Anyone use a Sealey battery greaser? Seem well priced but would I just be better off splashing out on a better model?

Don't know. You normally need to invest in battery stuff for it to not break your heart. I have a dewalt one because it is all dewalt battery stuff I have. At least there is always a fully charged battery there.

I bought it to replace an old Macnaught K29 that was worn out to hell. I really miss not being able to know the implement is greased by the resistance on the handle. It is a godsend for greasing a loader or baler, but crap for PTO shafts.

Got an email from Irish garage equipment advertising an Induction bolt heater. Looks a good yoke. Anyone any experience of 1 ??

Looks well. Any idea as to what weight it is?

Not knowing much about these, how good are maserator.

Does anyone still produce dribble bars without a without a maserator, like this.

A dribble bar without 1 would be a nightmare unless your spreading only water, and for yourself. No pallets.

I try make silage from the best quality grass I can, Contractor wraps them with a fusion. I stack them on end with a soft hands and about three days later, they fall all over the place, the abuse I get from neighbours and my contractor is unreal.

When baling third cut, the baler man said he would stack the bales, and guess what, they fell all over the place.

With soft lush bales, I don't think they can be double stacked.

No, short grass bales will always turn into mushrooms

Aftergrass will flatten.
Main reason we got a rake to make a well formed bale in aftergrass. I pull the wrapper behind the baler and whatever about them flattening in the stack, real pain not hitting the wrapper square.

Did anyone go to the Kelly's of borris up days ? I'm just home there now. Theres some collection of machinery there. Good deals above for tools.

It's a strange set-up, alot of secondhand stuff like harvesters and jcb loading shovels is their years and instead of dropping price our selling to trade to get rid of they just keep stockpiling it, the prices for pretty rough 414s and 416s they want is comical

They always were an expensive shop to call to.. I had to be picked off the floor when I see the price on the window of the limited selection of 100hp secondhand tractors

I didn't realise that you could get slurry tankers that were capable of pumping to umbilical spreader,
Tenant here used them last week, a great option, in fact the only option this year.
Other tenant used an umbilical last week too with a fleet of tankers that connected to the pump at the field gate.
He was drawing 12 mls

Yep and the arm goes down and there's no leaving the tractor.
There's a contractor down this area has the tankers as well as the straightforward umbilical. They'd need them for places where the pipe won't go from the tank.
Costly job.

Yea likewise, the first contractors came with the pump then went back for the tankers, left no tracks

I passed by a yard in Tara, Co. Meath earlier last year and there was 8 or 10 artic tankers lined up by the road and into a yard. I had to slow down due to the artic's parking on the hard shoulder. It looked to me like they were emptying the slurry into a large grey rubber bladder thingie which was then pumped to an umbilical spreader.

Some contractors have a special trailer that parks at the field and tanks draw to it and it feeds the umbilical spreader , it’s like a silage trailer with out the back door

All you need is a garda pump on the tanker

Yeah that's called a slurry nurse trailer

how much is it costing to have a few tankers carting slurry to a field and then have an umbilical system spreading it - surely the economics of that make no sense

I'd say you'd be hitting 300 euro a hour with three tankers drawing and a umbilical in the field with another tractor agitating, once you start hauling slurry more then a 5 mile round trip it gets very expensive

Whos buying all the machinery in dealer yards. even this early in the year.?passed local massey dealers today and the place packed with all things farm machinery.
is gear being wore out that fast nowadays.
i know we are blessed in our greater area with lads with silage outfits and most other machines for farm work.
more over maybe is where is the moolah coming from to buy?

Artics are the only way to move anything bulk over 5 miles imo, be it silage/grain/slurry etc but then that bring other issues with yard access and handling at each end.

Millionaire only not

Alot of fresh secondhand stuff, sitting around dealer yards with no one for it, fusion balers been a good example, dealers are after dropping prices on them too to low 30's for well used fusion 3's but still not shifting them, the cost of fixing machinery nowadays means most lads are opting to pay finance instead
