Our T5.120 won't release the pressure in the trailer brake valve. If the tractor is turned off the pressure seems to go and the tractors own brakes aren't on all the time so it seems the hydraulic oil that powers the trailer brakes isn't returning to the system as it should , any ideas ?

Someone said today that the best smell is freshly rolled cereals in the spring. My entry would be freshly spread rotten muck in the autumn or possibly freshly mown grass. Any other thoughts?

I have a load of potential new hedges I have identified and have these been approved of by the national park ecologist. I don't want to press on and find I have missed the chance to sell BNG credits on them in the future. I am struggling to find information on what value is put on new hedges...

Well they are aren’t they? Thwarting attempts by the democratically elected government to discourage illegal immigration. Throttling the economy with complex and highly restrictive planning processes. You can’t even divert a public footpath for health and safety reasons with any guarantee of...

Just wondered on the state of peoples farms, personally I strongly dislike a messy farm with junk and rubbish getting in the way but not everyone feels as strongly as me it seems unfortunately. Its improving but not its not as good as I would like. How about your farm?

Spirit Levels. What’s the point of them on Farm Machinery? Have them on Manitou & Lemken machines here. Neither anywhere accurate. Somebody could have done with one when fitting it:ROFLMAO: What other useless features have others come across on their machines?

We don’t employ any staff but were told by our insurers today that our tractor and loader needs to have a LOLER certificate. Does anyone else do this?

Hi hoping someone can help shed some light. I have a 3215 telehandler that used to start on the button, now.... If its below 17c it wont start unless its sprayed with easy start, quick spray and it fires straight up, after running it for about a minute it will happily start straight back up...

One of the large pins on my plough won't take grease from one side, is there anything I can put down it to unblock it ? I'm NOT removing the pin, I've tried carb cleaner, brake cleaner and a grease nipple unblocker tool that you hit with a hammer(waste of time) anyone any suggestions that...

Plant based dairy free alternative to cheese marketed under Cathederal City label. Baring in mind how many hopps we jump through and how hard the majority of dairy farmers work, its nothing short of insulting to market a dairy free 'cheese' with the Cathederal City logo. . Or am I being too...

When we moved in, this was in the stables, but was very rusty. A bit of work this morning and we're back to this, and now sharp enough to cut baler twine on bales. So it's at least useful again From the markings it's a Cornelius Whitehouse and son of Cannock, 9.5" blade. A bit of googling...
