We're meeting checkpoints every day now, don't know if buying a tractor is a valid excuse.
I had a dog with the vets for three days last week and for a checkup this morning, Brought in on wednesday, home on Saturday and today and was stopped everytime, in and out

Yeah, I dont know myself to be honest Wrangler...

I'll see how we're fixed towards the end of the week...

Brought OH to Tullamore last week for a checkup and we were stopped twice on the way to and back. I headed home to NCD on Thursday evening and returned to Longford Friday midday and I didn't see a squad car let alone a checkpoint.

It was on the news today that the guards issued 30 fines in Longford so they're working near you somewhere

That's only for roadbridge off to the side of the airport on a site. Not really the international airport where the flights do be.

I'd get sick at the thought of what you're doing......... hate driving tractors.
Shortly after retiring a neighbour asked me to draw grain with a 2 yr old fendt and I declined,

Takes allsorts to make a world, some people thrive on that sort of pressure, he only branched into that at the building of the M6. Soil stabilisation is a big thing with him now. the tractor at that could be 450hp

I run an amazone. What ya need to know?

What ya mean ya have springs?

When I set the depth with the rabe I tighten 3 coil springs each side. When I hit a stone the Harrow hops, aided by the springs so the gears, tines etc doesn’t get the full force of the bang.

It’s a onepass I’m interested in. What model are you running?

I'm running an amazone 3000 KG. She runs off the back roller. You set your depth using pins.

might be in the market for a 10x6 tipping trailer and looking at a few websites I see some manufacturers with the hinge point of the back door higher than the sides. What's the advantages or disadvantages of this type of design?

Load dosen't get caught in the back door as easily while tipping, especially clay. I've bent the back door on mine while tipping wet clay as the whole load moved at once and caught the door, not an issue with looser materials though

I draw farmyard manure with my trailer and it won't come out under the tailboard, so I was thinking of hingeing it higher up, someone might have thought of it before me,

Allows door to lift higher so grass won't stick in the door also Allows trailer to tip higher before it catches on the ground.

More swing on the tailboard. Stops what ever is being tipped getting stuck in the tailboard. Had to sort trailer here with the same problem after tailboard ripped off when with a load of slig

you got there before me, I've seen tailboards hinged on one side in my travels, it hinges right around and is caught on an antiluce on the side board while your tipping

I knew a man that was killed with a tail board like that. The load had shifted and he used a hammer to knock out the pins holding the door closed. The door swung and hit him on the side of the head.

Same in rabe but you adjust spring so that full weight of Harrow isn’t sitting on the pin. I’m not big into machinery and presumed all makes would be sprung somehow. Liked a 2nd hand Amazon onepass I looked at last week I was a bit thrown when I saw no spring. Asked around since and amazone are well rated. Yours a straight Harrow or is there a seeder on it?

I've an are seeder on top of it for reseeding. The rabe is the only harrow I've seem with springs on it. Amazone, kuhn, KV are all just pins

:rolleyes: no dealings with him in years but him and a lad I use to work for were in business together , I drove one of their tractors & Ollie trailer on the Self propelled outfit mr 40 year posts was involved with at the time. and sometimes go back to Ollie if they were on a long draw. That 2002 I think he was moving from the MF 6290 to the JD 6910 at the time

It's a guttler. Yeah I'm happy as it's a simple robust design. Had an APV aswell one time which I liked aswell.

APV had more electronics but was more versatile

I'm upgrading my tank from a 1300 to a 1600, was gona buy a second hand one on done deal but see alot of rust on the back of abbey ones, is it just visual or are they a weaker tank, lads keep telling me tractor tyres are better on the hills, do you need different rims? Do the galvanise tanks keep better on the inside also?
