A redneck family from the hills was visiting the city and they were in a mall for the first time in their life. The father and son were strolling around while the wife shopped. They were amazed by almost everything they saw, but especially by two shiny, silver walls that could move apart and...

<A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.pami.ca/macrtr.htm>Hay maceration</A> I found this the other day. Anybody seen one of these or had any experience with one? If what the link says is true, the quicker drying times would give us a fighting chance in getting the bales to the barn before the...

The contest: readers are asked to supply alternate meanings for various words. The following were some of this year's winning entries: 1. Coffee (n.), a person who is coughed upon. 2. Flabbergasted (adj.), appalled over how much weight you have gained. 3. Abdicate (v.), to give up all...

Here are some pics of the project I've been working on. I'm working on fencing my cattle completely out of the creeks, so I'm having to install culverts and watering tanks to compensate. The waterers are basically redesigned septic tanks with no lid. The local septic tank place delivered them...

I'm looking to put an extra toolbox on my MF243 to keep a chain, and maybe some extra chain hooks. Most Massey Ferguson tractors come with a small toolbox mounted on the right side of the hood, but it is really too small to hold more than a small hammer, and some extra hitch pins. Any MF...

Earlier I inadvertantly posted a photo of my new tractor (New MF 243) to the rural forum, (thought I was in the photo forum ). Is there anyway that post can be moved to photos, where it belongs?

Here's my long awaited MF 243. I'm now sold on 4wd. I should have listened to all the TBN'ers who told me so when I was first shopping, but instead I learned the hard way. In fact, the day before I traded, I had a load of gravel delivered by a neighbor. His full size dumptruck got stuck in...

I've spent the last hour and a half reading old posts, downloading image software (free!), and generally getting a lesson in pixels, bytes, etc. What an informative site! Here's a picture of the MF 263 2wd that I just traded in for a MF 243 4wd. No pics of it yet as I've been too busy taking...

Here's my second try this evening.

BAD PUNS Energizer Bunny arrested - charged with battery. A man's home is his castle, in a manor of speaking. A pessimist's blood type is always b-negative. My wife really likes to make pottery, but to me it's just kiln time. Dijon vu - the same mustard as before. Practice safe eating -...

I have a 25 acre pasture that I used to keep cattle on, but I'm converting it to use strictly for hay. Since I'll no longer be using it for grazing, I want to take down the fence that surrounds it, and move it to another pasture where I can use it to replace some worn out fence sections, and...

Last week, after months of looking, test driving, etc. I bit the bullet and got a MF 263. I absolutely love the tractor. One of the attachments I purchased was a round bale hay spear for the FEL. Without trying to make excuses, I simply was not paying attention for a split second and the...

I have an acre or more of a low, wet area that has a bamboo patch, or forest as we call it. It is very thick, and some of the bamboo is 3 to 4 inches across. We use it for tomato stakes, fishing poles, craft projects, etc. Around the fourth of July, or when we're burning brush we sometimes...

On the Kubota website I found a comparable tractor to the MF that I'm looking at. It's the M4900. Does anyone know the price or a good website to find the street price for this model? thanks Jason

I have been talking with the local MF dealer about a new tractor, and soon I will visit the Kubota dealer. I am in the market for my first tractor, but have worked/used many a tractor in my lifetime. With FEL, he quoted me $19,500 for the MF 251 Model. It has 48...
