We do it perfectly well on the south downs The method of applying the brakes is irrelevant its the actual drums and shoes fitted that make the difference Look under neath an air breaked silage or grain trailer and you will see the air piston and the hydraulic piston actuate the same leaver going into the brake drum for the s cam Therefore it is completely irrelevant which you use air just operates quicker And there are agricultural trailers on air with 4.5 inch brakes pads these would be worse for breaking than full width comercial drums with hydraulic pistons We run 10 trailers at work and the ones with lorry axles and hydraulic brakes stop great The ones with air and hydraulic that is standard on newer trailers is nothing like proper lorry breaking anyway

I would look for 120hp A johndeere 64-- is a very nice size tracto Air brakes are not the be all and end all of braking The width of the pads is important Id rather tow with hydraulic brakes and 9 inch pads than air powered 4.5 inch pads Also check that there is 2 brake pistons per axle as one is not enough And most 40 kph tractors wont have air anyway And small 50 kph tractors dont seem that common The brakes on tractors supply a constant flow of oil to the trailer line so if you feel the need for for more braking force add more pistons although thats probally a better idea on 9 inch brakes only 120 hp will also power a 3 meter flail mower with ease and take a verge mower without falling over if you look at these in future

The latest generation of jcbs are plastic lightweight junk honestly steer very clear of the new ones They are so light and plasticy and generally badly desighmed with cheap components imo would rather a class scorpion/kramer or a merlo of the new ones ive driven although do want to try schaffe and weiderman they look very nice but havnt driven them
-
But buying one thats been fitted with a loader chances are there will be significantly more wear to the front axle especially if a rear weight hasnt been used second hand loaders arnt that uncommon i cant remember the name of the company but theres one in farm trader always advertising them then just buy a new sub frame and fit yourself so long as the joystick isnt something massively complicated
-
Phone cherry engineering they seem to have everything for loaders

Just remembered a bloke i know is trading in his 60 isuzu with 70000on the clock tacho fitted 2.5 ltr the dealer offered him 8000 trade in so he said he would take anything more than that if you are not picky on male the mazda b2500 or the older rangers are the best value around followed by poverty spec hiluxs
-
Remember to try van trader aswell i find them ever so slightly cheaper on there but usually work spec
-
I was looking at these and checked several u.s sites they seem to rate them well until the weather gets cold seems there a harder rubber than bfg as every review i read rated them poor on ice
-
On the plus side of 3 tons for the hookloader atleast the boss bought one and the 2.8 tonne telehandler wouldnt pick it up then the bodies are heavier than a normal trailer body i reckon our one with one of the low bodys on it must be around 10 tonne and is of much lighter construction than some and then you have at least 2 tonne of crain leaving you very little carrying capacity

If your doing a lot of road work it may be worthwhile getting a torneo cover to go over the back tub just a soft one that can be thrown on before or motorway journey as this will help with fuel consumption
-
Hyundai are also releasing one and the we will see if mahindra and foton bring there offerings here also see if the holden colarado is realeased here under a different name
-
If its a drain off pipe and your tractor hasnt got a return to tank already plug it into a spare spool and put the spare spool on float should work correctly the direct returns ive seen on tractors have all been very big fittings so would require adapters
-
Apparently the blades are expensive and time consuming to replace and easily broken if foreign objects go through it as opposed to traditional drum shredders where the flails fold away and spit foreign objects out

Whats acc?

Hi was wondering if anyone could help heading to new Zealand shortly for a few months work and was wondering whats the best place for insurance that will cover all the stuff that I doubt holiday insurance would and how much would you be looking at for 6 months cover Cheers
-
even if you changed the type to ag it would still require plating from jcb to tow without which would lead you into some serious problems would be no different from towing a trailer thats to big for a pickup and so on plus i bet the plated weight of a 3cx barely covers machine operator and buckets let alone adding a trailer and lets face it if it where the best option the utility companies would be onit
-
If u have the time putting a breaked trailer axle on a tw125 might be a good bet especially if u can find an electronic braked axle like the yanks use would give you a bit more control down hill
-
The 75m offering from green mech or timber wolf would be ur best bet there small and light but still have hydraulic feed rollers used the entec version and was really impressed it had been well looked after and just kept going surprisingly quickly for a little petrol engine
-
i know there safe enough and more than capable of it but are they actually plated to tow anything if not vosa could stick there oar in the 2cx machines should be as the airmaster has a clevis hitch but dont know iif the 3cx is could also void insurance in an accident if not plated to tow
-
Open doors put a big fan in and stop frequently to go outside for a few minutes my dad had one in his living room for a day and didn't seem to worried also have spent days running telehandlers in sheds with little ventilation occasionally u can feel a bit rubbish but just stand outside for a bit and have a drink but rarely seems to happen
-
For working in I have a tweed hoodie i got at a country show quite warm but very waterproof and so much more comfortable than anything else I have tried maybe a bit hot for climbing but with just a shirt underneath is comfy most the time I tend to wear a coat until I get warm then take it off put it in the truck so its something warm to pull on when you stop
-
there definitely not cheap but are nice tools my main socket set is carolus which is the brudget brand of carolus and in my opinion still puts snapon to shame for thoose that like quality tools tryn this site PrimeTools.co.uk
-
U can get cheap ones just look at the tooth count snapon are 80teeth 70 are quite common but most are around 30 personally I like the low tooth count feel more reasured that there engaged and wont let go and hit knuckles If you want proper quility sahlwhille or gedore are the best Personally I dislike snapone sockets and prefer them to have the drive end of the socket turned down it makes them fit in some spaces easier
-
As said lithium complex I prefer the red stuff as u can see it easier so dont seem to get covered init accidentally unlike the uncoloured ones that seem to end up everywhere
