    Mowing Hay with Brushhog...with pics

    I have one pasture (~13 acres) that we pay a farmer down the road to cut, bale (small squares), and stack in a 3-sided shed at the end of that field. That has run us about $2-3 per square bale over the years, but my only labor is writing a check. I also have another field that has about 8-10...

    Maybe not if she takes 50% of everything with her.

    New Purchase

    When we bought 7 acres for horses, that was our plan also. We've since bought adjoining land and are up to 55 acres. Our 37hp TYM has worked well, so there's no way we could've gotten by with less. Since then, we added a zero turn for mowing (mostly flat). It saves sooooo much time, and my...

    New Purchase

    100% agree. I had a mid mount mower on a small Kubota year ago. Never again. You never want to bother taking it on or off, then it gets in the way of actual tractor work. I have a 7' finish mower with my current tractor, but I rarely use it. We got a zero-turn which is faster than the finish...

That helped for almost 2 weeks, then it wouldn't start again. Assuming there might be an electrical drain while the machine is...

    Cat 259B3 hydraulics and electrical issue - related?

    I recently bought a use Cat 259B3 with about 3100 hours. It ran perfectly for a while, then I come out one day and it won't start. It just clicked when I tried to start it, so I jumped it and it ran fine for a while. Battery is dated May 2021. Then the loader arms started getting jerky. Instead...

    Rear Finish Mower  Parts for LS 84 finish mower

    I have an 84 LS finish mower (model # LFMP84), and I can稚 seem to find parts for it online. The main thing I need for now is a blade, but it seems to be an uncommon size. Suggestions? I do have a local (45-60 min away) dealer, but was already there yesterday and didn稚 want to make that trip...
