TX Jim, Thank you for the heads up. After going out and looking it made perfect sense what you were saying. I had my wife rotate them.:laughing: Now I'm going to go out and turn the hay. And my wife said to double check her work.:)

I have cut my field and it looks great. To early to estimate how much I'll get, but it'll be more than I ever have.:thumbsup: Also got my hay rake which I will be using tonight.

My son and I have finished the Cupola. Now that's it's done I wish I would have gone with a 6/12 pitch instead of the 4/12 pitch (cupola only), but it still looks good I think. The work bench is next but will have to wait until the hay is cut and stacked in the barn.

Looks great powerscol, I think I'll be cutting in the next two weeks. The oats are just starting to seed out. The rain we have been getting combined with fertilizer has made my field look better than it has for the last 20 years. I'm looking forward to cutting. Not the best picture to see the...

So I have spread about 30 tons of gravel on the entry to the barn. Still need some more to finish the road but it's good enough for now. I am also working on installing a Cupola. Here's a picture of the frame work. I want to put it on the roof to check for fit and such before building any more...

Here's a few more shots of the field. As you can see the snow is about gone and the mountains are greening up. It's about 80 degrees today.

My herd has doubled. :laughing: Went from one heifer to her and her bull calf. Delivered with no problems.

Your field looks great joeu235. I spent last week in Missouri with our son. (Whiteman AF base) While we were gone it rained a lot and we got a new calf too. Here are some shots of the field and calf. I might cut at the end of the month.

OK here goes Thall, took these a couple days ago. Kyle, while I would love a heated work area there is no plan for that right now. (But I reserve the right to never say never.) Eddie, I love how big it is. My wife is now a barn widow. Her words. I can sit and look out the south door up in the...

I finished another mile stone on my barn. The floor is completely done.:) I used Crusher Fines to finish it off. It is so nice to be rid of the dust. Here are some pics I took. This last picture is my next project, getting a nice work bench. The barrels and plywood has to go.

For the last week it has rained a lot here. So my field is looking really good, sadly it has been 45-55 degrees so not growing much. This next week it's supposed to dry out and get warmer. Here is a couple shots I took last night, can't see the growth to much though. Looking back from my house...

I cut with a New Holland model 388 Haybine 9' cutter bar.

All the post are pressure treated 6x8x18. The ones for the awning are 6x6 cut to the length I needed.

Thanks farmer, Some of the higher mountains in Utah do have year round snow/ice. My home sits about 4500', so about another month and no more snow for me. Odd thing is lots of people love the views I have, and I love the views they have- - -trees! I guess it's hard to find the perfect place...

True and then I found this weird object in my garage. A level, and woolaw. I could have used a 3 point post hole digger but this bobcat drills a much straighter hole. And my neighbor was happy to do it.:thumbsup: All elevations were done with a water level. There was a lot of work between...

If you have the equipment this is how I put in my post. (6x6 and 6x8 18') In this forum I have a thread called "Raising a barn" you might find the pictures helpful for your project.

I agree with all of this; I grow my own hay because I enjoy it. Total cost for me last year was 70 grand to get set up. That includes a new tractor and the barn in my avatar. The rest of my equipment is old and needed a little work but everything works great at this point. I could have bought...

It's been dry here for the last two weeks. Finally today it rained with more expected the next two days. My field is looking good and the water will keep it that way. How are the rest of you doing this year? This is how the field looked yesterday. I ordered a 6 wheel Befco V rake a few days...

So I finally got around to putting up the gates on both sides of the barn. I plan on getting the ground inside leveled out this weekend so I can get the gravel/road base in and compacted. As you can see from the pictures the oats are coming up good. Supposed to rain a couple days this week...

I have the Titan 42" forks with the hay spear. Used the crap out of them building my barn.

I have finished the concrete work around the perimeter of my barn. It is sloped under the doors out of the barn. I'll give the concrete a couple weeks to harden before I move fill in to finish the dirt area in the middle.

I have the RX6620 and could not be happier. It has done everything needed with power to spare and excellent fuel economy. Like Woodchuck, this is also my first tractor. My wife has also spent many hours in the drivers seat building our new barn and had no problems. Enjoy your search.

It's trying hard to be spring in Utah. Looking south from my back porch.

Just an update on my progress; it's been slow. Between rain and snow I can't get a cement truck back to the barn. I'm hoping within a week or two it will dry out enough to get the cement work done. This was 5 days ago.

It is a spring tooth harrow. The depth is adjustable by moving the wheels up/down to desired depth. Behind that is just old rod iron railing to smooth out everything for seeding. Here's a little better picture.

These guys are doing it that way because they choose too, and I respect that. But I have tremendous respect for the farmers of 100 years ago. They worked hard for every thing they grew with equipment that was not that good. We can get a field ready to seed in just hours, it would have taken...

I don't think power is ever going to be a concern for you. :thumbsup: Mine is only 66 hp, I have not needed more power. Check out this hole I dug with the FEL. I'm sure you'll be smiling for years to come.

Well the good growth has come to a stop. This is what we woke up to. Sorry bad picture. I'm still glad to see it, it's water!

Welcome kenc74, Nice looking tractor and if you are like me; you'll be looking for any chore that requires using it.:thumbsup:

I took these pictures today. Some rain and 50 sunny degrees really helped!

As you can see from the picture we have a good rain storm here in northern Utah right now. The weather is saying that it might turn to snow later today with 2-4 inches for my place. I'm really excited to be getting the rain. The oats are up about 1-3 inches so this will really boost their growth.

I had 5 acres fertilized 3 weeks ago. This machine was huge, took him 10-15 minutes and the whole field was done. The alfalfa is coming up and the newly seeded oats are about inch tall. :thumbsup:

Keep it in this barn on a tarp. If I need more space I have a bigger barn. I realize many TBNers need much more storage space than this little barn. (21X36) But it works for me at this point. The big barn pictured in my avatar has much more space, but it's not needed yet.

Even though it has been cool (30 to mid 50 degrees) I was in the field Monday and noticed some green shoots coming up. Very excited to say the least. We have been getting enough rain/snow mix to keep the ground moist. Hopefully it will warm up in the next couple weeks and the field will just...

I had sediment problems for years until I installed a Y strainer and filter for the whole house. It didn't cost very much but sure has made a difference in valves lasting longer without any problems. Every month or so I open the valve under the Y strainer and blow out any sediment. The filter...

I use my Spring tooth harrow and then some old railing with weight added to it. You can see the before and after in the second picture. Works very well.

The picture was last year of coarse. Just dirt so far this year, but it is fertilized and seeded with oats on top of the existing alfalfa. Just needs water and sun!

No kidding! I get excited just knowing I have something to do where I get to use my tractor.:D Since there are no pictures yet on this thread, I had to add one.:)

I have the similar Titan forks. Here is what the hay spear looks like. I do not have the stabilizers on for these pictures. I used the forks every day building my barn. I would recommend them.

Thanks Kevin, I do enjoy a really nice view. If my house was up on the hill behind me I would be able to see the Great Salt Lake, but it's just out of my view. Here's a shot looking back from my house.

To the original post; If you are going to stay in your home many more years, build a wood shed. It's one time and you'll be happy not to mess with a tarp anymore. This was my old wood shed. I built a new barn (where the old wood shed was) and made it big enough to have a bigger wood storage...

With the warm weather we have had for a couple weeks I took advantage of it by removing the fence and hydrant on the south side of my barn. The picture shows the hydrant, but it's gone now. I will be putting up the gates on both sides within a week or two. But no hurry, the cows are in a...

Due to the warm weather we have had for over a week now. I have been able to work my pasture, fertilize and over seed my alfalfa with oats. Now, if Mother Nature will help out over the next 3 months I should have plenty of hay. I am getting a new V-Rake this year, looking into the Befco brand...

I have a very light scrapper blade but it keeps the small ditch on the side of my house cleaned out good enough.

X2 I worked on my haybine last summer for about 8 hours one day and nearly killed myself, (not kidding) to make an adjustment that should have taken 20 minutes at the most. In the end I got the job done and I'm still alive.:) Here's the haybine in action.

I have the 42" forks. Delivery was quick to a Tractor supply by my house. Used them extensively building my barn. Also got the optional hay spear with stabilizers. Very pleased with everything.

I dug this trench with the FEL 2 months after getting my tractor. I have to admit, it took a little time to burn the movements into my thick head. But it was going smooth after that. The more you use it the more natural it will feel.

Another update on my barn. I have wired up all the plugs that I can foresee needing. I have one light wired up just so there is light inside. I am still deciding what type of lights I want inside. The corner where I'm putting in a workbench I want well lit. The rest of the barn just needs light...

Glad I could help.:) The place I bought mine had a 7320 but even the 6620 is more than I really need. My wife talked me into going as big as I did and getting a cab. Sure glad she was there to help me make the right decision.:thumbsup: I'm sure you will agree soon enough that the fuel economy is...

Dodge with a cummins and here's a couple of the trailers.

Welcome Kozzy, :welcome: I'm happy for you, can hardly wait for retirement myself. Desire is the main thing, you'll figure the rest out easy enough. Lots of help here. Was not long ago I did not own one piece of equipment, now I'm growing hay and cows. :licking: Good luck.

Thanks Bota, it is a beautiful place with great views. I store my wood inside this barn.

Need I say anything more?

Moving wood from barn to "getting ready to burn stack."

I have owned my tractor now for a year and still look for things to do just so I can drive it. It is amazing how much power they really have. Here is a picture of my first real work done by my RX6620PS. Dug the whole leach line up with the FEL in about 2.5 hours. The deep end was about 7' deep...

I honestly watch the weather report daily just to see when the next storm is due, and how much to expect. I do have a little different reason though.

The one I bought looks liked it spent a long time outside. Now it has a dry sunless home.:)

I say to each their own. You don't want kids don't have them. To those who do want them; make sure you can support them. Personally, I have never been more proud than when my boys do something that deserves praise. My oldest (26) is a couple years out of college, but while going made it to the...

I have a Land Pride rear scrapper and have been happy with it. It is the lighter model but does what I need it to do. I have not needed it for snow removal yet, but as you can see from the picture it keeps my little run off ditch clear. I used it to level off my leach line area, worked great.

Congrats; my wife is the one who talked me into getting a cab model. I'm sure glad she did.:) No dust for me!

I am not anything close to an expert on balers. That said I bought a NH 316 this past summer. I put new twine cutters on, tightened up all the chains, changed gear oil in both boxes and greased everything. It worked fine with no problems all summer. So far it was a good buy for me.:thumbsup:

I can never seem to get enough. Send it my way.

When I use these two pieces of equipment my tires spin a lot if in two wheel drive. Four wheel drive it pulls just fine.

I have a question about loading the tires on my tractor. I understand the benefit for loader purposes; my question is will the tractor act differently at higher speeds like moving from one field to another, and will it be more or less stable turning while going at higher speeds? Thanks I look...

Welcome from Utah, pictures are almost mandatory. She is due March 1st for her first calf.:)

Here's what we have on. "Put another log on the fire":cool2:

We are going to have a white Christmas here with even more on Christmas day.

The big doors have been installed. Much warmer inside now without the wind howling through it. I will remove the fence in the spring and put gates up on both corners. (on the end facing the field) I'm going to seal the whole perimeter inside with concrete, (spring time) and then bring in some...

Tom I do burn a fair amount of wood. I mostly have it for emergencies (power going out) but it sure is nice to come in out of the cold and stand by the wood stove. This year we have been burning almost every day. When we built the barn we decided to add the awning area for wood storage, sure...

If you look for the the title "Raising a barn" in the "Rural living" thread you'll see many pictures of building it. I just finished in November, the big door are going on next Monday. I'll post a picture or something to bring the thread back to the front.

Got the wood all stacked and ready for the winter.

All good advice and as others have stated "make it bigger". I have built three now and think I finally got it big enough. 57X72 Here are pictures of where it stands now, waiting for doors.

I put the clear panels on the sides of my barn. While I don't have the big doors on yet, I can tell I will not need lights during the day. I do not plan to insulate or heat. As you can see it's just like being outside with all the light that comes in. Waiting for doors but everything else is done.

General, I would suggest building a working platform. (if you have pallet forks) I built this one from just scrap wood before building my barn. It was used as much as any tool I had.

Here is a picture of mine. The only thing not stock was an extra set of hydraulics.

Sorry for not responding sooner; I got into full barn building mode for September and October. The answer for "Grobinson2 is YES. I look for reason's to use the tractor. I have not had a single problem thus far, very happy with it. Here are a few pictures of the barn build, used the tractor...

I agree with your statement "I do like to play in the snow". My motto is "Let it snow, Let it snow, Let it snow". Sounds like a song doesn't it?:)

Here is another update on the barn build. As you can see from this picture getting done is a priority. I am still struggling with the metal supplier, I have had one problem after another getting the right stuff. (pieces we order and confirm in person) When it shows up or I go to pick it up, it...

I ride as often as time permits. Up in the Canadian rockies. Mirror lake highway in Utah. (end of June) Trip through the Redwoods.

I was able to get some of the trim I was waiting for. The entire roof is now done, that's a good feeling since winter is just around the corner. This picture is looking out my living room window. Note the hint of white up in the mountains. Yes, it's snow!!

Not sure I posted a picture of how I moved the trusses in place. Since the weight of each one is about 400 pounds trying to carry them in was not much of an option. Maybe when I was 25 it would have been.:laughing: Here is my only pictures of how it was done.

I still do not have the trim yet but have started moving all the firewood into the barn. Lots of work but glad I have a big bucket on the tractor. Supposed to rain Thursday so I hope I can get all the wood moved in and get the rest of the trim up.

Thanks farmer; The translucent panels run the full length of the barn on the east and west sides. Here are the pictures. The east is 14" high and the west is 30" high. I think it will let plenty of light in, even on cloudy days. The last picture is inside just before sunset. Still plenty of...

Yes, we did a lot in the time period we had. I was on vacation the whole time though so I had every day to work on it. (except Sundays,rain and windy days) I wish we could have stayed in the budget we had. I was thinking 15-17 grand without doors. So far we are about 21 grand. I still have not...

I took some pictures last night. As I said there are a few more trim pieces and the doors but it's pretty much done with the big stuff. Here are the west and north walls. Here are the south and west walls. All the metal up and getting ready to paint the entry door trim. This is the east...

Some progress on barn; The roof is complete.:) My back is so happy. I have the headers framed for the big doors and finished framing in the small door. And as you can see starting moving in some equipment. I still need to do some more grading inside. With any luck I will get the rest of the...

Here is an update on the barn progress. The roof and awning are ready for metal. This is how I connected the awning to the post. 3/4 bolt with the bracer board underneath on each post. Moved the electrical panel. The little wall with the blue tarp is now gone. At some point I plan to get more...

Still plugging along, here are some photo's from last night. I have to work Friday thru Sunday so not much will happen over the weekend. Just a little framing left and it will be metal time.

Thanks everyone for your kind comments. I do have a great view and we sometimes forget it, so thanks for reminding me.:) Here are the pictures I took last night on our progress.

A few random pictures.

Just an update; I have the trusses up and am nailing up the perlins (spelling ?) over the next couple days. Here is a picture of the trusses ready to raise. Note the pre drilled holes for bolting. Much easier to drill flat on the ground. Note the stringer board which becomes the first perlin...

So it's finally cooled down enough that I can start building my new barn. This will be a simple pole barn 45' X 72' with a 12' X 72' awning. (closed in) Height from floor to bottom of the trusses will be about 12' in the main barn area. I tore down an old woodshed so I could utilize the...

Wow, that is a lot of rocks. Good for drainage and holding soil in place, not so good on equipment. Here is a picture taken this last March when I was fixing my leach line. Not a rock to be found, I was 7' deep. Nice to see you are making progress though, hope it stays dry so you can start...

I do hope this time the forecast is correct. I have not had a really good snow season since 2010. Last year really sucked.:mad: So I pray for snow every winter. One where you can't see weeds sticking up in the snow.:)

I don't think so. There have been a few thread's just like this one. There are several things to consider and only you can answer them. I was in a similar position as you last year. I had no equipment at all. I now have everything I need. (except rake and seeder) and am very happy with my...

Sorry for not clearing up for you what a haybine is. It's about the same thing as a swather, it has a cutter bar and reel for cutting "hay" and mine puts the cut hay in a windrow for baling. Here's a couple pictures of it working.

Ok, I tested the ports and here is how they all work. Both of the left sides you can go up/down fast or slow using the lever. Both right sides you can control going up with the lever, but no control of going down. It just drops. Here are a few pictures; as you can see the haybine has a single...

Thank you all for responding. Sorry I do not have a picture of the back of my tractor. I do have a single acting cylinder. (one hose) I think what I need to try is hooking the line from the haybine to the dealer added hydraulic. (left side) That is the only thing I did different. I have always...

My question is this; The Stock hydraulic set up on my tractor lifts and lowers my haybine just fine slow or fast just move the lever and it works. The 2nd hydraulic I had added at the dealer lifts just fine but there is no control of the lowering of the haybine. It just drops like a ton of...

I have a 66 Hp tractor and pull a disc similar to what you are looking at. (mine is land pride) Like the other posters have said it will work fine. I too could go much faster but I just cruise at a nice speed and let the disc work.

Ya right, I'm the most computer retarded person on the web. :D I would assume any Stihl dealer would have them. That's where I bought a new one just a couple years ago when I bought a new saw. It was like 30-40 bucks and its so easy to use. The one on the left is the old one. Still works but...

I have a question for all of you. First, see this picture and the colors. So the question is, should I stay with the colors I currently have? Keep in mind the one in the foreground is gone and the site of the new one. Just not sure if I put up a red barn how it would look next to all the tan...

I love seeing these pictures of old/new and restored barns. It's not quit right to even put a picture of my barn in this group. Heck our dirt is not as old as some of the barns here. :laughing: So the story with the picture is; the old shed on the left is being torn down, the little one on the...

My wife does not like the cold either. This is more her style, so we'll throw this mountain in too and call it a deal.:) Man they are moving quick on your home----framing before ya know it. Like the rolls in the background of the middle picture.

I searched for the perfect mountain for you. It has a great view. A little cold in the winter.:laughing:

This area is one of my favorite places to ride my sled. Looking out my back door, spring shower.

Here is a picture of where I stored my wood up until a couple weeks ago. It was a pig pen that I turned into wood storage. I have taken this shed down and am planning to build a 45x72 barn starting in September. It will have an awning on the east side 14x72. That should give me enough room to...

Ya, I forgot that one. I have a sixteen foot car hauler but it's not rated high enough for my tractor with the loader on. CDennyrun, Here's the reason I got into this. One, I had the land, but mainly and I'll try to be brief. I have a very good high paying job, but at the end of the day there...

I started doing my own hay this year. I had no equipment. This is where I'm at now; RX6620PS/cab with land pride scrapper and disc harrow as a package deal. (all new) $40,500 New Holland 316 bailer (used) $4000. Replaced the twine knives before season, no problems worked great. New Holland 9'...

Welcome from Utah. :welcome:

Having used mine now for digging up my leach line (with the FEL), cutting, baling hay and general work around the place I am very happy with it and still look for things to do just so I can operate it. When I started looking, it was for a Mahindra, then New Holland. Then I came across the...

As luck would have it, I was just offered the right to take care of the property right in front of my place. It's 6 acres and planted in alfalfa. Terms are; I keep the field looking good, I keep all the hay at no cost to me. They are an older couple that for the most part are not even home...

I would think there are two reasons for your results; 1. It's a well built tractor 2. You have taken good care of it. Congrats, I hope we all have the same kind of results. The obligatory picture.

Welcome from Utah, USA you will find many friends here.:) Remember pictures are almost a must.

Being one who's intent was to buy a non cab model, I am very happy my wife insisted i get the cab. With all other things being equal (give or take) I would get a cab model. I only wish I had the money to have both.:) I will add, I have not had one problem to date with my Kioti. Here's the token...

I am up to 66 hours. The only complaint is finding something that needs to be done so I can get more seat time.:D It needed a "regen" at 30 hours, no problem other than waiting for 10 minutes or so. I have done the 50 hour service with no problems. So far I am very happy with my choice.:)

This past week my wife and I were tearing down an old pigpen, making way for a new barn. This is what it looked like. This is what it is now. Not going to build until the first of October. It's just to darn hot now. Needed some tractor pictures, right.

Build the ground level up such that it funnels the water to one spot. (does not take that much) Then put a sump in with a float activated pump, then pump the water to the gutter. Maybe the neighbor would help with the cost since it is their runoff causing the problem. I had a similar problem but...

We have been busy with some other projects, just planted today.:) So for my family corn is a long ways out.:(

Nice. Where you are at is where I hope to be. Going to take a few years though. My wife had no idea that getting a tractor was going to take us down the road were on. I did but didn't want to tell her. It's all good, she likes cows.

It's a 66 hp tractor. I think it has 57 hp at the PTO. (not sure) It easily handles the 9' haybine. No teding here, it's dry as a bone most of the time. I cut that hay Tuesday night and baled it Thursday night, should have done it Thursday morning. I have a small slope on part of my property...

Hi Ken, It was about 4.5 acres and the first cut this season. We had a wet spring. Very unusual for Utah. It was waist high, 85% alfalfa, 14% grass hay and 1% weeds. Just kidding about the weeds. The guy said he normally gets about 150 bales so he was very happy with 250. See how deep and wide...

Moss, I would suggest the Devil's Backbone, Highway 12 in Utah. Next time you are in the area. Anyone wanting to do the Bear Tooth pass, make sure you have some warm gear just in case. This was my 07 Electra Glide Classic.

I did spend about 3 hours baling 250 bales.

PhPaul, I'm with ya all the way on a cab. My wife insisted I get a cab, so to avoid an argument I got the cab. Never looked back.

I have the 2015 RX6620PS the owners manual says change the tran/hyd. filter after 50 hours. At 200 hours then fluid and filter. So I loosen the filter and fluid starts coming out, no problem I think its just what's in the filter and lines. Well it just keeps coming out. So the question is; how...

Hi Dave, I just come across this thread and find it very interesting. I have an older NH 488 haybine, it works good but more costly repairs are certain to come. I will be looking into a drum mower within a few years. Here is a picture of a field I cut last night. It was very thick, but I cut 5...

Was able to finish cutting this field that was to wet the other night. It was sure thick and deep.

Tried to cut last night, started raining on the first pass and just wouldn't stop. Weather says it will be 90+ degrees today so maybe I can get it cut tonight. Pictures are the first pass.

Welcome, you have made a great choice in tractors. Many here will be able to solve any problem you are having.:welcome: Remember pictures are always a good thing.

Not sure about your noise but I have a 488 model, and it works great. I did replace all the guards and lots of cutter teeth as well as changing out the gear oil when I bought it.

Looks good Dave. All your work has paid off. Soon maybe you'll be doing this.

Ron i have a Land Pride rear blade. Very happy with it.

I have the RX6620 powershuttle. It's like the slightly smaller brother of the RX7320. I have been very happy with it. I would suggest loading the tires before using the FEL much. I dug up my leach line with the FEL (don't have a back hoe) in about 2.5 hours. The deep end was about 7' deep, the...

With that many bales I would agree Matt, you needed mechanical help. Please post a picture of it in action. Powerscol; Not sure of the acre feet, but I know I need 4 shares per acre. I will be using my own house well and a booster pump to run everything. This is all future stuff. I have a barn...

You guys are really tempting me to try taking off my loader. I've been afraid to. I'm sure it will come off easy, I was just worried I would never get it back on. When I am running my haybine or baler it would sure be nice to have it off. I keep the tractor in a garage with a very flat concrete...

I own a land pride disc and scrapper, bought both of them with the tractor. Could not be happier. I do wish the salesman would have told me I had a choice of color. I got the tan but would have preferred the orange.

You are right. It is a great feeling. My field has been poorly taken care of for many years. Now that I can take care of it, it will be producing much better than it ever has and look a lot better too. It does take a lot of time and money. I would like to get set up with water rights and...

It does dry fast, in fact I baled a little to late. It sucks when my income paying job interferes with my hobbies. :mad: I should have been baling Friday morning but I have to work Fri, Sat and Sunday day shift. (12 hour days) So I baled Friday night. Like I have said in other post I'm new to...

It is a New Holland 488 haybine, but I do refer to it as a swather a lot. Here it is in action.

Etex, sorry to hear about the accident, glad to hear you'll be OK. I cut 5 acres with my new to me 9' pull behind a few days ago, worked great. I did replace all the guards and every knife that was worn at all, along with changing the gear oil. I have never seen gear oil that looked as bad as...

Thanks foreman. I like the whole growing my own thing and all, but this picture is why I love Utah.

Now I know why my wife inspects what I'm wearing before she lets me out to play. I guess green doesn't match orange?

In Utah we had one of the worst winters on record for annual snow fall. My alfalfa field was dry as flour a foot down, so I decided not to over seed with oat hay. Since then it has done nothing but rain. I could have tripled my hay production! Now I am just looking for a few dry days so I can...

Gonna attempt to add some pictures.I do not have any pictures of the swather yet, it's under a tarp, but here it is. The building next to the swather is coming down and that's where the new barn will be built later this year.

I ride as often as time permits. I have a 2010 Harley Davidson Ultra Classic Limited. Been all the over the western US and Canada. Looking forward to Maine, Key West and Alaska. They may have to wait until I retire. The picture is a high mountain pass in Utah a few years ago taken on June 29...

It seems most of you have been getting the water you need. (in some cases more than you need) here in Utah it has also been very wet. This is not the norm for this area. My own field is looking better than it ever has. I now have all the equipment I need to take care of my own place so I'm...

I'm looking to buy a bailer. I have not seen (only picture) this bailer in person yet but the seller claims its in great shape and has been taken care of well. Is 4000 bucks a reasonable price for a 316 New Holland? The picture does look good like it has been stored indoors. Thanks in advance...

I like to keep all my stuff covered. For now my Kioti sleeps in this garage. I am planning to build a 42' X 72' foot barn. I hope it happens this year but not sure.

Thanks 95RAM, I first looked at the tractor you have, but my future plans involve more acres so I opted for a little more HP. I am sure we will both be happy for many years to come.

I have a new RX6620, you have more than twice the hours on yours than I do.:laughing:

In the garage with everything else that will fit in there.

It's been cold here in Utah. The last few days has been in the teens and low 20s for highs. At the moment it is 34 degrees, a regular heat wave. As you can see from my avatar, I am hoping for more snow. (none in the forcast, :thumbdown:)

I just recently bought a new Kioti RX6620ps cab model with FEL. I do not have it yet, but am very excited to get it.:) Maybe a week or two it should be here. I will be using it to grow hay and work around our 6 acre lot.
