I was hoping for around that figure but not quite right

150, you could map her out to 170 not a bother and the engine would be 100%

Have you seen those Everun machines that are sold in Galway. Would the mini diggers be worth trying. The loading shovel got a decent review in the farmers journal

Only saw a few pics of the everrun yokes but the drive shaft seemed to be under the machine and not protected?

We have a winner. She ran 148hp at the shaft

Landini &ford, traditionally the best at the shaft

I’d have to put Fiat in that group, and possibly top.

Isn't that where that engine on the landing would have its heritage?

Yep. Same as the current Iveco

no its a contractor's machine..definitely has all knives in but maybe not sharp enough of something..previous bales made with a mchale f5500 with 15 knives fell apart once you removed the net...often tempted to buy my own baler but hp and time could be an issue

You tend to notice the knives being blunt fairly quickly in terms of diesel burned.

Anyone know what the working width of a splash plate is?

ruwithme · 27-01-2021 08:08PM

7metres typically i might guess?? Bit more maybe if your directing her up at the sky with the old type one. (Great for thicker loads.)

Lad i work for has a f5500.
You can set/monitor the pressure behind the knives
If the knives are blunt tge pressure increases and it starts alarming.
Sharpen the knives and the alarms go away .
Great job really

Got a zetor 7211 recently...

Driving it today, a light came on the dash - looking online, it seems to be the ‘pilot bulb of the pto shaft clutch‘

What exactly is this, and why would it come on and then go off again?
And... the most important question - should I be concerned?

Is it a red light on top right of the dashboard?

Yep, that’s the one...

It has a sticker under it saying ‘Max 5 mins’ or something like that...

I wasn’t using the hand clutch at the time, just driving, so not sure why it should have come on...
It went off again by itself though

Dinzee Conlee · 31-01-2021 09:59PM

Yes, 5 min max for it disengaged.

I'd say its a bare wire earthing somewhere on that circuit. If you try engaging the PTO you'll realise the amount of force (and flexibility!) required to get the clutch to disengage - left hand behind you pulling the hand clutch upwards whilst bent over pulling/pushing on the lever below gearstick :pac:

Yeah, it works grand, for the PTO / hydraulics - I had heard about the backwards facing hand clutch all right, but was expecting it to be worse...

I was just surprised when the light come on today...

Thanks for replies Funky...

Looking to put a new diesel tank for the tractor inside a shed. Would just be gravity flow. Does the tank need to be bunded or is a normal plastic home heating oil tank ok? Thanks

bamayang · 01-02-2021 01:03PM

Whats the breakdown between using grease and oil on machines?
Is it anything experiencing high speed gets oil and slow continuous exposure gets grease?

Refurbishing a metal cutting bandsaw at the min and will be putting back together in next few weeks. Want to make sure i put it back right and wondering what should be used for:
Enclosed Gearbox (wormwheel)
Main pivot bar
lead screw for clamping mechanism

I used the normal heating tanks here. Just make sure the tank is higher than the fuel tank of the tractor for gravity fed.

What way does the gate on the front of the trailer work?

Looks a fine trailer.

blue5000 · 01-02-2021 07:03PM

Well wear LC. Did you buy it on the Tipperary road?

Nice, wear well,

Where are them trailers made ?

SuperTortoise · 01-02-2021 08:04PM

Looks a fine trailer, well wear as they say.

Is that the dividing gate on the front with the latch?

Well ware LC. There's not that Indespension trailers locally although they look a fine job. The only fault I could find on the few I have seen is that the hanging mechanism for the dividing gate isn't very sturdy and is prone to detaching when under pressure.

FintanMcluskey · 01-02-2021 08:23PM

I have an Indespension boat trailer. Over 20 years old. The Rolls Royce of boat trailers.

They have an excellent stores in Dublin.

I’m sure the agri trailers are just as well put together as the boat ones.

It's the internal dividing gate.

Made in the UK, they are the same as the hudsons were built off the same plans. They were actually making trailers for Hudson for a few years as far as I know.

I didn't even really look at the dividing gate to be honest....Can't be any worse than the ifor. Its heavy anyway and seems way stronger than the 14ft ifor I have that's wrecked, money wasn't out of the way so we'll see how it works out.
