    small Hay operation: what equipment can I run?

    Man it's hard to believe it's been a full year since my last post. Oh well. Anyway my question is this: is there any baler out there that can be run by a 25hp )PTO tractor? If so does anyone know the site and how heavy a bale it makes?

    surprised at Big Red's fun level

    I do a fair amount of ATV riding, mostly on a 650 Cat. I wouldn't say I'm harcore but I know a fair amount about the sport. Anyway, two weeks ago my wife's grandfather had his retirement auction, and I bought his 1985 250 Honda Big Red (ATC250ES) for keeping up at the cabin. There isn't a body...

    who biulds and exports 100HP chinese tractors

    I'm looking into replacing the ol' air cooled Deutz DX120 and was wondering what my options are for the chinese brands. I came VERY close to importing a Jinma a few years back but the distributer I was dealing with at the time says he doesn't bring them in that big. Does anyone have a large...

    importing tires from off shore

    O.K this isn't really a related topic with regards to tractors, but I wanted to ask it on TBN because I truly value some of the top notch advice I have been given here in the past. Here is the deal. I have a small trucking company that hauls mostly logs to area mills. Because of our terrain...

    baling. enough horsepower?

    I was at a show recently where I laid my eyes for the first time on a TYM tractor. I was extremely impressed with their fit and finish and visibility. However I would need one big enough to run my john deere 535 (5x6 varaible chamber) baler. Do they ship a tractor to North America big enough to...

    JD Trail Buck, vs Kawasaki Brute Force 650

    I've been getting a huge kick out of watching my dad agonize over a new atv purchase. During this time I've been pricing a new highway tractor and I honestly think my $150,000 purchase is getting less thought than his $8,000 purchase. His big debate is between a Kawi 650 and a JD 650. Both...

    Husqvarna with Kohler Courage

    I'm in the midst of purchasing a new lawn tractor and have narrowed it down to a John Deere 125 or a Husqvarna YTH20F42T. Both dealers I would consider friends of mine, both are with 3 miles of my house and their service would be comparable. The Deere has several advantages: resale(in this area...

    Crystal Tractors?

    I recently saw a picture of a Crystal 169 tractor. It actually lokks pretty cool. I'm guessing it was 100ish HP and had almost a Valtra look to it. Anyone know anything about these tractors? I'm assuming that they are only sold in Europe. Are they affiliated with anyone?

We farm hay and have 3 field where my large tractors sink out of sight so I was thinking a small round chinese baler...
