    thats the 4 cylinders biggest problem was starting, so if that isnt a problem he is away with it. far stronger and more thorque than the 3 cylinder.

    Have a 3 cylinder already with yard scraper on it. Will start no bother with easy start

    Call to jersey, he has two birds with him,

    Agree New Year's Eve a pain in the ring, much rather a few pints on New Years day tbh ,

    sharpshooter how would a tanco bale shear be for taking wholecrop wheat or barley out of a pit ?

    or maize silage?

    having the tanco bucket on would it work well?

    would be well chopped

    wouldnt think it would work as the cutting edge is only on the front and not the edges so wouldnt leave a clean cut IMO

    so if you put a cutting edge on it , it would work

    easier than swapping between a shear grab and owning a shear grab in the first place:confused:

    jeeny fair city was pretty depressing :( ruined my buzz

    Happy new year all.

    and safe farming

    dont think so as the side arms end up inside the bucket when fitted and when the bucket aint on there would be too much of a gap to cut clean

    Neighbour had a slat break in an old shed, never noticed a weanling had one leg down in it for a couple of days as he assumed he was lying down when he was feeding.
    Animal now down and in the hayshed. He's 79 so I foresee a few days of me injecting and lifting:pac:
