    3rd function, pressure can't connect

    IMO, keeping the attachments hoses looped together works best. Helps to keep dirt out too. Weather changes don't seem to build pressure in the loop regardless of cylinder position.

    I got last load of horse hay bales today.

    I have calculated out our cost per bale adding in all costs (tillage, seed, fertilizer, chemicals, depreciation, taxes and time). Looks like I'm definitely in the minority. One of the guys told me, "just make your rounds smaller to increase profits".

    I got last load of horse hay bales today.

    How many of you know exactly how much it costs to produce one bale of hay? Quite a few of the locals love to spit out costs, while never telling of profits. What really is a "fair" price per unit? I can make money at $5 for small squares (21 pack), $40 for 4x4 rounds and $70 for large squares...

    Comparison Shuttle shift or hydrostat?? Is the extra costs worth it in a 50hp-ish cab tractor for pto power (brush hogging)

    Noise is a fairly common complaint, the second biggest probably being "my tractor won't". Then they want to tell you why, at idle (or barely above) their tractor doesn't perform well.

    Cattle questions

    (y) Let’s not forget the biggie of having livestock. No matter how you feel or where you are, they need to be fed and watered and mucked and…… To the OP, How much hay are you buying and where are you storing it?

    Yep, the office we use has 6 vets right now. 3 of them do large animal and unfortunately the big money is in small animals. They can earn about double a day in the office vs field so I’ve been told. We can trailer in to their office if really needed.

    Brine solution, here it’s 2 pounds of rock salt per gallon of water (~25 f). Other places use salt and beet juice (~5F). Some places are using calcium magnesium acetate instead of salt (-17F) supposed to be more eco friendly. Not sure what the high dollar, earth friendly western states do 😋
