Any one else had problems with a Shelbourne oil cooler thermostat? My trimmer is only 14 months old and my thermostat pins and plug are majorly corroded and stopping the fan doing its job. I have been told that Shelbourne will only supply thermostat with a new oil cooler but I have been on Hydraulic Mega stores website and found their TM6 range (which look similar) for £27.20 but which one do I need as many different temperatures and option of normally open or normally shut?
I guess 70 or 80 degrees?
It needs to trigger my fan

Perhaps this should be in the machinery section, but I'm looking to change our hedger- have a McConnell pa590, 54hp, which is 17yrs old and doesn't owe us much. what would people's thoughts be on an equivalent newer one? It's for farm rather than contract work, and would ideally like joystick (though not essential) and 1.2m head. Would sit behind a jd6900. I'd rather have simple and solid, than anything too fancy, but seeing as i dont know much about them I'm hoping this is a good place to start!
Many thanks.
Many thanks.

Bracket on the trimmer tank?

Make a bracket to hold them then a leg sticking out of box that slides up inside the parking stands.
Fit in behind the oil tank works quite well.

Never thought of using a parking stand. I always take them off.

Interesting tool
Weld a square of box section (only needs to be inch box) and make it so you can bolt onto the weight block put signs in upside down and bungee cord to stop them flapping around

How long before we have to use something like that for trimming roadside hedges

There was post in one of the papers months ago about Lincolnshire county council (I think) looking mechanical and agricultural engineers to design a vehicle to cut and collect road side verge trimmings for use in AD Plants.
Wouldn't surprise me if we have to do the same with hedge clippings soon too

Sooo yesterday was trimming away and lost a flail....bugger no spares left in the tractor so popped home to grab a few
Bolted it on and checked the other flails and went back for the last 2 hours trimming
Mate pops over earlier and pulls up by trimmer and asks why theres a socket on the flails
