NO private sale, only bringing it home after collecting her, hardly had it 20 minutes,

being JD I guess the new owner got them to collect it

Be stupid not to have Comp insurance on it

They should still be responsible for whatever damage they done.....

Maybe the owner gave them permission to right it that way, luckily the driver was ok, just bruising and shock

Good to hear that the driver is ok. It must have been an awful shock for him/her.

On the topic of split brakes, OH always splits the brakes and I always join them. Our tractors (older models) would be used in and around the yard/farm and only one of them is insured for road use.

Why has class round balers like the 355 or 354 have such a bad name. It just came up in conversation today and just wondered what was the issue with them

Just unreliable and soft. Big problem with them is that the power to drive the rollers on the door is transferred across the machine through the roller on the very top. This causes the roller to collapse over time as the strain on the roller is huge. Used to have to replace either it, or the bearings or both often. Definitely once a season if baling a lot.

The floating rollers were a problem too, especially if baling a lot of straw or hay. The spinning material on the bale wears away the bottom of the gearbox on the mps unit and drains out or contaminates the grease leading to failure.

Good machine to take in stuff when it was going well but you’d always just be waiting for the next problem. No problem with the bales it made either if set up and driven properly with a decent swath of stuff in front of it.

Gone now though and not sorry.

his crowd would think they’re competition to local forage gang/contractor in our area. Not the first trailer to go, they reckon on passive steer axels blowing pipes which causes the axel to bring the unit over, between this and k2 trailers pushing the back door off on the compactor

I wouldn't be long losing faith in them trailers after seeing that - if I had one it'd be on done deal tonight!

Is there much of a market out there for used tractor tyres or would ya be wasting your time

selectamatic

Any of the somewhat in demand sizes sell pretty fast if they have any bit of tread left and are priced reasonably.

Dozer1

are you replacing them with tracks...a bit more of this rain and it might be necessary....

Always lads looking for a bargain, cousins of mine haven't bought new tyres for any tractor they have in years always 2nd hand as they're not on the road much

Reggie.

Want to put wider tyres on the rear for reseeding so if changing the back I'll change the front aswell. Might do it over the winter. About 60% thread left on them at least.

Oh they'll sell like hot cakes.
Friend changes with about 30% grip left and sells no bother and it contributes to the new set

You will have no problem selling them. We never bought new tyres for either the tractors or the 50b. We don't do any road work as the farm is in one block and my land in over the road. We prefer to buy ones with 40/30% left as they don't cut the ground as much.

A bit of advice - before you change them drop into a few tyre places and price what similar second hand tyres would cost. I've heard of guys buying new tyres from a supplier/fitter, leaving the old ones behind and the supplier/fitter selling them for anything from €100 each for ones with 20% left.

What size are they Reggie, after a set here. Partially worn suits here as we've mainly flat ground and some softer land too where new ones would do some ripping.

Hi there. I am trying to get a replacement log book for an old MF 165. Has been in the family for a few years and a nearby farm for donkey years before that and is 100% genuine. Old log book was thrown out by mistake. Motor tax office tell me that since no one knows the registration number they will be able to help if I get the chassis number. There is a small serial number plate above the steering wheel but its totally illegible so I cant obtain the number from that. Would it be anywhere else on the tractor ?
Can a chassis number be determined from the sets of digits emblazoned on the side of the gearbox above the clutch pedal (ending in M6) and again on each of the rear axles (ending in M1). Its a square axle from circa 1975 with the 212 engine.
If anyone else has any advice on getting a replacement book then I would be glad to hear it. TIA

Anyone have any idea about the above?

The rears would be nearly the same I'd say only slightly wider

would have to go to a 600 for a 65 profile and that would mean changing the outer rims. It would suit in some ground but the valtra wouldnt have the backend weight for 600's on dry ground.

Why would ya have to go to 600? Out of curiosity

To keep the ratio right?

Hey Reggie, how did you get on with the new malone mower this year?

Are you glad you changed?

Any issues?

None at all. Very happy with it. Would recommend no bother. Well able to shave the ground

Yes for Ratio's, can go 460/85, 520/70 or 600/65 to keep ratio's inline for the front 420/70/28's.

Something you need to be careful of when changing your's, but a good tire place will put you right, drop box ratio should be stamped somewhere on your Landini, it's inside the cabs of the JD or your dealer might be able to tell you off the spec sheet.

Already called to agrigear and got the sizes for her. It's one thing I never got my head around was tyre ratios

Just curious how much wider could you go before having to get a new rim? Assuming your going up to a 600?

@Reggie. How do you find the tuffmac dump trailer, I think I saw your landini on their Facebook page.
