    tow behind seeder/spreader vs 3pt mount spreader

    I think a lot depends on what planting and the size/scale and frequency is important. Some of the finer seeds if you buy from a reputable place will bulk them with a carrier such are rice hulls or oats. As far as the lime goes, it can be purchased as pelletized however it dissolves much slower...

    New MX5200

    Oh my…fork tines can and will come off. I am very interested in your impressions after moving up through several frame sizes. IMO you are coming along nicely.

    New MX5200

    Very Nice machine. Congratulations. Are you not required to strap or chain down the loader where you are at when trailering?

    Moving horse manure ... best tool for the job?

    Good day. I don’t have horses but I have moved a lot of manure on farms / ranches. This seems strange to me…IMO before accepting a job site unseen like this I’d want to know how it got into a pile if they don’t have equipment to move it…how large is the pile.(how have that many horse without...

    MX5100 Rotary Cutter sizing question

    Good day. I have a RCF2772 that I use on a hilly property. When I am in the woods I am glad it’s not any wider. When I am in the pasture I wish it were wider…yes, sort of like Goldilocks, but obviously more sophisticated😉 I typically have a a bucket or grapple on when I mow and I’ve not found...

    BX2380

    Tread lightly (pun intended😉)…I’ve wrinkled the seat before when the boat was riding the BX down a grade and the brakes made it worse…anyway tread lightly. (Tongue weight and proper balance is important). However it much easier to negotiate a tandem axle trailer with a BX than by hand. I...

    A truck and trailer thread.

    Unfortunately I have hit a deer with every personally owned vehicle (including motorcycle) I have had since living in our current house. It’s still better than being a townie. That’s just life in our area. Deer are road hazards. My mourning period is over from today….i finally found the...

    BX2380

    IMO a BX would do just fine on a lawn and in the light farm use you described. To me it’s limiting factor if you plan to play in the woods is ground clearance. Other than that they are real handy within it is size and weight. Like a diesel powered wheelbarrow. I think you would be crazy to...

    Actor and martial artist Chuck Norris dead at 86

    I’d like to think if he had a tractor, it would be orange for sure, and it if there was a problem and needed to split the case, it would’ve been with one chop. Missing the show, memes, movies and the straight talk. What was your favorite movie or show with him?

    Actor and martial artist Chuck Norris dead at 86

    Well, i guess Death is getting an ass kickin’’ today. I normally would not make joke at this time but I was huge Norris fan and enjoyed the jokes that followed his tough guy image. (Love the memes) He will be celebrated and missed.

    A truck and trailer thread.

    The Varmint Kong (deer) did not win this morning, although i am having some sympathy pains for my beloved Zilla. At 0:dark 30 on way to work the VC attacked me. The first blemish always hurts the most…luckily my mudflap was not harmed. 😂

    PTO wood chipper

    Good day. I am a happy owner of WM. It’s done everything I have asked. I shopped WM and Woodmaxx and it came down to responsiveness for WM for me. WM customer service won my purchase. I don’t regret it, but I also don’t have experience with the woodmaxx. They sure seem similar from...

    How much to pay for an MX6000 with R4 tires and loader?

    I would recommend shopping 3 dealers. I would let them know you are shopping them, and tell them what looking for, by when and ask their best price out the door delivered for what ever make/model and options you want and ktac it not. Anyone get fina cost delivered is my opinion. I would...
