    Seeding Pasture

    Okay, I have a couple horses and I put new fescue seed out every year to help generate my fields. I have tried several ways, and none are working to my satisfaction. Help me out.

    TT60 Rear Hydraulics

    I have a TT60. When I bought it, it didn't have the rear hydraulics on it. The dealer said he could install it for about $1000 to $1200.

    Disk and pasture renovator and Horse Pasture?

    What is the difference in a a disk harrow and a pasture renovator? I have an old disk I bought at a auction for $100. I was told I could adjust it for less or more "tillage". I couldn't seem to get it to adjust. I need to plant some new seed in my small pasture. I don't want to do as much damage...

    Pole Barn, Pole Question

    Good evening to all. I'm new to the forum here but I truly like it. There is a wealth of knowledge here from what I've read that I have not found any where else. I will try to be brief. I'm currently in the Army serving in Afghanistan. This will be my last combat tour and then I will leave the...
