Our horse customers "act like" professional perfectionists. Tough crowd.

Fortunately, we have local Farm Service company doing this for us. They will tell us when to disc and when they are coming back. The tricky part is next spring. Those seeds that will be brought up discing will need to emerge before the second spray. It's just a matter of when we will be...

Toxic to horses and most animals. We have a good local farm service that is used to dealing with this stuff. We will disc this fall after this burn, and then spray again next spring. Discing in the fall helps bring the dormant seeds up, so the spring application has a second chance to catch...

In some States / Counties, you aren't even allowed to eradicate it yourself. The county takes over, burns the field and sends you a bill. Soybeans are the major concern, since horsenettle can be harvested with the soybeans.

Yep, Really. After discussing with our County Extension office, and the amount of soybean around us, they recommended a burn down. The fields were old and ready to be redone anyhow, so this was kinda what we needed to just start the process. There are a few things you can apply to try to get...

We solved our weather issue this week. Found Horsenettle (confirmed by Michigan State) in both fields after baling second cutting. Had a local farm service burn out both fields. Will disc this fall and start over next spring. Can stop watching the weather all day for a while. Problem...

Set the selector switch to AUX., and plug your phone into the mic plug. The USB Port provided in the tractor is a Power Port, not an auxiliary port. You need to use the little mic plug to play through AUX. with the switch set to AUX. The speakers are all wired, nothing to do there. Hope this...

Don't remove the Liner from the inside!! All you need to do to install the radio is remove the cab roof. There are nuts you remove from the outside, front and side, and the cab roof will lift off exposing the top side of the roof liner. Most of the time you can add a radio by just removing...

We have a strange weather phenomenon here we call the Lansing Shadow. Late spring to early summer, the weather pattern here changes. Any fronts coming directly from the west across lake Michigan will die out just west of Lansing. The storm line will split at Lansing, go north and south of us...

To be clear, this will void the manufacturers (KIOTI) warranty. It is also illegal, but that is probably a mute point these days.

18 acres 2nd cut down, doing nothing but shielding the ground from direct rain. Now rain forecasted tomorrow and Saturday. What a mess.

They are the same tractor. Please consider that it is usually 3-5 months between the time the tractor is manufactured until it is available to be delivered to a dealer lot. Most of the time, everything we have on the lot until April - June, will have a previous year serial number. The dealer...

Check your local DOT requirements for equipment tie-downs. Most states require a separate tie down for each wheel on the machine. The receiver hitch tie down could be considered a single tie down point which in some states may not meet DOT Requirements.

Use Use an Anti-Seize thread compound on the new Glow Plug threads. With the dis-similar of metals between the Head and the Glow Plug, we have seen several Glow Plugs that get seized in the Head. Spray the bottom of the existing Glow Plugs with Anti-Seize and let it sit for 15 minutes before...

This update was to increase the spring tension on the lower lock pins. Hope this helps
