    BKT Tyres

    Looking at some new rear tyres for my main workhorse, has anyone got any experience with BKT’s? They are a lot cheaper than others so makes me question if they are a good! Any feedback appreciated. 🍻

    Am I mad?

    Currently running a 14 plate T6.165 Newholland (6000hrs) loader tractor, I have been offered a W Reg Case MX135 (8500hrs) when i was buying another MX110, I'm tempted to swap the T6 for the 135 and put a loader on the 110. Im unsure if its insane to change an 8 year old tractor for a 22 year...

    A good reliable and cost efficient 4wd tractor?

    Any recommendations for second hand 4wd tractors which aren’t overly costly and are reliable. Something in the 95-130hp range around 20ish years old?

    Hydraulic Dump valve

    We have a handler which is a complete pain for pressurising it self so it makes a meal out of hooking and removing hydraulic attachments like shear grab. Is it possible to add a valve, to de presurerise the two couplings. I'm sure the old matbro had something on them.?

    JD 6130r or Valtra G135v

    Looking at both of these, similar age 6130r 2019, G135v 2020 and has a smig of warranty left. Both have self levelling loaders and front linkage, JD is 50k auto quad with 3000hr . Valtra 40k with 500rs, both have most of the bells and whistles and are almost identically priced. Any thoughts on...

    Cost to change 250 hp tractor .

    I’m thinking of trading up my Valtra t254 with 4200 hrs on it , I’m curious to know what is it costing to change differant brands of this hp up to new . I know new tractors have gone up a lot but so too have secondhand . So what are lads paying to change up recently.

    2 older tractors or 1 newish?

    Have a 12 year old 150ph tractor, owned from new, decent basic machine. Considering changing but would probably only get 25/30k trade in, if I put in another 40 then might get something 3yrs old, 3k hrs? or spend the 40k on a second tractor, 10ish yrs old 6k hrs - maybe. Only me so can...

    Curious Engineering Student, do farmers actually use all new technology that engineering blogs tell me there is?

    Do you actually use: drone scanning technology, 3D mapping, temperature and moisture sensors, farming data, or any of the "modern sophisticated farming equipment" that engineering blog posts talk about. I'd love to hear whether this stuff is actually used or just bull-crap.

    So basic tractor prices

    So Fendts are 230K How about basic 80 hp tractor with loader to suit smaller farms, hill operations, livestock etc I'm guessing every day brands such as Case, NH & MF £1,000 per hp with the loader thrown in? I could afford one, but hanging on till things settle down.

    Lime through West muck spreader

    I know this has been asked before but havent seen anyone mention a west side spreader, obviously wont be the prettiest of spread but is it worth it just for a few acres? i can get lime delivered fine but its not worth getting a contractor out to spread it. cheers

    The end of the line for MF

    Well done to MF for putting the Dyna VT gearbox in all tractors over 200hp as they are about to pull the plug on all 8s tractors with any gearbox other than a dyna VT fitted in then , because of the fail rate on the dyna 7 & dyna7 eco box, if only they would talk to the end user they would not...

    Why so many silage block cutters used on the continent compared to here ?

    With a bit of patience and engineering/repair interest surely they are a good tool for the job especially on smaller amounts ? Ive never used one mind, not years ago or now never ,know nothing about them.....at all..... just thinking ...:unsure: could you smell something burning :ROFLMAO::cautious:

    Case 4230 loader capactiy

    Hi Could anybody suggest whether a Case 4230 with a 40-70 Chilton loader would be able to lift a 1.3 ton mower from a flat bed trailer - or if it is likely to struggle / break something? Thanks for any advice

    JD 6140m?

    Anybody running one of the above (4cyl) or R equivalent? Lift capacity looks good and base weight is about 5.8t I think. It'll be expected to carry out a variety of work such as fert spreading, spraying with 21m, 4f auto reset plough, 9t rear discharge spreader and loader work etc Some ground...

    Best lime lorry

    Access not great here & lime lorries do struggle. I saw a local farmer had multiple deliveries with the same truck (new driver every time with my supplier). It was a road lorry but looked really tooled up one axle at the front, tandem at the back, I presume super singles & looked to be very...

    250hp for up to £150k

    Got to look at buying something similar to the title. 240 to 260hp I guess. Max budget is £150k as need to put a front end loader on as well. I don't get to sit on the seat much so no real bias to manufacturer but where would you put your money? Work will be 100% lime and fert spreading pulling...
