Fenside MF Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 Van insurance going up 200 quid from last year,I thought insurance got cheaper as you got older and more years no claims Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted June 12, 2010 Author Share Posted June 12, 2010 That's because of Dappy, the chav down the road with the squewiff cap with the funny peak, shellsuit trousers round his knees and drives the Halford Saxo with no insurance! For me, shuttle on the TM155 playing up and the radiator and coolers blocking up within half an hour due to light, dry permenant pasture grass I am pushing up in an inside clamp.

Tractorman810 Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 nothing for me, but for some reason seeing as i am quiet and getting on with things, everyone seem to think i am in a bad mood and keeps commenting on it, thus making me feel anoyed ?? sometimes you just can not win can you :D :D :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav836 Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 The insurance hasn't actually changed much on my Discovery in the time I've had which I'm happy about, did try looking about but for the sake of the few £ I could save I decided to stay with the NFU again, its nice to speak to the same person in a local office each time you call as well so I have my contents and Buster insured with them as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenside MF Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 Cheers fellas will give the nfu a ring as they do pickup and light commercial insurance,was only annoyed as exsisting company posted a quote 250 more than last year then I ring them and they knock off 100 \ last year they were the cheapest by miles at 620.Insurance is ridicoulous but you have to have it.

Dan Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 Got a baler from a farm sale after getting it into position to be able to get at it ( was in a low shed blocked by a pheasant turner ) then we broke the foot pump so called for assistance who had another , found the pins we had woldent fit the baler drawbar then once we had hooked up Bang goes one off the tyres \ thankfully one of my spare tractor fronts fitted & so called traffic calming areas , with a baler glad i didnt have anything bigger must be a nightmare with some bits off kit.

Fendt Fahrer Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 overall pretty poor england performance !!!! Green was awfull on the american goal, Lampard was invisible, Heskey, SWP and Lennon should have scored ! On the postive side Glen Johnson played a terrific game and Stevie G scored a nice Goal. Hopefully it will get only better. robert green stops kicks like bp stops oil leaks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denis086 Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 a bloody wire in the seat in the case that goes to the sensor that tells it if your sitting in the seat or not that gets cut if the wire gets caught in the supension and if you put shuttle in gear it sounds a buzzer and then another buzzer because you have the pto going and your not in the seat and because the handbrake isnt on and your not in the seat so 3 different warning sounds going off at the same time all while im sitting in the seat trying to spread slurry i only did 2 loads with it and had a headache so packed it in had a fitter friend out fixing it today he said hes constantly repairing them thats its a design fault were beginning to think case didnt do much thinking when they designed these tractors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Can you not cut that wire and put it in a loop so that prevents that from happening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masseyjack590 Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 two lots of cows both getting out first time they took the gate off its hinges and walked through two fields of wheat before they got near some young beast then the rest of the cows destroyed a gate and walked through a field of wheat and a field of oats before stopping on the silage ground that was cut yesterday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denis086 Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Can you not cut that wire and put it in a loop so that prevents that from happening? i asked him about it and if he did that it over rides the safety feature that stops the shuttle from being engaged when some ones not in the seat and he said he did it on a fair few tractors and he had heard of a few them knocking walls or taking off in fields because they had hit it on the way out i wouldnt be too worried about me doing it but dad would probably manage to do it sometime plus it involved more work to do that and i wanted it fixed so i could get back at it tomorrow but this is the second time its happened so no doubt it will happen again and if were slack ill let him do it its typical of the case though theres allways something wrong with it we were told this by a fella who was a big case follower who had just bought a jd when we were just after buying it "the big things will cost ya and the small things will annoy ya" was how he described his last one we should have listened to him probably Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nashmach Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 what case is it? MXU 135 I am pretty sure - I am waiting on Dinny to get fed up of it and then I'll buy it for half nothing ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nashmach Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 ;D She isn't worth that much now! I'd value her at around the 35k mark to be honest. I hope you put comprehensive on her I'd be getting a second opinion on some of her faults if I was you - even a blue man would do Abbey would only try and rob a poor Wexford man especially next weekend Got some quotes for toppers from them - complete scrap - nearly had a heart attack with the prices :of :of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
