I hope so ken. It is handy to take down the woods to do the processing on site as it were.

Ooo it might do. I will tell Roberty and see what he has got. Thanks for the recommendation 😀

You a disco man?

Yes that is correct 😀

We have a bit of footage of the 3075 cab swap we hope to put together in the near future.

Nice bit of kit Lisa

We will have to be more specific about the answers next time 🤣

Yes that was it 😀

I was gutted We found a good one in Brigg though.

Yes we fitted the headstock frame to take the top link to make it easier to get across the fields and stream to the island field.

@Lisa_Turner ah

Yeh can never have too much light output as an operator. 😀

Still on drum brakes. Looked at converting to ford ranger discs and callipers but never bothered as getting it to look tidy for tbe master cylinders was proving a big challenge and going to be in the way of other things. Going to have trailer brakes so tbe drum brakes work reasonably well for me at tbe moment.

They sound mega i reckon

They do sound the business but mine is a bit loud 😂

They certainly do Mick. And the best part is if i was to fit additional work lights jist the rocker switch is a good chunk towards the lights i bought. Really please with the result.

Thank ypu Gerard. I am really please with the result

Hi Jaden. The linkage is standard expept for cat 2 hook ends. The top link has a bracket fabricated by me. The pick up hitch is a standard two wheel drive ford unit with all the brackets designed and fabricated by me.

@@Lisa_Turner I should have been more clear I was talking about the front my apology

Need the warmth this time of the year Phillip

We will try 😀

I think that is a great idea

Thank you

Yes i think they are the way forward. It was worth a try though 😀

781 mm centre to centre width. I thought it was a heva or flezicoil myself.

Will do Mick

Thank you it is not rubbish though. It is all treasures 😀

Apart from your spelling of plough ​@@Lisa_Turner

He is a star in my eyes

We best find some more treasures in the brambles then 😀

Thank you Abbie 😀

Welcome to the channel. Hope you enjoy it. 😀

Hi Scoatie. The kongskilde will be to go down thw rows for potatoes and swedes/fodderbeat thst we grow as animal feed. The wheels are a very good point. We was only mounting them at the back as it was the original insrallation point but as you say when the soil is lifted one side and not the other this will have an effect on the depth. We will have to look at mounting them towards the front like you suggest. I do not know if the link pins are the correct spacing to go on the front but i think they will be as we made adaptor brackets for them to be cat 2 and accept the hook ends. Yes visability out the front will be good for the rows but we are then compacting the soil with the tractor. I am not sure what you mean when you say About running 3 rows and sweep tines?

Hi Scoatie. Do you mean set up up like a flat lift or similar? We will be using depth wheels at the back where the ducks feet are. I think your sweep points are the same as ducks feet but not sure. My thought was if i have tines at the front i can use them to dig more or less depending on conditions but i have never had to inter row weed before to know what works and what does not. I take it with the arrangement that you mention the headstock will have to be fixed and not pivot like the Kongskilde one does at the moment?

Yes it is a bit of a pain. I am looking for a raised pto unit if you know of any?

No sorry. If it was mine I would sell it to a Ford enthusiast and for about the same money buy something like an IH 574 that has a lot more power and better pto system, plus synchro gears, power steering, auto pick up hitch in the same size of tractor. Probably not you want to hear though. But I wouldn’t start modifying it, unless you can gear the pto speed down easily.

​@@andyfarms9653 i hear what you are saying. When all the modifications were made it was never going to be used as a working tractor. Just a road run and show tractor that could be used to tow a trailer or operate the forklift at home. Yes i completely agree if i was going to get a tractor for working a ford 4000 four or 5610 etc... will be a far better machine for working as will other brands around the 60hp size that have better hydraulics and ipto clutch. While it is on the farm it is able to do a few jobs and play at others to see how much it can do safely. 2wd is a big drawback as it not having ipto clutch. But many people still use them sucessfuly and tbh the mf 3075 is prefered for most of the smaller jobs.

Fair enough Lisa. The odd load with the rota spreader is okay, but as you say, you have the 3075 for the heavier work. Handy to have a spare tractor around for those odd jobs.

I hope they dry out enough for us to use in time 😀

Hi Phillip. Yes it is a cracking little set up to really get through the timber with one loading and one splitting

Thanks Phillip. Have to wait till later this year now to try the inter row weeder, hooing for a good result with it now.

@Lisa_Turner look forward to seeing it

Womans parogative James. If i get on with them then i know they sre done 🤣

Cannae beat a tidy bush

Hi Scoatie. We will keep an eye on the chain tension like you say. Don't want to make more porblems through lack of maintenance. The box from the A frame for the 3poi t linkage has a pivot mechenism which gives a good range of movement to allow for peaks and troughs. I did siggest a strap but there was concerns that it might get caught in the machine and do damage. I will see when ee can do a bit of a video on it.

Riding mowers? Not sure what you arw looking for and what machine?

@Lisa_Turner I saw one small tractor(probably a mower I think) in a video about moving tires from about four years ago

That is a very good guess. I will be posting the results in a few weeks to give some more people a chance.

We only did the first four rows. The rest is swedes mainly. Most of the spuds were lifted with a fork due the weather.

You the dog &Robert looked like you were having fun picking sweeds

I am looking for a raised pto if you see any about. Yeh 540 pto is at 1200 rpm. Not ideal but is right where the torque is

Would only ever try and move it around the yard in low box. Don't thinknit will have the power or grip to get up the hills.

Was hoping for an idea of how to collect them 😍 but i was wondering what would happen if you went down the row a second time. Would thst clean them enough to drop in a box on a sledge?

I thought that but roberty wanted less rpm. We did plant four rows of spuds but most were lifted with a fork due to the wet weather. The rest is mainly swedes

Thank you John. Roberty helps too in his own special way 🤣

Thanks Nick 😀

Thanks Davey happy new year to you too 😀

Thanks Gerard. I was amazed how eaisily everything except the haulm roller depth wheels freed off.
