I posted this in my skidsteer thread but figured it might be more appropriate here, supposed to have good weather for the next week, gonna need it to get these dry without running a tedder through it.

Anybody have any first hand experience with one of these? I realize they are Chinese made but from all appearances they appear to be much better made than the Topcat and AGT Chinese mulchers and their current pricing is hard to beat.

I've always been told the idea if you have money to invest in the market is to buy in cheap but the market has been high now for several years , seemingly not a lot of low points to buy in, bottom line is I have a little money that has been setting in the market in cash bonds which is a really...

I ordered some bearings from an online farm parts store and it stated these bearings were manufactured in the US , when they came in it says on the bearing box that they are manufactured in China, I really need them but am curious what others experiences have been with China made bearings, on a...

If you live in the South it's that time, I had to spray for them this morning, I wasn't done but an hour and it rained but I did spray contact killer so it should have got the job done, for anyone who hasn't ever seen the damage that these spawns of Satan can do, they can turn a beautiful hay...

I'm looking at one on an auction site and am thinking about bidding on it but don't know anything about this model and really very little about flail mowers, does anyone have any experience with a John Deere 390 flail? it's centered not offset. Thanks.

I have one hayfield that needs the soil sweetened and have been seeing these adds about the benefits of the liquid lime/calcium and while I realize nothing can probably beat dolomite in the long run I'm curious has anyone tried this stuff? And if so what were your results? Thanks. Charlie.

I went ahead and ordered one yesterday added upgraded 8k axles with 17.5 16 ply tires with a spare for $6400 less than I could purchase a comparable Big Tex locally for and while I have never laid eyes on a Kaufman I can't imagine a Big Tex being worth that much more, I will have to drive to...

So several people said they enjoyed my pictures from some of my forestry mowing jobs, so instead of cluttering up hay dudes thread I will post in this thread. It has been a rainy week here in North Florida but I was able to squeeze in a couple of jobs, 1 bush hogging job of about 14 acres and 1...

I thought I would post a few pictures of some forestry mowing I did the other day finding some property corners and clearing the lines for a new fence to be installed.

Long story short one of my diesel tanks developed a slow leak, so I transferred all the fuel into some other tanks and I found a used 500 gallon tank that hasn't had diesel in it in about a year, I want to clean it out good and then dry it out before putting fuel in it. What is ya'll's opinions...

Like the thread title says I was harrowing up a field to plant some sudan and noticed tractor wasn't pulling the harrow as easily as it normally does so it continued to get worse and I xarried it to the barn and my first thought was the filter/screen in the fuel tank, as I just serviced this...

What happened to the diesel fuel shortage thread?

Did a little spraying this morning and got to try out my new Raven GPS system and man is it a game changer for being accurate down to a few inches, I have always guesstimated and or tied ribbon on tree limbs on the ends and felt like I was pretty good but I believe this will make me a little...

So we have started a rear protective bumper for my Kubota 75-2 skid steer, here are a couple of photos of the beginning stages , I will try to post more as we progress.

I ordered a new Kubota SVL-75/2 compact track loader back in February and it finally came in so I went yesterday to get it, before I left with it my salesman said if you want to make 15k off of that skid steer there is a man in Arkansas who has called twice this week wanting that skid steer you...

Had a close call today bearing on one of the tubes that the belts ride on caught fire fortunately I got the tractor unhooked and my wife got the fire extinguisher and got the bearing fire out, got it to the barn and tube is ruined, can't get one till Thursday, but my buddy finished rolling my...

I have a 5093E 2011 model tractor and was looking at the specs on the tractor data and realized the 5083, 5093 and the 5101 all have the same engine with different PTO HP output , there is about 12 more HP when you go from the 5083 to the 5093 and about 5 more HP when you go from the 5093 to the...

I am looking at options to heat and cool, actually mostly cool my 800 sq ft hunting camp that I am building and with some of the prices that I am seeing from AC company's it makes this DIY mini split system look pretty appealing, an 18k btu or ton and a half comes pre-charged with everything you...

I have a Farmtrac 360 with a front end loader, the other day my wife was using it and something went wrong or broke under the joystick, it is very sloppy and I have lost the curl/dump function, the loader will still move up and down. I assume it must be something under the joystick but I have...

Went to do an oil change on my tractor today and when I went to take out the engine oil plug I realized it was square, so I figured 3/8 or 1/2 drive extension would fit it, wrong turns out it's a 10mm female plug, so I strike out in search of a socket not realizing that they are apparently as...

I started a thread about offset harrows a few weeks ago and after quite a bit of looking I think I have it narrowed down to either an 8' 9" pull type with 24" disc blades which weighs around 2700 lbs or a 9' 6" pull type with 24" disc blades that weighs in around 3650 lbs. The larger disc frame...

My tach cable broke on my Farmtrac DTC 360, so I replaced it after less than 5hrs of run time it appears that it has quit again, it is still attached on each end, so I'm guessing it has broke again. Are there any tricks to installing one of these or is there possibly another reason these RPM...

Does anyone else have trouble with army worms? They have wore us out down here in Fla this year.

When pulling my 20' bumper pull equipment trailer with my tractor and mower loaded on it the tongue set's a little low, the trailer pulls good and I can't move the tractor back any farther on the trailer as the mower is right at the ramps now, so I was wondering if I could turn the ball mount...

I would like some advice or opinions if you would please, I have been mowing around my yard and barn with my tractor and bush hog and while it does a fair job it doesn't leave as good a finish as I would like and with the front end loader on it can be somewhat of a pain around the house, so I've...

My dad just bought a new JD 5093E and it started blowing black soot out of the exhaust onto the cab glass at about 25 hrs, not just a little but a lot. He carried it back to the dealer and at first they said that it was not right and it probably needed a new injector pump or the timing advanced...
