It definitely does take a good bit more power to drive a conditioner from my experience of them. Had 2 10'6" Krones non conditioner on a 6830 mowing this summer and it managed away the finest, not a hope in hell would it have been able to drive them if there was conditioners on them. You'd want another 50-60 ponys under the bonnet.

Many hills tho. We run a 10ft with a 6190 and you would want the extra weight and power on the hills

Depends! Two ways have a better range probably, clearer but it's a private line normally, well not as open as a cb.

They are a great job, normally working for the first week of the grass then slowly stop working after that!

Need a permit for a 2way??????????????

I think you had to have clearence from the local sargent to use a licenced relay
station to get signal if 2way's were 5 miles from base or each other.
That was 30 years ago.

Friend after landing with this yoke yesterday. 180.7 profiline, brought it for a good rip today and it's as nice a tractor as I have ever sat up on.

Random question lads but would an engine from a mf 355/ 360 bolt straight onto a 35 / 135?

Ya but still needed a tracked digger to eventually get it out, and that was at the top of the field.

Neighbour here bought one last year. I spent a day at slurry on her when he was under pressure and mowed 40 acres for him another day. Found her to be savage comfortable and has unreal visibility.

Lad was telling me tm 150 and 170 are the best of the bigger power tractors, opinions???

Don't know much about em but two lads that had their own machines with different contractors here both had tm155. One lad upgraded to the newer nh's and says he regrets changing and the other lad is the one tractor he won't change, very reliable. Ploughing, one pass, and drawing grass maize and grain are the main heavy work they would do I think

Contractor here had a TM150 and the engine went after a modest 8000hrs.

Lad i work for had a 8360 which left the yard with 16000 hrs , nothing ever done with the engine bar turning it up to 180hp at the pto.
I saw her for sale a few years later with a genuine 7000hrs and a respray . The clock when it hits 10k hours goes back to zero.

Out of curiosity was the contractors tm150 turned up ?

We have a tm125, bought it new in 2000, apart from a new clutch after 12 hours its a great tractor

Yes I think it was turned up a bit, every TM I have ever seen has always been turned up for some reason.

A tm 175 is probably the worst tractor ever made. A cousin runs a fleet of tm tractors at silage and he tried selling the tm 175 and couldn't sell it constantly giving electrical or turbo trouble. They still have a few tm 165 going strong after 13k + hours

Saw a lad heading off yesterday morning on a ferguson 20. He looked bitter cold. Was a tractor run about 7 miles away. I'd say he was frozen by the time he got there

Was that the tullyallen one?

I really don't get tractor runs. Sitting on a tractor 6 days a week and then handing money over to do it of a Sunday

This is the A frame that I use. Sorry about picture quality.
You can see how the attachment is bolted and an eye with pin for the fert spreader.
I welded the attachment to the scraper.

What weight are those A frames suitable for? And how much? Have a 1 tonne amazone spreader and 1 main tractor able to handle it. So it would save me borrowing a neighbours to do the loading!

IH784man

I think you can get a fram where the pto can hook on to it some way with out leaving the cab


Edit - here's one

Don't really know how you could line up the pto and hook it on at the same time

Couldn't tell you what weight it's suitable for. You might be able to find out on teagle or accord website as basically they are the same A frame. I can tell you that I put 1 tonne in my vicon spreader and it handles it ok. When I bought the spreader that was my issue as well so I bought the A frame and attachment for it as well as part of the deal. The biggest nuisance is hooking and unhooking the pto and hydraulic pipe but that's not bad. I bought it 5 years ago and I saw e205 inc vat on it today still wrote on it in marker.
There's a few people have these around here including contractors with them on the front linkages. I still get asked did the bale spike break on it. I can leave it attached and hook up to a trailer as well. You can use it with an ordinary top link but I put the hydraulic toplink on it as it allows you to scoop in under it.

Thanks I'll definitely look into it.
