Different trailers, different tires. On my flat bed that I only use locally, and rarely at speeds over 50 MPH, I buy on-sale tires from Walmart. Most are from China and I suspect 10 different brands are made exactly the same in the same factory. With few miles on this trailer per year, the...

Broadcast seeder choice? I’m looking for some practical, and experienced advice about buying a small broadcast seeder to over-seed 40 acres of hay and pasture. Seeds will be orchard grass and timothy in hay, and orchard grass and clover in pastures. In the past I have just mixed seed into the...

Just be aware that those saplings you are cutting off 6" tall turn into spears as they dry out...they like to pierce tires.

I have multiple stihl saws and weed eaters. I don't run them myself, my employees do the trimming. I always worry about them mixing the gas properly, or using old gas that is gummy. After spending lots of money having carburetors cleaned I decided to start using premix fuel. My stihl dealer...

I have what we call two track roads going back to my remote barns. They get farm traffic, trucks and tractors and balers, but no outside heavy trucks. I bought Geo cloth and cut two feet wide strips, layed them right on top of the grass and then had a very good and conscientious dump truck...

Proven by who...data...facts? Maybe yes, maybe no....but proven by a bunch of post writers opinions? Not really. Balancing the initial cost and maintenance vs the actual usage would be an interesting study. I am on a tractor every day of the year on my farm and a I rarely wish I had 4WD. But I...

I use my tractors for hay and mowing. I shouldn't be doing either one when the fields are wet. If I need a four wheel drive tractor I'm doing the wrong thing and tearing up my property. For what you want to, do the question is are you going to do it in the mud? I'm the same way with my trucks I...

If you lack experience on the tractor, first get used to the controls, how it works, what you need to do, where your feet rest, how to kill the throttle, repeat it to learn muscle memory. In an emergency situation you don't have time to look for the brake or clutch pedal....it must happen by...

Look at the pictures of Nancyk's little Fimco 25 gal boom sprayer mounted on a plywood base sitting and attached to a 3 pt carryall. It has the 12 ft boom and a great hand gun. I have used this same type rig for years. I can hook it on the back of my tractor in minutes...aligator clips on the...

This video discusses the issue and suggests steering wheel zero turn mowers. Worth the time to watch.

You will love it! I have 3 old (1960's) Massey Ferguson gas tractors that I mow with. Easy start, simple, and you won't use enough fuel in a year to notice any difference between gas and diesel usage. Your tractor has a very good reputation as reliable. Why do I have 3? I hate changing...

One of my neighbors retired and sold his very nice White 2-105 with cab for $10,000. It sure was a lot of tractor for that money.

People always focus on the factory jobs. But America has lost most of the high paying white collar jobs in heavy industry like engineering, accounting, tooling, and on and on. Those high paying jobs that brought in a lot of taxes for our nation are now across an ocean. USA assembly is nice, but...

I am fine with the flat tax idea. But I don't want a bunch of rookies running the country. Term limits means people who are still trying to find their parking spot and the restroom, will turn their vote over to their staffers that have been in power for years and years. (a recipe for insiders)...

Question is...if the other guy was still in office and we had the same inflationary problems due to his 2020 monetary policy, and Josh's late 2020.... $2000 plan.......would you be writing the same assessment? I sure hope so.
