The clutch cable on my Iseki tu220f snapped today. Does anybody know if any other model Iseki clutch Cable is the same. I haven't been into the local Iseki shop yet but was hoping to be able to quote some other model numbers to them if I need to. I live in france so would like to source one...

Thought I would post some pictures of the new toys that I have got to play with. The excavator is a Mecalac 11 cx which is made in France, it weighs about 8 tons and can be used as a loading shovel, forklift or an excavator. It is supposed to be able to lift over 2.5tons. The tractor is a...

Has anyone built a 3pt post bumper/driver? I have about 2000mtrs of post and rail to put up and was thinking of building some sort of post bumper to help me out. If anyone has any pictures of ones they have built then that would be great, as I haven't found many decent detailed pictures yet...

My friends TL2701 has developed a very heavy power steering. The fluid is to the level in the resevoir but we dont know where to find any filters on the system, any advice would be helpful. Jon

Went into the local scrapyard and picked up this forklift for the price of scrap. I can take any leftover bits back to the yard and they will take the weight off the price I have to pay. I have started to strip it down to make it into a 3pt mounted lift. I will post some more pics when it is...

The other day I was looking at the Regional forum, but now I cant find where it was located, could somebody please point me in the right direction. Thanks Jon

Here are some pictures of the snow we had the other week, it was between 40 and 60cm deep and I was snowed in for 8 days. I managed to get some tractor time cutting paths to the chicken and sheep sheds as well as trying to clear the road to my house so all was not so bad.

Here is a picture of my Avto that I bought last year. It is Russian built and has about 45hp needs a respray but it works ok. I use it to run my topper and also to power my case square baler also for mucking out the sheep pens. I dont suppose you had this brand in the States. It is a 1984 model...

I have an old powerfab towable backhoe that has a problem with the hydraulics. All the rams are the same size but the one that lifts the dipper arm up into the air is really underpowered, and struggles to lift a bucket of muck up. Has anyone any ideas what could be causing this. it is fitted...

I have an iseki tu220f that is a great tractor. the only thing is that when using my flail or rotary mower, when i depress the clutch the momentum of the mower pushes the tractor along by forcing the wheels to turn. is this normal? and if it is can i buy anything that will stop this happening...

I have just bought a chinese made flail mower and it works real good. In the manual it says to use type 45 oil in the gearbox. can anyone tell me what this is or an equivilant i can use.

here's a bucket i made for my 3pt hitch, made it out of an old diesel storage tank i was given and had the other bits lying around waiting to be used. the hydralic ram i found in a skip with 3 others and the hoses as well. so all it has cost me is a bit of time and consumables.
