I was out at the farm yesterday. Mowed both sides of the fence line with the tractor and then hopped into the Teryx to go along the fence and replace a few insulators. UTV's were made for that kind of work. ;o} After finishing that up and putting the Teryx back in the barn I noticed that there...

About a 3 foot long rattler in the field that I was broadcast seeding and cultipacking. It did not survive the encounter......

And a Kioti DK45SE HST tractor and a 7.5 ft wide disc. Is it crazy to try and row crop that amount of acreage with with the Kioti and some kind of old seed drill? I do not have the seed drill yet. Any recomendations on what size and/or model? I would not mind having to refurbish the drill...

That is good quality and does not cost an arm and a leg. Not having good luck with the $100 pump from TSC and really do not want to lay out $309 for a "silver" pump if I do not have to.

So I am thinking of buying a 1500 gallon water tank at TSC to put by the barn like this one: Water Storage Tank, 1,500 gal. - 2126917 | Tractor Supply Company I will also purchase a pickup truck style 250-300 gallon tank to tote water from my house which is about 40 minutes away. Since I go to...

I made a pass over the acreage I disced to break up the large clods and firm up the seedbed before seeding Bermuda. Seems like there is too much side to side play for the wheels and they clatter a fair bit pulling even at very low speed. There are three bushing/shims on the end of each side of...

I am in the process of trying to convert 9 acres from unused land to pasture. I have cleared the brush and dead trees, sent soil out for a analysis, subsoiled to break up the hardpan and disced at different angles over several passes. Below is a pic of one of the fields. Does this need to be...

It was sunning itself on the road near my farm. Not sure what kind it was as it turned and scooted off the road faster than I have ever seen a snake move as I drove by. I don't even like snakes driving by at 30 mph. ;o{

What are the right sizes for a seed drill, cultipacker and chain harrow for a 45HP HST tractor that is a bit less than 6 feet wide?

Anyone have a Tractor Supply 6.5 foot disc harrow? If so is it a good unit? I need to buy a disc and am considering picking up one of the square tube frame models from TSC(link below). CountyLine Heavy-Duty Disc Harrow - 2128278 | Tractor Supply Company Warhammer

and cover grass seed in a new pasture if you don't have a culitpacker?

When the chain harrow is aggressive side up?

First time using a disc today. Pics are of one pass over the ground. It is recently cleared and I am looking to make it into pasture. It does not dig in deep enough. More passes at an angle and more weight on the disc? How much weight would be in the ballpark? Warhammer

I just had some acreage cleared to convert to pasture. Is there any type of hay you can broadcast seed that will grow fast enough to allow the introduction of a low density of cattle within 9 months or a year? Attached is a pic of the cleared area. Besides wanting to make a pasture out of...
