Just asked for a price for some Hytran oil for our old Quadtrac. Nearly £900 for 205 litres.
We use Witham oil for much of our oil requirements and their equivalent is probably 65% of the price (I'm guessing).

I appreciate this...

Perception and perspective are very different things. Generally individuals and old farmers see food security as an existential threat eg if we had a major war (see WW2) and we struggle to have enough food in the UK. Retailers and governments see food security along the lines of “are the supply...

Having trouble keeping the front wheels on the ground when I lift plough. Got a stone fork on front with 3 sets weights hanging off it and on steep bits at ends the front wheels are still wanting to lift. It's fine in flat fields.

Not much mention of the quadtrack on this forum. Not sure whether that’s good or bad! I’m looking for opinions please. It would be an older one between the £40,000 - £70,000 price range. HP isn’t important as it’s more about the ability to travel in less than ideal conditions putting in cereals...
