He's probably got rsi from all the drum beating and door knocking for Kamala. Be even more interesting to see how badly people like him turn on their own and eat themselves alive in the aftermath. Or how much the media have backed themselves into a blind alley, I suspect there might be a bit of a media dumpster fire ahead.

Ignore whatever you want, but I'll think you'll find I'm not far from being correct. Dangerously wrong!, are you actually taking the proverbial.
-
Bit impractical as you'd need two. More likely it's not got a case drain and the valve block handles both forwards and reverse, effectively acts like a isolation tap and uses the weight and tracks as the dead weight.
-
Case drain I guess, plus hydraulics pumps don't form a complete seal internally and does bypass ever so slightly so always expect a little movement. The big boy forestry ones a think have a clutch setup to prevent that creep.
-
Doubt it has a reduction planetary gearbox, just relying on pure low capacity hydraulic grunt from pressure at 210-300 bar. There's a calculator somewhere, plus it depends if it's a standard pump or a piston type. Two hoses are in & out, smaller is just case drain back to the tank. You'd be surprised how simple a lift assist cylinder is on a tractor, but two of those is 3-6 ton depending on model.

Wishing to pick yer brains re a "new-to-me" tractor.

Fastrac are a bit marmite, great for agri hauling, not so great for fieldwork as the rear visibility is awful. -
Isn't it something to do with naptha content of petrol, bit like easy start ?.
-
I've been in a b&q once or twice, what's the difference except not being able to leave ?

Do those rates come with the gf experience as someone is getting the shaft.

Whilst Dyson is obviously using the profits to buy farmland, by all accounts he does spend a lot on maintenance and building and equipment. Probably as it's advantages tax offset wise, but all that is part of a company not a small farmer down the road.
-
No, Hoovers were awful, unless you wanted that airline ticket. Dyson are pretty good

Glad to see your sitting at the back.

Nice little bonfire sounds like a plan.

Plus realistically, if IHT only came about 30 years ago. Then they would have bought post WW2 when most farms were effectively government controlled during dig for victory. As if you didn't produce they effectively kicked you off for the duration of the war.
-
Most farmers pass on to the next generation, it's not as though they financially gain especially in today's farming market. Big numbers and very small profit, oh but you need a 600k combine. Well they do, to get it all in without it spoiling during a tiny time window. To then blame Clarkson is a bit daft, if he sold up and left agriculture that's a different matter and not the same as passing it down.
-
What's the model, I'm sure someone will have a idea.
-
Noooo, that's only when it's the magic smoke!. Bearings are just making it lighter
-
It might be distracting BS, but that isn't going to help anyone right now is it!. A farm is a workplace, imagine going in Monday to find your boss is dead and they want a few hundred grand or home you go unemployed. Be interesting to see what thieves husband says about the matter, he works at DEFRA.
-
Gearbox would be my guess. Unless it's a pole type then drive shaft would be first thing to check.

How much do you think your average farmhouse costs and say a small 60x45 shed and that's before any livestock building ?. Debt, yes machinery is deducted but depending on if you're arable or livestock. A combine is 300k+, a decent new tractor 40-150 excluding machinery. So yes even under 50 will be in the million range, not necessarily loads but enough to make you say why should I bother.
-
The reason why farmers are understandably very narked off is the low threshold if they died with many suggesting a more pragmatic 5m or a 10 year holdover if taken out of agriculture. As it stands the total value includes land, buildings, any and all equipment including tractors and farmhouse. With you're average profitable farm being 200+ acres, it would even hit your average small scale farmer below 50 acres that also works outside of the industry to make it work. And before you suggest selling at a peanut rate, that's not possible either.
-
Think that might need a little context, surely the noise would be for on the farm it's being built upon. Not several miles down the road?. As you'd be buggered in any urban place near a motorway or road.

Just think if John Delorean hadn't moved that coke from south of the borders, we could have pick-up trucks made of stainless steel that lasted forever 🙂

Have the Slovakians kept the same level of oil leakage on the defender ?.
