I have MF 1250. Several months ago it would not start unless I jumped it with my Ram dually. So I have been that since. Now it will not turn over even while jumping. The tractor battery tests out good. When I turn the key to start there is nothing, when I turn it back to off, there is relay in...

I have a slow running creek on my property. I am toying with the idea of tapping into it for periodic use to water my horse pastures. The challenge is the creek is a good 50 feet below the reat of my property. It is also very restricted by woods. I would need to pump the water up the 50' rise...

I am an electrical dummy. We are just finishing our riding arena and I need to install four 175W mercury vapor security lights. Due to logistics, I need to tap off of an existing line in our barn. This will require a run of about 100 yards to the arena. the existing line only has four electrical...

I would like to add a set of work lights to the roll bar on a MF 1250. Any suggestions on available kits, etc.?

Looking at a 2001 Massey 1250 4x4 with 4:1 FEL. Only 212 hours and in very good shape. Front tires worn from use on asphalt. What would be a fair price range?

We are in the process of doing a makeover on the horse barn. At present the floor of the barn and stalls is very dark sand which produces a black covering over everything. I figure this has to be cured before even attempting to revamp anything else. I do not want to go the route of cement and...

About a year ago we purchased and moved to a horse farm which had been let go to a significant degree. We are in the early stages of repairs, upgrades, etc. I have a notable amount of rusted/rotten fencing to replace. Obviously, we would love to have the pretty, long lasting, vinyl stuff. Unless...

I am in the planning stage of doing a makeover for our horse barn. I was looking for new stall fronts and the prices for commercially made fronts is rediculous. I was wondering if anyone had any experience and suggestions on making your own. I would like to have 4' sliding access doors. Any help...

No, I'm not getting a jump on next Christmas :-) I have about 300 ft of road frontage that I want to visually separate from our pasture area. I'm looking for advice on quick growing trees to provide that type on coverage as quickly as possible. Any suggestions? Thanks

I have been informed by the "Boss" that we need to build an indoor, or at least covered, riding rink for horse lessons. How would this be possible by a family of typically normal means without taking up bank robbing? Any thoughts at all would be much appreciated. I do have the cleared land but...

I have an infestation of spiders in my horse barn. What is the best and safest means by which to eradicate them without killing my horses? Please help.

Well, I got my 2300 FEL/Hardee 42" on Friday. Only got to "hog" about two acres that afternoon. Spent the rest of the weekend rewiring the horse barn and back to the real world today. Guess I won't get to log much seat time till next weekend. Tickled with it so far. I did have a bit of trouble...

I have a chance to buy a Farm Pro 2420 with a finishing mower and 4' box blade for $6,500.00. It is a 2005 model with only 37 hours on it. Is this a decent price and is this an overall good tractor. I am a newbie with 17 acres of pasture in sandy soil, raising a few horses. Thanks.
