Nope as the saying goes. "Farmers buy retail and sell wholesale". We both know the argument about producing food abroad, it's the BS co2 argument. All because you don't produce it they feel all warm and fuzzy, whilst we still have grass that needs to be eaten.

Fresh plant trailer... anything better than the ifor gh1054?

They do smaller tho and atleast you can buy direct. -
Well they won't stop growing food, they will however be forced to do one of two things. 1. Increase prices to pay for the fertiliser. 2. Increase prices but sacrifice yields, which would mean using more land to get the same amount of crop. It's almost as nonsensical as regenerative farming, it not regenerative it low input farming. Put simply you're just farming livestock on a larger amount of land.

They'll be suggesting an honesty box for donations and every farmer standing at the gates asking for customer feedback like those charity chuggers

What about the Bateson PT76 20x7ft tilting trailer. -
Same here regarding subsidies, including stewardship etc. Paperwork would be more hassle than it's worth when you also factor in the restrictions it forces you to abide by. I would factor the subsidies argument, if it was paid directly for maintenance of say the public footpaths, gates, hedgerows etc. Dyson is another if recipient, I'm sure he owns most of Lincolnshire.
-
Probably hates Clarkson but will happily sit and listen to all the over sensationalised America gold garbage. We've hit the biggest load ever etc, then you realise they've found a lost gold ring at the mall!
-
Plus the subsidies they also get, makes them even more money
-
That was a decent deal when I did it, six months and it'll be everything to play for. It is sky q with multi room, around 80mbps
-
£90.50 for sky fibre, phone and TV including Netflix and movies. Don't watch sport so never pay for that
-
I've said it before but let those who believe the world is burning pay more. Have a tariff for those that want to pay and we'll see how quickly the support falls flat. It's the elec/gas version of everyone is picky about firewood they're cold!.

Vodafone and talk talk were shockingly poor when we had a warehouse.
-
A question comes to mind, practically every council house has solar panels especially in my neck of the woods. Does the tenant benefit in any way from these, as I've seen horror stories about they're bills being even worse after they were fitted.
-
Everyone will be going VOIP soon enough, getting rid of the dial tone allows them to gain a lot of internet speed and probably means less infrastructure like old style exchanges. BT are rumoured to be standarding the products as they own EE & Plus Net. I've stuck with sky, but waiting to see how the streaming stuff like Now TV and all the others works out.
-
Knowing BT, the price. Sky fibre isn't too bad, but the TV is a lot of crud. But they include Nextflix and watch that more than Sky.

Tractors just have a one speed pump older tractors were around 140bar, power packs around 240+ as they are built to run hydraulic pumps so you can afford to swap to a larger pump as 2000 psi is 140bar. Two stage pumps are more aimed at petrol due to the screaming rpm, if your running a diesel at 40lpm 1/2" lines are fine. It all starts to become a rabbit hole of calculations etc, been there including all the engine calculations. I use a hatz 1D81C 667cc diesel, 14cc pump so around 30lpm at 140 bar, it runs around 2300 rpm. Whilst I'd love to buy an upgrade 40lpm powerpack that might be something for next year, swap the pump and it'd be well over 60lpm. (40lpm @ 240 bar = 20cc X 2300 / 60lpm @ 160 bar = 27cc X 2300) I can run mine on a gallon a day, slow and steady and no hearing protection, I can even hear my phone ringing!.
-
Looking at your original tractor you'll want around 45lpm. A belle diesel would be around 20lpm. Something larger like a diesel power pack 40lpm. Whilst you'll have to spend say 2.5k, it's self contained, simple and not much larger than the splitter. I use a hatz hydraulic pack, swapped the 240bar pump and got more flow at 160bar.
-
Disconnect the oil sensor and see if it sparks. The engine is just the power source, all the complicated stuff like the feed controls and safety stuff controls the hydraulics feed. Think of it as a glorified lawnmower and just follow the wiring.
-
I did it on a Leyland for a while, personally I'd get a small diesel hydraulic power pack and keep the old beasty tucked up in the shed. There's a belle diesel on eBay for 400
-
Are you sure the oil level switch is ok ?. As that would ground the spark plugs. What model honda or Briggs engine ?
-
Not exactly true, if it doesn't meet regs they can report them to the local council. Which they have admitted to not having a install certificate making it illegal. Which also nulls the home insurance and makes them liable if the place and adjoining property gets damaged. And if they are in a smoke control area, that would be a possible £1k fine every time it smokes and having to rip out a non compliant appliance.
-
As with everything start simple. Check fuel is getting from the tank to the carburettor, take the hose off if there is a tap or something upstream and make sure it flows If it is, clean the carburettor. Solenoid shutoff might have a problem internally or elsewhere, best to ohm meter and see if the switch circuit opens and closes. Guessing it's a GX630, they do also have a low oil level cut off which would prevent it firing up.
-
Or possibly the solenoid valve is blocked. If it runs when spraying something flammable into the air intake it limits your search for the problem
-
Think people are going to to ask for more detail, diesel/petrol, does it crank etc
-
Same size as the outlet or larger, you can't go smaller. But get someone registered to sort it, it's not worth the aggravation with building control and or dying.
