Green/blue both have the word "bosch" - everything else is different.

A lot of the bales made in the back end of 2018 wouldn't roll like that, they aint exactly round and are fairly soft. Any of the first cut stuff made I don't think you would be able to get that spike through them...

Made a wire strainer clamp thing for sheep wire.
First pictures are the trail run, it worked fine, so I actually painted it .......
Total cost was about 35 Euro.







It's made from a piece of 3 inch flat, and 2 inch channel.
Bolts are M16 x 65mm.

I bought this 2 years ago, charge it about once a week great job I even cut with the chain saw with it.

Bought this last August, only got around to picking it up today.
I have a plan!
(Involves bits of a Class Rollant baler)

Don't hold your breath, but it'll be done someday!

You’d cause some confusion if you were tipping along the road with this

Very dangerous to be doing that with a quad.


Might be an ok idea on the back of even the likes of a small tractor such an MF35 or something. But on the back of a quad? Death trap. Might get away with a bale of hay if you take your time.



And in reality, who stores bales in single layers on the round edge like that? Good luck with trying to roll one you take from the bottom layer of a 4-high stack. The fellas who stack them singly, tend to stack them on the flat end.

Yep 50mm angle.

Is that good enough, the wire has to go through two 45 degree angles in mine and still slips.
I didn't think two flat surfaces would grip it

Never slipped yet.

There's 50mm of a flat surface squeezing together. So 50mm of grip on the wire. I suppose it depends on how strong you are with a wrench.

That's a benefit from having an uncle who goes to auctions.

Silly question, do you have to unbolt the plates completely to place the wire through it?
If so, would it not be handier have a piece of flat with 3 hooks on it for speed of toning up to the wire?

Nekarsulm

Yes you have to unbolt the two pieces completely.
I welded the heads of the bolts to the flat bar to stop them spinning/falling/getting lost.
Hooks won't work, the vertical wires will just run along the horizontal ones.

If that's for me.

I'm not sure I follow.

Yea the nuts are screwed off and the angle iron separates.
Angle iron is for strength and to withstand any bending or distortion.
And the bolts are to grip the pieces together tighter than a duck's behind.

She’s a sharp cookie that one. See her stuff before, works hard at it.

Never wrestle with pigs

Cheep and simple minerals for cows. Plastic barrel with about a foot of cement in it. A bag of fertility minerals and a lump of rock salt. Lasts about a week.

I’m after throwing 3/4 liters of hydraulic oil into back end of tractor instead of transmission oil. Is this a drain and filter job it will topping up with the right stuff do??

Is it 0.75 Lts? If so, i'd say you're fine. Just top up with the right stuff. No harm check with dealer to confirm first though.

TheFarrier

No sorry it was three to four liters. Topped up with transmission just now it’s about 75% transmission now I’m just worried about the brakes

Am I the only one scratching my head on this one?

Isn't the back end where the hydraulic oil goes?
The front - engine gets the other oil?

I'm seriously wondering now if I've ruined every tractor there's been here.
Maybe I'll wake up in a few minutes.
