The lock is horrendous on them, even with the stops adjusted, and the back end way to twitchy.... Few of them ran into turbo problems to if I'm not mistaken?

The lock is actually worse than horrendous if you ask me ha

Mad4simmental · 17-09-2014 12:13am

Lol ya the lock isn't grate, you'd swing a semi in a smaller yard!

You'd need a 10 acre field to swing one ha

Zr105 · 17-09-2014 12:21am

You can adjust the stops a good bit from what their set at in the factory but even at that there dreadful, much much worse than most other crew cabs aswell...

2.0dsl? Every 55,000miles
or around 90k,

Sorry just saw yours is petrol, pretty sure petrol primera has a chain, you don't need to change them unless they get loud/noise

I think they are based in the pajero sport and if so they are a pig of a yoke to drive IMO

Worst jeep I ever drove was the sport. No power, no road holding and a pig on diesel.

Did anyone ever watch The Moo Man?

Watched the first half hour last night on Film4+1 but as it was almost 3am I decided sleep was a better option.

Worth watching the whole thing?

I have spoken on here before of a neighbour who wouldn't sell silage bales in spring 2013. Those bales along with last years hay are in the field. I see him baling there now. This field hasn't been touched since last year. Looks like dung

whelan2 · 17-09-2014 4:19pm

He's actually mowing it was last years hay bales I was looking at

_Brian · 17-09-2014 4:29pm

Some lads arent quite right..

Close to hear fella dumps out boxes of dung over the winter in fields.. Usually spreads them in spring.. Last hear he spread fert round them and then when the field was cut N baled the dung heaps were baled up too :eek:

Could see the marks of where they were before mowing..

Nekarsulm · 17-09-2014 4:32pm

There is a lad not too far from me, who makes a clamp of silage, then doesn't open it till the cattle have half starved, and are roaring round the hedges.
Like Brian says, some little thing loose........

whelan2 · 17-09-2014 4:35pm

He's mowing it and baling it straight after. Wonder will he wrap it? Grass is brown. Massive docks in it

Any ideas on how much pressure goes in tyres on a Ifor Williams cattle trailer. Tyres are 6.5 - 16

I think it's written on the sidewall

Just looked there mine says 69psi anyway

Base price · 17-09-2014 8:03pm

I don't think these are the same. 2 are showing 28 lbs, one is 30 and the soft on 20. I pump them to 30.

Hang in there. Y'all get the hang of it eventually.. Still not as good as here though. Ye won't learn anything over there other than how to give and take abuse.ha

Do ye ever listen to the farming slot on Newstalk, moncrief? Mairead lavery on from farmers journal country living talking ****e about happy farmers and the ploughing championships, totally out of touch. Mary phelan does be on sometimes, she sounds like a great laugh to go on a session with, think she writes for the farmers journal too.

Red ribbon for you Daisy :eek: Yep later on today, have a couple that have top lumps but was reassured by greysides that the top lumps aren't the bad ones.

Still, fingers crossed!
