It'll be a 3rd party 90 degree gearbox with most likely Waltherscheid or bandioli paveisi, you should find a stamp or plate on the casing of the gearbox if you can strip it out as you'll need to know the input-output ratio.

Yep all information known but the same brick wall being hit. It's a Rogelberg,ratio is 1.75,16 tooth bevel gear is what is goosed. Hydraquip don't even have that gearbox in stock in Ireland at the moment. As such,they can supply the gear quickly but it's a third of the price of a new gearbox.

This is an interesting piece if ye haven't read it already about the carbon cycle of cows and grassland in sequestering carbon in soil.
Methane is mentioned in the piece too.

Still a bit fuming over an Taoiseach's ignorant remarks on cattle farming and not a dickie bird on rice farming and imports into this country from the other side of the planet.

Danny Healy Rae wasn't too impressed either.
He cut loose in the Dail. Newstalk aired it. It brought a smile to face.

." If you're a hard worker, and you do a hard days work, there's nothing to bring you back and revive you again like a good piece of meat"

''whether it is bacon and cabbage or whether it is beef or mutton stew, if you don't have that you won't rise out the following day"

Excellent article, thanks for posting that, well worth a read.

Give it five years or so and the Taoiseach and the D4 fashionistas might even come to the same realisation, it's not the cows that are bad for the planet, it's way they are managed. The management can be good or bad.

And here in Ireland we have the potential to produce the very best, as high a quality, good for the environmental, meat and dairy from as anywhere in the world, we just need to show it can be done.

I've seen more about D4 in the farming forum than anywhere else on boards recently. How exactly is one postal area for all our problems now ?

For a small island we love to divide ourselves in to little 'kingdoms'.

Edit - we all happy again?!

In south Meath. It says that the farmer reported a large number of cattle tags were stolen from his jeep in late October. A number of weeks later he told Gardai that during a TB test he noticed 210 were stolen. It it understood that the farmer has between six and seven hundred cattle of all ages, weights and breeds.

Bizarre indeed.
Why would the tags be stolen??

To throw suspicion off and muddy the waters of some other thing that might cause the farmer to loose their bps altogether or effect them selling the rest of the herd or even something they thought could result in jailtime.
Money or malpractice or both or weather or whatever/whoever is behind it anyway.

It's an unbelievable set of affairs.

You find out the cult have deeper pockets and more influence than you previously thought.

On the plus side.
There's no need to ask where all the money came from for those billboards anymore.

And so it begins ... from the funded propaganda team at the 'EAT-Lancet Commission'

‘Planetary health diet’ could avert premature deaths and safeguard the Earth' (sic)

https://www.breakingnews.ie/world/planetary-health-diet-could-avert-premature-deaths-and-safeguard-the-earth-898087.html

The EAT-Lancet Commission brought together 37 experts from 16 countries specialising in health, nutrition, environmental sustainability, economics and politics...

Professor Tim Lang, one of the authors from City, University of London, said: “The food we eat and how we produce it determines the health of people and the planet, and we are currently getting this seriously wrong...

A “planetary health diet” requiring a massive shift from meat to vegetable consumption is needed to protect the well-being of future generations and the planet, according to experts...

Thankfully there appears to be recognition of this stuff for what it really is ...

Christopher Snowdon, head of lifestyle economics at the IEA, accused the authors of the planetary health diet of campaigning for a “nanny state”.

He added: “Their desire to limit people to eating one tenth of a sausage a day leaves us in no doubt that we are dealing with fanatics.

“They say they want to save the planet but it is not clear which planet are they on.”

George Lee on radio 1 about that sham study from the Eat vegan group made to look legitimate by including likeminded scientists telling us what to do.
Now it didn't say any of that in his spiel but he didn't say that it was a worldwide vegan group with money coming from Saudi Arabia that led this study. Money can buy you anything and anyone.

Was a lassie beside me, when her dad died she told me that she sold all the cattle, leased the land and stopped eating meat, she was encouraging me to do the same, it was a little ironic that she rented to a butcher, but the irony was lost on her.

Vegans needn't take the high moral ground, vegetable and fruit growing is notorious for poor wages, eastern europeans are the only ones that seem to work on veg/fruit farms.......says it all really

There are humans being treated worse than any farm animal in the veg growing areas of the UK.
I read a Farmers Weekly article about it a year or two ago, slavery in all but name.

Still, as long as it's only humans, militant vegans won't be too concerned.

How would it be even remotely possible that it would only be at a herd test that you would notice that one third of your herd was missing...?

The only meat I think should be scaled back is the heavily processed stuff.

Burgers, processed chicken products. And of course the humble sausage, which I love.

Eating good quality cuts of meat is good for humans and it’s delicious.

Heavily processed foods in general are laced with sugar, salt, fats amd a host of stuff we wouldn’t choose to eat if they were presented on their own.

The irony of irony is the EAT-lancet report will push more and more people to pick up heavily processed vegan and veggie food packs from supermarkets which through their processing are full of salts, sugars, flavouring, preservatives amd god knows what.

The chief nutritionist of the EAT group is “adviser” to a hoard of commercial companies who produce these vegan processed foods, they are literally paying for this research to push people towards their products, and it will work.

Philip Boucher Hayes has liveline today and he's been slaughtering Michael Healy Rae on that report
He didn't mention who funded it or the vegan organisation behind it

Would have been interesting if someone had brought it up
I don't normally fully agree with Healy Rae but I thought Boucher Hayes was pushing a report as fact without balance
He was giving it the same credence as the
IPCC reports

You'd never know. Could have put a big bunch of yearlings on a farm of rented ground and never looked at them for a month or more.
Get notice of the test and go to bring them home, only to find no trace of them.....
The reporting of the tags being stolen only a few weeks before that sounds all kinds of alarms, though.

Keep your sausages
Just have less processed food
and less industrial methods of food production

Tastier food, better for people's health and better for the environment too
