Seem to be. I have no way of measuring, apart from going by feel...
Inlets anyway aren't leaking up.

It's back on now, just have to root out the I&T for the torque settings.

Kerry must have a different currency or something. Tractors always seem dear there.:rolleyes:

There is a dealer in Fermanagh, in Ballinaleck. Top class second hand machinery, but sky high prices to match. (Hard to listen to as well). He sells loads of tractors and machinery to Cork & Kerry for some reason.

Remember looking at a machine there once and the wife was with me. Whatever way he offended the missus I was informed on the drive home that I was banned from buying off him :rolleyes:

Tis very rough and looks like it has been parked in a damp shed for a long time.

Crop it, cut off a slice of pixels at the top or a side, I think there's a limit of 4 kbites or mega bites or whatever for a photo.

Not exactly farm machinery related but I am sure ye lads can assist.
Up to this morning I had a 01 Opel Combo with a 1.7 Isuzu engine. It was the old style with the canopy roof. On Saturday I bought a 04 Opel Combo with 1.7 Isuzu engine.
A friend who is a mechanic (tractors/machinery) told me that the new one had a common real ?? engine and it was a different engine from the old one. He said that it would not be as economical and would probably need more maintenance

A common rail injecter system. It's a system that works with crystals I believe for injecting the diesel into the engine. The whole system works as one rather than individual injectors like an older engine.

Those types don't like dirty diesel too much and can be finiky at times. Don't know an awful lot about them tho sorry.

davidk1394

The one failure with the trooper engine is the injector system. You'd have to dip the oil once a week to ensure there's no diesel dropping in. The O rings around the injectors have a tendancey of going. We're after putting 3 sets into our trooper

1.7 Isuzu engine is one of the best engines ever made.

Thanks for the replies.
Nice to know that there are crystals in the engine - positive energy and all that
I just have to make sure that I buy diesel from stations that are members of large groups like Applegreen etc, less chance of it been washed stuff.
I have heard that before about 1.7 Isuzu engine and never to buy a Trooper with the 3 litre engine. The 3.1 was the far superior and go forever.

There are still individual injectors for each cylinder. But instead of a mechanical pump driving a shot of pressurised diesel to each injector in turn, there is full pressure at all injectors, al the time.

And instead of the pressure of the delivered diesel forcing open the injector, as in the old fashioned engine, with the common rail the injector is timed and opened electrically by a computer.

So lots of sensors and electrics to give problems.

Common rail also operated at much higher pressures, and components are machined to finer tolerance's, so ant dirt in the diesel is not good.

Buying a slurry tank 2000g it has thinner than normal tyres, 23.1, 26, what could be the disadvantages/advantages to these tyres (my land is good land,but a share of road work)

Can't get a bit of grease into pin on wrapper arm.
will I take it out? Fair weight of an arm to be taking the pin out of

Try to take the pressure off the pin by lowering the arm

Try opening off nipple and clean out old grease can go hard some times. Got a very very high pressure gun here for special jobs gives only smallest of pumps but will get it going.

Swap the nipple with another one on the wrapper and try that. If it works take bad nipple with you to get a replacement. Hard to tell the thread on grease nipples at times.

You can buy a box of assorted grease nipples. Handy to have

After doing the silage the last few days, I've come to the conclusion that I should buy my own tedder as its very difficult to get contractor when you want. Anybody price new tedders? 4 rotor lely I'm thinking at the moment.

Better at tedding than rowing but would do until you do better.
Way ahead of a hay bob for tedding.

Haybobs are useless for rowing for balers leave lumps and they block our baler

What is a better alternative than a haybob for tedding and rowing silage for a round baler?
Something a 590 2wd would drive.

A 4 rotor tedder and a single rotor rake. Big bucks tho. Looking at around 6 to 7K for the two

That's the big question: will you save enough of diesel & labour, and improve your silage to such a degree that you will not only recoup that money, but also leave you better off?

IH784man

Depends what your at really,could you get work with the two,do you need quality silage for milkers,do you have the time all that has to be taken in too

A standalone tedder is all I need as the contractor will rake it before baler. Lely seem to be the most popular around here.

Was talking to cousin this evening and hes talking about buying a mower so we might be able to work something out between us.

darragh_haven

We have shared a mower and a precision chop harvester between ourselves and neighbour for 30 years. About once every 3 or 4 years we'd be looking for the mower on the same day but it is always taken in turns. Repairs are done together and parts costs are split down the middle.
