I am on my second season with A Del Marino 6 foot flail with hammer blades. My experience thus far is they are not great at cutting at a high cutting height. I would say 4 to 5 inches tops. I will try the trick of tilting it backwards with the top link to see if I can get a higher cutting...

I have a 40 acre farm with about 15 acres fenced into a total of nine smaller pastures. I run sheep and cut hay and this set up actually works very well. It was fenced when I bought the property, but unfortunately it was fenced very poorly. Low quality fencing With t posts spaced way too far...

Yes. Bought a beautiful very low hr (1700) Farmall 856 via live web auction and an old haybine - same auction, different date. The key is that it is a very reputable consignment auction that doesn’t take junk.

Take a look at the LS MT7 101. I love mine. Very nice hay tractor

In a former life, I was a trauma surgeon. Late one night in the middle of winter, a guy came in in rough shape. He had been running a manure spreader and had gotten off the tractor to check something near the hitch and his winter overalls got caught up in the PTO shaft and flipped him around the...

I do the same, but I also go through it again in the spring. No telling how much moisture accumulates in the grease over winter. One thing I learned real quick was to pull all the hay out of the baler before the end of the season. One year I didn’t and I spent hours with A Wire wheel getting...

Where do you get your ag tires from? My Haybine needs a set.

I am of the mindset that I would prefer to do things myself as well. Better job, done exactly the way you want and not depending on someone else’s schedule. Of course, time is a limiting factor and you can only do so much. We’ll see how it goes, but I think I’m gonna try and do, it myself this...

I’m actually looking forward to seeing how well the driver works. Like you, I see the post as the hardest part. I have one of those tractor supply fence enrollers that goes on the three-point so that will make the hanging in the fence easier. And all my runs this year will be straight, so I will...

I really appreciate you taking the time to write such a thoughtful response. This farming stuff is tough when you do it solo. I think the fundamental problem is while my guy is an excellent worker – hard worker, all around nice guy and a stickler for detail, he is a lousy businessman, the bill I...

Thanks - i appreciate your reply. I am well down the road with this project. Same two guys have put in 1600 feet over the last two yrs and it is perfect. I believe in over building. Straight as an arrow and very stout. The property was fence 10 yrs ago with t posts, every 20 feet in some...

So about $10/foot all in?

Thanks for your thoughtful response. Great information. I am very happy with the fence install (see my previous response) but the labor charge I thought was exorbitant. I have just picked up a Danuser Post driver and I’m going to finish it up myself.

Thanks. Wood posts, 5 inch line posts spaced every 8‘. 6“ corner posts. All posts 0.60 cca. H Braces every hundred feet. Red brand sheep and goat, fencing, 48 inches with monarch knot. Rolling land. Sandy loam with some rocks. Looking for price per foot. I’m asking because I was just...

Curious as to what you all might be paying to have a woven wire fence on wood posts put up? Thanks
