Not having driven one whats the issue with the right hand shuttle? Also, whats the black thing beside the spool levers?

Just a pain in the hole moving the hand from the loader controls to the shuttle lever. But ya'll get used to it and wouldn't slow ya down much after a short spell operating it.

If it's the little black blocks in the slots, they are just stoppers to prevent ya putting the lever up in float position if that's what ya fancy.

Have you a harrow for the front, my nephew had one of the first guttlers in the country and it was poor until he put the harrow on the front linkage, Adrian elliot designed the Harrow for the front (I think)

I've wasted more grass seed on my tine harrow than would reseed a farm......what a waste.
A neighbour used a Guttler in bad conditions this year and it looks great

Both have thier advantages. Only reason I'm trading the tine harrow in is because I cant afford to hold onto it. Would love to keep it as I find it a great piece of kit.

Is there something out of balance?

Over tightened with air gun in factory I reckon washers are bent downwards on the 3 bolts that where left in it, bolts seem very short for the size of gearbox its holding and pressure that would be on it....
Gearbox had 4 litres to much oil in it when I got it first day, so a serious space cadet must of been working on it in factory

I don't know. I had the exact same thing happen a topper after the blade went out of balance and the rubber doughnut failed.

It all depends on how many of your clothes you're willing to take off:rolleyes:
Watched twenty seconds of that farmer phil clip, couldn't watch any more. Who wants to listen to a lad waffling on about a feckin Mini.

I'm not really sure but depends if you have adds on your channel Google says you get paid 18e oer thousand views and Google keeps 45% of that, so a little over 9e per 1000 views. Farmer Phil has over 2.5m views on all his videos so he could have earned €22,500 from YouTube

He was cute enough copying the English lad, Tom by getting the two ole chaps involved, you can see as time progresses with his videos how they have started to buy into it, at the start they reckoned he was stone mad I'd say
