Not exactly an attachments question, but this is where I hang out. If the moderators really want to move it, so be it, but maybe some other folks in this section might be interested. Unfortunately, our farm has many honey locust trees with the long, nasty thorns which continuously assault our...

Last year I rented a drill from the County and planted about five acres total of soybeans in three plots. Only one of the plots halfway turned out, the other two produced very little. I was very disappointed after spending hundreds of dollars and a number of hours. The plants that survived...

Looking for what I perceive to be the best tool for winding up barbed wire. Spent alot of time on line and found a couple of videos of the Wire Dawg Fence Winder, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPC7OHdP5kI and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbbabScMbG8 but no contact info. It attaches to...

I'm contemplating the purchase of a stump grapple for its intended use, plus general digging where things are too hard for my bucket with a tooth bar. My tractor is 55 hp and the front end loader can lift 2900 lbs. I'm leaning towards a 3/16" one from Mid-State that weighs 560 lbs.; the...

First, no pictures yet. I bought it yesterday morning, got the flu yesterday afternoon, and it's cold and raining outside. Pics later if cannot be identified without. Double axle, almost 7' in width. Packer wheels good, but really needs bearings on one end, probably much more (the hole...

I'm considering the purchase of a tree shear, since the rental rates around here are ridiculous. Like grapples, there's quite a price range. (Unfortunately, WildKat doesn't list a tree shear, but I have a call into them). One that has caught my attention is from Neon Material Handling and...

Check out this interesting vehicle made from, among other things, a manure spreader. (scroll down from this link The Feral Irishman: American Ingenuity!...)

Not an attachment, but perhaps of interest. John Deere Walking Harvester treads lightly and carries very big sticks | Fox News

Anybody know of a 7-8' double roller cultipacker within a reasonable distance of Missouri for a reasonable price? Thanks.

When shopping for a bigger tractor last year, my former tractor dealer neighbor advised me NOT to get a cab tractor. Terrible advice. I ignored him and am thrilled with my air conditioned and heated cab. When considering a grapple purchase, I followed our own Island Tractor's advice and...

One of Grant Woods' sponsors for his Growing Deer TV (which I highly recommend) is Eagle Seeds. The info on their website is tempting, but their prices seem high to me. Has anyone here used Eagle Seed Forage Soybeans for your foodplots? Is it worth the money? How about milo? Any...

First, renewed thanks to Bdavis for alerting all of us to the steal of a deal on the 72" Ratchet Rake at TSC. As noted on his thread, I snatched one up yesterday. Has anyone used it yet to work the ground up for a food plot or garden? Those were some of the uses touted on their website and...

Scenario: 55 hp 4WD tractor, loaded tires, wt w/BB, over 9K. A couple of weekends ago, I began successfully pulling out up to 4" cedars w/a 12 lb. Brush Grubber HD. I also pulling several similar sized honey locust trees until the last, when the Brush Grubber bent. Replaced the Brush Grubber...

I have looked at several threads on this topic, but none appear to be the same one as pictured below. From my perspective, it looks to be in pretty good shape. I may be able to buy this, but first need answers to several questions. 1. What model is it and about how old? 2. Are parts...

I need to make a crossing across a drainage ditch so I can cross with equipment and vehicles. There is seasonal water. The ditch is wide and about 8-10' deep. What I have in mind is grading a ramp on each side. It is too big and wide to consider any sort of bridge. I had hoped to convince a...

In another grapple thread moments ago, I mentioned that I was now considering buying a stump grapple, perhaps next year. I may not look further than this EXT. STUMP GRAPPLE W/TEETH SKIDSTEER ATTACHMENT | eBay or its little brother since I'm so pleased with my 48" grapple from WildKat. I know...

'Trying to decide whether to purchase a third function valve kit (to open/close the new grapple) or whether to run a pair of hydraulic lines to the rear and use the rear control which is right beside the joy stick. I would like to hear from any of you who have faced this, which way you went...

I picked up my new grapple yesterday and unloaded it from the trailer this morning. The bucket came off easy as pie, but when I tried to attach the grapple, the R side pin wouldn't come down, despite quite a bit of effort. It doesn't line up and won't go into the top hole. Has anyone else had...

48" MINI ECONO GRAPPLE DC SKIDSTEER ATTACHMENT | eBay The design looks good, so does the price. Anyone have this? If so, how is it working out? Thanks.

I've read what I could find on this forum on grapples. My primary use would be picking up brush and downed trees and piling them up for burning. From time to time, I also foresee needing to move large rocks. My tractor is a 55 hp LS U5030C, 4WD diesel. Lift capacity is supposedly about 2,900...

Having looked around at both new and used, I bought a Bush Hog 307 from the original owner's son, who fairly described it to me, saying the gearbox leaked about a half a cup per day. I had him run it, and it sounded okay. I lined up a guy who's done great work for me before and he agreed to...

Shortly after buying my U5030C, I noticed the radio could not be heard over the engine, even at idle. It took the dealer awhile to get a replacement radio from LS, but it finally came in and they swapped it out yesterday. The new one works well and it's nice to be able to plug in my iPhone and...

I haven't been using my new U5030C much yet, because I've been shopping for implements and still need to buy a gooseneck to take it to the farm. I'm pretty well settled on a 14K Big Tex. This past weekend, I bought an used pull type Bush Hog 307, a 7' rotary cutter rated to cut 3" brush, and...

New guy on the block. While I've owned a small acreage for many years and have been around farms and farming much of my life, we just bought a farm and ordered a more substantial tractor, a U5030C. Yes, I spent the extra bucks for AC & heat. At this stage of life, I can't tolerate the heat as...
