Couldn't be any worst than a Lely single disk spreader we once had.
As much fertilizer in the cab as on the field...

Used to be a little single disc one here back in the day for a few years. Some no-name brand. I can't remember the name anyway. It would leave lovely stripey fields of grass. I'd say it threw out double the fertiliser on one side than the other. Probably would have looked great in aerial photographs.

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

Garrihy wouldn't be the best for after sales service unless you are local to him.

Have no info on O'Briens

O'Briens in Mayo were Landini agents for years. They sold plenty of them, along with used tractors. The son opened another branch in Sligo, and later got the New Holland agency. They sell New Holland from both locations now. They should be sound enough to deal with....

The steel bung on one side of the roller is seized and cannot be opened. Tried everything to open it; blow torch, WD40, every wrench imaginable, even the local garage tried it with the airgun, all to no avail. Only solution I can think of now, is to cut open a sizeable hole in through it and try to remove the remnants of the bung from inside out. Would this damage the threading? Any other ideas? (Yes, I greased it when filling.)

blow torch a waste of time ,did you try anybody with gas and redin it that knows their job

timple23 · 04-04-2021 08:00PM

Weld a nut onto it.

Bought a torch like this to loosen tines on a loader.

You could try trying to turn it while someone strikes the nut with a sledge hammer.

The shock may help loosen the threads

Weld something heavy onto it....maybe 1/2 inch steel plate,that can be welded on both sides

Use 29-9 rods burn in deep,and spray wd 40/oil onto threads while still hot (have heard of people using candle wax)......this should free the threads

Get someone to turn it with a stilson (or similar)and chielsel it at same time........it should come out

SuperTortoise · 04-04-2021 08:16PM

All of the suggestions i have you have already tried or others have mentioned.
If it will not budge it may be easier to weld in a new one.

Nekarsulm · 04-04-2021 10:34PM

Buy a 2 inch galvanised pipejoiner and a bung to fit.
Cut the joiner in half ( to keep it from sticking out and hitting the frame) .
Gas, profile cut, or just drill a ring of holes and make a 2 inch hole in the end of the roller, and weld on your new fitting.

Something a little different. A few machines working in the quarry stripping clay. A 20 tonne Komatsu and a 65 tonne Hitachi. The drill wasn't far behind once there was a enough ground cleared.

Nice asset to have on a farm, a gift that keeps giving
I've thousands tons of limestone rock and not allowed touch it.

Do they leave back the land good enough to farm when they're finished with it,

I’m in the same boat as you. Have a split roller and can open one side but not the other . Going to leave it for today and go at it again Tomo . Let me know if you find the solution ðŸ˜‰

Will do. Cheers to all replies. Had thought about the 'welding on bigger nut' solution alright, but not a welder so may have to get someone to do it. Even then, I can't guarantee it would work.

Did you heat it with oxy acetelene , and heat it until it glows red .
Then try the inch air gun on it .
If you have a socket that filts it , when its red hot use u torque multiplier. On it . Twice the torque of a good inch air gun

Drop it down to a local workshop fella, if no joy doing that have a pipe fitting and bung and ask him to mag drill a hole and weld it in.

Can anyone sell slig from a farm, lots of small hills here I'd like to get rid of

Probably 10 different certs and licenses required these days!

davidk1394 · 06-04-2021 08:42AM

At the moment it's just a big hole that's fenced off. It'd be great if it could be filled in some day but it's around 12 acres.

I have nothing got to do with the quarry and it's rented out to someone. They are NSAI certified and the paper work they have to ensure is correct is eye watering. However being NSAI certified allows them to supply material to any job in the country. All the machines he bought were either non runners or fixer uppers. That big Hitachi digger got a new engine. They have 2 big Aveling Barford rigid dumpers. He rebuilt the transmission in one and the engine in the other.

Don’t think you’d want it tbh. There’s fair hardship coming in likes of uk and Germany with ol mines that the ground is subsiding eith

You're lucky to have it now, it's another income into the ''firm'' Young lads taking over a farm now adays have to provide two incomes, parents are mostly young.
Motorway got 50ft of rock under my land take for the road and in that situation you're only paid for the top six inches.
People around here rented hills to contractors and they had to leave it back as farmland

Serious bit of kit

Maybe I'm out of practice on the auction circuit.
Doyle's machinery auction on marteye seems to be value had.

Anyone buy new spinners recently? Ours is due a change, Rauch, has spread a lot of stuff, only issue was adjusting it really as would easily get stiff. Would Rauch or Amazone be the two main ones to look at still? Have heard bogballe may not be the most reliable. Will need to hold 1.5 tonne comfortably

I've pictures of our 1 just above your post, with the grant available their seems to be a lot of second hand tillage machines around now.

Bought a 4 year old 3 ton Rauch with all the bells and whistles (GPS, section control, weight cells, hydraulic drive) for reasonable money, the difference between a new 2 ton machine with just border control was less than 2k.
