I reckon its a bad design on the masseys. Front axle looks very weak on them

Imagine that happening at any kind of speed...

Just tore the front axle off the massey- was hauling slurry and had to pull into the ditch as a neighbor reversed out onto the road

I know it's a serious cost, but in the general scheme of things if you, your neighbour and any passengers are OK a front axle is repairable.
Now if the neighbours a decent sort they will admit liability.

What size Massey was it?
Depends on the mood of the assessor. They could rule that tractor was not being driven at a speed which allowed driver to react to such a thing happening - i.e. did not anticipate the danger.
You would like to think that the ruling would be fully against the driver reversing out, but probably depends on sight lines and whether the tractor could have seen anticipated or the car coming out.
Could well end up a partial liability on both of them.

Who knows - good luck Stan - hope it works out for you.

If you have comprehensive insurance it might be covered

Local to me but have dealt with Garrihy without any bother. Few bits went under warranty too and there was no problem getting it fixed. Probably wouldn't be the cheapest though.

If there is an insurance claim then I reckon the insurance assessor will be looking at the slurry tanker size V tractor combination and if the brakes were operational on both.

AFAIK it is only an offence to reverse onto a road with a continuous white line - most minor/side roads don't have them.

Is there anywhere in Ireland that specialises in hydraulic hoses? Not like your local machinery parts man. Got quoted £250 plus vat for a second hand hydraulic pipe. Looks like this.

Google hydraulic lyons. He may not be the cheapest however but if Jimmy there can't get you sorted you might be as well buy the 2nd hand one.
Edit to ask what it's off?

From the car perspective:
One should only enter onto a road if it safe to do so.
Reversing when entering onto a road would not inspire you. Loads of people get planning on the basis of having sightlines and in some cases have to cut back hedges to maintain the sightlines

From the tractor perspective.
Size of tractor
Size of tanker and loaded or not

May be a matter for the insurance companies to sort out if no one accepts liability.

What we don't know is whether the car pulled out right before the tractor came along. Then another big mark against the car driver

The Dublin training would have been an ideal April fools joke. The best in years in the circumstances

31 counties woke up in outrage, completely ignoring the fact their own counties just hadn’t been caught of course

Bad taste all right, you’d wonder about people at times...

Still, takes all sorts though I suppose...

Couldn't be any worst than a Lely single disk spreader we once had.
As much fertilizer in the cab as on the field...

Used to be a little single disc one here back in the day for a few years. Some no-name brand. I can't remember the name anyway. It would leave lovely stripey fields of grass. I'd say it threw out double the fertiliser on one side than the other. Probably would have looked great in aerial photographs.

Garrihy wouldn't be the best for after sales service unless you are local to him.

Have no info on O'Briens

O'Briens in Mayo were Landini agents for years. They sold plenty of them, along with used tractors. The son opened another branch in Sligo, and later got the New Holland agency. They sell New Holland from both locations now. They should be sound enough to deal with....

The steel bung on one side of the roller is seized and cannot be opened. Tried everything to open it; blow torch, WD40, every wrench imaginable, even the local garage tried it with the airgun, all to no avail. Only solution I can think of now, is to cut open a sizeable hole in through it and try to remove the remnants of the bung from inside out. Would this damage the threading? Any other ideas? (Yes, I greased it when filling.)

Weld a nut onto it.

Bought a torch like this to loosen tines on a loader.

You could try trying to turn it while someone strikes the nut with a sledge hammer.

The shock may help loosen the threads
