Hi All, I was wondering if anyone has made something for a car hauler trailer that would allow you to haul 2 rows of round bales and that propped the bales up over the fenders. Thanks Lee

I was wondering if anyone had comments on either the Dodge Dakota 4x4 crew cabs or Chevy Colorado 4x4 crew cabs. I seem to be in the situation where I need to trade in my Corolla (grrrr) for a 4x4 as I work for a power company now and all these storms have things all messed up. My drive is .25...

I was wondering how wide I need to make a drive so a tractor and square baler can cross a ditch. I need to make 2 ditch crossings so the farmer that is haying next year can get equipment over the ditches easily. The pipes come in 20' sections and I was thinking 10' might not be enough space...

So I know there are numerous threads on pto generators and generators in general but I didn't want to hijack anyones thread. Like some I am considering a pto generator and am pushing to get one to power the house. I have a 40 hp tractor with a 35 hp pto.. Based on the info on the other threads...

I posted before with problems with my 300x loader cutting down to half speed all of a sudden and so I changed the hydro fluid, filter and cleaned the screen which had very small particles in it. Everything was working great for about 4 hrs after I put everything back together and refilled the...

I posted before with problems with the loader cutting down to half all of a sudden and so I changed the hydro fluid, filter and cleaned the screen which had particles in it. Everything was working great for about 4 hrs and wham.... as soon as I worked the loader on a grade I'm back in the same...

I'm trying to come up with a way to primarily unload a hay wagon with small square bales but also "maybe" try to be able to be scoop up the bales out of the field and load onto a trailer. I'm not in the hay biz nor do I really want to be so I don't want to spend lots of money on this. Next year...

Since Im new at this I figured I would pick some brains before I start digging into my hydraulic problem. I have a 1998 JD 4400 Hydro with 330 hrs on it. I was recently driving tee posts in with the FEL and the next day noticed the FEL was performing at about half the speed and strength. Ive...

Hi All, I need some help planning out a rain water catch system for livestock. I plan on catching the water off the barn about 100 away from an old cistern. Once the water is in the cistern I知 trying to figure what to do next to get the water back out. I guess in a perfect world I would set up...

All right guys? I'm still trying to figure out what I'm going to do. I've read a few of you have the crew UTV's and wanted to pick some brains. I've got 3 little ones, 2 - 4 year olds and 1 - 2 year old and am planning on getting them involved as much as possible with chores around the farm. I'm...

Is the RTV the only vehicle out there that doesn't use a belt in its drivetrain? I"m trying to figure these things out as my 4 wheeler isn't doing enough for me these days. Thanks Lee

Hey Guys, I know the whole JD 300x vs the 300cx loader subject has been beat around a lot but I was wondering for those of us who are stuck with the 300x out of ignorance... will the 300x handle a 1500 lbs round bale? Or how about the 1000 lbs bale? Also will the frontier bale spear for the...

Hi All, I'm trying to get some info to see if it is cost effective to buy some hay equipment and be more self sufficient. The farmer that leases my ground made me mad and I've finally had enough to start trying to figure something else out. I have about 20 ac of hay ground and I have a JD 4400...

I attached a pic of the ATV sprayer I got and there is a hole in the upper right corner of the pic... nothing is mentioned in the manual as I can see and was wondering is this a defect... or am I just not seeing something. Thanks Lee
