Yes, this is kind of what I'm thinking of. Just a simple way to take power from the tractor battery. So many things have a knack of breaking down in places only accessible by the tractor

Has anybody fitted contacts to the outside of their tractors for connecting jump leads to and how would you do it? It's such a nuisance having to take of both side panels to get to the battery terminals for a couple of seconds use and of course there's that spinning fan inches away. L3450GST

I plan to get some fishing done this year. I don't even care if i catch nothing :D

These are OK, but certainly no bigger

I recently found out about Train Mountain. Now that is dedication https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Train_Mountain_Railroad

I hope Ray got out ok :D

Started with melon, then locally caught crab, prawns & lobster. Followed by the traditional turkey, ham, sprouts, roast potatoes and stuffing. Side options of carrots and parsnips, courgettes and garlic potatoes and brocolli. For dessert sherry trifle and fresh fruit salad with cream or custard...

I thought you were supposed to keep the 'shine a secret :D

I'm afraid I'm the same, or worse. :D There is a tradition here called "The Wren Boys" It happens on 26th of Dec where the kids dress up and go around to the houses singing and playing tunes. I try to be in the pub when they call :D

A couple of days ago I used it to drive some fencing stakes. I just went ahead with a crowbar and started the holes then stood up the stakes, then came along with the FEL and pushed them into the ground. It was fairly soft ground but it was a heck of a lot easier than swing a 28# sledge :D Might...

I would agree with the post about Billy going mad with the drill being a reason no holes are allowed. Except take it closer to home: you drill a couple of holes for lights and find that the location doesn't suit, drill 2 more in a more suitable position. A few years down the road the lights are...

My feeling would be that if it can lift it you're fine. If it was too heavy for the tractor the pressure release would prevent the tractor from lifting it, thereby harming itself (if it hasn't been shimmed). Especially if you are only going to be doing it 6 or so times. Just take it steady any...

Not much fun but, deep breath and relax, and its done.

No, you are not straining your 4wd with a disc harrow in the field. Most of the posts in this thread do not seem to understand how 4wd (or front wheel assist)works. Basically, when in 2wd you are really in 1wd because as soon as 1 wheel hits a slippy spot that wheel starts spinning and you are...

I just stick with the thumbnail sizes, but you must reduce your photo size. 1064 x something rings a bell. I haven't a clue how you get the big photos, but, then again, nothing I do is so important that I have to change how the site loads

Don't mean to take away from your project (which looks beautiful), BUT, you need to connect the lower lift arms at least halfway up the front of the weight. At the moment, going by your photos, you are carrying the weight above the centre of your back axle. The weight needs to be be as low as...

My leak in that area turned out to be coming from the power steering caused by a loose jubilee clip on the return pipe. Hope that helps

This was the first thing that came into my head too

Nice set-up. But please, never go under an unsupported loader.
