    Have now noticed a bit of a knocking noise when turn steering fully left or right when tractor moving. Don't think there is any noise when turn but not moving and don't hear it when only turning small bit when moving. MF390 4WD. Just wondering what it's likely to be, and how urgent or serious (expensive!!). Thanks

    Ton of fert just transporting to field. Lifting half ton into spreader.

    Heavy bales onto trailer or a short haul on road

    keep an eye on the track rod ends when the noise happens, thats the weakness in the steering of them

    Could be the knuckles on the front steering. Lock out the steering and give them a look to see is there any wear or movement

    Sounds like knuckles to me too.
    As for expense the quicker fixed the less damage it will do to shafts or seals. Id look into this b4 doing anything.

    Ours lost bolts on driveshaft on way to front axel b4.

    Any one have any clue what quicke loader is the same as mf 873 front loader

    Looking at some pictures online there, all those loaders fitted to the MF 42/43 early 54 range look broadly the same, some have parallel linkage bars for self leveling. No idea what the equivalent quicke models are though.

    Yes but its not a high speed procedure. Its just 1 mile from house on quiet road.

    Do it now with loader but its not mine.

    Sounds very hard on the loader. I'd be more inclined to go twice

    Never had loader on tractor b4 and never used 1. Mot sure what they capable off.

    Couple around here haul bales from field with front loader. Would that be bad on them?

    Can be without weight on the back. Can wear out the front axle quickly otherwise

    Would help but would be hard on the tractor unless it was a bigger machine like a NH T6

    I have a 5455 and bring in one on the front and on the back. No problem with wear apart from getting the king pins done last year but that’s basically all that has worn out. Tractor is 05. Front loader is great and used a lot.

    A friend has the same . He carries 2 on the back on a double and one on the front .
    They reckon it's better to carry more weight on the back as it takes weight off the front of the machine causing less wear on the front axel

    A lot depend on the bales too. I'm able to feed with no weight on the back but was loading a truck a week ago with a bale on the rear and the tractor was abit unstable. Pure water in them

    What size tractor he using. Lad around here used to take 4 2 on front linkage and 2 on back on a 6480 he reduced I see he only taking 3 now.
    If the haul was any more than across a road we would use trailer.

    Some around here have started cutting a cross under bale before stacking on ground end up.
    Lets the effluent out if their going to be wet.
    I try to make them dry.

    True and I’d go for that but part of the roadway to my sheds is to narrow for a double bale lifter with bales on. The double lifter might be my next purchase anyway for stacking everywhere else.

    Anyone have an elephant trunk on the loader? They look a mighty job for bales leaving no damage. Thinking of getting one but unsure what it would be like if loading and unloading bales off a trailer.

    Know of a jd 6630 with the splines in its lift knuckles sheared from a double bale handler.
    I think they're a foul implement on any tractor with wet bales.

    I've used a McHale a few times. Think they're not made anymore. Was told they were the best design.

    It's no good for wet soft bales. Does fine for loading trailer though. Just leave a little gap.

    Two bales and the handler shouldn’t weigh more than 1.5t and will be close to the back of the tractor, the rated capacity for such a tractor should be over 6t. At the ball ends.

    Also, no issue with brakes I can think of.

    2nd & 3rd cut from a fusion can weigh 950+kg, that's near or possibly more than 2 ton of bales alone.
    It was a known fault on the older deeres to strip the splines though.
    However, it shouldn't happen.
