Hi Guys, been a while since I posted. I recently bought this compact high tip skip dumper (first pic). I'm not sure if you have an equivalent in US. Their primary use here is for narrow access construction work and for load transfer to transport skips (second pic). The skip can lift 1 metric...

Thought I might show you guys my recent project just completed. It is a Case (David Brown) 1294 FWD manufactured in 1985. Purchased just over a year ago in reasonable mechanical order, but starting to get tatty after life on a mixed farm, last used as the yard scraper tractor, which usually...

As usual, participating in these forums has got me wanting something I didn't know I needed. The latest is a thumb for my 1.5 tonne mini-excavator. (Any of you wanting to see it can have a look under photo section). After browsing search history form many late nights and plagerising ideas, I...

I just picked up a milemarker 9000 hydraulic winch unused on e-bay. Arrived today. Comes complete with control gear, hoses, solenoids and remote winch control switch. It was a bit of an impulse buy, as I had always thought a winch would be very handy for logging windfall timber from the local...

Found this posted as news on a gadget site today. Totally awesome. A subsiduary company of JD, hence posted in this forum. Are wheels becoming a thing of the past? Spider harvester

Just saw this Ford 1920 for sale on e-bay UK. I have never seen turfs this size before. It makes "galaxy's" look skinny. Anyone able to beat this on a compact? Ford 1920

Well, I just received in the mail today, Planning permission for extension to the house and for a new shed. Guess which one is being built first I've already started the footings in anticipation of the approval. Glad it came through. Shed is going to be a 30' x 20'ft lightweight steel box...

Turfs to Industrial R4\'s - what size? I recently posted on the merits of mixing R1's and R3's. Most said don't do it. One suggestion was to swap out entirely to R4's which will have equivalent sizes. Given this, can someone with more knowledge than me give R4 sizes equivalent to 212 x 80D -15...

I currently have an Iseki TE4270 (TL2500F in USA), set up with Turfs all round. The fronts are Bridgestone PD1's 212 x 80D - 15. Rears are Bridgestone PD1's 333 x 80D - 20. I have just found a set of Bridgestone Farm Service LUG tires (AG's) and rims, size 8-16 for the front. Two questions...

Hi all, I haven't posted for a while. Have dropped in ocassionally, but work has kept me away from from tractor and from home on regular basis for past few months. Anyhow. I have come across a Rotomec T30-150 tiller at the right money. 18mths old, but still partially wrapped on delivery pallet...

I have noticed on some recent posts where tire pressures are being lowered for grass cutting on soft ground. I don't cut grass with the tractor (at present), but do use it for fertiliser spreading. With my sticky ground you do not go onto it at all when wet or damp. (I do have turfs on) I...

I have recently come across a Kuhn EL 35 tiller for sale. I am told it was manufactured in 1997 and only used for preparing seed beds in a market garden. The tiller is 1.2m wide (4ft) with an adjustable offset of 150mm (6"). From the attached photographs it appears genuine and in very good...

Has anyone ever considered building a FEL by adapting a skid steer loader arm assembly. I know where I can find a burnt out skid steer (I think Bobcat). The machine is ruined due to a cab fire, and has been standing for perhaps 2 yrs. It just struck me that modification might be better than...

A \"REAL\" Chinese Tractor I have posted this picture here since the title suits best. Although, as you can see from the picture, this may be better under "build it yourself" My Brother in law and his wife were in China just before Christmas and adopted a lovely little girl. While there, they...

I want to swap out turfs with Ag or industrials for more grip. My tractor is more often used for trailering and general fork duties etc. I do not mow any grass with it. Current turfs are Bridgestone 212 x 80D - 15 fronts and 355 x 80D - 20 rears. I would like to change over without changing...

Hi Guys, finally bought new tipping trailer today. Took almost a year to find the right model to suit tractor and then to gather up the finance to finally buy it. Trailer is rated a 2 tonne capacity, has a 9' x 5' bed and LGP tires. Tipping ram is two stage. The cost was £1,000 or $1,500 USD...

Recently posted a 3ph pallet fork on "build it yourself" To balance the load, I needed front weights. Called into local 2nd hand tractor dealers for some ideas. Showed me out to his rear yard, about 60 complete sets of weights for every "common" tractor make. "Something there should fit" Had the...

Thought this might be of interest to someone. Picked up a set of forklift toes at the right price from local auction yard. They had 3 sets of varying sizes lying around for several months. Kept an eye on them and were not shifting. Made auction house a private sale offer. I took the smallest to...

Anyone out there have any idea where to get replacement seat for TL 2500F other from OEM. Original seat cover is torn and foam is now split in several places. Am able to buy from Northern Tool here in the UK, but not sure which seat will fit. I previously bought a Multi purpose suspension seat...

I have a Kubota 12hp B6000 circa 1984 which I bought as a grey import 2 yrs ago. The dealer at the time told me the tractors were split and shipped to UK in crates where they reassembled and checked them over. Tractor runs great for something so small. However, with purchase of 30hp Iseki last...
