Out of curiosity how much do we reckon they weigh
Don't know about weight but the baler is between 9' and 10' wide, you'd need a wide load escort🤣

When you get up here - do let me know. I’ll take you for a cup of tea.
I'll take you up on that, no date in mind but probably in the next few years, lived in St Annes for about 20 years and have a big soft spot for it.

You’re a bit too far away Chris, sadly.
Yeah opposite ends of different countries, ironically when we eventually move from here, back to St Annes is a possibility, don't think it'll go on a removal van though😃

I think I’ll start with a flail mower, I’d like a haybob, and a small square baler eventually. Not sure how I find an old baler that’s cheap but not worn out though - I’ve no idea how they work.
I may have my complete setup for sale in the not too distant future, disc mower, PZ haybob and New Holland 276 baler.

Great write up Mike, mentally noted for future reference.

Very sad news, his write ups helped me out on many jobs, RIP

Big fan of team faff too, love their videos. Must resist looking at series 1's on ebay

Thats a great setup Mike, tent looks amazing. Nice bit of upcycling with the fire guard.

Thanks for the reply's, the solar panel would be wired through a charge controller, I think what I had forgotten (or never knew in the first place) is that the controller will shut off if it detects a higher voltage, so whether that is from the alternator or from a 240v charger it should disconnect the solar panel if I'm understanding correctly?
@FridgeFreezer are those voltage settings on your controllers what they will try to deliver to the battery or is the voltage at which they will disconnect?

Hi, quick question for you electrical guru's.
I have a leisure battery that is charging through a split charge relay, the battery just runs a 40l compressor type fridge, a few lights and USB points but I'm finding that if I'm parked up for more than a few days I'm running out of juice so I would like to add a solar panel to keep things topped up. Occasionally we are on a campsite with EHU so I thought about adding a small smart battery charger as well.
My question is, would this be ok? Split charge and a solar panel and a 240v battery charger all connected to the leisure battery? Obviously the split charge and battery charger would never be on at the same time but would the solar panel 'argue' with the 240v battery charger when I have EHU?

I went with Mordant T-wash then etch primer then some red oxide primer I had in the shed and then black metal paint, nothing fancy (aldi I think) thinned down enough to spray. Its been on for 5 years now and no chips and still looks like new
-
Looking very smart, great job.

Go bigger, no one ever built a shed, stood back and thought 'that's a bit too big'. I know I didn't

Pleased to hear you've found somewhere to buy over here, sounds interesting
-
Certainly was, nice bit of rigid plastic and lots of gasket sealant, job done 😃

Or we could just buy it and leave it over there in *someone's* garden just in case we come over to play again.

Got some 'garden' space here 😉 handy for 7S breakages😜.
Glad you got sorted and nice to see the land rover camaraderie is alive and kicking especially having been on the receiving end of some bush repairs by your good selves

Sounds an interesting project Mike, I'll be watching with interest.
I know Ifor Williams 5 stud axles are LR stud pattern and some of the stock trailers even come on 16" wheels but most are 12" I think.
What overall size are you going for?
-
No problem, maybe going to seven sisters so that's an option, I'll dig it out
-
Mike, if you wanted to try a 1.6 TB I have one lurking in the toy shed, try it, if you like it pay me for it or give it back if not. Not sure what they are worth but I'm sure we could come to an agreement
