[QUOTE="Bury the Trash, post: 7537022, member: 12099"] There is one thing that has caught me out time and time again, and that is implements being awkward to unhook. we have 2 sprayers and i have modified both with addedd steel to allow them to be unhitched easier and not needing a pallet or 2 to sit on :rolleyes:. they dont look quite as pretty but boy are they safer and quicker to dettach /attach/leave in hte shed. the angle they now both settle at when lowered to the ground is also allowed for so that the top link doesn't have to be adjusted length wise to easily unhook. sprayers and fert spreaders tipping back over wont happen now as I've had happen in the past. Post knocker ,what an asso of a thing that is or was until i added counter balance to stop it being horrendously light /heavy one side and i have built a gantry for it to rest against when unhitched with a rope or strap holding it in place. I suppose machinery is built to a price but come of it do spare a thought for those actually using it in real life, its not just about keeping new pto guards on them. and no I'm not putting up any more pics of my useful real life practical (not fancy shiny paint and stickers )modifications unless I'm paid (y) Machinery designers need a kick up their big arses sometimes.
