Hi Whilst tipping some muck yesterday, I noticed some oil seeping from the exhaust manifold nearest the cab on our JD 2140 / 2040 as I was getting back into the cab, so would this indicate the start of worn valve stem oil seals? Doesn't smoke for something this age, so not burning oil at a...

How many hours is reasonable for a second hand tractor? I understand some is more then others but my understanding is limited to distance on cars, not hours on tractors unfortunately. Thanks.

Can a lack of any particular mineral be responsible for cows not opening up properly? I have had to assist both a heifer and a calved heifer in the last 24 hours despite not getting the calving jack dirty last year. Both calves had quite a bit of fluid in their lungs so don't think I was...

Need a basic 2wd tractor to take over the mixer wagon duties. only a little wagon so 70/80hp should be fine. Must be mechanically sound with a cab, aesthetics less important. The closer to york the better but will consider anything anywhere if i have to. Cheers Tom

MAKING BEST USE OF STRAW With straw from the 2020 harvest likely to be relatively scarce, and some in the trade predicting a 15-20% increase in costs, livestock farmers will be looking hard at how they use it for bedding. For those still adopting a manual approach, there is an immediate win...

With the obvious straw issues this year I’ve been using a few alternatives sawdust being one. It works well but when I muck out once you are away from drinkers and feeders it is still very dry although compacted. Has anyone tried putting it through a mixer wagon or similar to fluff it up and...

There are dozens of threads about cubicles on here, and I've been working my way through them, the costs mentioned are around £1k per cow. Today I was told I'd be looking at £2k per cow. Now I do want to do a good job, with plenty of space, but I don't want automatic curtains or light ridges or...

Morning, The engine oil pressure light is coming on at idle on our 2140. Strangely the handbrake and air filter lights are also coming on with it. With a few revs all 3 lights disappear, but as soon as the engine is back to an idle the trio are back. If I disconnect the pressure sensor, all 3...
