Great repiar vdeo Dec! Cheers to your local tyre shop for helping you out. Must be a big relief getting the pick up hitch in working order after all this time, and ready to use on the dump trailer.
Farmer Phil got a bale trailer from Whites trailers in Longford, and they might actually have second hand one's. Worth ringing up and sounding them out Declan.
Great job dec , just bought a case 4240 XL and I see I have a hydraulic leak in back end just over where you fixed pick up hitch and user a little oil at blow pipe when I start any quick solutions here. Is there any where I can get manual for this tractor thanks Dec
We have used a 12 ton dump trailer behind our 4240XL. If conditions were a bit sticky or there were hills then you wouldn't want to bring a full load. Those trailers typically weigh 3.5 tons, so you're talking more than 15.5 tons behind a tractor that weighs just 3.5 tons! Also with 2 long rams the tractor can run out of oil when tipping unless it's overfilled.
