    Not cheap I agree. Have the hooks on the fiat, they're a great job, if the balls start falling out of the 5000 the hooks are being welded on instead.

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    Never even realised you could retro fit these, cheers for the tip. Although as good as I think I can weld Ill be leaving this job to a pro!

    Not cheap. .. but what price should a farmer put on his safety? This is on my list of things to do this summer on my own tractor. Everytime l am wrestling with an implement l curse my tractors balls... and vow to cut them off..... with an angle grinder!!..... :D

    It's a case of me getting them before they get me. Crush zones are a major cause of farm accidents. Hooks should be on the next farm safety campaign, after pto covers.

    On the subject of pto shafts.... could they be done away with altogether and replaced with hydraulic motors? Or why can this not be done by machinery manufacturers?

    This setup with a hydraulic pump on the tractor and a motor on the implement is very inefficient when compared to a PTO shaft. You'd get a big drop in HP from the tractor to the implement. Could be as much as a 30% loss in power. That energy loss is through the generation of heat, so that heat has to be dissipated with a cooler.

    Can be used for vacuum pumps, lighter things liked that. More expensive though.

    I came across this article on a device fitted to sows to stop them laying on bonhams and the guy developed most of it himself by guntering.

    Looking for ideas to keep a trailer secure. Have no sheds so will have to keep it outside. There's a main road runs past us so needs to be locked up. Going to cut off a towing ball and put it in and lock it in the hitch. Was also thinking a bollard into the ground just behind the hitch into that space. Lock it and would be hard got at and they'd have to get trailer lifted up over it. Any other good locks for hitches out there

    I use something like this, it's very visible but nothing is 100%.
    Probably a wheel clamp in conjuction with that would be good

    You should consider blocking it in with a tractor trailer or some machinery...if they see it takes time to move these they will think twice about stealing it. Its all about making it hard for the thieves.

    Any joy lab man?

    If you scroll down when you are typing a reply you'll see a blue box 'manage attachments' click on it,
    a new window opens.
    Maximise it as it is small

    Then click on 'choose file'
    select the picture you want. (You'll get options where to look in your pc)
    Jpeg is easiest
    Then click upload.

    Get back to me if you're still having problems.

    I block them with a slurry tanker. Pain in the hole when I want it myself though.

    Heard they started plucking them out from over walls with hiabs to overcome clamps and locks! A towbar bolted/welded to a wall/pillar and lock trailer on it..

    One of the slatted tanks was very full and no time or bare ground to spread on. Quickest solution is to pump it across to other tank. Pump doesnt have a top fill facility. Two 6" 90°bends (one fitted over the nozzle )and 20ft of wavin pipe and we had slurry flowing. 10 min with tractor at around 1200 rpm shifted around 22kgals.

    My timing is wrong. Should be closer to 20 mins. Not 10.
