Farmhand F15 (Thrige Agro)

[Richard Devon]

Anyone know if any dealers still keep parts for these? Looking for the bushes for the boom.

As far as I can work out Farmhand got bought up by Trima, then by ALO - Quicke.
I've tried a firm in Ireland following a google search but no joy.

Just get a local engineering firm to lathe some up as that's going be way cheaper

Yes, this is what we might have to do, but that doesn't help me feed the sheep every day while i wait for that to happen......was hoping someone might say they had a set on a shelf in the dealership

@Dave W just shook his head and walked away muttering.

All 4 wouldn't stand me at £1k including brackets.

This sounds promising.....i can cut the remains of the old ones out and press the new ones in one go

Who needs Google?
Don't search for 'split bush' whatever you do!!

You should be able to buy 2 of these for each pivot and cut the excess out on the outside. I bought 10, arrived next day.

I thought our two were a bit excessive

Thanks for the link for the bushes - one of ours could do with a few

You could go and collect them.

Let me know if you need any other bits or electric 3rd service.

One has a 3rd service on but it's a bit dodgy - if we can't sort it I'll bear you in mind

These bushes should be easily manufactured or maybe even bought as standard items. I am sure they were called glacier bushes and had plastic inside the steel.

Hi, Farmhand were bought by a Danish company but it was Thrige Agro not Trima who also bought up Howard and then became part of the Kongskilde empire. Not sure what happened to the loaders as I am sure they were made by Gyro who were already part of the Thrige Group when they bought Farmhand UK.

Looking for a cable for a Thrige Agro loader any ideas we are Midlands based. Thanks

 

[fermerboy]

Not Farmhand but I rebushed a Trima loader this summer, bought bushes from www.simplybearings.co.uk
Measured up with caliper and discovered they are standard sizes, most stuff actually is. Bag of new bushes arrived next day, wasn't that expensive either.
The Trima uses spherical bearing/bushes on the lift rams and main carriage pivot and I got them there too. SKF so good quality.
May not suit you but worth a look perhaps?

 

[Ex Shutts]

Thanks but not bushes I need but cables for raise lower and crowd controls on a Thrige Agro loader
