Keeping the tractor running after nuclear war

[Pheasant Surprise]

sad thing is you'll need shotgun shells not ecus

We’ve all seen the movies. What happens when you run outa shells?

through any spare ecus you have at them ?

Basically man is not an island. No point stocking up on spare ECUs my friend if you have no diesel or kero left, because no lorries can run or depots operate. We’ll ALL be totally fudged.

Don't most ECU's come blank and need a dealers computer to program them as they often fit more than one model of machine.

They do for Deere’s, some will work out the box but still need coding with serial numbers etc to keep working. This means you can’t swap between tractor for example you can’t putting a 6930 ecu on a 6630 and make it think it’s a 69, it would run but wouldn’t rev up etc.

i don't think i've ever come across such a silly thread.....and i've tried very seriously to start some in my time

I will remind you of this when it all kicks off. Of course you won’t be able to see my reply, but I will still take satisfaction In it.

You would take satisfaction in the event of a nuclear holocaust?!? Like WTF are you unhinged?

yes you will....the internet was a product of the cold war....a communications system to survive/operate after a nuclear war

I see vladimir is turning off Russia's internet for a short while ,to see if they can keep their internet running just in russia ,?why ?

 

[roscoe erf]

Why? The need to till the soil will still be there and agricultural equipment will be helpful to clear up the debris.

I think it’s worth thinking about a contingency plan.

id be more worried about the road warriors trying to steal your life

 

[dowcow]

Have you considered turning your tractor shed into a huge Faraday Cage?

Does the 55 have electronic lift control and the digital dash?

Pipe the lift rams to the SCVs and away we go........

Presumably if you’re going to the trouble of stocking up the half dozen ECUs found on each of your typical machines, and storing them carefully in gold foil in your purpose built EMP-proof lead lined safe inside your bunker, then you you would have also invested in a few spare dealer laptops too and an off grid power supply to charge the batteries in the nuclear winter....

Probably won’t be able to help you if service adviser remote is down because the broadband is stuffed though

“Hey honey I’m just off to chuck some fert on in the nuclear winter wheat. Keep the bunker door sealed. Don’t wait up...”

There was a much higher risk during the 1970s

I'm with you on this.... genuinely considering building a bunker... at least I would if I had spare money ...

The threat is real folks !!

Back to steam it is then.

The UK can lead the way then, we've got more restored steam engines than anyone else. We'll have a full timetable of intercity travel up and running in days!

No ECUs on this old girl:
