    They make their own craft cider, it's lovely on a warm summers evening and i don't drink cider. Their close to Blumers so thats why their planting more. There's two other commercial orchards I know of within a 20 minute drive of me

    Got a malone 800 last year to do the topping, it's a well built machine and should last. I didn't realise they did a trailed machine as well. Well wear with it


    check the gearbox they loosen on all the malone mowers

    I prefer the straight as they seem to take abuse better

    I reckon the hooked tine as they rip the grass apart better and scatter it over a wider area.... a better wilt and more even spread of grass on the ground as a result.....lely tenders have them as well...

    Did any of ye bring a machine in from the UK recently? There's a machine located in Aberdeenshire in Scotland. How much would it cost ?

    Think depending on size of machine as in full load or part load for the truck. I believe €1000 roughly for part loads

    If there was no virus or lockdown I'd go with a jeep and trailer for the spin.

    Went over a few years ago to get a couple of eBay purchases. Went with Dublin - Liverpool ferry as it was the cheapest. Bloody thing took forever to get over, I would have been quicker rowing!

    Went to put on the mounted mower today, have a set of pins that are only used for this mower. Pins wouldn’t fit into balls (removable type). Is this unusual? Gave them a small tap of hammer and wouldn’t go in. Linkage is used fairly regularly, pins went into balls last year, could they have expanded or small bit of rust on inside of linkage balls?

    I would imagine it's rust after forming on both sides... Maybe a bit of oil on the or something, sounds like their fairly reluctant to go in by the way your talking, never seen it to cause that much of an issue

    Anyone here have any dealings with John Croker tractor breaker/engine rebuilder from around the Ballinasloe area?

    Just trying to get an idea as to what he's like regarding price and quality of parts.

    PM's more than welcome.

    How would this do on a backactor I wonder? I have used the bale spike before to make a pilot hole and it makes a big difference. Then use the front loader to drive them down, works but hard to keep straight. This is a proper pilot hole and a 400kg weight with the force of the digger then should drive posts with ease and control I think. Just for maintaining fences I would need it for.

    A fine looking machine and I hope you get plenty of good summers for it. How come you went with a Malone and not any other brands? Also are trailed mowers easier to operate?
