I am just a small hobby guy who makes some orchardgrass/bluegrass/fescue square bales on the side. For the last several years I have just been fertilizing with 19-19-19 and had been putting off getting a soil sample taken. I finally did a sample this fall and got it back and now I need some...

I am looking for suggestions anyone may have to help make my New Holland 474 haybine cut better. The main problem I have is that we have wiry thin grass that likes to fall over and mat up. I know this is not a good combination for haybines but I am wondering if I am missing something. I have...

Quick question....I am replacing all of the guards on my New Holland 474 Haybine. I bought a complete cutterbar rebuild kit from Webb's which I have done business with before. Is it okay for the end guards to have the tab of metal on them? The ones I received are the same part number for the...

The wobble box on my New Holland 474 haybine is leaking and I have to put gear oil in it before every use. It appears it is coming out of the horizontal shaft that the flywheel is attached to. Has anyone ever put a new seal in this area? It looks do-able but I don't want to get in over my head...

I have been looking for a cultipacker on Craigslist for a couple years now and have not had any luck. Used ones seem to be rare or prices extraordinarily high. This one popped up for sale today and I was wondering if it was a decent one and if it was worth the $475 they want for it. Normally I...

I am looking for ideas on how to mark where I have sprayed herbicide with my 4-wheeler. I spray a total of about 12 acres and I have a 26 gallon boomless sprayer from Northern Tool. I really like this sprayer. I have had it for a few years and it works wonderfully. It is really nice not having...

I have a #40 chain that I am assembling and this is the masterlink I received. I am wondering the proper way to bend that little wire? I don't want to have problems in the future. I have never seen this type. Thanks!

Early this spring I fertilized my 10 acre Orchardgrass field and we have just taken 1st cutting. I have read before that grass hay responds well to Nitrogen-only fertilizer after 1st cutting and can really improve yields for 2nd cutting. I have never used a single nutrient fertilizer before. I...

I have a New Holland 474 Haybine that I use to cut hay every year and it is in great shape. I am in the process of trying to replace the reel drive chain because it no longer has anymore adjustment due to being stretched. While I am doing this I was going to replace the white plastic idler (part...

I'm looking for recommendations on how to shore up this hand-stacked rock firepit. Right now it is just rocks stacked with no mortar or anything. Inevitability people rest their feet on it and the rocks fall off. I would like to do something without un-stacking the firepit. I was thinking about...

I am replacing the tires on my New Holland Super 69 and I noticed on the left side (plunger side) the spindle has an odd pivoting design. The right side is not like this. I actually thought the wheel bearings were shot when I went to pull the rim off because of the amount of play. It looks like...

Here in about a week I am going to be renting a Haybuster 107C seed drill from my local co-op to seed a hay field with orchardgrass. The orchardgrass currently in the field is getting thin so we sprayed Pasture Guard last fall and am going to overseed it now. I have never used a seed drill so I...

Does anybody have any idea what this implement is? I inherited it from my grandfather who passed away 10 years ago. I vaguely remember him saying he used it to run over fields when he overseeded them but I could be wrong on that. I never actually saw him use it. Any idea on who made it and...

We are going to start making hay on our property that we currently have been renting out. I was in need of a haybine and put a "wanted" ad up on Craigslist. I went and looked at a couple but they were either wore out, no rubber on the rolls, etc. Some guy contacted me about one he had and said...
