    Another rant about buying used

    "As soon as I got there and saw it, I knew I was getting fleeced. But stupid me..." That's right. Trust your first instinct, you should have walked away. If you had, you wouldn't have had to make this post.

    Buying Advice Cab or no cab?

    One thing to look into is the purchase of two 40' shipping containers spaced however far apart, with trusses however high you like across for a roof. Ends can be added if you like.

    Buying Advice Cab or no cab?

    I'm 73 - with health issues as well - and in 1990 started out with a Kubota B7200 17 hp 2WD, which was essentially a lawn mower, and a poor one at that, for my then 5 acres. In 2002, I replaced that with a zero turn 28 hp diesel Grasshopper with a 6 ft. deck, a huge improvement. With the...

    No cost option for food plots

    Update: Beans are doing GREAT! Some of them are 4' tall and have pods. Deer are delighted and we're seeing some really nice bucks - still nocturnal at this point - in the game cam pics taken at trophy rock sites at the edge of bean fields. Here are a few from a couple of weeks ago.

    Should I fill my front tractor tires with foam?

    Not exactly an attachments question, but this is where I hang out. If the moderators really want to move it, so be it, but maybe some other folks in this section might be interested. Unfortunately, our farm has many honey locust trees with the long, nasty thorns which continuously assault our...

    No cost option for food plots

    Last year I rented a drill from the County and planted about five acres total of soybeans in three plots. Only one of the plots halfway turned out, the other two produced very little. I was very disappointed after spending hundreds of dollars and a number of hours. The plants that survived...

    How well does your stump grapple work?

    I'm contemplating the purchase of a stump grapple for its intended use, plus general digging where things are too hard for my bucket with a tooth bar. My tractor is 55 hp and the front end loader can lift 2900 lbs. I'm leaning towards a 3/16" one from Mid-State that weighs 560 lbs.; the...

    Help identify cultipacker, please

    First, no pictures yet. I bought it yesterday morning, got the flu yesterday afternoon, and it's cold and raining outside. Pics later if cannot be identified without. Double axle, almost 7' in width. Packer wheels good, but really needs bearings on one end, probably much more (the hole...

    Thinking about buying a tree shear; suggestions?

    I'm considering the purchase of a tree shear, since the rental rates around here are ridiculous. Like grapples, there's quite a price range. (Unfortunately, WildKat doesn't list a tree shear, but I have a call into them). One that has caught my attention is from Neon Material Handling and...
