Unusual to see them on single axles

It'd be big weight on the single axle and on the ground.

Only one item of the six sold, bidding on the tanker went to £17,750 and didn't sell. I wonder has brexit affected the used machinery trade in the UK? AFAIK it's even difficult for them to sell to N.I. now.

Can't import them with any clay still attached according to the unionists anyway.

Apparently it was always the case that dirty machinery couldn't get on the boat. They are just now now using it as ammo.

God be with the days that boys would purposely dirty a brand new machine before crossing the border to get out of paying customs.

Thinking of changing the tyres on our 2014 Case MAxxum 125. 600/65/38 & 480/65/28 Firestones on it with 30% thread. Only 3100 hours. Abit disappointed with the wear tbh. Like to go for a different brand. Not enthralled by the concept of BKT/Agrimax as they seem to have a reputation of being rough on the road and doing a lot of road work though we do have f & c susp. Would like to trade them in for safety, grip and while they still have some value. Recommendation and price wise? What are the current tyres worth?

AFAIK Firestone have a very bad rep, Bridgestone owns them and Bridgestone are supposed to have improved their tractor tyres.

We put a set of Bridgestones on the Fiat this time last year and the numbers on the lugs of the front tyres are just barely visible today after about 250 hours, very little of that would have been road work though. Price last year was a small bit less than BKT.

Sorry no idea what your tyres are worth, Donedeal might give you an idea of asking prices.

Looking at some machines in O'Briens Mayo and Garrihys Ennistymon, not familiar with either, any reviews good/bad?

Just tore the front axle off the massey- was hauling slurry and had to pull into the ditch as a neighbor reversed out onto the road

roosterman71 · 01-04-2021 9:37am

Who is liable there? You, the neighbour or the council?

I reckon its a bad design on the masseys. Front axle looks very weak on them

Imagine that happening at any kind of speed...

I know it's a serious cost, but in the general scheme of things if you, your neighbour and any passengers are OK a front axle is repairable.
Now if the neighbours a decent sort they will admit liability.

What size Massey was it?
Depends on the mood of the assessor. They could rule that tractor was not being driven at a speed which allowed driver to react to such a thing happening - i.e. did not anticipate the danger.
You would like to think that the ruling would be fully against the driver reversing out, but probably depends on sight lines and whether the tractor could have seen anticipated or the car coming out.
Could well end up a partial liability on both of them.

Who knows - good luck Stan - hope it works out for you.

If you have comprehensive insurance it might be covered

Local to me but have dealt with Garrihy without any bother. Few bits went under warranty too and there was no problem getting it fixed. Probably wouldn't be the cheapest though.

If there is an insurance claim then I reckon the insurance assessor will be looking at the slurry tanker size V tractor combination and if the brakes were operational on both.

AFAIK it is only an offence to reverse onto a road with a continuous white line - most minor/side roads don't have them.

Is there anywhere in Ireland that specialises in hydraulic hoses? Not like your local machinery parts man. Got quoted £250 plus vat for a second hand hydraulic pipe. Looks like this.

Google hydraulic lyons. He may not be the cheapest however but if Jimmy there can't get you sorted you might be as well buy the 2nd hand one.
Edit to ask what it's off?

From the car perspective:
One should only enter onto a road if it safe to do so.
Reversing when entering onto a road would not inspire you. Loads of people get planning on the basis of having sightlines and in some cases have to cut back hedges to maintain the sightlines

From the tractor perspective.
Size of tractor
Size of tanker and loaded or not

May be a matter for the insurance companies to sort out if no one accepts liability.

What we don't know is whether the car pulled out right before the tractor came along. Then another big mark against the car driver

The Dublin training would have been an ideal April fools joke. The best in years in the circumstances

Couldn't be any worst than a Lely single disk spreader we once had.
As much fertilizer in the cab as on the field...

Used to be a little single disc one here back in the day for a few years. Some no-name brand. I can't remember the name anyway. It would leave lovely stripey fields of grass. I'd say it threw out double the fertiliser on one side than the other. Probably would have looked great in aerial photographs.

O'Briens in Mayo were Landini agents for years. They sold plenty of them, along with used tractors. The son opened another branch in Sligo, and later got the New Holland agency. They sell New Holland from both locations now. They should be sound enough to deal with....

I nought a kubota off garahy last may hes selling some amount of kubs in clare now any time I phoned him with 1 or 2 things about her he had a man down here that day air con wasnt working and he fixed it was 700 euro to fix it he stood over it no problem

MfMan · 04-04-2021 8:39pm

The steel bung on one side of the roller is seized and cannot be opened. Tried everything to open it; blow torch, WD40, every wrench imaginable, even the local garage tried it with the airgun, all to no avail. Only solution I can think of now, is to cut open a sizeable hole in through it and try to remove the remnants of the bung from inside out. Would this damage the threading? Any other ideas? (Yes, I greased it when filling.)

blow torch a waste of time ,did you try anybody with gas and redin it that knows their job

timple23 · 04-04-2021 9:00pm

Weld a nut onto it.

Bought a torch like this to loosen tines on a loader.

You could try trying to turn it while someone strikes the nut with a sledge hammer.

The shock may help loosen the threads

Weld something heavy onto it....maybe 1/2 inch steel plate,that can be welded on both sides

Use 29-9 rods burn in deep,and spray wd 40/oil onto threads while still hot (have heard of people using candle wax)......this should free the threads

Get someone to turn it with a stilson (or similar)and chielsel it at same time........it should come out

SuperTortoise · 04-04-2021 9:16pm

All of the suggestions i have you have already tried or others have mentioned.
If it will not budge it may be easier to weld in a new one.

Nekarsulm · 04-04-2021 11:34pm

Buy a 2 inch galvanised pipejoiner and a bung to fit.
Cut the joiner in half ( to keep it from sticking out and hitting the frame) .
Gas, profile cut, or just drill a ring of holes and make a 2 inch hole in the end of the roller, and weld on your new fitting.

davidk1394 · 05-04-2021 9:37am

Something a little different. A few machines working in the quarry stripping clay. A 20 tonne Komatsu and a 65 tonne Hitachi. The drill wasn't far behind once there was a enough ground cleared.

I’m in the same boat as you. Have a split roller and can open one side but not the other . Going to leave it for today and go at it again Tomo . Let me know if you find the solution ðŸ˜‰

Will do. Cheers to all replies. Had thought about the 'welding on bigger nut' solution alright, but not a welder so may have to get someone to do it. Even then, I can't guarantee it would work.

Did you heat it with oxy acetelene , and heat it until it glows red .
Then try the inch air gun on it .
If you have a socket that filts it , when its red hot use u torque multiplier. On it . Twice the torque of a good inch air gun
