You don't need the Euro ,

I allways think like that, but then i go on holiday and must buy Euro, Dollar our Pound then i wish we have make the change. And my dealer allways told me now is the price higher again beacuse of the Euro. I wish i was in the export market and get paid in the Euro, Dollar our Pound. But i just a dairy farmer and get 3.36sek/l (28 pence sterling) for milk

28 pence is not bad ,

Saying that , beer is very expensive in Sweden , as are the girls ... oops

Beer are expensive at bar our restaurant thats true. If you are a farmer in Sweden the girls runs after you

i would swap rims at that price, just seems ridiculous.

 

[tr250]

I’d swap rims back to standard 24 inch ones. The tyres might even last longer a rigid machine should do 4K hrs on a set a pivot should do nearer 6k hrs

How many more hours can we get on these tyres?

View attachment 993383

Bear in mind that they are approaching 4000hrs and a new set is now well over £6k ... even for Wunhunglo never mind BKT or better

Place your bets ...

Have you made sure you can get replacements fast?
I understand that's your only loader? If a tyre goes bang, how do you feed the cows?

Got a loader on the 6155 and a jcb dealer 4 miles away but I agree, looking for new boots

Would fronts to back not help preserve them

Depends where you're coming from. To us finns it's cheap so we northern finns like to cross the border and buy as much as we can fit in the car.

 

[Pennine Ploughing]

Get new ones on before bonfire night

Best thing I’ve ever bought is a bolt on wear strip it’s saved several buckets

I’ve never thought it’s efficient to have loaders doing that many hours, we used to do it all with one but it ended up men were waiting for it all the time. If there were other jobs on like unloading fertiliser, loading grain, muck spreading or silage, the yard came to a standstill because there isn’t a loader to use. We run 3 now, a little 2.5t machine for carrying straw around for bedding up and mucking out calf pens, scraping out feed passages etc doing 1100hrs/ year, a ‘main machine’ that does all the feeding, muck loading and silage clamping that does 1250/ year, and an old 12 plate with 8000 hours on that’s a standby machine to use a if the main one is busy. For straw hauling and filling the drill it’s left in the field. That one does about 800/ year. The key thing is nobody is ever waiting for a loader. If a job needs doing, there’s one there to use straight away.

We have 6 or 7 buckets of various sizes and states of dilapidation.
One in the pic is currently our sh!t bucket

I had quote and ordered for 460 70 24 other day for £395, not heard off them for 2 weeks actually...... best chase that up maybe they made a mistake was wondering if we could manage a 420 in our sheds instead of the 320 but if running costs are that much more ill stick with the small wheels

 

[Jerry]

@Bald Rick

Just had these turn up in a lorry making a delivery, shall I ask him how much? Should get a few hours out of them if they fit…

 

[Bald Rick]

All bets off .........

Bought some 480/70/26 at £550 fitted.
Going to look a bit odd but better than a third the price of 620s

are you worried it will make it less stable with the narrower tyres?
