If that's CL he hasn't even his apprenticeship finished. Savage mechanic but for a dealership that size to have a man like that as the go to man is a joke to be fair. Between him and the man in Poulpeasty Cooney Furlong and the motor company could close the workshops bar warranty work.

Got last year. Easy to pull but you would need 6 cylinder tractor or front weights as it is heavy. We have 175 HP on it.

It can handle all seed types. Getting good take with clover also.

Start by draining the glass bowl at the bottom of the fuel filter. If that doesn't work, you could try replacing the filters.

Do you think water has entered the tank? If so, it will be better off to drain it before fitting new filters.

Is it possible that it's just the sensor sending a false signal after getting wet? Are any other warning lights showing?

Not a lot of knowledge on trucks here but the crash box is the one that you have to double clutch to change gears. As far as I know there are no synchros in the gear box. I presume the gearboxes in the American trucks that you mention are some version of an automatic/tiptronic ?

The gearbox in the Leyland would have been a constant mesh, similar to what was in 100 series Masseys and most other tractors of that era. The method most commonly use to change gear in those tractors was to actually stop the tractor between gear changes simply because there wouldn’t be enough momentum to have time to double clutch.

We don't have to clutch as we have synchronous gearboxes in most things now. It's just bred into us that it's mechanical savagery to not cutch for a gear change.

In saying that though, the synchros in European gearboxes are soft and you wouldn't be long wearing one out.

As said, the double clutch is a crash gearbox with no synchros. The reason for the double clutch is to match the output shaft speed with the engine rpm to make it easier to slot into gear without crunching.

That's the point I was trying to refer too in my post. Why don't we have the same type of gearboxes in Ireland/Europe. Is it due to topography?

This guy discusses some of the differences in clutching, but I think he may have over complicated the European shifting. Have a read of the comments as they are quite informative.

Delete the ad and re-list with a more realistic price that you're happy with. I think alot of saves are people keeping an eye what's selling or not. Pm me link if you wish.

20 plus euro per clock hour I think to hire, with a minimum hour requirement of 500-750 depending who you deal with, are you vat registered that would take the sting out of it but if not it's an expensive way of operating but handy in your not on the hook for finance for 5-7 years

Nice on the road and fine in good ground conditions, once you aren’t turning too tight. Sticky duels fill up with earth and you then spent a mile depositing it out on the road. Low loaders would be a lot heavier build too, be like carrying a few bales around with you all the time.

I’d like to upgrade the wheels on the trailers here, move away from the super singles. They’ve no place in a field really anymore.

Only problem with the flotations is when you go to replace them you are at risk of a heart attack when you get the price! Anyone try low profile super singles 445mm wide Vs 385mm on super single.
