Just last winter I went to one of my MIL last cousins funeral and they played the Paul Harvey speech. There is a high school complex and track housing on his old farms. We have the city knocking on our door on our home place here. I am a first generation farmer. Grew up around farmers my folks...

This is a time and money question. Between my home place farm and my building and bin site farm I mow 10 plus acres a week with a diesel 60 inch zero turn mower. We have many other farms we mow ditches, waterways and building sites three times or so a year with a 150 HP tractor and a 15 FT bat...

You don't need to spend a bunch of money on a land plane get on Facebook or Craig's list and buy a five or six foot old harrow section off a big harrow and hook a chain to each side and to your draw bar and harrow the weeds and grass out of your drive. You can buy them for hundred bucks. I...

I have been down this same road so many times its crazy. I try to have every piece of equipment with a loader have the same quick tach but it never works out around here. I had got to the point every loader here had SSQA then I bought a JD 7320 a few years ago with a JD 673 loader that had JD...

I never tell anyone to set down and put your feet up. I have had enough health issues myself if I would have done that when the doctors told me that well over twenty years ago I would be long gone. Spend the money and buy your self a grapple. The only regret I have is I wish I would have know...

Take a look a Surplus Center in Lincoln Nebraska. I buy a lot of hyd hoses and fitting from them. Prices seem good.

The first thing I would do is make sure your tractor is going to have a enough GPM oil flow to run one. I have a friend that has had both the chainsaw type and the circular type of the limb Saw brand. He started out with the chainsaw one running it on a compact JD tractor. It had just enough...

I have a buddy that went from diesel pickups to Dodge 2500 and 3500 with the 6.4 gas engines, ten in total. They have had good luck with them. Most are hooked to gooseneck trailers all the time livestock or flat bed. They ranch and have a ag business also, seed, chemicals and ranch supplies. Him...

In my area that's probably a six thousand dollar tractor the way it sets. In my area Market Place is the best place to sell most things. Things on consignment auctions around here normally don't do well. Normally the junk and unsellable end up there. If it were me I would just keep it. You might...

Went to the city this AM for parts and supplies. One end of town diesel was $4.09 and the other end of town it was $4.69. I think the high around here was $5.30.

Geohorn If it was me I would forget the tube. I am sure it started off tubeless. I would just plug the holes you find and put some of your favorite tire sealant in it and call it a day. If it wasn't for tire sealant in my skid loader my MX6000 and my bush hogging tractor and I almost forgot the...

I have burned wood on and off mostly on for forty plus years. For 15 years it was our only heat source with a Garn wood boiler. Ran it year around as I heat my domestic water with it. Fifteen cord of hedge wood a year to heat house and shop. Three years ago it was leaking again and needed a...

Sorry I am late to the party. Its the time of the year got to get that spraying done. For what your wanting to do a rubber tired skid loader with AC and heat and a two speed is what you need. I have many tractors and loaders and they set for the winter. My 100 HP skid steer is my go to machine...

I don't think I would care for that style load binder. For years I ran over center style that's what everyone ran over the road. Been about 15 years ago a friend of mine ran flat bed over the road and pulled into a new customer to unload and they made him leave they wouldn't let anyone on the...

Years ago my FIL bought a new Rhino brand bush hog style mower with the belting front and back to save some money. His old one had nothing front and back and he knock out a couple rear windows on tractors. He cut road ditches for a day and half the belting was ripped. I ordered chains front and...
