    These things don't typically end well. Ten to one it never re-opens.

    high gear paved road

    I've always been surprised at how much power it takes to just drive a tractor at top speeds. all that torque power and traction does not help with speed.

    Tar River seeder/drill

    today I lined up the front opening coulters with the double disk openers and basically adjusted and tightened all the fasteners and greased the machine, etc. Only thing left is some of the calibration with seed. After a few hours spent wrenching....I took it to a few different areas I plan to...

    I am going to put down about 50 lbs of rye in the front box.....and put about 6 lbs of a mix of 3 clovers and 10 lbs of a mix of 3 brassicas ( all blended together). in the small seed box (rear box). I plan to apply this total of 66 lbs / acre to about 7 acres. If I needed a filler to run...

    Tar River seeder/drill

    Got my Saya 505 on Wed and spent a few hours setting it up yesterday. Plan to drill some seeds next week. Quite satisfied with this product at this point.....now will know more after it sees some dirt.

    Comparison Selling Grand L 4060

    That is a very popular tractor. And popular tractors are hard to get right now for lots of people. I think what Goose said is right. Should sell quickly if you can get the word out correctly. CL and Marketplace get results for me.

    Alternative to EA 55 Inch Wicked Root Rake Grapple ?

    I did not read all the pages. I have owned a grapple for 10 years. Mine is a bit heavier than today's lightweight steel. But I heartily recommend staying as small in width as possible. Mine is 48" wide and I think that is perfect. I wish for a slightly shorter "floor" on my grapple but...

    electric top link

    I saw a YouTube video just last night of a grapple with an electric operated cylinder to close the "lid". Lots of extreme forces on that top link application tho. dunno of any.

    Attaching implement with hydraulic top link

    I have PATS and a Hyrdo top link too. Love this for hooking up to the many different implements I have.....and it makes tweaking the implements engagement with Mother Earth a pleasure instead of a PITA. I frequently have adjusted my disk and planter, etc with the top link to get the best...

    Tar River seeder/drill

    From all I have read and watched videos etc....these Tar River Saya NT drills are good for small-time operators....like me. I hope to prove it to be a good choice. They are not super heavy....but its easy to add some weight to the platforms provided on the Drill (front and rear). I have...

    Tar River seeder/drill

    I just pulled the trigger on the Tar River Saya 505 drill and will get it in a few days. I would likely have bought the 507 if one had been available......but I am saving some money on the 5 footer and it's small enough to use on my son-in-laws tractor too. I don't think the 5 wide unit...

    How I move elevated box blinds.

    I used a plate with QD mounts and added some "high Forks" to enable me to move my deer blinds. Most of my blinds are from 8 to 12 feet high......now I simply remove the ground anchor....pick them up by the floor.....and carefully / slowly drive them to a new location. You do need a wide...

    Rought Ride

    I have now owned my Grand L 3560 HSTC for about 3 years. From day one.....I was dissatisfied with the way this tractor bounced me around and otherwise extremely rough riding characteristics. Today I had allot to get done ahead of a rain coming in. ****.....but it felt like crap...
