    I wonder is that why they are always a bit cheaper than the likes of Conor/major/abbey.
    No chassis so less steel and welding needed

    I don't think they are cheaper are they? Conor is supposed to be the cheapest.

    Never associated redrock with being cheap. Traditionally anyway,anything ever made by redrock was hard to break.

    Was driving an X6 Mccormick at the weekend and noticed that when going up through the gears say 3s1 - 3s2 - 3s3 that when I shifted the main gearstick it went to 4s3.

    Is there any way to go from 3s3 to 4s1 in one shift?
    Seems a bit odd that I that when shifting up on the main gears, that the splitter didn't reset in order to minimise the jump.

    Am I missing something here? Was similar on downshifting.

    I'm not the most educated on this topic but a quick answer is no. The clutchless gear changes are only half gears or something like that. I know on old Ford dual power gearboxes, every time you change gear with gearstick, you are skipping a gear.

    You have to get it reprogrammed. I got it done on my landini if I change gear with the clutch less button the gear goes to the middle split every time. Not on the clutch petal tho

    Downshift and upshift?
    Edit: must be both. Gearbox can't tell the difference at point of shifting...



    Is it any extra burden on the clutch to do both at once?

    I do it with heave loads. Just time the release of the clutch button after the split change

    Problem I had was I was hauling a heavy load up a road which was on hillside.
    So upshifting meant the jump was too big and engine would labour a bit until it going again. Would your modification work in that scenario?
    Owner never knew he could get this done. He just went up the stick and then banged it down on the splitter.

    Yeah. Going to give her a little twist now shortly. In a year or two I'll be picking up a second tractor. Might go for a big landpower or legend.

    If it’s visctronic fan it’s fairly normal. ECU monitors inputs from engine coolant, transmission oil temp, air conditioning and will ramp up and down the fan speed as required to get to desired operating temperature. It’s multiple inputs that control the speed so it may not always be the same input requesting speed increase all the time.

    Other than this may have an issue with one of the coolant temperature senders that control the fan or transmission oil temp sender or erratic input from a/c system into the SCM or if a late TM the single DL controller for combined functions.

    Was looking at a vdw diet feeder online. How to they prevent the vertical augers getting bent by heavy bales getting dropped in?
