Why didn’t you just but 2 padlocks through the drop pins?
Because they could still have opened the lower section…?

are there other types of adapter commercially available then ?Had to move some slurry around yesterday, in a non standard fashion. Inadequate amount of slurry pipe, so I used some redundant liquid feed pipes. What adapter did I use, I hear you ask?
Why gaffer tape of course.

Any bodge / creation suggestions for my old rubber digger tracks? Off of our 4.5t 360. Seems a waste not to ‘repurpose’ them!

If you have cattle or sheep seen fairly decent ring feeders made out of them

The only cattle based idea I had was replacement flooring in the crush, ring feeders a good shout.
The squeegee/feed nudger isn’t a bad idea either but not sure I could convince Mrs SS on the flower bed idea though

That’s a forever fix that isThrottle cable on Jcb TM gave up for some reason between farms, roadside solution was required and executed by whatever was in the ash tray. Cable ties to route cable we were new and used, but electrical connecter was preloved.

They make a very good one. Have a 36 inch track from my 855 cat fir feeding wife’s horses. Make them work a bit getting the bales apart and next to no waste too.

Made a hay rack for the nags. It was deemed the holes were far too big so I suggested getting some weld mesh but the good lady decided she could do it with string.

be lucky if that lasts more than ten years, specially with the dog still around, keep some tape handy
My dog ate my croc....I hate having cold feet in the house, so made a temporary repair. Tempted to see how long it lasts.

Easiest way is tip it on its side and then you can pull the tank out the top about a foot. Load it up and stand it back up.
