The machine is offsite and I haven&#39;t had a chance to see it yet, but I am told that the problem hose sems to run inside the boom and the driver couldn&#39;t readily see how to access and remove&nbsp;the end inside the boom.</p> <p>&nbsp;I have no experience of repairing&nbsp;telehandlers (this is our first and only one) and it would be really useful if I had some idea of what I am looking at when I go to see the machine. Does anyone know how to access the hose ends inside the boom? Is there an access plate or do you have to remove the boom etc.?</p> <p>Thanks.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>http://www.fwi.co.uk/community/forums/thread/236203.aspxFri, 24 May 2013 20:29:54 GMTa6b0320d-4f3f-4e07-af32-212fe8004f03:236203scoobyflagg0http://www.fwi.co.uk/community/forums/thread/236203.aspxhttp://www.fwi.co.uk/community/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=8&PostID=236203Hi anyone running up from down south up past or to Derbyshire next week with room for a tractor on lorry ?http://www.fwi.co.uk/community/forums/thread/236135.aspxWed, 22 May 2013 20:15:53 GMTa6b0320d-4f3f-4e07-af32-212fe8004f03:236135welshnwilling9http://www.fwi.co.uk/community/forums/thread/236135.aspxhttp://www.fwi.co.uk/community/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=8&PostID=236135<p>&nbsp;We have an aluminum canopy on our pick-up and I can&#39;t seem to stop it rattling.

As for fendt, the 714 i drove over the summer was a very overrated piece of kit. its all fine and well producing such a large amount of power from engines of such small displacement, but look what happens to valmets! And as for the vario tranismission and little computer that you have in the cab, i doubt that any fendt drivers on here will argue that they boost productivity any more than a tractor without one. Besides, the TS was hardly a real success for new holland, or else they would still be on the market. How many contractors operate new hollands? Erm.... thats because the older ones such as the 8560 and 8360 of a certain contractor i know blew up and needed a major engine overhaul every 1000 hours. Running costs are nothing like a JD's. As as for price; you get what you pay for.

The faulty pump was only 10 mths old so I was expecting a new pump under warranty as they come with 12 mths warranty. Have received a letter from the dealer today to say that Claas won&#39;t stand by the pump as it wasn&#39;t fitted by the dealers. It was fitted by our local mechanic who is fully qualified. The pump is a genuine Claas part and costs over £900 + vat. </p><p>I&#39;ve a good mind to put the matter in the hands of our solicitors.

I can&#39;t help it. I just do. The amount of times you think &#39;If only we had a digger&#39;. A farmer down the road has one and it&#39;s massively useful. But Dad keeps saying it&#39;s better to hire one for a weekend for the jobs you want to do. Problem with that is......you don&#39;t bother. They keep their money so well you wouldn&#39;t expect to lose a penny on something in the 5k bracket in terms of depreciation if you looked after it. I&#39;m looking at a 2.5t for a variety of things. Digging obviously but also post rammer and log grab. Anyone run one? Would you be without it? Is it a pain the arris? Better to hire one when you need it? Are you constantly being asked to pop around and clear out a ditch etc? Dad swears by our bobcat skid steer and while it is very useful and being a big one can lift huge fallen oaks, has pallet forks, bucket, grab etc. it&#39;s pretty limited as our land is generally sloping and wet. http://www.fwi.co.uk/community/forums/thread/235782.aspxTue, 14 May 2013 19:35:59 GMTa6b0320d-4f3f-4e07-af32-212fe8004f03:235782Sammer2http://www.fwi.co.uk/community/forums/thread/235782.aspxhttp://www.fwi.co.uk/community/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=8&PostID=235782Hi all, new to this forum and also new to my Sanderson 625, just bought it and love it to bits, first day in the yard today and it has no foot brake working !!
