A dozer would be great in the really bad spots even if it took a little longer. We actually have an old Case 450b that is being looked at right now. I will use that if we can get it going again, but don't have a lot of confidence in that option.
Those pics looks great, not too different from...
I tried out tilting the rear gangs downward on my bigger disk this weekend. The angle of tilt was great, but the tongue on the disk is spring loaded causing the front gangs to level out as soon as pressure is put on the rear gangs. Looks like tilting will not work for me because of that. That...
Here’s an example of one of my “roads”. Many would consider it a shooting lane through the trees. But most of these lanes are used to access other parts of the farm and get a good bit of traffic. The part in this pic is in good shape but other parts stay wet and rutted. We built up and graveled...
These have been some good suggestions. I'll try tilting down the rear gangs on the disk this weekend and see how it goes. If I remember correctly they never wanted to dig very well when tilted back until the whole disk was lowered to the point the front engaged also. I need to check but I may be...
What is your time frame? If you expect 2-3 years before you have a nice clean pasture, I'd highly suggest burning. A good hot ring fire will clear most of your brush in the first fire. After you get good new growth (more fuel) in the following growing season you can burn again and get a very...
Filling the loader is a good idea for traction as long as it’s dry enough. I’ve been using the term “road” loosely. My roads are dirt/mud paths through the CRP trees. They are constantly muddy and rutted which makes maintenance tough. My original thought was to take the front gangs off my 3pt...
Yes, I have a 6 or 8' rear blade. I've tried it but this heavy clay doesn't ever really dry out deeper than a couple inches. It balls up and sticks to the blade. Where I've tried it it can work, but is extremely slow and difficult to get dirt to move to the center. I have miles of roads that...
I'm trying to reclaim some rutted up roads through a young timber stand. Years of disking the roads by the previous owner has left a bar of dirt on the edge of the road which holds water on the road itself. I can continue to disk these roads every year when they finally dry out in August, but...
I had an error symbol pop up yesterday followed shortly by the stop symbol. Seems to be a fluid symbol but can’t figure out which one. Fluids are all topped off so thinking maybe it’s an accidental error code due to wiring glitch. Any help figuring this one out?
I really have 2 questions. They may need their own threads, but we'll see how it goes.
I have a Case 95C with a lever that moves the 3pt hitch. The lever is burdensome and difficult to use well when trying to do any precision work such as grading. I also use a JD6415 that has a roller to...
I have searched this forum and seen a few people who seem to be searching for the same type of equipment. I am looking for some type of saw, mower, or rotary mulcher that attaches to the FEL and can trim tree limbs that are encroaching on roads and shooting lanes. We have a large amount of...
