  2. That is the norm these days on modern tractors ,,,just make sure you use the correct spec of oil ...ie. Hy Tran or Hy Guard which is purposely made for transmission/hydraulic systems that use the same sump . Typical systems like A Case 4230 uses same oil all round including the brakes,steering and clutch reservoirs which are topped up automatically. Ste
  3. If its any consolation i am in a similar situation with pain ie can only sleep on one side if i do get to sleep , my left arm/hand/knuckles lock in the winter and my back i have to hang of the stairs bannister to stretch my spine to relieve the pain . Again like yourself i had a big paper round has a kid (pig farm) so i was battered from a early age now 47 . So this year i set out to reduced the repetitive chores in my job (garden maintenance/tree work and fencing). Invested in Cordless saws/hedge cutters and long reach to save the poor shoulder and knackered elbows from playing Roller Hockey! Again invested in 2 new mulching mowers Toro 30" and the Viking this alone knocked 5 hours of my round and reduced the repetitive grass box scenario. Next on the list was fencing.....simple one that. ....Dont do fencing anymore and my back is tremendous again It is possible to work something out that will help in the long and i now spend more time with the family and i ache a lot less too .

  5. Because said field needs to be put back to grass and I have postponed till now has residents of the estate are complaining and I for one totally agree with your comments but I have no choice or another contractor swoops in and starts rocking the boat on the whole estate I look after . There is a 8 acre plot next door to This in exactly the same which is to be left alone . Steering wheel play lol ....no hands on steering wheel is reason. . Ste
  6. Gave the mower a good test on this today and faired very well considering the mess . Yanmar 1810 21hp and power shuttle box coped well and I kept a close eye on temperature gauge and stayed the same has using the old finishing mower, admittedly I did not drop mower down completely has I did on previous field . Ste

  10. Customer rings to ask were are you , I did say afternoon and it was 1 O'clock and I arrive at job 5 mins later to find 2 cars parked up the path and side gate locked and crap up side entry .........got to be my biggest pet hate that . Ste
  11. I have spent most of my working life working alone whether it be Feeding pigs ,Baling,Combine , underneath a tractor , inside a Concrete mixer BUT NOW I am very wary after all the accidents and near misses I have had so these days on small tree jobs and hedge cutting etc I strike a deal with my private jobs that someone is in and do a discount on the Job .....some may laugh but it's better than employing some half wit . No offence to the decent workers out there . Ste

  19. Turbo !!!!! Who need's a Turbo ,get shut and keep it simple and buy a big daft Yank tank like my Ford F350 superduty Petrol with no Turbo . People laugh at me about fuel costs but it has never been near a garage in 8 years of me owning it and 150,000 later and can fit a compact tractor on it bed .. LOL Ste
  20. One man band and i try and get a dozen short weekend trips in me caravan a year ,10 day break in the sun and standard 3 weeks off at Christmas,am 47 and spent most of my life shovelling pig sh.t on the family farm and never had proper hols up to the age of 30 do I try my best having time with my kids and the Mrs now .....

  22. Hi Garden kit , do you think that Weibang have sourced parts from other mower manufacture's to help with the Once spares crisis ? Ste
  23. I am intrigued....has a Lawn mower GEEK (sad yes I am ) there are many parts off the Hayter or I should say COPIED..example the rear roller carrier/roller ,the blade mounting system (crank protection) the chain guard , front vents but the gearbox is different apart from the gearbox support bearings and mountings are Hayter . I like Hayters but they are no good for fortnightly cutting and are good fine cut lawn mowers . Ste
  24. Sourcing parts is diabolical and quicker using pigeon post from Japan ,had them tried them and gave up with Weibang long time ago ,took my dealer 3 weeks for a blade . Even the dealer packed in selling them . Ste
