- Getting old. Sold the ranch. Sold the tractors. Moved back to the city.
I do small bales on 6 acres using a 2008 Mahindra 5525 (54 hp engine, 45 hp pto, 2WD, power steering, gear tranny 8F/2R) with the ML250 FEL (6-ft wide bucket, 2950 lb lift to 10.5 ft height, SSQA on the bucket). Use old haying equipment (7 ft MF 31 sicklebar, JD 350 5-bar side delivery rake, MF124 baler). Plant oats with a restored Minneapolis Moline P3-6 grain drill (20 drops, 10 ft wide, single disc openers). Till with an old 6.5 ft wide Towner offset disc with homemade drag.
