Fresh looking machine, I don't think the job is that hateful, definitely worse. One thing is though, it's worth your while making up a board or something for the side of the bonnet to protect it, tractor here has one season done on the hedge cutter and the mudguards and bonnets is destroyed, especially given that you have a Fendt on it ha

35 all in around here also

€45 inc. VAT here.

Lads only using it to keep a tractor from being idle between silage and slurry.

there's a huge difference with any of the contractors using the twincuts, it has to be 50% faster

Is it possible to get a radio to save preset radio stations, they keep getting knocked off when isolation switch is turned off.

Not without a source of power.

The factory isolator switch on John Deere’s had a 1amp fused supply fed from the battery to the radio for that reason.

That's the going rate, it's the one job I wouldn't dream of doing in house when you can get it done so cheap, it's a cashflow job for alot of lads just to be keeping a few euros coming in the economics of it don't really come into it

SuperTortoise · 14-02-2021 12:06PM

€50 p/h NET around here for the hedge trimming.

Yes the jvc ones Have a memory built in. Had to get ones for all my tractors with isolators. Look up halfords for the cheapest jvc and check spec to make sure it has it.

Won't spend too much now for a while till I see how I get on with it. Will throw a rug or old carpet over the bonnet for the moment and something along the mudguard. One for the guntering thread I'm sure!

Has just over 1200 up now. No major issues thankfully. Few sensors act the knob but a power cycle clears them. Front grill rusts though. A problem on a lot of Fendts I'm told. On the 3rd one now in 2.5 years. No trouble getting them replaced from AGCO.

There usually standred enough,most reasonable sized tractor garages would surely have one about

Or if you have time to wait

Just lock the lever in place before fitting cables,to valve block so as to not need adjust afterwards

Something like this?

Have a Pioneer Mvh-S420bt still in box, might return it for above one.

I'm not doubting ya but it makes no sense. That's why I'll never do it myself. Better off driving for someone

So do these not need the memory wire?

I’ve never seen those before

Those pivot points are 11 euro in farm and industrial in Kilkenny. I cut the top of it and welded on a ball bearing.

Rossmore/William J Carroll in Tipperary. They used to fit that model joystick to the rossmore loaders.

I have a Ross more joystick but the cover came off, alot easier to click the button now. Would it be harmful not to put it back on

Is that isolation switch an afterthought of yours as that seems strange to me that a factory fitted isolator would do that. All the radios and clocks here stay straight I believe

Old tractor, already fitted when purchased.

How long does the memory last when the isolator is switched off??

It lasts for a week at least. Would probably last forever with isolator turned off until battery goes dead.

https://www.halfords.ie/technology/car-audio/car-stereos/jvc-kdx-262-fm-car-stereo-397822.html

This is the one I got anyway. Could say about other Jvc ones but this one defo has it built in.
