Enquired about a loader of them a while back, came back with a crazy price, provisional have the same one bought for 10k less with an extra 2000 hours 2 years warranty and on bigger tyres of another crowd, only Enquired with the other crowd after chatting the digger man who'd had a price of them for the loader
Anyone ever add wheel weights to a tractor pulling a tank with a dribble bar or any opinions on if they’d be any benefit to keeping weight on the back wheels?
Contractor has tractor weights on the tanker either side of the vacuum pump, wheel weights are no advantage, its weight on the drawbar you need to balance the tank
Decided to frighten the bushings on the tractor loader.
A 7ft dung fork with euro brackets for the telescopic. Put it on the tractor loader to move it off the trailer. It doesn't look a million miles out of place.
Did you manage to successfully frighten the bushings?
Terrified they were. 😂
I had to calm them down again by telling them that the widest will be 6ft from now on..
Edit: made by a local welder fabricator in the county. Quality of work and welding looks top notch. Delighted I have a new contact for any fabricating.
May I ask what do you use that for, would a grapple bucket or large grab not be better for handling dung?
I'm going to be broke for quite a while now.
I have a 7ft bucket grab on order to be made too. It'll probably be this coming week maybe when it's ready. I ordered the bucket grab first and in conversation with my father he threw doubts in my mind that the bucket grab would go into and under fresh compacted shed dung, even though it will have removeable sides. So I then ordered the fork after seeing an ad on DD.
So I'll now have both.
You look to be ready for any possible protests,a fair upgrade from the pikes.
You could move Vinegar Hill with that.😁
Bucket grabs are the business. We run 3 of them here to feed out silage, clean sheds everything. One in each yard. No changing of implements.
@Say my name a 4 in 1 bucket from an old 3cx is some job for cleaning sheds, waste silage and yards. Even grabbing timber and other stuff
I'll put it on the list. 🙂
I'd say it's a good job alright.
I have an old 3cx and wouldn't be without it. Between the backhoe and the loader it will do strange jobs. Your digger would be a dinger cleaning sheds, put on the grading bucket and you will barely pick up a four prong fork
Lads, looking at a tractor on DD, early 00's new holland. Says Dual Command.
What does this mean? How do the gears work?
Would it be just put it in one gear and away you go and shift by button?
Splitter on each gear
Forgive my ignorance, but what is a splitter?
Not an expert, old man is looking for a tractor easy to drive. He's driven the modern type where you just click a button on the stick to change gears.
Manual box 1234 on a dual command and 3 ranges, high/low splitter on gear lever, the shuttle is cluthless alright, you'll want a range command/electro command box in a new holland if wanting something easy to drive
Why is it called dual command? What do the buttons do on the gear stick?
the splitter is a high or low option on each gear
It’s one clutchless gear in each of the 4 gears you select on that lever.
Usually there’s a light with a hare and a tortoise on the dash. The button nearest the back of the tractor on the gear lever will select the tortoise so this lights up on the dash, the button towards the front selects the hare. Obviously the hare is the higher gear!
Them buttons can be pressed in any gear without clutching to give you a higher or lower speed in that gear, usually called dual power.
Would a 5460 be able to carry bale on front without weight on back?
I can do that in a NH TL90 so a MF 5460 should have no bother unless the backend is really light in them?
Good heavy back end on them MF5400’s. Savage loader tractors.
Are you buying one of them?
Perkins engine on them are known for overheating issues
Drained bottom of filter, no water, no sight of water in the inline filter either, could it be the sensor under the fuel filter thats broke?
Was eyeing a 8 foot malone Pro240 today. Heavy looking headstock. Anyone have one with strong opinions?
Have the predecessor which is the 800 I think. If it goes into heavy grass, or even grass lying the wrong way, it will choke itself on the outside hat. That's even running at 600 RPM on the PTO and 130 German horses upfront. It's belt driven so I presume a shaft one might have a better hope.
Might not be much use to ya seeing as your plan is a newer one and the design may have changed.
from reading I see that. would you have to get out of tractor to unblock?
Happens my vicon in one field always. Have to stop lift mower and move back a foot and off she goes again.
If ya catch it in time, stop, lift the mower and it might fire it out. Then back up and try go again. Worst case of course ya have to stop and get out and pull it off the hat. I've the deflector on that side taken off too and makes no difference to it.
A neighbour has the same.
Will choke easily and kill the tractor.
Malone came out and put different deflecter on the back but its still the same.
Very disappointed by it as he believed by buying new he was buying less problems , now he has a mower that struggles to cut grsss.
He is pondering changing to a pottinger as another neighbour has a 10ft and it never chokes
