Been on hedge cutting duties today, so took a few pics of the view if anyone's interested... About a weeks cutting left to do here.. non subsidy claiming customers of course..

Finally got my quick attach brackets for my McConnel.

Been waiting quite a while although they have been in at the dealers since Xmas but nobody could work out if there were any bits missing until last week.

Saw one of yor tractors flying past the coach and horses pub yesterday with those road tyres on, looked very smart on them.

Aye that was me, watering a roundabout planting scheme in Durham.

Was thinking of getting quick hitch myself this year,do you still need to put two bolts in the bottom to lock it?

 

[raiderz]

Yes but are a doddle with a spanner and a Milwaukee Impact wrench

 

[Directdebit]

Plenty of room to do that then!!

 

[raiderz]

Yes loads I will take a better pic from underneath next time its on. Really will be a handy little thing to have. Used flat faced couplers as they have a detent in the collar to prevent accidental disconnections. Wouldn't like to think of the damage a tree branch knocking off the quick release would do to the machines hydraulics.

Any suggestion to a niggly problem I have with a PA 93 hi Power, I'm running in on a 390T using 540rpm. When at full reach its very slow to raise up, once I boom in a bit it speeds up any ideas to a solution?

Low on oil?

Clogged filter?

Clogged filter?

Does it matter if the oil is hot or cold?

No don't think so I havn't noticed any great difference anyway. If I change the pto speed to 1000rpm it does move up better but 1000 seems too much (staling the tractor if the revs are not up a bit)

Pressure relief valve on the spool block needs a tweak

A tweak? I took it of to check for blockages but it seemed fine.
