I've a 2000 jcb 530-70 telehandler, it's not got boom suspension but I was wondering if I fitted an accumulator bottle somewhere along the hydraulic pipe that goes to the ram that's lifts the boom will it give them boom suspension? I suppose it'll be a double acting ram too so possibly need two...

How well are they made?

Negative:

2. It’s probably due to to a wetter year and how the wind...
Whats everyone elses position. The wheats looking really hungry now and its so wet wondering whether just go and make a mess or be patient?! Must be loosing yield surely.
Mulling things over … now I love farming ( mostly) and as some of you know, I’ve said it’s all I ever wanted to do .
