What would you use that for Reggie - like, what would be on the back when that’s on the front? The guttler yoke is it?

WTF

To rephrase that.
Teasing new machinery to a bunch of mostly male machinery enthusiasts and not giving any details, many of whom i'm sure would fit the description of also enjoy the sight of what their tastes consider to be a pretty female in suitable attire for said purpose is unappreciated. Personally i feel the only female worth giving any such attention too is a lady I know as Ellie, with whom i'm currently side by side in bed and is rocking a titillating cotton t-shirt/pj bottoms combination.

Is your cultivator for tilting up the ground ahead of you rake-seeder or powerharrow, could it go in unworked grass sod?

Can use it with the guttler greenmaster in sprayed off ground or cultivated ground and also in front of the powerharrow in uneven cultivated ground. Kinda level off the ground before the powerharrow

Serious bit of kit, I definitely wouldn't like anything less than the weight of a power Harrow on the back with it.

Shes roughly 500kg. Shes needs almost that to carry the guttler or powerharrow

Suppose now that I think of it, it's a good bit less than a loader and bale of silage.
Will be interesting to see how you get on with it.. More useful than a tray of lead on the front rack that's for sure anyway

If I have to carry something up front it may aswell be useful

Took a ram off the loader and dropped it in to get a new seal put in. Got charged €100 for the pleasure. Seems steep to me. What do ye think?

Might not be too bad. The seal itself might not be expensive but getting the ram open is the trick.

Any prices from the Bord na Mona auction today?

Just wondering if we have any local knowledge on how this auction went?

Anyone on here know much about this - clear plastic bale wrap:

Fair enough if that’s near the run of things

Seems about the going rate.
Got seals in rams of a shear grab, and was charged nearly €200.
They had to weld bits to the end caps, and use heat to get them off, but still...

Very fair if it’s done right.

Paid 80 for a forklift seal. If I'd known the hardship getting it out and in of the forklift I'd have left it leaking....

Really pays to be able to do you own bit of wrenching. Half the day today putting 4 rubber mountings into engine and transmission of a farm master. Dread to think what a garage would charge. Putting pto shaft into a deere 6900 now. The labour bill would mount up fairly rapid.

I tried it a few years back and didn't think much of it. It was a brittle hard plastic
that didn't like too much handling. It also allowed a green mold to grow underneath which in my opinion had nothing to do with the quality of the crop inside. It is also very visible from a long way off so does not really blend into the surrounding landscape.

Local merchant here tried selling that round these parts some years back. mustn't have taken off.don't see it now at all. never seen much wrong with the black wrap.

if it aint broken, why attempt to fix it.

Apparently, the benefits are at the recycling stage as black plastic can only be used to make recycled black products. Whereas the clear stuff can have a dye added and therefore has more uses.
There was even talk of some recyclers not charging for taking in the clear stuff.
The manufacturers were citing a few benefits, one of which was the if selling the bales you could look and see what state the bale was in.

Anyone an idea of what weight of a weight block you could safely add to front of a MF4355 without causing problems to front axle down the line. Getting a 1.5T spreader and want to counter balance it for a few steepish fields.

A new to me purchase arrived yesterday. I'll post a picture when it's out working.

Will you have 1.5 tonne in the spinner when going up the high fields? Otherwise a dull set of weights would do. 500kg? And just put in a tonne going up the high fields.

I suppose that's a good compromise alright, I presume 500kg wouldn't be too much on front axle?

I would imagine you would be fine with no weights and a 500kg bag going up the steep hill. You would be ok with a tonne and no weights on Flatish round. Then about 500kg weights going up a steep hill with a tonne and 500kg weights on the Flatish ground witha 1.5 tonne in the spinner. You will need to judge yourself. You can take off all the weight a if you don't need them in the autumn once the very date is finished and leave them off until Feb when you will be spreading again.
