Hyster dual wheel 15k advice needed http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/ag-tractors-machinery/280445-anyone-have-experience-heavy-forklifts.html Mon, 20 May 2013 20:33:07 GMT Curious if this machine might be useful, or just overkill.
I've been looking for an older pneumatic tire forklift and something similar to this popped up. My goal is to be able to move larger items around several gravel drives and parking areas on the property, and eventually use it in a small auto salvage yard. The areas are well packed and can support my 22k lb loaded dump truck.

These old Hysters are rated at 15k lbs and weigh a little over 19k. Does anyone have experience owning/operating such a beast? Will they negotiate inclines?

How expensive is it to transport one from site to site? I'm assuming a semi tractor and low-boy would be required?

The other option would be a construction or off-road lift like in the second picture. The big Hyster would be more capable in an industrial setting, and could lift more, while the tractor-forklift is more versatile in outdoor settings but probably not as well suited to moving cars or bulky items. However with my current truck and trailer I could move it from site to site if needed.

For several years I have wanted to have summer food plots (corn, beans, sunflower, millet etc) I have been slowly accumulating equipment and knowledge. I have a 7710 Ford tractor. Because of the gates and trails through the woods that I have to go through to get to some of my food plot sites, I would like to keep the implements from sticking too far outside my wheels. I was considering a 4 row planter and had initially thought I would need a 4 row cultivator to compliment it. However, after really looking at how a cultivator worked, it dawned on me that an "x" row cultivator would always be wider than the same "x" row planter. Therefore, I was thinking of a 4 row planter and then using a 2 row cultivator to work it. Is this reasonable logic ? thanks ]]> pharmvet http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/ag-tractors-machinery/280262-4-row-planter-2-row.html Would you drive 6 hours one way for this cultivator FREE?? http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/ag-tractors-machinery/280194-would-you-drive-6-hours.html Sat, 18 May 2013 04:00:45 GMT I have been looking locally for a cultivator for my summer food plots.

I purchased this 5' sickle bar for $250.00 but have no idea what brand it is. The plate on the belly of it is a home made add on, but the rest seems pretty much original. It works great, just looking for a brand name in case I need to get parts.

Thank you in advance,
Scott

This morning I thought I would give her a test drive. Took her over to the timothy field and it was still very WET and perfect conditions for plugging up a sickle mower. Even when this field is dry it is so thick it would eventually plug my Deere sickle mower even with new knives and guards. The double action sickle mower never plugged in fact out of curiosity I tried to get it to plug by slowing the rpm's to virtually idle speed and through the wet-thick grass I could not force this thing to plug no matter what. I think its going to work great on my 40 acre hay field this late spring and for once there is no more cussing and getting off/on my tractor and struggling with the plugging in the thick fine-grass fields. ]]> blaze 57 http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/ag-tractors-machinery/278945-double-action-sickle-mower-review.html ranch rite disc mower http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/ag-tractors-machinery/278893-ranch-rite-disc-mower.html Sun, 05 May 2013 13:32:16 GMT does anyone know anything about the ranch rite 7ft disc mowers thanks dan does anyone know anything about the ranch rite 7ft disc mowers

It looks pretty much like this, mine has a little more rust through on the paint.
