Anyone ever convert a drag trailer that’s on air brakes and suspension to hydraulic brakes? Looking to convert it to a bale trailer and tractor doesn’t have air. I’m thinking brakes couldn’t be too hard to convert but what about the suspension? Or could it work away without suspension?

Just leave the airbags deflated, there is a shock at each hub.
Are they disc brakes or drum brakes - drum are no bother to convert , disc are torture!

Any issues with stability when the air bags would be down?
Brakes are drum so I presume just put in a brake ram and hosing or is there more to it?

You can buy rams for handy enough money from Lynch Trailers in Cork

We've a twin axle bale trailer here like that, I never noticed any stability issues with it anyway

With a drag trailer would the drawbar not be up a couple of foot in the air, dunno how you hitch into it?

You would hear of lads using a cigarette lighter compresser to inflate the airbags.
If all the lines are well sealed its possible

Base price

My new toy. Stihl MS 170. I was looking for a smaller saw for a while as my old MS 250 is over 18 years old now. I had it in with a dealer this year getting a new muffler and he said that the compression is perfect in it. Still, great to have a smaller one for around the farm. At €245 delivered from Robert Kee in Donegal, you can't complain. A bit pissed off to see the 'Made by Stihl in China' though. I've a feeling it won't last as long as the MS 250.
12" bar and just 2 two-strokes oil and spanner with it.

Well wear.... I have a 039 here myself since 1998. It's a great saw, but I often felt like getting something lighter too. I have hardly enough work for one saw though......

I'm just curious, l thought you couldn't buy a stihl on-line, it was to cut out the sale of replicas. Could be wrong.

Don't know about that but maybe all the MS xx1 models etc are not made in China.
It's €275 now and I'm almost certain it was €235 2 days ago when I looked at it first. It was €245 when I ordered.

I'd say the best stuff has been picked over already, easier way to do fleet renewal and clear the accumulated stuff.

1999 6210 John Deere with 2226 hours. Thats 2 hours a week over it's lifetime. It does look very clean, to be fair.

Looks a genuine 2226 hours,not 12,226, from what's on view. It has the **** of a right hand shuttle though.

In saying all that, you wouldn't find me paying 26 k for a 20year old 6210 no matter how much somebody says it's a future classic.

Looks reasonable value to me. Far better than paying 26k for a high hours 10 year old machine in my view. It’ll sell to the right lad.

Id agree with you .
And another thing to think about is what a new equilivent would cost now . 70k ? It makes it look good value to that

IMO, one of the finest designs ever made.

It'd be a grand tractor apart from the right hand shuttle, it would be a fair dose using it along with a leader
