Only one item of the six sold, bidding on the tanker went to £17,750 and didn't sell. I wonder has brexit affected the used machinery trade in the UK? AFAIK it's even difficult for them to sell to N.I. now.

Unusual to see them on single axles

It'd be big weight on the single axle and on the ground.

Can't import them with any clay still attached according to the unionists anyway.

Apparently it was always the case that dirty machinery couldn't get on the boat. They are just now now using it as ammo.

God be with the days that boys would purposely dirty a brand new machine before crossing the border to get out of paying customs.

Thinking of changing the tyres on our 2014 Case MAxxum 125. 600/65/38 & 480/65/28 Firestones on it with 30% thread. Only 3100 hours. Abit disappointed with the wear tbh. Like to go for a different brand. Not enthralled by the concept of BKT/Agrimax as they seem to have a reputation of being rough on the road and doing a lot of road work though we do have f & c susp. Would like to trade them in for safety, grip and while they still have some value. Recommendation and price wise? What are the current tyres worth?

AFAIK Firestone have a very bad rep, Bridgestone owns them and Bridgestone are supposed to have improved their tractor tyres.

We put a set of Bridgestones on the Fiat this time last year and the numbers on the lugs of the front tyres are just barely visible today after about 250 hours, very little of that would have been road work though. Price last year was a small bit less than BKT.

Sorry no idea what your tyres are worth, Donedeal might give you an idea of asking prices.

Looking at some machines in O'Briens Mayo and Garrihys Ennistymon, not familiar with either, any reviews good/bad?

stanflt · 01-04-2021 08:25AM

Just tore the front axle off the massey- was hauling slurry and had to pull into the ditch as a neighbor reversed out onto the road

roosterman71 · 01-04-2021 08:37AM

Jaysus. Any pics of the damage?
Who is liable there? You, the neighbour or the council?

Doesn't surprise me. I seen the roads you drive. Only a matter of time tbh

I reckon its a bad design on the masseys. Front axle looks very weak on them

Odelay · 01-04-2021 09:03AM

Imagine that happening at any kind of speed...

I know it's a serious cost, but in the general scheme of things if you, your neighbour and any passengers are OK a front axle is repairable.
Now if the neighbours a decent sort they will admit liability.

If you have comprehensive insurance it might be covered

Local to me but have dealt with Garrihy without any bother. Few bits went under warranty too and there was no problem getting it fixed. Probably wouldn't be the cheapest though.

If there is an insurance claim then I reckon the insurance assessor will be looking at the slurry tanker size V tractor combination and if the brakes were operational on both.

AFAIK it is only an offence to reverse onto a road with a continuous white line - most minor/side roads don't have them.

Is there anywhere in Ireland that specialises in hydraulic hoses? Not like your local machinery parts man. Got quoted £250 plus vat for a second hand hydraulic pipe. Looks like this.

Google hydraulic lyons. He may not be the cheapest however but if Jimmy there can't get you sorted you might be as well buy the 2nd hand one.
Edit to ask what it's off?

From the car perspective:
One should only enter onto a road if it safe to do so.
Reversing when entering onto a road would not inspire you. Loads of people get planning on the basis of having sightlines and in some cases have to cut back hedges to maintain the sightlines

From the tractor perspective.
Size of tractor
Size of tanker and loaded or not

May be a matter for the insurance companies to sort out if no one accepts liability.

What we don't know is whether the car pulled out right before the tractor came along. Then another big mark against the car driver

Thanks. He got me, only after seeing his latest pic with the repairs.

I actually thought that dublin training thing was a joke when I first heard it.

The Dublin training would have been an ideal April fools joke. The best in years in the circumstances

31 counties woke up in outrage, completely ignoring the fact their own counties just hadn’t been caught of course

Bad taste all right, you’d wonder about people at times...

Still, takes all sorts though I suppose...
