Thank you guys for all of the help. I really appreciate it. I will be spreading it here soon!

I am just a small hobby guy who makes some orchardgrass/bluegrass/fescue square bales on the side. For the last several years I have just been fertilizing with 19-19-19 and had been putting off getting a soil sample taken. I finally did a sample this fall and got it back and now I need some...

I am looking for suggestions anyone may have to help make my New Holland 474 haybine cut better. The main problem I have is that we have wiry thin grass that likes to fall over and mat up. I know this is not a good combination for haybines but I am wondering if I am missing something. I have...

Quick question....I am replacing all of the guards on my New Holland 474 Haybine. I bought a complete cutterbar rebuild kit from Webb's which I have done business with before. Is it okay for the end guards to have the tab of metal on them? The ones I received are the same part number for the...

I REALLY like my King Kutter trailer mover. I would challenge anyone to find one heavier built. They make 2 models; this is the heavier one. It has clevis style hook-up (stronger) for the lower arms and comes with a chain and adjustable connector to attach to your drawbar to prevent upward...

This is supposed to be the exploded parts view of it. #27 is the oil seal. #25 is a shim and #26 is the retainer cap.

The wobble box on my New Holland 474 haybine is leaking and I have to put gear oil in it before every use. It appears it is coming out of the horizontal shaft that the flywheel is attached to. Has anyone ever put a new seal in this area? It looks do-able but I don't want to get in over my head...

Thanks for all of your help. I picked it up today from the seller for $425. Everything looks pretty good on it and it rolls fine. First order of business will be making a new tongue for it. Besides that everything else is pretty minimal.

The seller sent some additional pictures. It does look to use wood blocks for bearings but they don't look like anything complex. Almost looks like a 4x4.

I have been looking for a cultipacker on Craigslist for a couple years now and have not had any luck. Used ones seem to be rare or prices extraordinarily high. This one popped up for sale today and I was wondering if it was a decent one and if it was worth the $475 they want for it. Normally I...

I am looking for ideas on how to mark where I have sprayed herbicide with my 4-wheeler. I spray a total of about 12 acres and I have a 26 gallon boomless sprayer from Northern Tool. I really like this sprayer. I have had it for a few years and it works wonderfully. It is really nice not having...

I have a #40 chain that I am assembling and this is the masterlink I received. I am wondering the proper way to bend that little wire? I don't want to have problems in the future. I have never seen this type. Thanks!

Early this spring I fertilized my 10 acre Orchardgrass field and we have just taken 1st cutting. I have read before that grass hay responds well to Nitrogen-only fertilizer after 1st cutting and can really improve yields for 2nd cutting. I have never used a single nutrient fertilizer before. I...

I have a New Holland 474 Haybine that I use to cut hay every year and it is in great shape. I am in the process of trying to replace the reel drive chain because it no longer has anymore adjustment due to being stretched. While I am doing this I was going to replace the white plastic idler (part...

I'm looking for recommendations on how to shore up this hand-stacked rock firepit. Right now it is just rocks stacked with no mortar or anything. Inevitability people rest their feet on it and the rocks fall off. I would like to do something without un-stacking the firepit. I was thinking about...

I am replacing the tires on my New Holland Super 69 and I noticed on the left side (plunger side) the spindle has an odd pivoting design. The right side is not like this. I actually thought the wheel bearings were shot when I went to pull the rim off because of the amount of play. It looks like...

Here in about a week I am going to be renting a Haybuster 107C seed drill from my local co-op to seed a hay field with orchardgrass. The orchardgrass currently in the field is getting thin so we sprayed Pasture Guard last fall and am going to overseed it now. I have never used a seed drill so I...

I came up behind this guy the other day. Notice the back piece of angle iron is bending in the middle.

I bought this Harbor Freight Manual Wood Splitter and I love it. Yes, it is not very fast compared to a hydraulic splitter but I only paid a little under $100 for it with a 20% off coupon. Keep in mind this is not something meant for somebody that heats their house with wood or somebody selling...

Does anybody have any idea what this implement is? I inherited it from my grandfather who passed away 10 years ago. I vaguely remember him saying he used it to run over fields when he overseeded them but I could be wrong on that. I never actually saw him use it. Any idea on who made it and...

We are going to start making hay on our property that we currently have been renting out. I was in need of a haybine and put a "wanted" ad up on Craigslist. I went and looked at a couple but they were either wore out, no rubber on the rolls, etc. Some guy contacted me about one he had and said...
