    Drag harrow for overseeding

    Hi, I've got around 8 acres of horse pasture/hay field that I want to overseed just to get some of the patchy areas filled in with something other than weeds and just generally keep the stand in good condition. I have a 35hp Mahindra 3535 tractor. Was planning on getting a drag harrow and...

    Mystery shear bolt breakage on a NH 65 square baler

    This is my first time out with this "new" $500 ancient baler... mostly it worked. I'd tested it before hand by feeding it some loose hay, tripping the knotters, etc. Once I'd gotten the twine tension right everything seemed good. Greased every fitting I could find and oiled the roller chains...

    Successful haying with a compact tractor(and now I need advice)

    So, let me get this out of the way right off the bat: for the amount of hay I'm doing it probably would be cheaper/smarter/better to just pay someone else to do it. I'm not for two reasons, first I can't get anyone to reliably show up. Second, I kind of enjoy this stuff and I just feel like...

    Loader  Hydraulic problem or just normal for cold?

    Having issues with the hydraulics on my 3535... A bit of back story here, bought my tractor in winter of 2013 in WI. I used it to blow snow(among other things) and frequently would be starting it up in very cold weather... down as cold as 0F. It would have to idle for a very long time...

    All season hydraulic oil?

    Hello, I a 3535 that I bought last winter. I use it in the winter with a snowblower to clear my driveway and all last winter it always seemed to take an eternity for the hydraulics to warm up enough that I could pick up the loader. I kept it in an insulated garage and used a block heater and...

    3-Point Hitch  Compatibility with older 3pt implements

    Bought a 3535 mid-winter to replace an aging ferguson to-30. Only ran a snowblower on it then, but even then I noticed this issue. With the factory top link shortened as far as it would go and the 3pt raised all the way up in the transport position, the back of the snowblower was just barely...

    Well, I bought one

    Brand new 3535 with my old snowblower attached. So far I'm pretty happy with a couple minor issues. #1 seems to take forever for the hydraulics to warm up. Dealer says this is likely due to a combination of it being a new tractor and having air still working it's way out of the system and...

    Gardening for profit(and fun)?

    Thought I'd run this by this forum since I imagine I have the right crowd. I live in west-central WI, a little over an hour from St Paul. I am on a 40 acre property but most of that is split between a wooded area, a field that is rented out, and a horse pasture. Still, there are lots of...

    New(er) CUTs vs older 8n/To-30 tractors

    I know this is a little general but in terms of pushing/pulling power how does a modern compact tractor in the 24-35hp range compare to the old Ford 8n/ Ferguson To- tractors? More specifically I have a TO-30 right now with a loader that I use with a snowblower to remove snow, I also plow/disc...

    I want to modify my snowblower...

    This is the attachment in question... As you can see in the pics it has a simple chute to direct snow left or right, a hand operated lever lets you switch directions from the seat. The problem is I get a lot of blowback hitting me and the tractor. This makes it hard to see backing up...

    Buying Advice  Ford 1920

    A while back I saw this 1920 listed for sale on a dealer site, didn't have a loader which is something I wanted but I called anyway and asked them if there's any way they could find a loader for it. Guy immediately told me they were a John Deere dealer and "couldn't get" a loader for a Ford...
