Yeah, male and female same as the last one. They could be changed around but, as lads said before, better to stay with the standard settings and get used to them, I think?

I wouldn't think that it would make any difference. It's the same oil, pressure etc. You'd just be reversing the source of the flow

What's the standard? Or is there one? I've seen every combination on different tractors.

What controls do you have? levers or a joystick with button for 3rd service?


Is it press a button and move lever in same direction as tilting the whole grab down to close? And tilt up to open? ( This is the only way I'd have it, anything else and I'd change the couplers around)

On my loader both couplers on loader are female and both on grab are male, so it can be hooked up either way, but I've color coded each so I don't mix them up.

Joystick (ooh matron:D) with a button for 3rd service. It's now the same as the tine grab and the first sheargrab I had so I'm assuming it's a standard setting.

For the sake of 3 minutes with a combination of either a 19/22/27mm spanners (dairy man's toolbox x2 visegrips :P) to do what ever falls to muscle memory rather than spend the next few week thinking about how you do it.
Just change them to how you want it.

I'll leave it the way it is now, I'd say. The second lad wants to do the feeding here this winter so probably better him learning the standard way rather than having to unlearn the wrong way of doing it.

As above, just making it easier for the young lad, really.

Our's and the uncles came with a male female but we changed them to all male. Easier wipe the crap off a male one than a female before coupling.

Aw well you are already messed up so. I've a 390 with shuttle and a 365 with 3 gear sticks on the floor, I often find myself reaching for an imaginary shuttle lever. Had a 185 over 20 years ago with spool valve levers on left hand side of seat I've just about gotten over reaching for them.

Are those big roof light panels in that shed? Serious light in there.

Continentals have a completely different version of a shed to us. Interesting to see it.

I find myself reaching for the shuttle in the Hilux, That's worse

Most places seemed drilled. That outfit drills 24/7 from sept to now. Wears out the discs every year. Approx 400 ha

Not a contractor. It's off a horse stables

Sandy gravelly ground then?
There’s only about a third of the European winter crop planted and 15% of roots I harvested that are salvage and worthless now due to rain. A tulip grower I know has only 3/4 of his crop in but in Holland they’ve virtually nothing planted and gone too late now he reckons.

Yeah good land with and index of approx 80 I think. Gone from 60/40 winter/spring to 100% winter crops

Only got 88ha of wheat planted, and 40ha barley. No osr planted due to drought.
No option for swheat or sbarley, so lots of extra hectares of maize, sunflowers, haricots, chickpeas etc. for 2020.
Luckily we sold most of the grain maize for forage or we’d be retrofitting tracks on the combines like everyone else...

Got as much for what we could get onto look after. It’s not going to be a bumper year as doesn’t look like it likes wet toes.
Local big contract farmer looking at over 3kha of spring crops out of 3600ha by time he redrills drowned stuff and what will be ripped out with Bg infestation as can’t get pre em on. Did sound out if we’d have a spare combine for September next year....

Seed merchants are running about to fill orders for spring before there’s nothing left in Europe.

Did any of ye ever shift a mobile home using a teleporter?
I was wondering if its possible to put up on a bale trailer with the teleporter? Can get extension forks. The chassis isnt the strongest on mobile homes, just worried about it
Got a price of a lad that shifts them using proper ramps etc n he's top dollar.
Shifting it 30 mile so better not put it on the hitch of the jeep!

Odelay

I’d say there would be a good chance of bending the chassis. Even just a few mm could compromise the joint sealing, could let damp into it.

I wouldn't chance it. There'd be a fair bit of weight overhanging both sides of the fork. The frame on them mobiles are very flimsy, and a dose of shaking would be bad news and could jeopardize the shell integrity.

Could you lift one end onto a trailer and get it to roll up the rest of the way as you lift the other end?

Hmm, it'd be game over if that happens.
I could make up a bit of a jig for the forks say 10 or 12 foot wide at work, that'd leave 9 or 10ft either side - less sagging I'd imagine?

We’re lucky with combine capacity. Harvesting from mid June all the way to end of October makes it easier and the climate is benign.
I’ve still got sunnies to harvest, well what’s left of them anyway...

I’d say that any of the wheat and barley that was planted into plough is goosed here. The mintill is fine so far.

I’d chance wheat until mid January if we get a window. That window would want to be fairly large though as the ground is saturated...irrigation lakes are filling surprisingly fast.

Anyone watching the worlds fastest tractor on c4 at the minute?
Just ruined in so missed the start of it.
It better have arms and a pto for it to be a tractor of any use!?!
