I've got a small field, about two acres. I've been bailing for a couple of years to get the 300 square bales of hay I need for the horses. The first two years the hay was pretty good but last year there was a large amount of weeds and the grass was not as thick. I want to get better hay but...

Just got my new 3039 last week and am overall well pleased. There's a long story to how I ended up with it and I'll update with pics later, but now I have a question. Its an Ehydro with the load match and speed match. The other day I had it in high and was going down a paved road at full...

I just bought a pretty new drum mower, a Massey # 3 baler, and an old Massey rake to bale the couple of acres of hay I ahve for the soon to be horses. I baled 15 bales the other day and everything did ok after a little tweeking. My question is can I convert the hale baler to a PTO driven. It has...

My dogs have peed two shrubs to death. Before I replace the shrubs I want to discourage their habit. I was thinking some wire and a battery. Anybody got any less painful ideas?

was gonna wait till spring to start the barn but my brother put me in touch with an Amish crew that was available so we went ahead. The barn was supposed to be a 24x36 with a 10' lean to on one side and a 6 foot on the other. After they set the perimeter poles I realized that the small lean too...

The house is on city water but I have an old hand dug well near the back of my property I would like to use for the barn and the horses. I will be building the barn in a couple of months and getting the horses this summer. I would like to have a system to water the horses and provide enough...

Went to the dealer to look at Gators and ended up trading my 2008 2520 for a new 2720. it was the last one he had and wanted to make room for the new models. He gave me such a good deal I couldn't pass it up. Couple of observations: They improved the scv lever, its a lot tighter, they seemed to...

Found a good deal on a John Deere No. 9W sickle mower. The problem is I don't know if I can make it fit my 2520. It has two bars 21" long that are supposed to be bolted to the lift arm with a bracket. With the curve of my lift arms it won't fit. Is this bar necessary? Can I do a simple mod to...

After four years of tough work, I have noticed there is alot of play in the bucket of my 200CX loader. It looks like all the dirt work has worn the holes at the bottom of the bucket where you put the pins in. Does anyone have any ideas of how I can tighten up the bucket a little. Thanks!

I'm in the early stages of planning a pole barn build for next summer. I have a couple of questions. When ordering 6X6 posts, do I need to order extra to frame out for the doors or is there another way? Would it be ok to build in stages or am I better off waiting to have enough money for all...

My five year old daughter and I are on our second attempt at raising chickens, the first ones got eaten by a coon. We built a good chicken house and have gotten the 7 birds to 4 months. A couple of questions we've come up with. How do you guys keep them from wasting the food, I bought a...

I planted two gardens both about 70x100 each. I had the soil tested and it came back good just had to add 3lbs N per 1000 sqft. The problem is everything starts great and when it gets close to harvest it rots or busts. The only thing that does good is the zuchini and squash...

I have a 16 foot tandem axel trailor(7000lbs). I have to take my 2520 to the shop for some work tomorrow. I've searched and can't find any specific advice on how to strap the tractor down safely. I bought three 10,000 pound straps (3300 working). I also have a 5000 pound strap. My problem is...

I posted a week or so ago asking about used tractors. I have decided that with the 0% financing I could afford a new one. Both of these tractors are gear drive and both have about the same HP. I will be mostly brush hoggin, mowin and moving dirt etc. while I'm building my house. Eventually...

I've just bought 16 acres and going to need to clear some of it. I've been looking at tractors in the 25-30 HP range 4X4. I can't afford a new one so I've been loking at used ones. It's so confusing trying to pick out the right tractor. I seen this place in SC that sells roconditioned...
