    What to spray field with?

    I don't live in a subdivision so having a super nice lush lawn would take forever to accomplish and lot of money. I do however like to minimize weed competition with my grass so my grass areas can thrive. My local seed/fertilizer/chemical company turned me on to Cimarron Plus broadleaf killer...

    Wax/No wax

    I use Liquid Glass on all my stuff from the Kubota to my truck and even the lawn mower. It will bead water for 4 to 6 months. It is a little pricey but I've used it for 20+ years and it has stood the test of time. My local Auto zone carries it.

    Drive it or trailer it?

    I enjoy watching YouTube videos of a farmer in Canada and the other night he posted one of them moving 60 miles to a field. it was 3 tractors with planters and seed wagons. The drills ranged from 68 to 80 feet wide unfolded, he said folded his outfit was 14' wide so he took up much of 2 lanes...

    Garden question

    Crows like to walk along my rows and pluck my seeds and small plants. I do not use preemergent in my garden but I do use it for my sunflowers along the wood lines. I spray it right after planting. Corn I [plant 1 1/2" deep and for what it is worth! Planted seed I bought this year and the...

    Barn Fire-Bad Day

    Been little over a year since my barn burned, repairs have been slow as I have a real job so nights and weekends it is. Been blessed along the way, purchased most of my wood before the "shortage"!!! Have a friend that has a saw mill and he gives me great prices on lumber when I need it. A...

    Optimum Rpm.

    I run my RPM's that match the task I'm performing. Loader work, brush hog, land plane, road travel just under PTO. All other work around 1500 to 1800, disking, row bedder, plowing, etc. Mine idles at 800 and starts PTO at 2300 for an idea. No emissions stuff on my 2012. I change the oil...

    Recommendations for a tiller?

    Seems you got the implement picked out so I'll forgo that. I use a piece of chain link with a 6x6 at the front with V's cut in the bottom so dirt can pass through. Cost for it is cheap and easy to build. I use it leveling, covering small seeds, dragging down my roads after working them with my...

    Retired my 5 gallon fuel cans

    Nice job and if I used enough fuel each year I would rob your idea. Been few years back but I got permanent plates for my trailers and it was$75.00 each here in NC. I head up your way every couple of years to hunt those big ole midwest whitetails. We hunt with a friend near Bushnell who is an...

    So I went ahead and let a little air out..................

    While discussing beet juice, hope to dig my 160' of them tomorrow night so I can make some pickled beets:) Hmm I do love some pickled beets! Forgot about my loaded rears few years back and went to do the same thing, let a little air out but quickly realized that was a bad idea with the stem at...

    Tires

    Turfs should require a different rim than R4s and R1s as they are wider. Maybe your dealer would work out a trade.

    Air filters OEM or aftermarket

    I recently helped my cousin do his 50 hr. service on his 2020 MX5200. When I pulled the air filter to change it, original filter I noticed it was a Baldwin! I asked him had he changed it before and he said nope never even opened it to see it before. I too buy Baldwin air filters for my tractor...

    I ran out of fuel, help

    Glad you got it back running. I making a label to go on my fuel gauge glass that says reminder to fill up and placing it at the half full mark. My standard practice is to never let it get below 1/2 tank but a little reminder will keep me even more reminded! Good day OTT.

    Max 5800 and understanding 3pt capacity

    Just a thought but if you have someone helping you when planting could you have them pull the drill from field to field with a truck and you trailer the tractor? Have a friend that does that, they pull the drill with the truck and the tractor is trailered. I know not the answer to your...

    is a 6' box blade too big for L2501?

    Not the exact same but maybe worth noting. I pulled my 6' land plane with a L3400 and when it was full grading my road it would lose traction going up the slightest inclines in 4wd. I could raise it to let more gravel out and it would do fine. Resulting in me choosing a larger tractor the l4600...

    M5-111 cat 2 hitch and using cat 1 implements? Bushings?

    I made mine from some scrap thick walled galvanized pipe I had laying around. I cut to length needed for my lift pins. I then placed on pins, added washer to outside and a lynch pin. Each implement has them so always ready to go. My local tractor supply carries them saw some Wednesday...

    Fake or real filter

    Last weekend helped my cousin service his new MX5200 and found the same thing. Pulled his air filter and asked him had he changed it, no I have not was the response. it was a Donaldson!
