The engine has to be in top condition for that price. Over here a working six cylinder engine is normally only half of that price.

I have a 27kW 3 phase generator just in case of a powerfailure, but to produce power for own use is not cheap. The only way it could be worth trying is to use the Lister a few hours a day to power equipment that needs the most power and simultaneously charge some large batterys with a 12 or 24V gene...

First of all, you can´t produce electrical power with that generator to a price that gives you any profit if you sell it to a powercompany.

Beautiful. Good work

It will not fit. The engines are to different in that area, oilpump etc.

Still confused about lack of power when reversing. Again, when I plow in reverse the tractor has no pushing power. A modest amount of snow will stop the tractor. The left wheel will just spin, while the right does not move. No problem going forwards, pulling a large quantity of snow. Anyone care to...

Hi Grani, Two times 110Ah? I'm impressed!! :thumbs: What do you prefer: an 70Ah battery with extra starterpower or a regular 90 - 100Ah battery? I have trouble choosing which will be best for mine. Chose a battery that fits in the space for the battery. I had to make an extra batteryholder for the ...

What kind of battery (how many Amperes?) you have in your tractor to get it started in the cold? I have 2*110Ah but it is not nessesary to have so big batteries, i just happen to have a lot of them, thats why. The 590E engine starts easy with a single 60Ah battery if it is in good condition. I have...

What's the video about with the hydrualic lift? It was to dark to tell what you were doing. It is a lift that i made on the stern of the boat. It is for hight adustment of the swimplatform. (I hate the possibility for everyone to look at other videos and pictures than the selected one. It makes the...

And my first testing to upload to the tube.

More snow.

The difference that shows the most is that Selene has long bolts from the gearbox through the transferbox and all the way to the rear axle unit. The Roadless tranferbox has separate bolts for the gearbox and for the rear axle unit. Roadless transferbox lengthens the tractor more than the Selene unit...

It looks like a Selene transferbox to me. The friction unit is on the propellershaft on a Selene and on the transfer flange on a Roadless.

Brian i guess this has been asked before but cannot find answer, can a 13" clutch assembly be fitted to the flywheel from a dual clutch new performance gearbox. mine will not disengage pto and gets high on pedal after heavy work. I guess my 6 cylinder is to much for it. No, it has a different flywh...

Nice.

Welcome to this board. I hope the double clutch can stand the power of that engine. A single 13" had been a better choice.

Hi Grani, Do you change your tyres for the winter period? If so are they studded or just chunky treaded. A lot of drivers in the UK have never driven in conditions like this as it was 28 years since our last prolonged cold spell. I assume that everyone is used to driving in snow and ice in your par...

Hi Grani, do gravel roads ice up like sealed roads in Finland?Most rally drivers from Finland like New Zealand roads as they are similar to what they drive on in Finland.We don't get -20 here or snow!TSG. Yes, and they newer use salt on them, only sand after plowing them first. I like them because ...

Nice. I try to avoid driving on salted roads as much as i can. Luckily the salt don´t work when -20C or colder.

Has anyone of you had any problems with the exceptional weather in Europe?

We had -29,7 C last night.

I tried several online translators, and I can't seem to translate that to English, so I will have to guess.

Happy New Year, Grani and everyone else, too!

Gott Nytt År på er alla. = Happy New Year to you all.

Some years ago when my friend came to the pier with a inboard boat the engine was impossible to stop. It was a single cylinder Yanmar 12hp. The stopcable was ok so it was running on the engine oil. We tryed to put the forward gear on but it does not help mutch on a boat. The rews was about 1500 rpm ...

Gott Nytt År på er alla.
