try a new battery. either that or something wrong with the fuses or wiringThe batter light came on and lost all the dash display and the 4wd and diff lock dont switch on either on the cs today when on way home . Checked battery connections and altenator connections and all fuses and no signs of anything loose . Any ideas?
Sounds like something burnt out thenSorted that problem went trough fuses again and found one blown :-) it done everything bar have the dash working no lights on dash wud work but new fuse solved problem . Now i have problem with the high and low on the button on gear handle it keeps jumping to high and wont stay in low i was thinkin buttons maybe fucked theres slight smell of burning plastic
can find those in any office supply shop i'd say. have em to clean up the cable around my desk for the computerWanted a way to tidy GPS cables on the tractor. And remembered an electrician had left a box of sticky pads that you loop a small cable tie through.
A loose loop later and hey presto. Easier than finding tape each time. View attachment 64769
Finally have the mole plough near finished just needs a disc added . Thanks @muckymanor & @jackc for the measurements . Did a neat enough job with no disc today on a trial run . With only one issue arising. Had only a 20 mm bolt and a length of 20 mm threaded bar as pins holding on the leg . First big stone and threaded bar snapped resulting in the leg going back and breaking through the back plate . Back plate trimmed and using 20mm steel bar . It worked away fine . But the bar got fair abuse and not a long term solution. Question is should I keep using mild steel bar for the pins as a sort of break away or lock it up solid. Is there a breakaway on the proper ones ? Blade still has to be able to move up or down for different depths .
That's not bent Nash.......Last year it was a long arm that was bent but this year it was a short one :sweat:
A root of an ash tree did the harm last year, this year more likely to be a flag stone type slab :sweat:

It’s not bent till you make a Sugar Stick of it .
Don't know how you'd bend one like that, drop in sometime and I'll have a straight arm ready for you...And I thought last years version was bad!!!
Suffolk coulter too I see , if it was a hoe it might not be as bad!

bit out of topic but how'd you find the mf30 drills? dad had one years ago, he sold it on but they seem to be still a bit popular. they also seem to be much better on lighter soils than heavier clay soils. would i be right in saying that but that didnt stop the old man from using it for years on our land which is on the heavier side of things
If i ever went into the agriculture game and had a mf30, be tempting to retrofit a spring harrow in front of it to loosen up the ground after the tractorOurs is used as a seed only version on a variety of soils, from medium to slightly marly to shaley ground and I see no difference in it versus a much new drill bar lower output and of course much less initial outlay. You do need ground well prepared in front of it.
Most of them came with track eradicators for just that job.If i ever went into the agriculture game and had a mf30, be tempting to retrofit a spring harrow in front of it to loosen up the ground after the tractor
The gearbox in the twin disc kuhn spreader failed again. Since I have a few 90 degree 1:1 gearboxes here I am tempted to convert it to a single disc. the twin discs are 13 inch diameter each, so a single disc will be 26 inch diameter to have the same spread width. I'll only be able to open one shutter though, as the disc would throw the fertilizer onto the tractor, so half the spread. I have looked in the gearbox and all the gears are the same size except for the agitator, so the discs rotate at 540rpm.
The only issue I can see is that the ram shutter assembly may need to be moved, and maybe an extended vent for the gearbox oil is needed so that it doesn't drain out and remains full of oil.
Thanks for the response. I assume a twin disc spreader has the same characteristic, just that the spread is half as wide so its not as noticeable. I imagine some of the fertilizer from one disc hits the opposite fertilizer from the other disc in the middle and falls there though.You won’t need to double the width of the disc to keep the same spread width, the length of the vein will determine the spread width. The problem you will have is that it will want to spread all to one side unless you can alter where it’s dropping onto the disc. Any single disc spreader I ever saw spread more to on side that the other
