This thread helped me get what has been a life saver on the farm. After a lot of reading and making several posts I decided to go with the WR Long grapple, but that fell apart. I took a shot with an unknown, and I have been nothing but happy with the quality and construction thus far. I do...

Until recently I have been either borrowing equipment or having the neighbor make my hay in trade for him keeping what he needed. For the last several years I did not have my own cows, so this was a good arrangement. Now that I have my own cows I need to keep my hay for myself, and that means...

After reading this forum for years and learning as much as I can without posting, I am finally posting a question. I am (this week) planning to purchase a new tractor. My plan is to use this tractor to help get the farm back to its former glory with lots of post hole digging, a fair amount of...
