Hi, I need to build a small barn for goats and for hay storage. I'm thinking about a dirt-floor pole barn, 20 x 40, with a hayloft. My concerns are mostly about the weight of the hay and the snow load - I can get a couple of feet at a time here. I'd like to be able to store 100 bales of hay at...

Hi, I found these while cleaning out the shed at the end of the barn to make room for dairy goats arriving this spring (and I'll have to build them a better barn this summer, project time...) Anybody have any idea what these are? Thanks, Daniel

Hi, I need to get a spreader for liming a couple of acres. I see two designs, the cone shaped ones like Agrex and the box shaped ones like groundbuster. Anybody have an experienced opinion on advantages/disadvantages of these two types? I'd also like to use it for spreading fertilizer and...

Hi, I've been offered the option to purchase a Norse 2500 winch. Any idea when these were made, and what a ballpark reasonable price would be? It's a little worn but appears to have been well-maintained. Google turned up surprisingly little info for me. Thanks for any help.

Was wondering about this - when I'm cutting something up, I have a habit of swinging the saw away from the work with my left hand if I need to use my right hand to pull something out of the way, reposition what I'm cutting, whatever. When I do that I pop the chain brake on with the back of my...

I was looking at a web page that shows you how hydraulics work, and their simple logsplitter diagram got me wondering: once the ram is extended all the way, what does the pump do? Does it stop, does it keep exerting the same pressure on the cylinder, or does something inside the cylinder let...

Simple question - why would I ever want to take my tractor out of 4WD? It's never going to go anywhere paved.

OK, how many people have named their tractors, and what did you name it? I'm thinking about naming mine George, after my grandfather.

Hi Everyone, I have a 45 hp Kubota, and I'm thinking ahead to next winter. I have about 400 feet of gravel driveway to keep clear. Here in SE Vermont we can get 3 inches or 3 feet in any given storm. The worst I've seen here was this February, when we had 5 feet of heavy wet snow/sleet...

Hello, Thanks for this useful website! Just got my first tractor, a Kubota L4044 with FEL and a 6' Bush Hog. I have a couple of acres of scraggly, rocky, hilly fields to mow, lots of storm damage around the edge of the woods to clean up every year, and so on. Having lots of fun so far...

Hi, New member here, so have mercy on me. I have a couple of acres to mow with my new toy, an L4400 with a 6' bush hog. Slopes from 10 to 30 degrees. The book says I should back up these slopes, because if I go up frontways I might end up with the front of the tractor coming up over my head...
