    Some sheep farmers have long wheel based twin wheel drive Transits/Iveco Dailys/Renault Masters with 12'/14' Ifor Williams type aluminium bodies with decks that are legal to drive on a car licence. I suppose it depends on how heavy the lambs are?

    a B car license only goes up to 3500kg, The example you gave earlier would get it difficult to stay under 7000kg with a 14ftbody and 50 ewes

    I never mentioned ewes in my post. If you have a aluminium body and cross members than it is achievable with lambs.
    At least the women/man with that type of set up has passed an official driving test as opposed to the young ones driving a 50kph tractor drawing a 20 ton trailer of pit/maize silage.

    I was going by your first post saying that your truck weighed 3700kg, if you were to put a Ifor williams body on that truck with decks you're into big weights when you fill it with sheep..... ewes or lambs.
    If you don't have the license for what you're driving you're not insured, my point was just I don't know how they're getting away with it

    On a B licence you may drive a vehicle with a max weight of 3500kg, and pull a trailer with a max weight of 750kg.
    Total train weight of 4250 allowed.
    If the trailer is heavier than 750kg, then you are back to a total of 3500kg for the combination.

    If you do the BE licence test, ( jeep and trailer) then you can drive a vehicle with a max weight of 3500kg, and pull a trailer with a max weight of 3500kg.
    Total train weight of 7000kg.

    You have to have a C1 license to drive anything over 3500kg which is what these vehicles are
    If you're as old as I am you got license with a train weight of 12000KG Its a EC1 license

    C licence does upto heavy rigid, no limit on weight

    I have the C licence, Wrangler, but as I've never done the CPC courses would I be OK to drive a light truck for my own use (ie, not for hire or reward)?
    Last time I drove a rigid was the day of the test, in about 2004!

    Yes you can. CPC is only for if your main income is from driving the truck

    I think you can for your own use, Its unbelieveable that a C licence doesn't cover a jeep trailer. Rules seem to be changing all the time

    Which case dealer were ye with that's going to deutz?

    I would have considered 400hrs on a large tractor alot before I came here, I see a tracked fendt 943 (?) on fb that had done 2700hrs in its first year!!

    Wouldnt be a supprise tbh on those veg/flower farms, one of the main lads here worked for a veg grower and clocked 24,000 hours 6.5 years.
    It only cost him a divorce then re marriage and not seeing much of his kids for 8 years.
    Collings brothers , they would be west of cambride along the a1 corridor. That’ll be the end of them.

    Jeez I can't believe they let Case go or let case be taking off them, whichever way it worked, I believe they would have moved alot of combines in the day

    They've been going downhill a while. I know they looked into renting a disused cattle yard on an estate down close to Milton Keynes last spring and the next week the whole company was for sale to one of the biggest customers!. Sharmans(former deere) took the dealership on for case opening a new depot 400m down the road from their main depot!
    It's just the usuall musical go round for dealers and manufacturers slitting each other throats.

    Whenever I'm using the fiat 110 90 for a good while and she gets hot, brown water comes down from the roof. I opened the top.this evening and pipes seem to be ok, would it be the radiator in the roof

    Yeah mine is snookered

    Can’t be got it seems

    When you stand on bonnet facing back of cab looking into heater unit, the pipes connect at your right hand side to the unit via a very fragile plastic angle connection. That’s what broken on mine.

    Is it loosing coolant?

    When you squeeze the coolant pipes are they crunchy?

    Prob be best bypass the heater temporarily to test

    They dont seem to be, the rad seems grand but it must be leaking somewhere. I pumped water through the inlet and it came out the outlet. Any ideas??

    hope parts will be available in the future for these tractors..

    Bypass temporarily with a straight joiners in both hoses to test it.

    I didn’t open the heater unit completely so I’m not sure what way the diverter valve is set up. It may also leak.

    Some parts are obsolete, which is surprising as Fiat are essentially the largest manufacture of tractors in Europe with CNH

    They don’t want these old tractors running because they want you buying new

    On another Fiat note, I remember Blue5000 bought a replacement hydraulic pump for his 90 series Fiat a while ago.
    From a Scandi country, I think.
    Anyone buy one recently, where was the best value, and if you're reading this Blue, who was it from?

    .

    Is this correct? So on the standard b licence you can pull a trailer of let’s say 1500kg if the mass of the car and trailer are less than 3500kg?

    Edit-google seems to confirm! Did not know that! Crazy! Quote from one article....

    For example, a Skoda Octavia family estate towing a “type 02” trailer – one with a Mam of more than 750kg – with two bulls weighs in at 3,085kg combined, but the same trailer and livestock towed by a Toyota Land Cruiser SUV weighs in at 4,440kg, well over the 3,500kg B-licence limit.

    I bought one from garaghy, maybe 10 years ago, I got a faster pump than the original cos she has a loader on it. It's still slow enough lol

    A Russian seller on ebay from Finland, I'll try look him up again. Pump was €100 incl delivery.

    https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/arshydro?_trksid=p2047675.l2563

    Googled arshydro but I think he only sells on ebay or amazon.

    This might be it, is your Power steering pump separate? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TX11234-5129486-8282886-5169039-Long-FIAT-FORD-Case-tractor-hydraulic-pump/233686398118?hash=item3668cb74a6:g:A2IAAOSwWxNY1~JH

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    And they are easier to fix yourself if you are anyway handy with a spanner at all.

    I don't think that's him, the lad I bought from only does hydraulics.

    Found them, Metkoff, if anybody needs a spoolpack made up for themselves, good place to look.

    Great, thanks very much.
    I'll email him a d see what we can do.
    Yes, that's the same pump as mine, and the power steering is a separate pump but driven off the same gear in the front timing case.

    Absolute madness, you'd get a serious loader for that money, never saw the appeal of a skid steer, any ones I drove you'd be broke up from after a few mins

    They have their uses, especially in concrete yards and sheds. Would love one here for cleaning out the sheds here.
