That's to bad you don't get to keep the nice road. When they put in the gas wells they built permanent roads to the wells. They said they are the best roads. Well they would be if it never rained. 30 years later they suck. Clay based. Great for temporary but after years of driving on them full...

Never had an interest in snowplowing except my own driveway. I would not consider snowplowing a good investment anymore. Last winter was the first time in I don't know how long we had a somewhat real winter. Non stop snow. Otherwise the number of time I have plowed snow would be in the single...

It is the getting off the tractor that is the worst. I'll be stiff barely able to walk but fine once loosened up. Same at UPS take break in the car then have a hard time getting back out. Can't imagine what it will be like when I'm old. Not to mention this has been a long hot summer. No cabs. So...

The service manager unscrewed the low pressure valve and cleaned. He did say the high pressure comes apart similar and have to be careful how it’s gripped to unscrew it. I’m calling salvage yard today and see what a used one costs. I’m more likely to play with one if I have a known good one on...

It’s only on the tractor because not done spraying. Only used for spraying fertilizing and some tillage

No not running out of time. Still long way to November lol

Gets weedier the longer you wait. Also with the heat and no moisture the grasses are for most part dormant. Cutting it will stimulate it. This particular field was 45 days. It’s always a tough call when weather isn’t cooperating. And yes planning on 3rd hopefully. Obviously fertilizer didn’t do...

Friday went like this. Last minute decision to mow. At field mowing by 7am. 930am uncle takes over, go to barn load hay for customer. Swap implements on tractor head back to field. Start raking. Sit on raking tractor from 1030-2pm. Back to barn and get square baler hooked up. Grab a granola bar...

Over 60 acres with 3 days of baling. The 2nd cutting on our 50 acre piece went a whopping 14 bales/acre. That's with fertilizer. Need moisture. Yesterday we got a total of .25 at 3 different timeframes followed by sun. Hard to say how much actually stayed.

Thank you Jim. I corrected it on the other forum as well. I should have known better.

The block most certainly does. Not sure on the valves because mine are all wore taking out the easy part of my work to begin with. Spent a lot of time on the computer trying to do the leg work myself. Yielded some results but not enough that I was confident. That was reason why I ended up at...

What everybody is focused on is price. Do any of you know what it takes to stock the parts to make one hose? Places like TSC, Farm and Fleet etc, are buying bulk from one place that are turning out massive amounts of simple lengths with only the basic fittings. Of course it will be cheaper...

It is interesting you mention that. Service rep said could put a 4000 PSI relief valve in tensioning block. Question. Is there a adjustable relief valve that you can manually change the PSI on? I'm only familiar with the variable core valve which I have no interest in but an adjustable relief...

2 different plants. Not the same at all. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solanum_carolinense https://www.wildflower.org/plants/result.php?id_plant=CNTE

Recent issues with my 459 baler has brought to light the importance of an important feature lacking on these balers that can forewarn you of an impending issue that would otherwise go unnoticed until most likely complete failure happens. Starting the season I noticed that my baler was not...

Knocked down another field of first. This is our first time doing this field. Received it last fall and brush hogged it. Sprayed most of it this spring for weeds and it got so late we were just going to brush hog it but a friend needs some feed and is taking it. The layout of the field is nice...

This statement is false in my part of the world. Maybe different there but........ Burndown now and disc you might see new growth and spraying again in the fall might be effective. However, taking you statement "Discing in the fall helps bring the dormant seeds up, so the spring application...

It is tough to completely eradicate. Control is more like it. We have some in all our fields. There is no getting away from it. It is a native species so meant to survive. Indians used the seeds for tea/medicine. I haven't tried it yet but is tempting just to do it. Seeds survive in the soil so...

It will be back. Really, destroy a field because you found some horse nettle.

Yes though I’m sure there were and are beef operations that still use them. I would like to use ours but would require refurbishing one of many reasons not used. Most operations have gone to bunks/bags for silage storage.

No. Those are our silos. No longer used. Correct. Harvester silos are metal with their trademark blue. There are a couple in the area here. Bottom unloading which is neat. Sealed top. Never have dealt with them.

There’s a few harvestore around here. Here’s a today view of the silos

Even our stave silo is a concrete chute. Maybe it was also how that particular company put them up. Or it was an option. To young to know. Lots of questions would love to ask my dad now that I'm older.

The build I'm sure dad was not impressed when he got the roll developed. View from the silo. And yes every year carried a 100 ft extension cord for the distributor. Silo was a 20x60

Some of dad's slides of upgrading from a old tile silo to a poured silo. There are not many silo's that are completely poured. Most have a metal chute as I imagine was a cost savings then. I have been up metal chuted silo's and when they rust out snag you endlessly as you climb them. Not an...

Some more from past week at picking away 1st cutting. Finally the last of the first cutting in these fields. Only 50 more acres to go LOL

I'll have to track down some information and see what they cost next time I need them

Can you post the part numbers for those. I'm assuming they are Faster TA12? I've been trying to find them through an OEM and have just been ordering them aftermarket. They are not cheap and sometimes you luck out and OEM has a better price. I've just never been able to track down a tractor of...

I order mine directly from TRC by the case. If you only use a tube or 2 a year then maybe your link is the way to go. Or call TRC and see if you have a local sales rep and buy by the box. My last post on this thread was my latest price paid. I get about 2.5 years out of a case...

Another round of 2nd cutting done. Very poor yield even with fertilizer. Just a crappy year all around. Still picking off first cutting. Customer orders are filled. Sales are down again. Making some baleage with it to feed this winter and get some rounds and squares in the barn to sell. We went...

I hope if you are using TRC that is not where you are buying it. $18/tube is way to much but buy 2 tubes and they ship free.

I order by the case direct from them. Was going to be a sales rep but not my thing. 2 cases would get you free shipping. It is by dollar amount. Look for posts by me elsewhere on here I put in the latest price as of 2 year’s ago I believe. The guy that does some of my hauling uses paragon...

I can't like that one enough. No comparison and no other grease has ever been used on this farm going back to my Grandfather. One grease every use. And unlike the cartridge thread. Still metal pull tab and cardboard

What if not possible. Of course you move over if possible.

That statement makes a lot of sense to me. While I have not been on any thing "new" I know my old Deere tractors whether row crop or utility compared to other brands of same time period are just more comfortable. The controls just are in the right place and no searching. They are just there. My...

10 operating would be my assumption. I grease loader as I feel it needs done. Just like all my implements I guesstimate the hours it’s run. If handling round or square bales. Loader gets done every day otherwise whenever I feel it needs it

Different equipment different needs. A one off nobody can plan for. If I was in construction it would be a different story. Lock and lube yellow gun. How does that equate to hours? My skidsteer I do them every 10 hours. Over kill but if I forget or get busy I'm still good and do them at next...

Nice having all tractors up and running. IH back to yard dog duty moving wagons when all others hooked up or left at fields.

What a week. 50-60 acres done. 1st and and our first field of 2nd cutting. 4 days of baling totaling 170 4x4 round bales, 4 - 4x5 round bales, 1782 small square bales. Started out seasonally nice then went back to heat and humid. 18+ hour days between UPS and hay. Time to catch up on eating and...

I’m glad to see I’m not the only one that went battery back to manual. More control and Less waste. Have 3 guns. 2 Deere and yellow lock and lube. Performance wise. Lock and lube.

Today is July 20th. I started the year at 185 acres that are used for making dry hay. As of this morning we stand at 109 acres of 1st cutting left to cover. Acreage window went like this/ 9 acres, 6 acres, 50 acres(baled in 2 days), and recently 11 acres (mowed and baled at 3 different intervals...

Sounds like you need a more competent person doing the tillage. The best will be plow and fit it properly.

3-4 acres 520 bales

Lots of Timothy and it is late this year. Only thing keeping it decent.

https://ag-wx.com/ https://weathermodels.com/index.php?r=site%2Fstart I forecast my own weather. This year with the way the systems are moving I'm about a half day to a day ahead of what my uncle sees on local news or one of the many sites he looks at. The only site I use for confirmation if...

Knocked down 6 acres in 2 different mowings due to the uncertainty in the weather. Felt like fall mowing the first 3 acres. Windy cloudy drizzly most of the day on Thursday. Mowed it for baling on Friday. Then they firmed up Saturday to being good. Knocked down the rest of the field and tedded...

And there were 5x5 for $35. I'm $34 out of the field for a 4x4 bale and they will be $55 this winter.

Welcome to this site Shawn T.W.

It should for what it takes to make a good clean timothy crop. I still have thoughts of putting in a small field. Know what price I would sell it for and it probably wouldn't move. $7 There is no money in hay because nobody will pay what it is worth. And you have everybody selling there's for...

Didn't do any hay all week. Very unsettled. Mowed a fallow field to get it ready to spray on Thursday. Heavy rain came through..........................except for me. Did get enough that it would have shut down baling and ruined your day. The weather videos I watch say the same thing. Enough...

Last weekend 50 acres of dry hay we baled. This weekend all last minute decisions and uncertainty. Doing a whopping 5 acres.

None. Of course that is why most is still standing. Down to only needing 2 good days to get it dry now but even that's hard to get.

Neighbor baled for me. Had his tractor and baler not been sitting in the barn next to the field might not have gotten so lucky. We would have done squares instead but would have been a long day. I had already contacted are largest customer and they were unavailable and it was Sunday so no Amish...

4x4's and their method of hauling. This customer is one of our best ones. Almost 300 rounds. Yes have a grapple but to slow. Bale spear.

When filling silo as a youngster we were taught to grab the pto shaft of wagon to stop it spinning. We would cross over it. Stand on tongue watching the silage with it spinning between our legs. I still have one of the wagons. To this day I do all those things. Old JD and Papec wagons. Not the...

5.5 hours and 105 round bales gone.

JD baler. Already have pressure gauge plumbed in as JD doesn't come with one and know way to know what is going on otherwise. Video my son made of my baler running properly to help out on another forum

Tensioning system went somewhere. Working on troubleshooting in free time. The easiest fix did not work. Replacing the pressure relief valve. Just narrowed down where to look next. Leaning toward the belt tension cylinder. Ran some tests and waiting on what to do next. Then just need time to...

I like the ones that fold up. My cousins folds back. Seems like a lot of stress when bouncing not to mention the tail swing. So far his is the only one I've seen like that.

50 acres done. Only 120 more for dry plus all the baleage we have yet to do. Round baler is now down indefinitely. Neighbor baled up my rounds with his Krone. 172 4x4 round bales and 1222 small squares. Today is load out for rounds.

Raccoon came up through the battery access door during the winter.

Same here and I'm all small equipment. Depressing watching the ground move under the tires.

That’s awesome. I’m all for fox and coyotes. Everyone thinks I’m nuts because I have calves on pasture but until I have issues…… Hunters keep them in check Major deer issues so more than enough for them to eat and foxes keep the stray cats at bay.

Dozed off. Mowing yesterday wasn’t any better. It’s rough

Finally getting things done................though slowly................and not with issues. Busy week and weekend if no rain.

Bolt rubber to drawbar. Cut an inner tube or such. You might have other issues as well. With my tractor and large windrows the rear wheel can actually catch the windrow and start balling it up. Doesn't happen much but it does.

Starting a custom job here for baleage since no dry hay weather. It is very localized rain this year. Makes it hard to know when and where. Got a few sprinkles at home but he had water running down the road from heavy rain. Just the type of year. Worst part is the day of it is changing whether...

Yesterday's baleage. Mature Rye again several weeks late.

It's a weed field that I haven't decided what I'm doing with it yet. Lots of low growing clover and Johnson grass. Needed to be cut weeks ago to salvage the Johnson grass. Once it dies just falls flat on the ground. Cattle love it though. What I wrap is the fields that always get wrapped. It...

Square baler was ready for a maintenance repair. $338.30 later

I guess I hadn't posted the pictures yet. It was baled the next day and wrapped. The dust isn't because the hay is dry. Just a wet depressing year. Got 13 acres of 185 done up as dry. Have some rye down now for baleage that now is wet from rain.

Bill went from actual to estimating. You see that the price dropped drastically When they had no usage to estimate. I'm surprised they didn't estimate it better. It is easy to see I should have paid more than $10.16 and $45.70. Jan, Feb, March, April 2024 Meter was down. KW 2025 KW...

I liked when ours quit. Free electricity for a few months before they got around to replacing it. Got to the point I wondered how long they would let it go.

I would bet on it. They sent a tech out to confirm meter issue when mine quit.

Have a whopping 6 acres down when we should have 20-30. Look at that ground. Entire time mowing was thinking how nice this was. Then we went to the other farm that is good ground and knocked down 11 acres for baleage and knew why we made the decision we did. There is soft then there is well...

Yes, have one of those too.

Kind of an exaggeration because I probably should have known better but 12 ft to the left is the hayfield I was trimming out. Came back to some multifloral rose I had my sights on.

Working at the shop yesterday because what else is there to do. Another half inch. More today and into Saturday. Looks like we are a go maybe Saturday afternoon for a short but hopefully productive 3 day window.

Anywhere from 25-60% moisture. I try for 50% and just under. Depending on your area. for 1st cutting mow one day bale the next. Crops like oats, rye, sorghum sudan, etc might leave it for a couple days. Heavy clover almost never gets dry enough. That is a tough crop. Fine line between getting it...

Look at that no sun. What a familiar sight. Haven't looked at my rain gauge yet but the weather site says another inch last night for me. Had ducks where I took those couple bales off from. We had a 4 day window that is quickly narrowing to 3. Won't know more until tomorrow and even then rain...

An example of how plugged the radiator and the oil cooler can get. The 4040 is original to the farm. Growing up with it it always ran in a certain temperature range even not doing anything. It was normal, not hot. After I quit farming went to work in a factory, built a shop and had money and...

Now that you have decided to trailer tractor home if it were mine this is what I would do before starting it. I have purchased several used ones at auction and have done the same thing except some of what I would do to the 4230 is based on the fact it has been sitting for years. Remove ALL...

1586 The hole in dash is the lighter for your cigar now it is used to keep cell phone charged

Loaded yes. Duals your thinking the wrong way. Larger foot print less compaction.

Drizzled yesterday. Really glad I didn't mow the field I was planning on. It didn't really dry and made wet heavy muddy bales. But it is off I guess. Rain today later.

I would prefer 60's over 80's. Could do without the rain though. They are opening up a large window for us starting about Thursday-Tuesday. Hoping it holds. GFS still has a couple glitches in that time frame.

Have a collection of 3 stacked there. One punctured a tire while plowing. Wish it wasn't sitting in the grass the way it is. Needs a inner loaded dual tire repair and have not called it in yet. Doesn't do much anymore except for round bale wagon and moving wagons around home. One of the best...

This is the layout of your tractor. I need to move my radio back to where it belongs some day. This is the way I bought it.

That shift pattern is correct. When all you do is look at tractors and study them and people don't put in all the details you look closer at pictures trying to find your answers. Helps that 99% of what I have now and 100% what I grew up with is JD's from the 70's-80's The giveaway was in your...

Was going to do baleage but after finding this on good ground where I wrap guess I’ll do nothing.

Here is the current 10 day outlook

Now that your set on pulling it on the trailer make sure you put transmission in "TOW". From the pictures I believe it is a quad range. There is a tow spot for the range lever, gear lever in neutral. If you don't find the original owners manual, when you get one make sure it is the correct one...

Your not kidding. Our month and half total is 8.31 inches. Lots of corn not planted. Corn that was planted during a dry spell a month ago or more looks like corn that was planted couple weeks ago. All of it is just up, yellow, sitting and waiting for good weather. Going to work on baleage. Can't...

The tractor may never had one. It optional.

Across from my shop. Neighbor finally got is hay custom chopped. We might still be damp.

No issue pulling from front axle.

If we can get it every 40 days we’re doing good

Got the straw picked up yesterday finally. Turned out better quality wise than expected. 1040 bales. Didn't take a single picture and spent the whole time in the mow. Dodged mud holes and standing water to get it picked up.

In what way. Not unusual for us to struggle in June to make hay but when we can get it we expect it every year. I know everybody is behind though this year. Lots of corn not in the ground yet.

Just sitting here waiting. Straw still on the ground and hopefully get some tomorrow. smoke isn't helping either. seems now smoke early summer from Canada and smoke from the west in late summer.

I can break this down with 95% accuracy as to what happened. The facility I work at the beginning and the end for packages. We are small and everything is done manually with human mistakes. The larger facilities are much larger and automated sorting. I recently worked an evening(Local Sort) and...

Unless modified it uses 2 - 6volt battery in series. I would avoid either at all cost and if electric available plug in the block heater and get here good and hot. Put a battery charger on her in case it takes several attempts to get it to start. Only boost from the starter on 12 volts. I would...

Gets delivered

Everything turned out good. Took about 30 bales to get accumulator shined up where I wasn’t stopping every 4 bales to assist them. 865 bales. Yield was much better than expected. 96 bales/acre. It is our best field. No fertilizer. Had I only cut half of it would have seen much higher yield...

The photos are deceiving. Yes there are certain areas that are soft but not as bad as the rye field. This field is for the most part better drained. What you are seeing is dew. Mowing started at 9am and tedded shortly after so it is all residual moisture. I don't perceive any issue baling but...

You don't feed these ones. They feed themselves on the very same bugs you will complain about when they are gone. The bird sh^t on hay can be avoided. Look at covering small areas at a time to keep it off the hay. I will agree with the hay portion. The health hazard??? Don't eat it and don't...

4 day window. 9 acres of hay down and tedded. Straw tedded out. Still wet.

Or enjoy their company and realize what value they have and focus on the starlings that are invasive and kill them. Not native species of birds.

My walk out Added to the collection. This was 2 years ago on a custom job I do every year. Think up to 2 or 3 flats on this job over the years. The shale is usually the culprit

Have a collection of them in the tractor. One was a tire piercer. Wet in spots. No in between. Either really wet or solid. Had no choice this crop has a narrow cut window and it was about a week late

2025 season is here. 14 acres of rye straw down. Not the driest start. It will take 7-10 days for it to be ready or longer if the weather doesn't cooperate. Been 2 years since we have ran this tractor. Lasted about an hour before springing a oil leak from the repairs that were done.

Yes. And if possible try to return in better condition than how I received it

The stories I could tell you……………. Let’s just say many years ago, way before he was as big as he is now another farmer and I talked about it was only a matter of time before he killed someone due to how equipment was kept and ran. It happened.

It would be. Not sure where I posted this before but he just keeps getting bigger and bigger. Several weeks ago he called about running equipment as it is go time on corn and haylage. It didn’t work out but wanted to as he had gotten better and bigger equipment and wanted to try out their newer...

Good luck. I would never consider removing bats. Park else where, cover equipment, live with it. A fire in a barn no matter how contained is BAD idea. I don't know how often I have wiped bat s%$# off tractor seats and to date I am not sick. I don't recommend wiping it off then eating without...

Actually that is a November picture. Point being doesn't matter if there is standing water my cousin will be on the fields

My cousin will be making a muddy mess doing his haylage. Doesn't matter the weather. When time to cut it is time to cut weather be d^%$............ Years ago I ran the merger for him

Same here. It is all those little "tentacles" that wrap around limbs that hold them tight. Those breakdown pretty quickly making pulling out later much easier.

We have grape vines that will grow into the trees. When I bought grandma's place had a bunch we cut at the ground. Pulled out the easy ones by hand and left the rest. They really are not noticeable. Be nice to convince your customers that the more damage can happen to the tree by trying to pull...

Type C. I don't need to deal with inspections. I do need to get it safety checked at some point though. I do push the daylight hours a few times. Mostly taking it to work so I can fuel it up on the way home. Hasn't happened but you would think not having a license plate would be an attention...

I’m figuring on some repairs. We facetimed and he started it, showed me oil pressure after it warmed up, jumped out of cab, pulled oil fill cap, no blowby. Pulled dipstick, too. No blowby. Took it out on the road, drove back roads, drove 55 for a few minutes. Looked at oil pressure again...

Ohio you have both. Our barn is full of barn swallows. We get to sit outside in the summer and enjoy it bug and mosquito free. Some people don't like the mess they make but having no bugs is priceless. https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Tree_Swallow/overview...

Just last week I was fixing fence. They do seem bad this year. I don't remember having an issue with them but this year my arm swelled up and itched for almost a week. The scabs are just healing now. Wife asked what happened. about 10 bites on one arm and unlike mosquitos you don't feel them...

Are they the same shipping company? Same item different shippers different rates and as stated above 2 different distances. Your not comparing apples to apples. Get your products shipping quotes from 2 different dealers in the same state to start an argument.

Use a grease that doesn't separate and it won't make a mess. My guns hang on the walls and set on top of toolbox.

Pipelines open up easy traveling for those that disregard private property. When the NG lines went in on this farm we had issues with snowmobilers and wheelers coming all the way through then travel on the main roads. Years and trees falling have shut those down.

Then why are you stopping. Run them through the mower. buzzards need to eat to. There are way to many.

That's the beauty of your own forecasting. On the left under select cycle you can go back in time and see if the model runs remain consistent hour to hour or bounces around on the timing of rain. If it bounces it will be a crap shoot when the rain comes in. But just like any forecast mother...

That’s where doing your own forecasting pays off. But it’s not easy.

I could not imagine taking the time to prep posts for a fence or put gravel around or…….. guess it comes down to how much fence there is. I want to reiterate if you use quality posts the first time it will be decades and decades before they need replaced. Is it really worth the time and money.

Over the years I have seen cedar mentioned. Not something available here or if it is, it is not widely known. The southern yellow pine is what is stocked here. That's what I assume was used for the fence program. I need to try my hand at felling trees and start making my own locusts posts. Not...

I have hi tensile fence that was part of a government program. Those posts are punched right in to the ground. over 20 years later I'm pulling them out and reusing and fully expect to get another 1 or 2 decades out of them or more. The rest of the fence posts are locust. There are posts that...

One of my customers that has a farm found a horse in their cattle pasture. Figured had to be abandoned there after being unable to find an owner.

No just run your and enjoy it

You should always have have a few that don’t break or even be green yet. If not your already to dry. Since you use the windrow tester. You should also test the bale immediately after dropping it. Compare readings. Between my baler tester and hand held there is approximately 5% moisture...

500 hours is nothing to scoff at in a year. I wouldn’t be concerned with it.

Did you do the twist method before baling. Sounds like you did rounds, 17% might be pushing it for rounds. I would have no problem baling that in sm. sq. I never check hay after the fact. It will make you 2nd guess yourself. Moisture and heat will always rise after baling no matter how dry. It...

Try to figure out they’re tax exempt routine. I gave up on getting my money back.

9 speed not 12. One reason I don't even look at them. Not enough gears in them. They are nice size and decent styling. Couple low hour ones around here that I would love to get my hands on but the gearing puts a halt on that.

Looks like my New Holland when I round bale. It is the only tractor that I have that issue on. The old JD I can bale all summer with no over heating but the NH get halfway through the day and the needle will touch red. Stop, pull the AC condenser, and wipe off the accumulation of dirt/dust and...

Okay. I stand by my price and the fact the entire tractor is repainted. Keep in mind the actual hours are probably slightly to much higher due to the style of hourmeter. The hourmeter on those tractors only recorded an actual hour IF it was run at pto rated rpms. Meaning if it spent an easy life...

You have sat on this tractor personally? Need many more pictures and no that entire tractor has been repainted.

Based on what? it has been repainted. Those are not OEM decals. Have you seen and ran it in person? Does the tach work? What issues is new paint covering up? Sight unseen and winging it $5000 and I'm not sure I would go that much.

The trucker was probably contracted out. Who did you place your order through? Any place I would get it from can readily provide me details on the lime. The company I buy from now send the specs with the bill and this lime comes from Lockport, NY. My other source for lime would come from Ohio...

.

That is a very loaded question. So many variables and what do you want calculated? Land rent cost or you own it and taxes. Lime and fertilizer costs. Costs of putting in a field. How many years are you going to factor that in. Your time. Equipment. Bare minimum and old. Or in my case more than...

If a person like that came here I would just tell them, then go buy them. The out of the field this year is $3 - 1st and $4 - 2nd squares. We bumped the 2nd price $.25 as well as the prebuy and stored hay price. Slowly getting prices where they need to be but never where it should be. Had a...

Sure would make life easier if we could get those prices here. If we have a surplus to sell during the winter it’s $4.50 1st and $6 for 2nd 4x4 1st cutting round bales $50 and they are just starting to move. As far as I know we are the highest price seller in the area.

You had me excited when you said Fendt square baler. Then I went and checked it out and you meant big square. lol. Maybe by the time I upgrade my small square to an inline I can get the 1840 in Fendt green.

Good advise on above. Keep it clean and check regularly. Want to go a step further to pinpoint add an additive to hydraulic oil so you can black light it. Had a similar situation on my NH but when new. Leaked slightly in a banjo connection area. Cleaned, replaced seals, cleaned up mating...

No tedder or? Why would you not run a tedder right after mowing so they covered the entire field? What little loss there would be would be made up in better, faster, more even drying.

Is the fence sturdy as is? If so are you looking to fix for aesthetic reasons? I’m assuming you’re going to use woven wire on the inside. I would use as is if it is solid

While yes there is a plant back restriction, I regularly use 2,4D, Mixes with 2,4d at high rates to bring my pastures in order for years. As long as one doesn't get it on the leaves the trees there is no effect to them. When it greens up I can provide pictures of the areas if anybody have any...

We posted at same time. Is there oats with it to help stabilize soil until grass gets going? Hopefully the field is better than what I’m picturing

For our area fall seeding are getting to be the way to go due to heavy spring rain fall. I hope is was no till. That’s a lot of lost soil if any kind of slope.

I know this will come up as I have been called out on it several times. I know many have hours round trip to reach their dealer. I’m blessed to live 20 minutes from my closest dealer. 5 minutes when I’m at work

I have learned from these forums that JD dealer prices may be higher than Green Parts Store. So shop around and double check. For me I use Green Parts Store to check prices. Never once has it failed that it is the exact same price as my local dealer. Keeps me from bothering the counter person...

There was a time I used to run them in with a impact and said good enough. Driving to work one night the valve stem extender came loose and broke the valve on the inside dual. Because it was fieldwork season had everything with me including at that time Craftsman 1/2" impact. Pulled off, jacked...

Did you just buy the switch you needed? The key is to disassemble, find markings on failed switch, and spend a lot of time researching to find your needed part. Had a mirror fail on a NH. They only sold it as an assembly for $xxx.xx. All that I needed was a spring, couple washers, and a...

Every time I rotate tires or have them off for any reason. Hand start lug nuts, run them up with impact, tap them a couple times, then finish with torque wrench

Is that a cat 1 or 2. I haven’t got to that point yet and where mine is going to come off is anybody’s guess. Mine is a cat 2 and no not light. I have gotten to the point I know longer carry it though

So you can fix it when it breaks or modify it so it fits? Why not just go to JD and get what you need. Pricey? Sure but after 25 years with the one I have no complaints and works as good as the day I got it. Gets moved from tractor to tractor pending application. Purchased only because the...

Ignore it. What does the rest of the area look like? I would be more concerned with metal objects creating flats then glass. Once you get grass growing you will never know its there. Find glass of all types around the farm and in the fields. Never once has it caused a flat.

I like tractors in their work clothes. Dust and dirt doesn't bother me. I want to see the grime that could indicate oil leaks and such. If I go and look at a used tractor and see considerable effort in cleaning I'm going to wonder what the seller is hiding. Same with repaints. I won't buy a...

I hope you didn't buy it new, try to save money and now decide you want them. That is an expensive mistake. Looking at others it seems 1 remote is about standard so where they are plumbed in on the tractor is your starting point. Your going to need the parts diagram as the starting point. From...

Your description sounds vaguely familiar and know it as Fluid Film. You can get it in several different consistencies. Not sure if it would work for you. Much more readily available based on how hard your searching now.

Never should your graph look like this. While this extreme doesn’t happen like this much anymore I see 400’s on a regular basis. double ups are very common if not every day. Double downs have lessened. No not my graph but someone close. It’s very common to be in the basement and level off at...

That's funny. Interested in a 80's dump truck with a 460 and worried about gas mileage. My guess is it will get the same mileage. I have a 3500 C/K 3500 crew cab dually w/454 and a Dodge 2500 w/V10. They get about the same mileage. I did not buy them for fuel mileage capabilities.

Until the next day when black soot is covering everything. I won't burn tires but sometimes it gets to the point where you need to do something. Wife and I bought a property that was essentially abandoned. Rims with tires everywhere. Had many fires that I did not like burning. Still more...

Type 1 I’ll speak to. Diabetes is not well understood otherwise maintaining a healthy bs level would be easy. But everything varies one from person to person and from day to day. And as stated in the above post. You can do the same thing everyday and have varied results. Why? Just because you...

So there was a shortage/supply issue? Exwife contacted me to see if I could get the G7 locally in Feb. Said they were having issues getting them. Son is back on G6 for time being. On a different note if I have need Dexcom/Tandem supplies just learned of 2 people in Southern Tier NY that...

And I was enjoying the piece and quiet on the subject matter

No red. Blue blue blue. You just need a little bit.

Yes it is. I'm 45 min east of Erie on the NY/PA line

If you take the time to trap them, take the time to shoot them.

Talk about thread drift.

After researching I do remember coming across that the 2555 had both options. Sorry about that. I guess if the tractor isn't painted the fading should be different between the tractor and engine but has to know for sure that the engine came from a 2755 is beyond me. If your friendly with your...

Appears you didn't read tractor data very well https://www.tractordata.com/farm-tractors/000/1/3/136-john-deere-2555-engine.html https://www.tractordata.com/farm-tractors/000/1/3/137-john-deere-2755-engine.html

NH are a pain. Have a TD95D. Brake fluid. Power steering reservoir. Expensive filters. Makes me glad I have more JD than NH's

Want to say 150,000 on the SCC and I would run 200-220 can't remember on the others. 22 years ago this fall on being done milking. Did relief milking for a few years with the custom work. It was neat to see other barns and while I thought our was very labor intensive it was a walk in the park...

Correct. Tiestall to freestall. lol no we had a pipe line. 4 milkers, dad up it to 6 then after he passed I got 2 more at an auction. But guess what, the milker pump was not upgraded. The ramification was really noticed when toward the end I did all the milking by myself so 5 milkers max. The...

Barn held 60. Most I milked was 80 one summer. I leased out the extra 20 when had to put young stock back in the barn. After they were gone I realized I would have been better not milking the extra 20. I made more milk per cow with 60 than 80 because the facility to hold them was not designed...

And that's great but in the dairy world you don't get a choice in what your paid for all your hard work. Your milk leaves every or every other day and you do not know what your going to get paid per hundred weight until next month in 2 checks. But you just spent all your money making sure the...

I did the same thing this past summer. Dry spell and had the opportunity to brush hog the swamp. I pushed my luck and needed a 2nd tractor.

Correct. What are you saying? I have fields that have soft spots. And can go through them just fine. But then .......................done. Why? Springs move, tile lines seep, veins appear. All the history can't prepare for something you still can't see underground. So he says soft spots. Are...

So which would you prefer? Pay more in the store knowing it goes to the farmer or not see the costs every week but know it your taxes are attempting to help the farmer with programs? In a nut shell this is the simple explanation. But it is not that simple is it? There are greedy middle men just...

You mention meat. Think about dairy. Just take what you pay per gallon of milk. The dairy farmers just get cents of that milk you bought. I think class III milk is around $20 per hundred weight currently. When I quit in the early 2000’s it was around $8. But probably cost $13 to make that 100...

But if the ground all looks the same from the seat you won't know until to late. You don't get a choice when the bottom falls out. Had they been half a tractor width on either side that video may not have ever been made. Not the tractors fault and not the drivers. Like I said been there done...

Based on?

Did you watch the video? I finally did. I see nothing wrong. Sometimes the bottom just falls out. Looks very heavy in clay. Once your in your done. Plowed ground but similar situation. Bottom falls out. Unhooked implement, pull tractor out then use chain from tractor to implement to get it...
