    Could you have a long latch handle that could be opened by sticking your arm in one of the side flaps, so you can open it from outside the trailer? But that would only work for the likes of your ifor williams trailer. Would be hard to design something that's moveable as your only fixing points are at the side of the trailer, if you cut your dividing gate 2ft in and welded on hinges for another gate and had a drop pin so the 2ft part couldn't be shoved on top of you is all i can think of.

    Don't fancy breaking my arm opening it from outside.

    Point is that the manufacturers should have a solution designed into the trailer and it should not be up to me or a bit of rope to safely unload animals that are behind an internal dividing gate.

    There are warnings printed on the sides of Ifor Williams trailers warning against sticking your arm in to unlatch a gate, for good reason!

    A square frame locked against body top and bottom at both sides.

    Within this frame is a door 50% to 75% of the frame width. I open the door and can stand in the wedge shape behind the door when cattle unload. Won't be massive amount of space, but enough to stop the person getting trampled.

    I rather chance opening the gate and standing behind it or legging it out in front of them than putting my arm in through the side vent. That's a recipe for misfortune imo, even a quiet cow turning and putting her arse to the gate just as you unlatch it would be enough to end up with your arm in plaster.

    At least with the likes of Porter, Tuffmac, Hudson ect there's a bolt with a handle keeping the dividing gate closed so you could put a rope on it and try to pull it from the opposite side provided the spring wasn't too strong or the gate sagging. The system of catches that are on the Ivor Williams dividing gate are a real balls of a job and could only be operated from inside. Not only that but there not even strong enough for big cattle in my experience and tend to pop open when under pressure.

    Hi lads and lassies. I remember seeing at the last innovation stand at the last Tullamore show, 2019 I think. The guy who won it had made an attachment to go between your loader and your bucket to convert it to a bucket grab. Kind of like an adaptor plate with a grab bolted on top. Does anyone know did the guy start making them or did any company buy it off him?

    Lads invested in a 10 yr old jcb 310s loader, anyway the piping for the quick attach and opening closing of bale carrier are off the same pipes while theres a button to turn on/off quick attach. Seems tho it's hard to release pressure to take off bale handler. Is there any quick tips to release pressure so I can yoke on and off easier

    Leave grab open a tiny bit, turn off machine and wiggle the open/close grab, should release pressure, it would for a tractor.

    Yea, maybe just switch on ignition as well to run the solenoids, then hit the buttons. Should release then

    Did a search online for you as I'm bored

    Apparently there is an accumulator for 3rd service and hydraulic quick attach that fails and can cause this problem.

    Question for tillage farmers, I see fields of stubble where one run has been made with discs or a tiller of some sort approximately 30 or 40 ft part, what is the purpose of this? Has it something to do with compaction of tramlines?

    Anyone any experience with Turner woodchipers or other pto chippers of this era? Common problems, failure points etc.

    Or are they simply not worth the hassle and consigned to history with modern machines being superior?

    Had someone ask me about this machine but I've zero experience.

    Couple of things I don't like, the drum is belt/chain drive, not directly driven by the pto.

    In feed hopper is at a slope downwards

    H&S?

    On the + side it has hydraulic feed rollers. You won't buy anything new in that price range with hydraulic feed.

    Do a google of arbtalk+turner+chipper

    Looking to get something similar myself had you much bother finding a 310 and was it pricey ?

    On your problem of pressure , open pins on quick attach switch off engine . Switch on key till dash lights are on but don't start , wiggle joystick and press all buttons . Also do this before trying to attach an element

    Clean low-houred 310s are like hens teeth, was trying to change the telehandler here and the likes of a 320s with 4000 hours on it have gone up in price by 15000-20000 in the past year

    Ya mine Is very clean but with over 8k hours, that's why the money wasnt too bad. I think a new 310 could be north of 120 inc vat atm

    Turn off the loader and switch back on ignition and toggle the 3rd service button on the joy stick

    it would release the pressure

    Kev don't ever be tempted to power hose it, water and electrics in JCB stuff just don't agree.

    I traded the 245 in against an ex demo Massey baler. Our Lely was giving electrical issues last year and this year. We tried a lot of different things including a new ECU which didn't fully solve the problem. There was a few noises coming out of it also.


    We decided to go with massey which is based on a Lely. I demoed a John Deere. A fine machine, all bet it was the price.

    Well wear David, they’re a good baler and make a bale to match any fusion bale. On my second Fendt baler here, the first being the exact same as the 245 you traded in, the second one would be the same as the Massey you just bought.

    What sort of hitch is on yours? The red eye of the hitch in the picture seems very long compared to mine?

    No they don’t have the option yet. I’ve been told there’s a retrofit unit supposed to be in testing now that will be available for next season and will be able to be fitted into existing balers.

    When I bought the Lely. I got the dealer to adjust the towing eye so it can be pulled using the hook hitch. I also got them to put a stand on it like a McHale. The towing eye was taken off the Lely and put onto the Massey. I sprayed it grey since taking the photo
