I have an area along a 700' long driveway that I would like to seed. It doesn't need to be a "barefoot" grass, just something I will mow that will stay green to look good from a distance. Grass seeds expensive, so looking for something less pricey. If I plant something like winter wheat will...

Alright, i found a 62D deck that came off a 2520, with it he gave me the brackets but no manual. I looked online and was able to get some info off the JD site, it looks like I may be missing a bracket on the front that is bolted to the tractor. For those with this set up, can you confirm that...

I have 10 acres, finish mow about 2 acres, "rough mow" about 3 acres, garden of 2 acres. I have a Case 530 ag tractor i use for fall plowing, discing, prepping garden. Had a JD317 lawnmower but that is getting pretty worn. Will keep the ag tractor, looking for something to mow, landscape and...

I have a fairly long driveway as shown below: This set-up below works pretty good, much faster than the tractor, up to about 6-8 inches, unfortunately we had some pretty good winds, so drifted area was almost waist deep: Had to fire up my buddys tractor to get my truck out, thought I could...

Planted grass seed this weekend, the area is about an acre. Do I need to cover with hay/straw? What is the purpose of this? Keep from drying out? I wanted to get the hay on before watering, but I just had some rain go thru, so I don't want to put it on now, at least until it dries out. How...

Ok, if i'm going to plant two different varieties of super sweet corn and indian corn what is the rule of thumb to prevent cross polination? I believe I've read that if they tossel 15 days apart you are ok. So my question if one corn is 75 day and the other is 80 day, will i be ok if i plant...

I've been looking for a two row corn planter to pull behind my tractor, but haven't had much luck finding anything under $700. I was wondering if anyone has used the Earthway Precision Garden Seeder and if so how did it work for planting sweet corn. Also hoping to use it to plant pumpkin...

From the construction of my home (some rainy day I'll start a thread from the pictures of the construction, I didn't have an interenet connection while we were building to show/ask questions during the construction), I have approximately 100' of 3' wide silt fence. Can this be used for...

Just wondering what people are paying for concrete? I'm in NE WI, looking to get $2.45-$2.80 sq. ft for 4" of 4000 psi 6 bag mix concrete, 1/2" rebar in 3'x3' grid, rebar doweled to existing foundation , broom finish, concrete sealer, saw cut joints. I know prices will vary with area, but...

Off work today, thought I would post a couple of pics of my brother using my case530 to plow a garden for next year. I come to this site to "dream" of getting a new compact tractor, but for now the '67 case will have to do...

Long story short, I purchased some carpeting to be installed by a national chain store back in March. Ever since I've been getting the run around, first about back orders, then errors in the install, then errors in fixing the errors, just a bad story that has gone on for almost six months. I...

I picked up a Tanaka TBC-501 at an auction. Cleaned up the carb, it's getting spark, seems to have good compression, can't get it to start. Anyone have any ideas?

Any advice on planting apple trees? Anything special needed to be planted next to them to "polunate". Do male & female trees need to be planted next to each other? If so how do you tell them apart? Thanks for the help...

If you get a chance, take a look at this picture and give a guess for what roof pitch this is. I'm trying to sketch of a "barn" for some land I have and would like it to look simialr to this. Also, the slider doors look nice, but don't think they would work so well in WI winters. Any ideas...

I'm bored tonight, so thought I would post some pictures of my future homesite, along with the work my wife and I have done so far. Hopefully I have the picture thing figured out, if not I'll eventually get it right... Anyhow, this was previously farmland, a little over 9.5 acres, about 2 acres...
