Stuarty C Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 just the other day are claas 3050tc mower tried to put a 18 inch long stump of telegraph pole through her, she didnt like :'( damaged the bed, bent the conditioner and stripped a few cogs in the gearbox :'( the bed and conditioner can be fixed by dealer but they want to replace the gearbox which will cost around 3 to 4 grand. i have tried searching for Bap which is the name on the gearbox to see if i can find a dealer or someone who fixes these or supplies parts but no joy \ has anyone had any experiences of these gear boxes or no anything about them help very much appreciated thanks in advance Stuart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 has the pole only just been taken down mate?? if so call the company and tell them to pay, when they take a pole down its ment to come right out stump and all, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuarty C Posted June 3, 2009 Author Share Posted June 3, 2009 Im unsure what really happened it could have been a cutting of a pole used as a stay \ i dont know for sure i ask the boss whos pole it was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Sound like a very expensive repair. I though most choppers have metal detectors but who would have thought you would need a wood detector too ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 even if its used as a stay point it should be marked,yellow wrapping on a bt one and would have the stay wire of it,might be leccy board if so its usally got a palnk of wood on a stay wire for them, , thats the only 2 you will find ,if its recently been cut down, then i would say you have a good chance of getting the dosh, i had to stop one of my work mates leaving a big pile of rocks ontop of a backfilled hole with a burried joint in it, which he thought was a good marker point, didnt think of the results of the farmers mower going over it and the costs to repair, blade and grannit rocks dont mice, clearly neither do blades and a pole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuarty C Posted June 3, 2009 Author Share Posted June 3, 2009 yeah, i see were your coming from, have a word to him when he comes home from holidays biggest shame about it is that it had only cut around 140 acres and at them minutes its scrape :'( Think youve miss understood BC its a mower not a harvester Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unkelfergus Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 metal cogs he want isnt it didnt know they did them ??? They make any cog to pattern, metal or plastic, the wrapper ones were plastic.,( you were right Cerin, blooming numptys arent they for not looking at that topic very closely ;) ) They will be able to do the job but the only trouble is , they are in Rochester, Kent. Google them,APG Developments.(ALL PULLEY AND GEAR DEVELOPMENTS). The man to speak to is Mick,........extremely helpful. As I say ,the only problem is that they would need the patterns.
