How hard is it to arrange a demo of a machine (tedder) in summertime? Dealt with both dealers before, there is no machines being used in the locality that could be looked at. Wouldn't be buying one without a demo first.

Unless it’s a new brand of machine your looking at then the chance of a demo is very slim.

When a dealer demo’s a machine it’ll knock 10 or 15% off it’s value straight away. That’s worth it if it’s a new brand or new model and they need to show what it can do and they’ll probably use the same demo machine at various demo’s all around the country.

To expect a demo of a tedder for one man who may or may not buy it wouldn’t justify the cost for the dealer at all. Especially if it’s a common brand like Lely, Claas, Krone etc. You’ll probably just be told they’re working all around the world tedding grass so there’s no reason they won’t do the same for you.

Where would be best place to source a second hand loader,plus brackets,valves etc etc

Anyone specialising in likes of this?

There’s a man in Monasterevin, Barry Fenton, who specialises in just loaders, new and second hand. Monasterevin Agri he trades as. Could be worth a call.

Google Barry Fenton in Monasterevin. Specialises in loaders. If he doesn't have it second hand he will know where it is or it is not available in the country.

Beaten to it above.

Some lads will insist on the friends and family method . Because of the following
They sell something . It gets collected. Then the buyer claims he never got the item . Complains to paypal. Since there is no record of delivery. Paypal refunds the payment

If someone picks something up, you can have them sign a receipt that they picked it up. And then email them a copy of that receipt to their paypal registered address.

Paying someone as "friends and family" is akin to sending them an envelope of cash and hoping that they send you what you bought.

If they are picking it up, you can also ask for cash instead anyway. If posting it, you can get tracking

My latest thought here is to use a light switch for a motorbike handlebar and use a quick-fit clip to snap it onto a door bar. Lights are ordered and I've sufficient cabling. Seen some nice waterproof connections on the net, so I'm getting ready to go here.

I see IFarm WeFarm has just bought a new-to-him 2000R Abbey tanker and is going to upgrade the lights at the back. I think part of it is that he's going to put flashers on it - see read in comments he said will 'something better than a beacon'. Guessing he is putting some sort of high mount LED light bar on it with integrated work lights and beacon - maybe even second set of signal lights.

He's going putting an led light bar around the wheelarch like the side of an artic trailer anyway:(

New tyres & rims,nearly new pump,new decals,new gate valve,new rubber hoses for vacuum pump,probably missing something,oh & the new lights.

You can get great deals on 2nd hand tanks now though as no one wants them. New tanks are gone very dear due to the grant

Did you get it in Lakeland Farm Machinery?
:pac:

To be fair to them ,they are as good as he says. I
bought a ifor williams off them last year.
Everything was put right collecting it , lights repaired, clips replaced, missing hubcaps replaced , brakes done before i got it .
It was very competitively priced too compared to what was available down the country.

Hi all. I have a lot of filters to order as a few tractors near servicing (6x machines in total). Running Renaults (Iveco/Fiat engines), Landini (perkins), and John Deere engines & JCB digger

Any recommendations on places to order from?

You could try Joe O'Connell, Hollyford Co. Tipperary. I know he sells barrells/drums of oil too.

Strange one alright. Good to see him back. Won’t be easy get customers back though if they go elsewhere!

Looking at getting a 2nd hand quad. Budget of say €6,000 max. Will be used mainly for licking rushes and other odd bits of jobs. Would rather buy off a decent garage for the ease of servicing or repairs.

We've never owned a quad before so I'm fairly green with them. Anyone have any recommendations? Would the likes of this be a good option?

selectamatic · 04-03-2021 03:19PM

Like everything quads are quite dear at the minute.

Grizzly 450s are very good. Have one for years and its a trooper. Plenty of power and very reliable. Supposed to be a tiny bit harder on petrol than the Honda's but there isn't much in it.

Full auto cvt gearbox in them which is very reliable.

The Honda's of that era are great too and the electric shift is quite nice to use as well if you fancied a more manual box.

Get a reasonably well minded Yamaha, Honda or Suzuki and it's hard go too far wrong. 400+cc and 4x4 and you'll be fit for any job.

At that kind of a budget you would nearly buy a new CF Moto 450. Have one here for the past 2 and half years and going very well. Well specced and they seem to have a good network of dealers around the country who would have been selling quads before taking on this brand. Had a Honda 300 for 18 years before that, but stuff from that vintage were a serious build quality

2 bleed nuts at top of hubs,and another on trailer brake valve

Though id imagine,your brake o-rings are gone hard,and its leaking into backend oil......would it have 8 to 10,000 hours

Is the reservoir empty?

Any chance the low oil caused the back end to get hot
