Can't believe it's that time of year again. Guess that this is it till October. At least it's in a workshop now and not got to store it under a tarp again.

Shhhh, got lots of work on before it gets cold. Could do without breakdowns as well. Part of the header came off and went into the combine yesterday, took 5 hours to strip the combine, remove it and rebuild again. Fecking German crap

Used to work after sales support on those things a while back.
Is yours powered by the Mercedes plant or the DD13 engine and how long have you had it?

It's a 09 530 Montana. Got a CAT engine but not a DD13 possibly a DD9 but will look on the engine in a bit. 330hp anyway. The header rams lost pressure somehow and I reversed with the header down to clear a blockage. Next thing I know the warning lights and screen is shouting at me and there is a loud clattering noise. New part was £600 overnight from Germany. We have screwed them down now as well.

Well I got board sat on the tractor and combine so bought a set of 5 Disco steels for the trialer, oh and a full cage to go on to trialer as well from Tornado Motor Sport. Hope to start work on the rangy again soon. Unfortunately I have lost the Disco I bought in the divorce and need to value the Rangy. Any ideas on what it's worth?

Yep spin the fronts and leave the backs gives you the best turning circle without D2 front axle like im doing

I have modulars so might run them on the front of the ccv and rangy for turning and the disco steels on the rear. Thinking of running 205 85 16 on both for added turning. Will only suffer in ruts

All sorted. Wouldn't let me test drive it for him though. and found a ball joint gone. Although when letting the Jack down the suspension had dropped so had to raise it to remove the trolley Jack.
Loads of life left on that one
