From what I've been able to find I can spray 2,4-D and kill the offending weeds. HOW to spray is my question. I have a spot sprayer...but no spray bar. I can build one (seen several videos from people that have done it). The bottle says something like 2 quarts per acre....how on earth do you...

Started baling hay last fall with a third cutting (time frame) and had baler issues and well, got some experience. Baled 675 first cutting bales off about 8 acres..used a 78" flail which worked fine for third cutting but not for first - too tall, tractor tires left too much mashed down for the...

I need a hay tedder but don't have $2500 plus to buy a used one. I'm pretty handy, can weld, so I'm thinking maybe I should build one. Anyone got plans, tried this, etc? Anyone use a tedder - there are several styles, what works well or is simple in design?

SO did my first haying for the third cutting. Learning curve is certainly there. Today bought a hay wagon, a tedder is the next goal by may. The horses are eating my hay!! Sometimes with enthusiasm, sometimes not so much. Had it analyzed - it came in dead center on all the nutritional...

So got tired messing with crap tin mowers/wanna be tractors. Picked up a 2146 last week - impressive machine. 630 hours, one owner, $500. New battery, coil, tires, belts new this year (cub belts), always dealer serviced. got me to thinking about a tiller...instead of my walk behind. Well, a...

Same price...the 128 includes deck, snow blade, has ag tires and wheel weights, while the 2165 just the mower deck. The 2165 is newer of course, more HP, easier to get parts and hydro. The old stuff is just build better, for longer life I"m thinkin'. I mow maybe an acre with it, pull a small...

Would prefer to chat on the phone... first baler, first time baling..used but told it worked fine. Seems in excellent mechanincal condition. I ran it through a cycle manually the best I could - all seemed good. Hit the field..noticed the feed tines loaded up and stopped moving..backed up and...

Got a deal, um, steal I mean, on a 3 point broadcast spreader ($35!!) And 200lb of 16-6-16 tractor supply pasture fertilizer ($20). I have about 10 acres I'll be haying later this week. It has some areas that I plan to plow (disk heavily) and replant. "hayseed"...i'm in western PA so cool...

Been talking to the wife for years that we shold do haying..she finally agreed..after I mowed the pastures in mid July of course... SO, looking at 10 acres or so of 'third cutting' - only advice I've been given is 'it takes longer to dry in the fall than summer'... So, being in western PA...

So..have a kioti CK3510hst (30 pto hp, 4300lb), bought an old new holland 276 baler, a massey ferguson 26 3 pt rake and have 10-12 acres of pasture to cut. Gonna start wtih third cutting in a few weeks but have a stand of second to try my skills at. We'll see how this goes. The rake is...

I think it's time I get a pressure washer. I'm confused on all that is available. I see 1500 to 4000 psi, elec, gas, soap chambers, heating... Sure, the top of the line would do it all, but I'm not wealthy enough for that. I'm not wanting to maintain yet another gas engine...so I want...

Gonna sell my Bush Hog rotary mower and land pride finish mower and get a flail. I mow 20 acres of pasture monthly too keep the weeds down, grass down. No sticks or brush. I mow 3-4 acres weekly finish mower type application. it's not 'the front lawn' so I don't need perfection. but that adds...

So it's cutting time again, I mow 20 acres of horse pasture. Got a used bush hog 256 last year (med duty 6' from the late 80s). It needs blades... so I go looking and I see three choices...not sure which is best for MOST of what i mow... There is a 7556BH 'high lift grass blade', 4" wide...

My Hydraulic fluid got low (not a lot..still on the dipstick) and the bucket tilt cylinders got wonky, so I filled it and it's 95% good...the bucket tilt seem a tad off though, like they need bled. I've put the bucket up, and down, and worked it all around (not quite the hokey pokey though)...

to implements... Picked up a land pride finish mower (FD2560) today. Not too long ago I got a mahindra back blade. And disks...a brush hog...post hole auger... I'm sorta looking for a drag, plow, york rake... I got forks, managed to far to avoid a hay spike and grapple. While i like the...

Looking for a 60 or 72" 3pt finish mower and found a gravely fp-160-rd for sale, model 895420 serial 000106 Googling comes with just about nothing... a locke manual not sure it's for a finish mower but it's an rp160rd. Being serial 106 maybe they didn't make many of these. Anyone got ANY info...

At times I need a trailer to haul stuff around the farm. The lawn tractor has a small trailer that seems a bit stupid to attach to the kioti tractor..i think the bucket holds more than the little trailer. So what are my options? What have you done/used and what works/doesn't work well?

I've seen fluid film but got LPS3 - same look and feel to it - like gojo. How would I go about spraying it? Put it in a spray bottle..got about 10 pumps and that was it for the bottle. I have auto spray guns...figure no on that. I have 'yard sprayers', the 1 and 2 gallon pump up general...

Picked up a 7hp rear tine, dual rotation, sears tiller. Used 3 times..about 6 years old. has the typical frozen/rusted shaft for gear selector. Starts on the first pull, looks new. Seems it's about a 3 hour project to tear down to pull the shaft out (via a hammer...) and sand it/lube it and...

Found out my kioti has a 75 amp alternator...got me to thinking maybe it would be handy to add an inverter to get 120 vAC anyplace the tractor can go. Seems easier than lugging a genset around in the carryall (my current solution). My 1700w genset has run saws, drills, elec chainsaw, hedge...

I have been cutting grass since I was 8..nearly 50 years now. Currently mowing 2 acres residential with a toro timesaver zero turn. I love it. However, my girlfriend has a 25 acre horse farm and she's got 3 to 3.5 acres to mow there..some of it sloping and the zero turn doesn't do too well...

My old house had a crockery type septic tank. The previous owner about 30 years ago had the leech bed replaced and they used ABS pipe. They removed the crockery tile and shoved the 4" abs into the septic tank outlet, no gasket or anything. Decades later I get run off from the area of the tank...

Delavan Ag Pumps Hydraulic Cylinder 2 X 8 PML28-112ASAE I believe the size/price are good... I have rear remotes - so need the connectors and lines. Anything else needed? this one is double the price..similar size/specs. endd are 3/4 not 1" which is probably better, but I'm sure I can...

Plan to make a snow blade setup for my loader and picked up for a song, an older used meyer snow plow off a truck - all of it, frame, lights, hyd pump, cylinders, etc. Basic plan is to remove the truck mount, cut it up and put the necessary parts on a QA bracket, easy peasy. However, I hadn't...

Got a new tractor last month, daylight is long this time of year so I've not gotten around to installing the ROPS lighting I'll need for fall/winter. First tractor with a loader - headlights are damned near useless unless you put the bucket way low (in the dark in a pasture? no thanks) or way...

I did some googling and can't find crap. I have a 35hp tractor and want to plow (a garden/field of corn, etc). I figure a double bottom, maybe a triple would be feasible. What I have found is plows come in different 'degrees' - 10", 12", 14", etc - it's the angle of attack from what I"ve...

We're considering doing about 10-12 acres of hay. Our farrier has a McCormick Interntional (IH) 47 baler. Googling shows our tractor can run it (30pto hp). He used it till 2 years ago, broke a needle point, replaced it, replaced something else...had to hay so just bought another baler, this...

the horse pasture (about 12 acres) has ditches in it - been there 20 plus years before we got the place. No clue why they are there. Now that i'm brush hogging I want them gone. How best to do that? All are dry. All but one are maybe 10-12" deep, more like a long V plowed across the field. I...

Got a new GF after my divorce and she's got a 25 acre horse farm adn no tractor..always hired out the work. I said that's dumb, picked up a 74 Kubota L175 and started adding implements. I can sell it and pay off my car...so with all teh special deals on financing and such (and 20 acres of...
