    John Deere 6420 premium vs 6430 standard

    Been looking at getting a loader tractor and definitely decided on one of these 2. From Ireland so hard to find 6420 with under 7000hrs and can get 6430 with around 5000hrs. Tractor would not be main tractor and used for light loader work and the most power requiring jobs would be towing 14ft...

    What grease would be best for swinging hammers in our shredders. Currently using just an exol ep2 because it's cheap, paying £1.79 a cartridge but seem to be getting more wear on the steel bushes than normal.

What's the most basic one I could get away with? All I want really is a bigger head so a 4ft one. For a MF 5455 tractor ideally rather...

    Newborn calf feeding protocols

    Can I ask what’s anyone’s favoured feed regime. As we start tightening our calving season the workload needs simplifying with regard to feeding until they are on barrels. Do you keep singly for a day or 2 until ready to join a group or is it 1 stomach tube feed and on to a multi feeder?
