 4 cyl I have a terrible kick on reverser on 6230 Standard.
I do gearbox calibration and it is still kicking.
Wth is wrong with those softwares on 6030 series ? I have installed latest gearbox payload and same problem.
Can someone explain in plain english what do fill...
Being lazy here, anyone done the rough cost of each, got the kit to do both, clamp tieing up two good barns that could house young stock or straw, have to find an extra set of hands to run trailers for clamp. Use thick side sheet and double top sheet in clamp, use 6 layers of wrap on the 6...

looks like the rspb is going to start campaigning to convert bps cross compliance rules into legislation.
so much for opting out of elms and being able to do what you think is best.
not a suprise though.
For the past couple of years i have been using an old top fill tanker to start spreading slurry in spring, it is 1300gallon with 28.1r26, floats. only reason i dont use it in summer is the pipe from the slurry mixer to the tanker is to hard for one man to put up. Tow farms are away from home...

A study back in the seventies found that, although tractors were designed for field work they spent a large part of their life on transport duties.
This finding was something of a revelation in Britain but on the continent, where tractors were always...
Hi all
Noticed quite a few people have questions about the newer McCormick Tractors as they're gaining market share.
If you'd like to know anything about them then please just ask and I'll do my best to answer. Please don't ask for prices as that's a job for your local dealer! Also please...
More and more I hear from lorry drivers that they are asked to load their own lorries using the farmers equipment as often there is nobody around. Some are rightly not very happy about it. I wouldn’t have thought this was acceptable in terms of putting the driver’s true working hours over the...
Hi all,
Im after a loader for my Ford 7840 and nothing second hand seems to fit a 6 cylinder machine or sells too fast for me to make my mind up. Couple of new options, border plant can supply me a Metal Te loader for around £5k + VAT but never heard of this make?
Other option is I go full in...
Good morning, I've borrowed a tractor from a neighbor to load a few bales, almost promptly and typically the cable/rod for first and second gear has either broken or disassembled itself.
Third and fourth work fine. I've been looking online struggling to find anything relating to the 5545 and I...
I’m looking to make a silage pusher , I have things lying about to construct one either from an old axle with wheel or a yard scraper. Either way I ideally want to not have to uncouple shear grab to put in something, just something I can slot tines into and push along then just drive out and...
Seven years into my CFA and we finally have some decent infrastructure. For this winter I will get by with the machinery I have but looking forward to next winter I'm still struggling to work out the best way to physically feed silages to the cows.
This is the layout we nearly have now...
