    pipe fence -how do you make it look right?

    I built some cattle pens. They more or less ran straight and had relatively level runs of pipe. The landscape was fairly level. I am now going to build a catch area that has some noticeable dips to it. In one length of pipe (32'), the ground will drop 3 -4 feet I want the horizontal pipe...

    Cracking front wheels

    I have a Ford 6600 with a Bush Hog Front end loader. I am on my second set of front wheels in about 4 years and am guessing that I will replace these in the next year. The failure is hairline cracks in the wheels themselves. The cracks start as hairline cracks at the lugs and work their way...

    Want to build a drag to level cow patties. Looking for ideas.

    I am looking to build something to drag around the pastures to level and distribute cow patties. I plan on something about 15 feet wide (to pass through gates). I have a 77 HP tractor. I have about 60 feet of 2 3/8's pipe and was considering 4 - 15 foot pieces inter-connected with 3/8 "...

    Prickly pear cactus

    Are these easy to eliminate in a pasture? Can I simply cut them off at ground level with the front end loader? Or do I need to dig down? I played around with a pick to dig them out but.... Thanks

    Adding weight to a Tractor/traction question?

    I have a 2wd Ford 6600 with a front end loader for 6 months now. First tractor for me. I feel that the rear tires spin too easily. For example, sometimes I try to push over a 3" tree and the rear tires will simply dig down and spin. BTW, the soil is somewhat sandy and dry and the tread is...

    simplifying and organizing FEL hydraulic hose?

    I have a basic hydraulic skematic question that I am looking for some guidance. I have a Ford 6600 with a Bush Hog 2425QT loader with a two lever controller. I am confident that the pump pressure and return line are the two hoses that start/return just below the seat and go to the controller. It...

    FEL level bucket gauge

    I have a bush hog 2425QT loader and want to make a device that will quickly tell me that I have the bucket level. The 2425QT is obsolete and the parts pricing for the level gauge is not readily available so I am guessing it may be overpriced. It is a simple rod and tube. The dealer will get...

    Posthole Digger  Post hole digger versus post hole driver?

    Before I decide an alternate approach, I am looking for some advice. I have access to a Rhino pneumatic post driver and can drive 2 7/8" pipe 3-5' into the ground. The soil is sandy with rock (Wise County, TX), so I think the 5' is do-able. I plan to make a pipe and cable (or sucker rod)...

    Newbie with a post hole digger- tractor mounted.

    Any guidance? I will be doing corner posts with 4.5" OD pipe. Is 9" auger OK or should I also invest in a 12"? North Texas sandy soil will be involved?

    I have a Ford 6600 tractor and have never seen the fuel gauge needle. How do I start my diagnosis to figure where the problem is? Thanks
