I keep it tidy as I go. Not because I'm a particularly tidy person, more that I hate "tidying up" and I just know that if I let my guard down, it'll turn into something resembling a war zone which will never be tidied up again. That, and the tanker driver and dairy inspector get sh*tty when...

Yep, job done and it's back in the box with the rest of the set. In the vice, welded with 0.9mm ESAB Coreshield 15 wire.

Whatever gets the job done, right? It hasn't broken yet, but I don't have much faith in it.

Don't expect much change out of 4 grand for the job, drive in/drive out. My local parts supplier has the clutch pack for the AgroFarm 100 & Explorer 100 (not sure if the Lambo is the same?) listed at $1564 NZD + GST. It's listed as a "Clutch Pack F/R", I'm guessing you need two if you're going...

Has the dealer been out with the laptop to try calibrating the shuttle ECU?

Has anyone tried switching the solenoids?

As long as you're never going to be mowing silage/hay, Maxam 3300 with wilters. Pretty much bulletproof and they hold their value (well, they do here anyway).

What would happen if you paint double yellow lines where you don't want people to park? You might be pleasantly surprised? Or at the very least, it gives you some "evidence" for the insurance photos.

I sold 5 young, high index empty cows directly out of the paddock via the local stock agent about a month ago, to date I haven't had any paperwork or payment. I've got sick of chasing the agent around in circles, now I've started hounding the office lady. Grrrrrr. Tempted to just go and get...

Now that's what I call customer service (y)

I personally wouldn't hesitate to do it, but I wouldn't be drilling into the pole. The above idea with the band clamps is the way to go, that way if some jumped-up, hi-vis wearing clipboard warrior gets their undies in a twist, you can remove it.

Keep your hands off the chequebook and pay some tax. Patience young grasshopper. They're not desperate enough yet......who knows, at the rate the economy is slowing down, they'll be running "buy one get one free" deals on new tractors shortly.

Wind up the backing gate in the yard, squeeze them up a bit and put some pressure on to "make" them come in. It's a bad habit that they get into, it's a time and money killer and you've got to nip it in the bud. I get it occasionally, usually it's some big fat bossy b*tch who doesn't want to go...

Out of curiosity, what's wrong with PayPal?

If in doubt, cull. If you don't, it'll almost always bite you in the ass.
