We have shared a mower and a precision chop harvester between ourselves and neighbour for 30 years. About once every 3 or 4 years we'd be looking for the mower on the same day but it is always taken in turns. Repairs are done together and parts costs are split down the middle.

as long as you get on well with the person you are sharing with its fine, we have a cattle trailer between us and our cousin, works well for us, there are decs and all in it for his sheep- only downer is having to put the decks back up when we collect the trailer

What is a better alternative than a haybob for tedding and rowing silage for a round baler?
Something a 590 2wd would drive.

I get my contractor to mow my silage,

I then use my hay Bob to ted out the rows, contractor comes back before bailing with his rake to row in.

I still would not get rid of the hay Bob, handy if the weather ever does come for hay too.

Not considering it's the opposite side of the spreader

Believe it or not its actually in the spreader !

Was looking at a new tractor maybe to buy. Not sure if it's a ts or tl 90 as I was nosing from a distance. It's 02 with a good loader and spotless clean. I've to get back to the owner this week, what's it worth or any thing to look out for?

Its fits allright - but only just, 100% water measure.
Plan is to pick up a better hopper extension some day and have a bit more comfort.

About €27k depending on condition if donedeal is to be believed. Definitely worth 25. Hold out for an electronic shuttle rather than a manual as the manual have a dry clurch and will go about every 2000 hours on a loader unit even with a good operator.

Done deal has a lot of expensive scrap, rare enough to find a good one. At that sort of money I'd rather go new

It has to be fair but they are bringing that. They are a super little tractor that punch above their weight imo. You would pay the bones of that for a 390 ten yeats older and not nearly as user friendly a tractor.
Similar new will cost about €60k new with a loader fitted iirc.

Have the same spreader here (without the extension) on a 135.
Max that gets put in is 4 bags - any more makes the job dodgier than it is already...

Oh, to have flat ground

What kinda work were you planning for it?

Have looked a a fair amount of them at this stage. LHS shuttle on the steering is a better option alright for loader work but the do come with a premium.

TL can come with a manual shuttle the same as the 76/6635/L85. TS can have the RHS shuttle like in the seris 40's.

TL is based on the fiat heratige and is smaller and lighter with less extras but a a great stockman tractor.

TS is a step up from the seris 40, bigger more comfortable cab. Was looking a a nice one in west cork a few weeks back turbo engine so about 100 hp, price around 20k+vat.

just a basic tractor for fertiliser shear grab and general handy work round the yard. I wouldn't be too fond of machinery (always got by with an 885).The lack of a 40k box is killing me with an outfarm
And even doing the simplest of tasks. I'm working full time so time can be a major problem sometimes.
I always intended just spending 12-14 k but it's hard getting anything half decent at that so I was thinking I'd go a bit newer and try get something fairly decent, I'm vat registered so I can claim that back anyway.

I'd say shop around a bit, everyone is looking for that kind of tractor and there isn't a huge amount of them around.
12-14k will get you a decent yoke but probably about 20-25 yrs old. You be looking around 20k mark for a late 90's 4wd with loader and 40k box.

Any idea what they were trying to do? Ground round it looks solid enough.

Nekarsulm · 25-05-2015 11:30pm

They seemed to have semi demolished a cottage, one of the type commonly built in the 1950's
Took the walls down to the height of six foot or so. Then were levelling the garden. Might have found an old septic tank. Near Ballinahown .

bought a secondhand set off a gangster from here. mx 75u loader on a 105hp 4 cylinder tractor and she is able to handle McHale bales of silage but would want to be careful.

moved a few full IBC tanks at the weekend also. over a ton in them

Call that a grab?
I spotted these when I was out for a run last night.

Great yoke for the turf I'd say?

even the step on the forwarder is hydraulically operated in bottom picture

Serious pieces of kit alright. I run up there regularly and the amount of timber they shift in a day is absolutely phenomenal.

Did you check the hydraulic oil level?

What are you going to do? Will you be able to return it if it doesn't work?

bogman_bass · 26-05-2015 4:38pm

oil levels fine. I dont know. He had to put new brackets on and then modify them to make them fit my loader

Nekarsulm · 26-05-2015 4:48pm

Must be either your tractors hydraulic pump pressure, or a pressure relief valve blowing off. Would you get it checked in a dealership?

Yeah it should be able to lift the back of the tractor. Pm me if you need a mobile case mechanic.

get a pressure gauge and plug it into your valves at the back of the tractor that will give you an idea off the pressure in the system. If its low then change the filters if you haven't done so lately. You might need to get the oil checked as well. It might be no harm to change the oil also. If you do all this and there is little or no improvement then you could be looking at a pump replacement. If the pressure is high then you might need to look at the valve chest of the loader. The relief valve might be set low or the spools in the valves could be worn if it is an old or second hand loader.
