Did you get it in Lakeland Farm Machinery?
:pac:

To be fair to them ,they are as good as he says. I
bought a ifor williams off them last year.
Everything was put right collecting it , lights repaired, clips replaced, missing hubcaps replaced , brakes done before i got it .
It was very competitively priced too compared to what was available down the country.

Hi all. I have a lot of filters to order as a few tractors near servicing (6x machines in total). Running Renaults (Iveco/Fiat engines), Landini (perkins), and John Deere engines & JCB digger

Any recommendations on places to order from?

You could try Joe O'Connell, Hollyford Co. Tipperary. I know he sells barrells/drums of oil too.

Great, thanks guys. Two lads that are close enough to me but I've not dealt with them before.

Looking at getting a 2nd hand quad. Budget of say €6,000 max. Will be used mainly for licking rushes and other odd bits of jobs. Would rather buy off a decent garage for the ease of servicing or repairs.

We've never owned a quad before so I'm fairly green with them. Anyone have any recommendations? Would the likes of this be a good option?

Like everything quads are quite dear at the minute.

Grizzly 450s are very good. Have one for years and its a trooper. Plenty of power and very reliable. Supposed to be a tiny bit harder on petrol than the Honda's but there isn't much in it.

Full auto cvt gearbox in them which is very reliable.

The Honda's of that era are great too and the electric shift is quite nice to use as well if you fancied a more manual box.

Get a reasonably well minded Yamaha, Honda or Suzuki and it's hard go too far wrong. 400+cc and 4x4 and you'll be fit for any job.

At that kind of a budget you would nearly buy a new CF Moto 450. Have one here for the past 2 and half years and going very well. Well specced and they seem to have a good network of dealers around the country who would have been selling quads before taking on this brand. Had a Honda 300 for 18 years before that, but stuff from that vintage were a serious build quality

Tm 155 ran low of back end oil, anyway brakes arent working. What is the best way to bleed them

2 bleed nuts at top of hubs,and another on trailer brake valve

Though id imagine,your brake o-rings are gone hard,and its leaking into backend oil......would it have 8 to 10,000 hours

Is the reservoir empty?

Any chance the low oil caused the back end to get hot

It's most likely the reason for no breaks, but you probably still need to investigate why it's empty in the first place.

We just got the new Holland mechanic out to do it. 2 person job. Well one of us and the mechanic. At least we knew it was done right

Can be done with one person with an easy bleed kit. I've got one that connects to a valve on one of the tyres and uses the air pressure to bleed the system.

I had to buy an extra lid and drill a hole in it for my fluid reservoir as none included in the kit fitted.

Surely one of the biggest shocks in recent years in the trade.

Definitely. Has to be a massive branch with all the tractors out on hire. It'll be some loss for New Holland if its not resolved though. Were they paying for their tractors i wonder to compensate for the new branch? That's what happened with the New Holland Dealer in West Cork a few years back. Big losses on stocks and selling new tractors that he wasn't paying for!
