    Hay Making on a Different Scale

    Those are some skinny yields. We are now getting rain down here. Light rain Tuesday night, Weds and now Thursday morning. We had 1/2-1” of rain last weekend, that should help, but this rain is little too late to help. I should be done hay in about 25 days. What’s your predicted end for 2nd...

    Should be quick dry times. I guess I’m looking for a silver lining in the clouds.

    Other than Kubota and Deere, are any other brands available with a diesel?

    Sure. We have a group of over 20 of us who have had a private message conversation going for years now. I’d doubt it’s truly 100% “private” though. ;)

    I also have driven one of my Customer’s Kubota UTV’s. I like the cab a lot, but when I started driving it uphill, I was surprised how doggy it was. The HST soaks up a lot of power.

    Test drove used John Deere Gator 6x4, have questions

    I’m probably going to focus on a 4x4 diesel gator and pass on the 6x4. The 6x4 looks good & heavy duty, but the test drive left me wanting better turning radius and more speed. I’m sort of surprised that deere hasn’t upped the HP on the 6x4 from 18 to 24.

    The Life of a Custom Mowing contractor

    Of course it would, but I’m going to put the new struts on. The struts themselves have broken and been welded before, so they’ve been through a lot. Once one side broke, the other side won’t be far behind. When it breaks, it scares the crap out of you because the front tires come very close...

    The Life of a Custom Mowing contractor

    Today was one of those days that’ll make a man out of you. Was cutting hay in some drizzle, then this happened. The vertical strut connecting the cutterbar to the mower chassis experienced “metal fatigue” and simply broke off. Called Agriteer/Pottinger parts and they said thats a known...
