Is there not some rules around stack height? I thought 3 was the max ya can go

Recommendation there is 3 high. Don't know if it's legislated for. Would be interesting if there was an accident and a subsequent claim would insurance cover it if the stack was more than 3 high and not built securly with chocks and whatnot

Seems completely arbitrary from a safety standpoint the difference between three and four bales high, once you have the appropriate for each. For us the same loader puts them up that takes them down so no problem at all.

I'll PM you

Wouldn't be too well up on it only my last inspection , Ur lad said it to me about being stacked 3 high in the yard , he walked around the bales and said there nothing coming out of them as I ted the silage but said to me only 2 high off concrete, I said give me a check and I'll concrete my whole yard for ye 😂

Think there might be abit of a tightening up of silage making around them areas. Big outfits like them disappearing will be felt

Bales are taking over, especially by the smaller lads and later cuts as well.

We stack 5 high. The plastic manufacturers say max of 3 high I think but we've never had any issues. Well 4 high when we draw ourselves but we get a contractor in for most of the first cut for helping with the drawing and he has a handler that throws them up 5 high. Need it space-wise

If you go more than 3 high you need an effluent tank then

Brutal to loose money anyway. I was offered a demo model 510 with loader for 85k+vat was less than a year old,..when it was sold I priced the exact same model/spec brand new was 125k+vat,..Also it was 25k more the same model massey and new holland,..was same price as a new deere

I've a navara 2003. It's a d22 model. No issues with the chassis here and I'd pull sand twice a week, or more.

The newer one is the d40, which would cover 08, are the ones that give trouble. There are either drain holes in the chassis above the axle that get blocked with crap/ no holes at all, can't remember which. Anyways the chassis rail gets filled with water and rots from the inside out.

Look where the lowest point in the rail is, and above the mounts.

I'd like to change up a few years, but for the prices of jeeps at the moment, I'm prob better off staying put.

Thanks for all the replies, you've all said the same thing as I was thinking myself. Don't buy problems, second hand jeeps have just gone mad dear and the clutch is going on our Sorento. Looks like I will just have to get it fixed.

I’ve a 162 navara new model- uk import I’ve it 5 years now no problems with corrosion on the new model- really comfortable to drive and I’ll probably buy another one when it comes time to change-
