    Which wheel rake?

    I have a Kuhn SR108 and a Frontier (Pequea) WR1312. Both are good rakes, with all independent wheels and adjustable front width/rear windrow width. Be sure to get a high clearance rake. The older v-rakes with small tires and low frames are terrible in thick hay. In thin hay, having separate...

    Trailer Tires

    For horse/livestock trailers, I would skip the load range E tires, and go to a load range G. All four of my goosenecks, cattle trailers and flatbeds, now run 235/85/16 Freedom Hauler load range G tires. Much better load carrying capacity. Your wheel and valve stems do have to be rated for the...

    Skid Steer 3pt Quick-Hitch

    I have one that is mainly used on the CTL for a woven wire fence unroller/stretcher. It is much easier to stretch wire and position closer to the posts with the skid steer versus being on the back of a tractor.

    Radial tractor tires

    Most ag tire manufacturers do not recommend liquid ballast in radial tires. I have two tractors with radials and liquid ballast, and one tractor with radials and wheel weights. All other tractors have bias rears with liquid ballast. I do not like liquid ballast in rear radials, it negates...

    Help! Can't decide which trailer, LOL

    The mega ramps sit flat on the ground under compression, this keeps the rear of the trailer from squatting and lifting the front of the trailer/rear of the truck... much safer, and no need for rear jacks. If the ramps are hard to lift up after loaded, just drive forward a few inches. All of my...

    Need 7-16 r 1 tire the right size.

    You can't tell by comparing unmounted and mounted tires. My guess is they would be fairly close in size after mounting.

    What is it worth

    I've brazed or soldered holes in brass radiators on three different occasions, and all held for many years. Or a good radiator shop can boil it out and repair it for you.

    What is it worth

    I would start at the dealer, and google from there. I'm sure there are some around if the OP looks hard enough.

    What is it worth

    AR 36816 is the 5020 front frame plate, not a radiator part number. AR 36814 is the radiator if I'm not mistaken.
