Hi there,
Tried finding a simple calculator for working out the cable size required for a motor but struggled.
I have just bought a 5hp / 3.7kw single phase motor to power a roller mill. It is to be plugged into a 32a blue socket about 10m away.

Hello.
Ive decided to clean out the cab of our 575, in the hope of actually using it for some grassland work rather than leaving it on the roller mill. Problem is, its the first time in several years that it has been cleaned, and its coated in a very thick layer of flour from the roller mill...

Currently looking at the investment required. We'd only be looking to sell to local businesses and consumers for home baking etc.
So we are seeing high horse power 4 Cylinder tractors up to 200HP in the Massey Ferguson range. Are they as reliable as a straight 6? Do they have the tourque of a 6 cylinder ? Pros cons ? Are they here to stay? First tractor a drove was. 6930 150HP , it could run rings round a 4 Cylinder 200HP...
Been here 50 years, any ideas of what model it is/rough value? I’m 44 and can’t remember the last time it was used/attempted to be used. Plate says either I C: 2 or O C: 2. Does that make sense?
Hello,
I need to find some parts for my 1980 red cab 575 (banner lane build two door with the sliding window on the RH door.)
I need to find a new seat, cab trim, and most importantly the left hand door frame, as the old frame got a little bent when a tree decided to reach out and bend it...
