Gav836 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Had a little black box fitted to my Ford Ranger this afternoon, having driven it back the fuel economy is up by 6 mpg and it drives even better than it did as standard. Based on the miles I do now it should really make some savings 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chip is removable so big advantage and can be reprogrammed when I change the truck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 after a lot of pondering this afternoon,i think i have solved a swapable system for the rear tyre/hubs on the mf3000 build, no glue to fix it preminatly, so not started the standard rears just yet, but pretty certain its ok, although it may just push the track out a mm or so each side, also sourced te parts for the fronts, just need to finalise the hubs/ tyres i am going to use for them. want the tractor to be the base unit for the new sprayers and my beet harvester rather than have two seperate tractors 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 844john Posted May 14, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 14, 2019 Our daughter making it through to the final of the BBC Radio 2 500 words writing competition! She'll be off to Windsor Castle next month along with the other finalists and will be on the Zoe Ball breakfast show live from the castle when they reveal the winners. Needless to say, we have one very excited twelve year old in our house at the moment! Her story is on the 500 words web page and if you'd like you can have a read or a listen to it, it's called "The day the door opened" by Emily Gibson. An excited twelve year old.....I can see I'll be spending more time in my shed. . 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
