That's the same set up as my neighbour was using but as the chaser wagon was a converted harvester I did not like going quicker on the fields with a full load on especially if it was wet and as it is oil driven it used to put a lot of strain on the pumps which at £3000+ each time they exploded took a lot of sticking the faster speeds on the road are ok as not much drag and would not normally be loaded ,so that is why he cut the front of his and turned it into a trailed chaser then tractor does the pulling and PTO driven pump drives the unloading elevator 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 un-expected afternoon off after i had to put my van in the garage this morning due to a horrible noise on the brakes ,it was booked in for 3 weeks time as i thought they were getting low, but after getting ripped apart by the garage forman about why i left them so long, i then got a call from him asking me to come down,followed by an big appology ,it turns out the reason i had no idea until early this week when i first caught the noise , that they were low is none of the pad sensor wires were connected, prob not been since it was made, both still strapped up to the fittings, good old itallian quallity control, ok to laugh now but also sort of dangerous hence a company alert gone out to check others , wish the speed limiter was disconected at times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well my mate is the one on the digger that's doing the good job he has not driven one for 17 years as he has been a mechanic repairing them for a plant hire company but long story short he wonted to go self-employed but just needed a shove to do it as his boss had been giving him a hard time last year or so, so I said to him that there is a minimum of 3 weeks work to do here if it helps plus you can use my barn as and when repair jobs come in to get you started to which he said I will hand my notice in on Friday be with you Monday morning and I do agree he has done a good job so far 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
