    Bale unroller recommendations?

    The last thread on bale unrollers is from 2008. Anyone have recent experience that could recommend one, or features to look for? Peirce looks like the cheapest and also looks like the arms may break off. I was unrolling by pushing the bales with the FEL, but rolled over a lamb this spring. I...

    My PTO shaft wobbles just a bit. Dad didn't completely disconnect the rotary mower and ended up backing over half the PTO shaft last summer. I think the PTO output is bent on the tractor, so I'm trying to remove it. It looks like it's held in with a snap ring and a pressed in bearing. Should...
