I am going to view a used 2008, 900hrs Kioti DK551C with FEL tomorrow and would like some pointers of what to look out for - common faults, wear points etc... The tractor appears to be priced too cheap, but I do know of the owner (a competitor) and know he is getting out of contracting because...

Jonny - I took a look today at the 204S we've got. I was wrong before - the cylinder (16 on the attached diagram) is fixed to the cylinder cap (14 - located outside of the oil housing). I cannot see how it is fixed, but I assume you have checked that there is no obvious thread designed to screw...

Thanks Steve - that's interesting to know and clearly a similar situation to the UK. According to Dairyco (a UK government organisation which is paid for by a levy paid by milk producers), the UK average milk price paid to farmers for November 2014 was 28.91 ppl (pence per litre). It is...

Although now living in Spain, I originate from the UK where I had a dairy farm milking 400 NZ Jersey x British Friesian cows. During my time milking there were some very tough times where the price we received did not cover the cost of production for long periods - and while this was not my main...

Where we are in southern Spain, firewood is at a premium - not too many trees around and all the pine is protected! A lot of people here have started using old IBC cages - the metal cages fitted to pallets which have a liquid tank inside. They take the tanks out, leaving the cage and then fill...

Had a call this morning from my neighbor - I normally service and do any repairs for him in exchange for borrowing his tractor if we need an extra one for our contracting business. My problem is that I am currently working away and don't get home until late - so any ideas or experience on...

I'm hoping some one can help me quickly.... I've got to ship a NH366 small baler from UK to Spain - but cannot find the dimensions / weights anywhere to get a quote. I can't access to the baler for a few days so can't measure it myself. Does anyone know (or know where i can find) the...

Hola all ! Just wanting some suggestions / ideas from anyone who has experience feeding round bale silage. I have plenty of experience making and feeding both clamp and baled silages in the past - but since my true farming days are behind me, I have a new problem as rather than feeding several...

What about this? We had this made for de-stoning. It does clog up sometimes if there is lots of weed, but if you added depth wheels it would probably do a great job on sand...

Our Case CK28 & Cat 302.5... You can see vids of them & some of our other toys (sorry I mean equipment) on our youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/LocalmotionSiromer :thumbsup:

Thought you might like to see my new bonnet mascot on my Fiat New Holland 50-86vi... :D

As the title says - looking for tips from those who have experience of building a proper loose hay stack... I have plenty of experience of baling when I was in the UK, but around here balers are few and far between and contractors charge heavily!. Often when we clear plots of land there is...

I'm hoping someone here more mechanically minded than myself might be able to help / advise me... :confused: First I apologise that this is not a machinery question, but instead relates to my 14 year old Petrol Mitsubishi Carrisma - in my experience the quality of mechanical advice is far...

I've also considered a side discharge (like the photo, not the chain type), and wondered if an old chipper could be converted? I thought maybe it could be adapted with a large vertical hopper to hold the waste, feeding into the chopper unit, with the discharge tube angled 45 degrees to the side...
