Last summer I tried using poly twine on my large round bales. I had always used sisel twine and for some unknown reason I tried the poly twine. NEVER AGAIN!!!! I have found that the poly twine is a pain in the #%% to get off of a rain snow frozen bale. The other problem I had was the end of...

I got the tractor home and put it right to work pulling my MF 124 square baler. My Dad volunteered to run the baler, as he normally does. His first comment was that the tractor was rough riding, but he added that the air seat was exceptional and there was no fatigue at the end of the day. I...

The wife and I were out cruising on the bike and swung by my JD dealer after store hours. There in the lot was a new 5105M spec'd out like I had ordered. Got the call later in the evening that the tractor was mine, woooohooo!:D They were going to deliver it today, but I asked if they would...
