Soft hands and extra wide trailer is the best for moving bales. Stack bales on the flat and they ain't going anywhere. A bale falling from the top row could do some serious damage though.

I wonder what kind of money is a bale trailer with the side rails?

It's surely got to be the way forward if the strapping down is really really enforced (which it will be soon enough)

The slurrykat one starts at 16k plus var.
Keltec 10 pack starts at 21k plus vat

Anyone know of anywhere a fella could get an amazone powerharrow refurbished? Some where that is reasonable. Think there is a rotor seal starting to leak and the tine holders would need to be replaced.

Did you try Mortimer machinery between Athboy and trim?

Think I may be sorted lad cheers. Think it's actually a bearing that's gone now. There is a little movement in it now

Have no experience but they are supposed to be a great loader - some say that them and weideman are significantly better than jcb

You’re probably not too far from Breens in cashel who are a dealer

The bearings are not that hard do on them powerharrows. Sometimes even the tine might have a bit of rock on it but the bearing is not goosed. It's only the top lock nut that has come loose from vibration. Tighen, a spot of a mig welder on it and away you go.
The biggest job is getting to the top of the bearing. Lots of bolts ðŸ˜‚

Yeah it nearly feels like it's the top nut that has come loose as it looks like it's a fraction lower than the one next to it

What are skidsteers worth, I know of a white bobcat lying up, looks solid and little or no rust. It's a 763 or something like that- the number is on the rear of it on both sides.
There's a bucket on it.
Not many on done deal so hard to compare.

I've been watching them on dd. Rusty ones look to be in around 7k and decent ones look closer to 10k

Solid be getting a bargain at a bit less than that....

The 7k rusty, 10k tidy sounds about right to me.

Any idea of what value a '84 Fiat 880 five cylinder is worth. Mechanically it's sound and in every day use but the cab is very rusty and is letting in rain through the roof. The front tyres haven't much grip left and the rear ones have about 20%.

Realistically 3500-4K, I'd shove it up on DD for 5500 and chance your arm, but if the cabs that bad you'll have a lot of tyre kickers.

Button.on the dash of the tm 150, if it isnt pressed on, the tractor wont start, what is it looks like a PTO sign

I'm no expert but AFAIK the pto stops on these if the fanbelt breaks, check to see is the S belt loose.

We looked at second hand tractors in a few different places yesterday and today and reckon that we would have to spend €12 to €15k to replace it with something simular with a trade in offer of between €3k and €3.5k.
It's mechanically sound, starts on the key, breaks/handbrake works and does everything that we need it to do so we've decided to put a cap on the roof to keep out the rain.
Here is a pic of it yesterday morning after spreading slurry. I will post a pic of it after we put the capeen on it. BTW it doesn't go on the road.

Ya u just wont get the money for it even tho it's probably a better tractor than youl.get for 3 times the price, awful pity about the fiats rust problems

blue5000 · 01-10-2020 10:05AM

BP sorry at first glance I thought it was daylight where the number plate is:o. Have to head to specsavers soon. Mechanically it will stay going for longer than what you'll get today for €4-5k. Try keep it in a shed, Italians don't like rain.

K.G. · 01-10-2020 10:43AM

Have a similar issue here where the older tractor is doing most of the work.relying on an older tractor is risky so we have decided to sell the smaller newer tractor for something a bit bigger so that it would be able to back up the older bigger tractor.for what we d get for the older one she is just to valuable to us

It's a pity there are so many time wasters on donedeal you could probably get a lot more for it.
