Wife's are what I call Monday morning quarter backs. Always have the answers in the hind side. You talk about stuck, one of the worst I did was years ago we had just bought a farm and I was pushing trees and cleaning up the farm with a D7 Cat. I buried it, you could step off the platform on to...

A few months back a old guy that lives five miles west of me stopped by one morning while I was greasing the sprayer and had a gang off a six foot three point disk in the back of his pickup. One bearing was out and the other going out. He said he had taken it to several repair shops and no one...

On this farm all my big tractors are Green. I have the MX6000 and I really like it. I have owned a couple Green mowers and won't own any more. I am on my third Grasshopper Zero turn with Kubota engines in it and I really Grasshopper zero turns. My Bobcat skid loader has a Kubota engine in it. My...

When I was kid I pushed a lot of snow at my folks business and the small town I lived in with a three point blade. IN my adult life I have owned two three point blades both were Rhino brand a 8Ft one and then a 1540 10 Ft with rear gauge wheel. Bought both used from guys that never used them and...

I would go to craigslist or facebook market place and look for old farm barge wagons. In my area you can pickup a 7X14 or 8X14 wagon with hoist and sides for a grand or less. There are many of them with steel sides and floors that would work perfect for what your wanting to do.

Proper fit on these quick hitches to implements can be important. Years ago I bought a JD 4840 that a guy had converted the quick hitch from cat 3 wide to cat 3 narrow. The tractor was set for 30 inch rows so the tires were in close to the cab. He had a rear three point blade on the tractor...

I heated with two wood stoves actual three one in the shop for twenty years and loved the wood heat. In 2003 we remodeled this three story farm house and moved in. In 2005 installed a Garn wood boiler in the pole barn to heat the shop and house and domestic water. Burned between 10-15 cord of...

If it were me I either order the new one from Jones or get the used one from Mountain Man. I wouldn't try to patch the broken one. Just split it and get the work done. It won't be to bad of a job. On this farm patching never seems to work out. And when done make the needed adjustments on the...

I like quick hitches to a point. My MX6000 won't ever have a quick hitch on it as the three main implements that are used on it aren't set up for quick hitch and I am not going to refab them. I start out in the spring with the carryall on and then the sprayer goes on until fall harvest is over...

My advice to look more at online resources Machinery Pete, Tractor House, Auction Time, Big Iron, Craigslist, Facebook Market place. You are going to have to judge the condition of the tractor and equipment. Condition of a 50 year old plus or minus tractor can vary a lot. Tractor doesn't sound...

The last time the sheriff called me was a couple years ago and a very young man had ran off the gravel road into my corn field. Lucky for the young man the corn kept him from rolling his pickup. Totaled out a nice pickup. Took almost a year to get it settled with the insurance company.

Nothing sets outside at my farm. I have been out spraying this AM came in the house to make a few calls , check some email and grab some lunch before I head out to another farm fifteen miles away to do some spot spraying and the MX6000 went back in the shed. Plenty of room in the shed so no...

Best price in my area is $9.00 a bushel in forty bushel bags cleaned. Bin run in your container is from $9.00 to $14.00 a bushel.

The old Brown cutter. I had one thirty years ago and it was pretty worn out when I bought it. Ran it on a old JD 620 two cylinder. Took down a lot of cedar trees and plum brush with it. Had to rebuild the PTO clutch on the old 620 twice. Those cutters are hard on tractors. Sold the tractor and...

Nice set of hammers. I would throw that set up away and make one that used chains like on most of the heavier flex wing mowers have. Even the mowers that have the belting guard don't last and get tore up. I try to keep the trash pickup out of my road ditches but no matter how careful I am...

Just a update. Only idea I found in the aftermarket I like better than Kubota was a set of side mirrors. I bought them off Ebay and they were Kemimoto mirrors. I really like them. I added a front and rear mud guard kit, LED strobe light kit, turn signal / hazard kit and a block heater that I...

Thanks for the reply. I am almost to fifteen years on the Garn and this is the third leak. First leak was at just under nine years. All have been from bad welds from the factory. Getting ready to cut a hole in the side of the 2000 gallon storage tank to look for this leak.

If you don't mind me asking what brand of wood boiler are your running and are you running storage with the boiler. I have a Garn that just started leaking again yesterday. Might be time to look at a different brand.

Mine does have the hand throttle on it. The only thing I have used it for is to idle it up a couple of times when I had it parked with the AC running. I think there are some adjustments that can be made to get a little more speed. I just don't need any more speed. In my area you will have less...

I bought a new RTV X 1000C back in April. Finally have had time to use it some. Got a little over hundred miles on it now. If your looking for break fast speed keep looking. I like mine a lot. AC has been nice in this hot weather. It runs 25 MPH on the flat with the AC on and will pull down to...
