Deere-est Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 wel to be honest it ant aa tonne itss more like 900kgs Are you lot asleep? I said that pages ago too. Nobody listens to us Hobbits. They are normally sold in 1t bags at 900kgs to allow for 100kgs of moisture. Also in 900kg bags you get two three more bags on an artic load by dry wieght. Cubic metre/Volume is so that dry or wet you get the same quantity which is what we do for the firewood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted October 9, 2009 Author Share Posted October 9, 2009 well... dear old Hattie had a minor hick-up today... there I was... minding my own business.. and the charging light came on..... I popped the bonnet to find the main auxillary belt had jumped off for some strange reason... I made a quick call to my local dealers... they were on site within 20 minutes.. and I'd guess they were 19 minutes away from me ! - not bad service hey.... Anyway... the belt was re-installed... and she's been fine ever since \ Let's just hope it was a one-off :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ferguson Posted October 9, 2009 Author Share Posted October 9, 2009 I could have put it back mate... but I didn't have a socket set on me (needed a ratchet to take the tension off the idler)... but I did have a phone... and a radio to listen too while I was waiting :D - She's under warranty... so I may as well make use of it I reckon :D I was moving 20t of toppy and some cow poo... that sledge is in use every year I believe too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh Seany, you do make I laugh! It couldn't have been under too much pressure else it wouldn't have jumped off would it?! :D It happens Marky, you used to be a fitter so you would have known if it were serious. I expect the belt had just stretched and needed retensioning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted October 11, 2009 Author Share Posted October 11, 2009 Indeed... it's got one of those 'modern fangle' tensioners... that makes their own tension... spring loaded... so the stretch is taken up automatically.. I suspect it was just one of those freak happenings that won't happen again (with a bit of luck) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted November 27, 2009 Author Share Posted November 27, 2009 I did mention on here a few days ago... I've treated Hattie to some additional front work lights... although the roof mounted ones are good and bright... with the loader on they just reflect from the beams... so I've bought the side light versions.. should have had them factory fitted really I guess... but i was too tight at the time to do it... The wiring loom is all but complete... so it was just the two light units, one small loom and a switch.. They are blooming good too... nice spread of light now for yard work with the loader...

denis086 Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 those side lights make all the difference dont they especially around yards at night im having two fitted on the back of our 3085 for working but we were afraid to put 2 more on the front in case the alternator couldnt cope so ill have to make do you lucky sod with a lovely new massey every fortnight nearly at this stage no wonder your skint :'( must go ask my dad why hes skint and still has no new massey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted November 28, 2009 Author Share Posted November 28, 2009 ;D - thanks Dennis... I'm totally skint now mate I can sssure you... I think I am right in saying that MF offerd an upgraded alternator on the 3000 series as part of the worklight kit... 105amp/hr if that sounds right Interestingly.. there is no such offer of an upgrade on the 5400's Now then... lets have a look at that 3085 please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
