    Was following this weapon spreading chicken litter till 2 am this morning.
    The Big Muk 412 by KB Design.
    The rotor is fitted to the right of centre of the container. When the material starts to drop and discharge gets light you give a spool valve a pick and a section of the floor and left side which is hinged push more dung towards the chains. Keep working the spool valve gently and after a minute or so the floor has come right up inside to the rotor and has emptied completely. Unfortunately i dont have a pic of the floor fully up but you can see the marks inside on front wall.

    Base price
    Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,352 ✭✭✭✭Base price


    A couple of years ago I bought a new front wheel and tyre for my late Uncle's 168, which is probably the first time that it got a new part since it was manufactured :eek:
    It is rough on the edges but starts on the button every time even in the depts of winter. The gear lever comes away in your hand unless you keep a downward pressure on it confused.png Great security device when I'am back in ncd as I can peg it into the back of the jeep :)
    The tractor mows with an old PZ, turns/rows 30 odd acres and draws in the silage bales from same.
    Also does 4 or 5 runs to the bog with a tipping trailer every year.
    Pic is from a few years ago when my brother and I were doing a bit of mechanical work on it.

    Feck it - I just realised that the picture is lopsided. Maybe Kovu can do her thing or one of the other Mods :-))

    The "real workhorses". Not polished and pampered like the 398. Looks better than it did new. Easy for it when this pair are doing the work, and it only for posing. :rolleyes::)
    That's one of the last 168s with the Lambourn cab. 2 nice honest tractors.

    I've no plans in changing her any way. 30e for ignition switch and another switch. And she's slot safer now.
    Dad found a s/h 4wd unit in cork last yr but we never followed it up

    15 euro for us as We use the smaller 4 sod behind the tractor. Don't know what is a 10 sod hopper. That self propelled throws them out.

    10 sod hopper here is €70 I think but she's a sow. I fecking HATE the bog I'd rather sit down with the mother in law for a chat than go to the bog. The lads here turn it by machine and all but bringing it home is still to much.

    The turning by machine is only a balls of a job. Is it the tractor one or quad one

    It breaks up the sod too much plus the sod might not turn right so won't dry. So would have to be turned again leading to more breakages.

    Never seen it I'll try get a pic when they are at it. I think this is a home invention from local lads that work the bog for a few generations.

    There's one that's like an old potato harvester with the conveyer chains running along side the tractor. The quad one is like a snow plough and just flicks the turf over

    Its actually a 12 sod hopper , M4s. You would have a nice load of turf out of a hopper the size of it.

    They have a turner that is made on a 3 ton mini digger under carriage. A super machine. Not sure is 7 or 8 euro a hopper. certainly if you had anything at all to do with your time, you wouldn't dream of doing it by hand. they also have another machine on the back of a tractor, in reverse gear. That in mainly used for windrowing.

    The machine turner works well in a dry year , when the bog is dry underfoot, and the turf would need to be nearly half dry to work a machine.But in a wet year you will neither have the ground or the turf dry enough to work one. I would count the machine turning a better job , if the conditions allow it, because it disturbs the bog underneath as well as the turf.

    Your breaking the one of the major rules of the bog right there. Never break the crust of a bog and never reverse a trailer on the bog :)

    I would have agreed with you on the crust once upon a time. But now most sp ray the hollows so that the vegetation dies off. Also a lot work a land leveller on it, so that the surface is like a tilled field. A recipe for disaster though in a wet year. The turners are made using 2 rows of potato harvester chains.
