Getting there now, just the side markers to wire up and get the floor on it.

Looks like a quality job! :cool:

If I ever win the lotto. Just something to knock around in or if going to the garage for smokes.

Reggie are you still getting much use for the Moscha or is all your work now with the dribble bar?
Are folk willing to pay the extra for putting it out with the bar as opposed to the Moscha?

Another question hovering in my head was related to the conversion of a dribble bar to a trailing shoe - you just need to buy the shoe and bolt it on or does it require any type of spring release mechanism to avoid jarring on rocks/stones etc.

Not much work with the dribble bars at all. 90% moscha. Got the bars just to future proof myself really when I had the funds

Think the trailing shoe needs to pivot down when the bars are extended to get below the grass

Anyone use a rakeman 3 metre tine weeder/Harrow? See one priced at €2900 vat inc on donedeal. I have used the einbock tine Harrow many times in the past and found them great for dead grass pulling and helping level in poached bare ground and also a great machine for harrowing grass seed in.

Strips of spring steel run on the ground in front of the shoe to part the grass. Shoe runs behind like the coulter of a one pass following the ground.

I presume both are yours.
How do they compare in your opinion in terms of grass production and odour reduction?
Been a few times we went to spread and neighbours were having outdoor parties, barbeques etc so we would hold off for a few hours or overnight. They would contact us if an animal was in trouble or close a gap when shifting stock, so not worth rubbing them up the wrong way.

The height of that trailing shoe would be no good here. It would be smashed on the roads with all the overhanging branches. Plus wouldn't fit into shed.
Hi-Spec have a nice neat system:

I'm putting my harrow on donedeal later, a Palatine 3 mtr, like new very little done. €2400

Only farming 10 acres here, doesn't justify it.
It hasn't worked for reseeding, It works fine for pulling the thatch out or levelling poaching.
I don't think granlime is suitable for stitching in grass, it needs to be bulk lime to mix with the soil

You might as well buy it and keep the five hundred you save for when the pubs open properly,

I've seen a few like that.
Don't get a spurious one or it will be come an annual job.

Is there movement on the threaded end (at the nut where there should be no movement)?

Not that I noticed. There was a job done on the other wheel a few years back cause there was play in that one

Good. You'll know when you are removing the broken stub anyway. There are repair bushes available if needed.

?
A heavy hammer and 2 spanners

Are you having trouble removing the stub?
Shocking it is the trick, a heavy rap of the hammer to the side before driving it downwards should knock it out.

2 spanners should remove the broken part from the ram.

If you need the repair bush then a mag drill is a must.

Anyone know where there would be a mc hale wrapper scrapped lads need a few bits

Happened our 390 last month. It’s a fast and easy fix aslong as you can get the part at least.
