Got it home in one piece. All set for pig slurry in the morning

Well wear, David.

Just seen a front linkage mounted rake on a tractor with a mchale baler. Serious weapon on the front of it.

Something like this, but longer when folded.

Are those air accumulators for brakes at the back? Standard?

What is the bit of piping on the LHS for between the arm and the accumulator/reservoir?

Whilst I'm being nosy, what are the orange, green and blue circular yokes either side of the top link?

-Because no one bothers to empty airtanks of water they now filter it to help reduce condensation build up on inside so takes more space for air tanks. Some brands now even squeeze fuel tanks into the gap around the rear wheels.
-Covers for the spools

After it’s first day of work. There’s a few slight differences to the old tractor. It’s about 6 inches higher than the old one. It’s a lot quieter in the cab, a bit quicker on the road. It has a twin turbo so the delay for the turbo is non existent. It really made a difference when I was facing the tractor and tank up a hill, it stayed pulling away. If you put the pto going and get up off the seat it will knock off. A bit of a pain if you forget.

Sounds good so far! How did you manage to fill the tanker if the pto stops when you leave the seat? I’d say that’s something that can be switched off or bypassed....

Yeah that's on the Massey here. A pain especially if agitating.
What I do is sit up off the set and turn on the PTO. It engages and stays going as you're not on the seat

Mechanic in Kohoes was only telling me the other day there is some easy way to override that, something about flicking the pto button twice?

Usually you’ve a little button nearby you can press once pro is running that lets you out. G2m if yours is a 5700 I’m sure you can turn it off with the 4 cross shaped button/dash menu facility?

That’s what I’m doing aswell. Had baling yesterday evening. Plenty of pto power when the bale is just ready. Usually the old tractor would start dying away just when the bale is ready, especially when going up a hill. The bits that were giving trouble on the old tractor on the engine and front axle have been changed. Plenty of floor space for gloves, rags and I have a small toolbox with bits and pieces. Only other small downside is the toolbox is smaller and the holder for my travel mug is blocked by the handle for the right hand side door ( first world problems). Waiting on my Bluetooth radio, fire extinguisher, seat cover and mat. Also getting a fitting for the backend for an airline.

Balls. I for 1 will be disgusted if Reggie took the nuclear option. Trolls here can be a bit much though. Top poster. Was thinking that he must be completely flat out that he wasn't posting. I'll have to get on twitter it seems....

Reggie is working on another project. Hopefully he'll post pics of it on here. He's in great form he was over here the other day

What was the trolling?
Last I seen he got annoyed with a discussion that started about the poor visibility of his rear indicators when the mower folded up.

To be fair that was not a poor reflection of him or his machinery but is a genuine concern with most of the manufacturers of mounted mowers. Maybe I'm missing something but it is a discussion forum.

I think it was the constant knocking of him by certain posters. Not that post in particular

Unfortunately there will always be some who are just jealous of his nice kit I suppose, but posting about your accomplishments on a forum will always bring good and bad attention.

You've to be prepared to defend every post and picture or explain your reasoning for it on it here most times. It does get tiring but an odd time you'll learn something new or see things from someone else's perspective.
Even it does mean when you post a picture of fencing and someone else posts that they saw similar fencing with posts knocked down and fencing rolled in a ball by cattle the next year.

Exactly, people have a tendency now to get annoyed and offended when you don’t agree with them

I hate machinery with a vengeance and driving tractors especially, so wouldn't be envious of anyones new toys.
And I wouldn't be jumping with joy at a christening party when someone produces the baby pics either.......... does that mean I'm jealous of not having a sprog of my own......I doubt it

I wouldn't be surprised if Reggie had proper lights on it already, probably just didn't like being told to do it
