    Offset or Gang Harrow--

    Hey Folks! I just had 60 acres cleared with a bull-dozer and they did a fine job. Now, to clean it up for pasture, to help rid the remains of roots and rocks, I am told the best method is a disc harrow. A fellow will harrow it for 50.00 per acre, but that's only two passes. I have been told...

    How Long Should I Wait For A Landscape Rake?

    I ordered (and paid for) a landscape rake for my 5425 over a month ago and it still has not arrived. I called the salesman and he said he was checking into it. At this point, I'd really rather have the top dollar money I paid for it returned and go down the street and pick one up at quite a...

    Bought a 5425 With Cab

    Yes, folks--I can bite the bullet. I shopped and fretted, compared and contrasted, whined and cajoled but finally got 'er done. So, I got the 5425 MFWD with Cab, 12/12 Pwr rev, dual rears valves and triple mid with joystick--and just about every available option from the "instructor seat" aux...

    Welding Tips

    Anyone have any tips on welding set-ups? Should I get an Arc, Mig or Oxy/gas welding set-up? I plan on fixing up an old farm and don't really have anything in particular I'd be working on. I guess I just want to know which would be the most versatile arrangement. Thanks to all.

    Oil & Fuel  FUEL STORAGE

    I found some 250 gallon plastic (rated for diesel) tanks in heavy duty galvanized cages for 100.00 each. Was thinking of picking-up three: one for Diesel, one for gas, and one for water in case I get thirsty myself. I figured I build a base and gravity feed the fuel once I decide which tractor...

    I Have No Idea What I'm Talking About -- Do YOU?

    I've gotten a real kick out reading the posts on this forum; it's like learning a foreign language! Buying a 100 acre farm -- it's only about 15% cleared with one 8 acre pasture and about 7 acres around the 1920's restored farmhouse. Only about 40 acres is relatively flat, with the remainder...
