I have a New Holland TC30 tractor and I recently purchase a Rhino 6ft finish mower. The Rhino mower is built with some heavy gauge steel. When I used the mower for the first time I found when going up a hill the front end of the tractor would sometimes raise the front wheels off the ground...

I planted my first crop of corn and I am getting my first ears of corn. I noticed what maybe some worms. I have attached a few photos of the corn with what I think maybe some kind of bug or parasite.

Is there anything to control weeds on a watermelon patch? My watermelon is coming up very good and is starting to get their yellow blossoms. Some areas of the watermelon patch have a lot of weeds. At this point is there anything to use to control the weeds or is it a hopeless cause? Thanks As...

I had purchased seed from Main Street Seed & Supply Co. I planted corn, peas, okra, eggplant, squash, cantaloupe, and watermelon. The peas, okra, eggplant, and squash did not germinate and did not get the first plant. The corn came up sporadic at best; I would venture I had less then 50%...

I am looking to purchase a planter. I have been looking at the Covington, Cole, and the Yetter Flex 71 single row planters. I think I have narrowed it down to the Covington and the Yetter Flex 71 single row planters. I think I am leaning towards the Covington planter. I would be using the...

Farmwithjunk, I went to the Lincoln Agricultural Products web site to see what see plates were available for the Flex 71 planter. I did not see plates for watermelon, orka, eggplant, lima beans, etc. Can you plant these seeds with the Flex 71? Are there plants available for these seeds? Thank...

I have been looking at the Yetter Flex 71 one-row planter. It appears that you are better off buying your own 4-inch toolbar for your three-point hitch separately. If you buy their hitch assembly plus the tool bar from Yetter you are going to be well over $400. I believe you can purchase the...

I did a search on the forum to find how to install the plastic PTO shield on my KingKutter tiller. I did not find anything that was on point. I only have to reinstall the end of the PTO shield that attaches to the implement end. KingKutter sent me a replacement PTO shield. Eurocardan makes the...

Can someone give me a price check on a 5 and 6 foot finish mower. My local dealer gave me a price of $2,100 on the 5 foot and he said it would be roughly another $100 for the 6 foot finish mower. The prices struck me as being a little high. I can buy a 6 foot Woods RD 72 Hertage model for...

I was thinking about making a dolly for my five-foot tiller. I was thinking about using castor wheels on the dolly so I could roll the tiller out of the way when not being used. I would think it would be easier to line it up with the three-point hitch when you are putting it back on the tractor...

Does anyone own 72 inch rear discharge made by Sitrex. I have never heard of Sitrex until today. I was wondering how good their products are? One of our local dealers carry the Sitrex lines along with Rhino and New Holland. I purchased a NH TC30 last fall from this dealer and gave me a good...

I purchased a KingKutter Tiller about a month ago. Like the tiller, it does a great job. The last time I used the tiller the plastic shield on the PTO shaft separated. I sent a letter and photos to KingKutter for a warranty claim. Does anyone have any ideas why the plastic shield would separate...

How do the Mahindra’s, Farmtrac's, Branson's and the Kioti’s stack up against the Kubota’s and the John Deere’s for the smaller compact tractors (i.e. 30HP Range)? It appears the the manufacturers other than John Deere and Kubota are a little less money, but are they as good as the two leading...
