First of all Sandman, if you are out there, I'm sorry, really really sorry, but don't worry. I will get this fixed! ;) Second, yes, that is right, it is when your toothbar only has TWO teeth. :D Now don't get upset with me, I'm KY born/bred, so I can say stuff like that. It's not like...

Thought I'd share this with you all. I'm sure you've seen these here and there, but we just got this for my little girl. Figured I'd start her off right. She picked this over a Barbie Jeep: She had such a blast, she wanted me to get in my tractor and follow her around. It even has a...

When I first got my tractor I noticed that I had to be careful not to cut the wheel too hard if I was going very fast at all or my front wheels would leave big ruts in the grass. Here's what kind of tires I have: We were in a drought most of the summer, so the ground was like concrete. I...

So I did a little research... here's what Bush Hog sells now: It appears from what I can gather, that these teeth are heavier duty than the teeth on a bar, so for digging and such, that should be a good thing. The down side is the pain in the keister factor if you want to take them off. Too...

Yep, will do. It was dark by the time we got to that last night so I couldn't get a shot of one on a bull. We did one with white on his hind section, and it turned out real nice. I'll get some shots of the brand tomorrow, both metal and on the animals. The cool thing in relation to this...

Yikes! That is some serious drill work. Kind of makes my stuff look like whittling butter. We're in the middle of working the cattle right now, but I'll be back on the phone next week trying to find that tooth bar. Here's some cool metal work. I'll get a better shot of it later, but here's...

Home made huh? I wonder....... Looks like there's something etched on the side there... let me see if I can zoom in and see what it is... ...ah ha! I bet this was Rob's middle school shop class final! :D

Actually, dieselfuelonly, I am a little concerned for you. I've seen this look before: That's the same way my wife looks at my tractor now. The difference is that your horses don't have the luxury of voicing those thoughts (I am assuming here, maybe your horses are more talented then ours)...

Do I sound like the kind of guy who would have a magnetic base drill?!?! HA! That is great! My feeling of inadequacy is now complete. :) So does this mean that you don't think my drill will have enough umph to get the job done? Here's a picture of it: :D (Glad to hear the JD is back among...

We had a family reunion on an old family farm over Labor Day weekend. While there I noticed tons of poison ivy all over the woods next to the fields they mowed so that we could camp out and stuff. I asked who did that and how they faired with all that poison ivy. One of my uncles said he'd...

No worries there friend, look at the tred on those tires: No way I'm replacing them until I have to, even if I had the money I'm way too tight. I will however be careful with them. Like a dog with 3 legs, you learn how to get around in your situation as if it were normal. That caution will...

jinman, Howdy, thanks for the input there. I by no means would ever rule out operator error. In fact, that's a virtual guarantee with me! :) My brother refers to this as an "I.D. 10-T" error. When you put that closer together you get Id10t, or more simply put, Idiot. :o I've certianly...

Very simple answer. We're in Kentucky, the Bluegrass state. When we're in a drought the grass turns green instead of blue! :D HA! No seriously, I think the difference is the yield on the fields. The grass is not as thick, not as long, and the clover tends to get burned up pretty fast...

Here's the deal: In central KY we're having the worst drought in decades. Many cattlemen have been feeding hay since late July in some cases. Who knows what they will do come winter as hay is not only expensive, but so scarce so there may not be any to buy. I was mowing my lawn tonight...

Hmmm.... some good points. Safe zone needs better acces. If I could flip the whole thing around, mirror image, the dube actually has a little gate in the side of it that would give perfect access. The only problem is the main entrance would be there by the barn in the middle of the fence...
