Hi All, I have some land that is well and truly compacted due to building work\lorries etc. passing over it. I am looking to break this up so I can sow the grass seed before it is too late. There is no grass\plants growing on it so it is bare soil but may have some debris in it. What is the...

Hi, I am trying to create new paddocks on circa 3 acres of land which are currently overgrown with weeds\brambles etc. I was thinking of harrowing the existing area, rolling it, broadcast seeding, rolling again to create the paddocks. I have read online that a seed drill is more effective...

Hi All, Does anyone know how to reset the service indicator on the 1500 series of tractors? Thanks, Kevin

Hi, I am enjoying using my MF1547 and the front loader has come in really useful. However I will soon need to start using the backend of the tractor as it were. Currently the drawbar is in place and I have read that I may need to remove it if using the 3 point hitch combined with PTO for...

Hi, This is a bit of a newbie question but my tractor has multiple places to engage a gear or netural, you have the range selection and the direction setting e.g. high range, mid range, low range, netural and forward, backward and netural). If I want to stop the tractor I can stop and get out...

Hi All, I have just purchased a second hand Massey Ferguson 1547 and clocked up the hours to take it to its next service. I feel able to service it myself looking at a copy of the service schedule however I was wondering how I reset the inspection light when done. Anyone have any ideas...
