    Advice on new tractor purchase - MX6000, M7060, M5?

    Of course it is worth a few thousand more if you get a buddy in the cab! However with no backhoe and possibly no haying you need to justify the size and expense to yourself. We dont really matter. The M4 will be great at field work including plowing, mowing, moving bales around, spraying, even...

    Advice on new tractor purchase - MX6000, M7060, M5?

    I Am sure the M4D is a great machine. Looks nice. 73HP is a bit light for serious haying but 30 acres isn’t much. The issue wont be the machine it will be the other equipment you have to deal with. For moving bales, plowing, spraying, mowing the M4 will be great.

    Advice on new tractor purchase - MX6000, M7060, M5?

    Probably first and foremost, haying on 30 acres (if you are buying all equipment and doing it yourself) is a Cost center. You are going to loose far more money and time over the next 20 years than you will save. My recommendation is to have someone bail it for you if you can find it. It...

    Weirdest Tractor I Have Ever Seen

    Without a doubt we will see this on the next season of Clarkson’s Farm! Seriously why not just buy an elevated machine? Not like you can use this one for anything else with those wheels sticking out from the front/back.

    I use a host of Arlo wifi cameras and access them all the time when we are away. I expect ring will work fine.

    I have had it for 3 months now. 1. Remember it is still in beta, which means there will be some service interruptions as they do updates or reposition satellites. 2. If you have it in an unobstructed view of the sky (say on a roof with no trees around) it is doing to do great. 3. Good for...

    How long will 0% financing last?

    It has been going on for over 3 years now. Hard to know, but they are selling everything right now so if they were going to switch now is a good time. However it has been a very successful program and they just mark up the price of the machine to compensate. I expect it to stick around.

    Hearing protection with music when running the tractor? What do you use?

    Mine stay in no problem. Its everything else I can’t get to stay. AirPod pros are awesome I agree. If these I linked work I might use them because they are 1/2 the cost. I tend to loose these things in the woods on the sides of rocky ridges clearing timber!

    https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/schedules/downloads/adult/adult-combined-schedule.pdf Tetanus is part of the Tdap or Td combination vaccine. Basically you need a booster every 10 years. However you have a live exposure so the question is not about a vaccine, it is Tetanus Ig (immunoglobulin)...

    Hearing protection with music when running the tractor? What do you use?

    Isotunes Pro keep coming out of my ear canals, no matter the size of foam I use or the adjustment I make to the wire that wraps around my ear. When I sweat they will fall out. I am returning them. Trying these now...

    L4060HSTC Running Issue- Help!

    Seat safety switch also catches people off guard in some cases. If you don't have weight properly distributed in the seat, the safety will engage and kill engine rpm. Not saying this is what happened to you but something to be aware of with sudden rpm drops.

    LX3310 First Regen at 15.5 hours?

    The lower you run the rpm overall, the more often it will regen. What I do is split the difference. I run M62 at about 2000 most of the time If I dont need PTO rpm. I am getting a regen every 50 Or so hours. The M7060 is mowing most of the time at PTO rpm, I don’t think I have noticed one at...

    LX3310 First Regen at 15.5 hours?

    You havent seen one because you are running it hot enough that you aren’t accumulating any soot in the DPF.

    Not a good day at the farm

    You would need: 1. Arlo with solar 2. Solar panel 3. Charge controller or a UniFi Solar Station 4. P2P antenna to receive and send (I like UniFi and would get the AP 120 for the send and a Nanobeam 5ghz for the receive. Note the AP120 would need to be plugged into your existing network with...

    I agree we should absolutely be screening for natural immunity. No reason to get a vaccine if you have natural immunity....we have been doing this with Varicella (chicken pox) for decades. Regarding the point about adverse reactions he brings up are to those that have natural immunity and...

    Not a good day at the farm

    I have exactly the same setup. I am considering putting a point to point system up to “beam” internet across our 50 acres so I can put a solar station/WiFi on the far side of our place. This way I can put up Arlo over there as well.
