farm

As in all businesses, there is ups and downs. Farming is no different, well maybe worse... Had a record rash of things busting and or suddenly not wanting to work this spring. First was the 790. I was tilling with the 790 one field with a long gentle slope on one end. Been using the 4wd to...

AprilApril 19th I found myself doing battle with the mud. The Cat Challenger 285B was out of commission since I was putting in new brakes. So since that is the ultra slow tractor we use for the transplanter we had to find something else to do. The field crew decided to get a jump on getting one...

Does anyone have any experience with Java Farm Supply, formerly Mabie Brothers in update NY? Good or bad? Post here, or contact me via private message - thanks

Can anyone help me with some advice

The Cooperative Extension Service has a huge catalog of plans for farm buildings, and equipment. Want to build a hen house, they have plans. Want a tractor shed, they have plans. The Universities used to have Ag Engineering students do the plans as senior design projects. Not all of the...

Can I attach a common 5 or 6ft box blade to a 75hp farm tractor? Most I see are category1 3pt hitch. I assume mine is a cat2? I see threads about sizing a box blade to a small utility tractor like a 25 or 35 hp tractor but I don't see any mention of connecting a box store variety box blade...

What current model # is the biggest Horsepower farm tractor that Kubota makes with hydrostatic trans option ? I’d love to have a new M5-111 open station Farm Tractor with a E-Hydro Trans Option. I use to have a JD 4720 66hp OS with Hydro trans & I fluid filled all 4 tires but it still wasn’t...

Todays farm tractors are packed with electronics and gadgets. This is the dash of a Massey Ferguson today:

Retirement is scheduled for 2025. soooo I have had the bug to get an excavator for some time. Rented one to do some work around my 2 acre pond years ago. I have a specific project to start with it. Its a wooded strip about 170 ft long and about 40 ft wide. Most trees in it are under say 20...

I've never owned a pickup, but I'm thinking about getting one. It wouldn't be a daily driver, just for around the farm* and getting things to and from the farm. Going to the lumberyard or Home Depot for building supplies, going to the dump once a week, occasionally transporting goats or sheep...

For me it used to be Muck Boots but I think it's time for a change and looking to see what others wear that hold up to farm or rural use?

I have about 20 acres of farm field on our property in NW TN that has been fallow for a year now. Was planted for the last couple of decades with wheat, soybeans and corn. I'm looking to smooth it and plant with tall fescue ... more for a lawn than for haying. Right now it's a moonscape of...

I've done a bunch of research, and there's just so many variables I could use some advice please. I've got about 6 acres of pasture to mow, it's flat. Currently using a zero turn but a rotary or finish mower on a tractor would definitely help with the larger open areas. edit: It'd help because...

Hi, Got a FP 2024 that will only start with starting fluid. Once running it blows a lot of black smoke and barely runs at all. After a while when struggling to keep it running it starts to run better but bangs and pops. I changed the Fuel Filter and bled it at the filter and several line...

We are looking to replace an older Kubota 3710 for our 40 acre hobby farm (photo below) with another used tractor. We use the bucket a lot, cultivator and mowing deck attachments (for pastures and gardens), but hooking them up to the PTO is a real pain. Looking for advice on replacement tractor...

Does anyone know how to find a owner's manual for a 2005 farm pro 2420 2 WD

I'm purchasing a 126ac farm and there is the benefit that livestock waterers are scattered across it. However, there is no active water running at them, and I can find no valves. I plan to remove the old waterers and replace them with Hydrants and/or Mirafont waterers, but... I don't even know...

I sold my horse farm a few years ago, after building it from a row crop system. I did it primarily with a JD5100E with an FEL. Danuser tree puller, grapple and 3 shank subsoiler. I pushed it pretty hard, and in all reality, I needed a step up in frame size, to do what I asked of it. That tractor...

Project Farm has a YouTube out on counterfeit batteries for Dewalt, Milwaukee and Makita. It seems lije it’s very difficult to tell the difference other than price. He actually tests them and compares them to real factory batteries and even cracks them open to compare the insides. Pretty...

I have a farm pro 2420. When cold it steers ok but after an hour it doesn't work at all. Wheel just spin

I’m looking at buying a used farm pro 7040 The guy says it runs great but has a small hydraulic leak in the back. I asked if it was a hose and he said it’s from the control bank and that it was an easy repair with a gasket. I’ve never owned a tractor but am at a point where I need one. It will...

Hi everyone. We have a small vegetable farm. Being only a few people we try to mechanize things like weed control etc. My self I like to fabricate what ever I can from the scrap pile. What are some implements you guys have made ? Currently working on a Diamond tool bar. I’m going to mount...

The fence wood is solid except some ends are rotted at the nail spots. I have accepted an offer of this fence if I have it gone By june 15. I have two strapping hard working 19 year old boys promising to help me get it done. I am thinking of ways to detach the boards from the poles without...

Can’t wait to see some of the comments he has on this tractor. At $34k for a 55hp cabbed unit…

Hey guys- I have recently had reason to start some research on getting some security cameras installed on my place. 40 acres mostly woods, house in center of property. I am looking for anyone's experiences with setting up multiple security cameras on their property. Specific obstacles we have...

I have a JD 4500 with farm tires Rt1. The front tires are tearing up my meadow when I turn. Can I mix turf tires on front and leave the farm tires on the rear? I do need traction on some hilly areas so I do not want to go to all turf tires. Tractor is 4wd. Thanks

I bought overgrown property, built a house a couple years ago and started a farm because I like to suffer I guess lol. There was nothing here before or it was so old it didn't count. Currently a lot of poultry and a dozen Boer goats (big meat goats) but will expand when my kids get a little...

Hi All, I’ve lurked around on this forum for quite some time, but the realistic possibility of being a tractor owner within the month prompted me to join and get some insight, and hopefully reinforce my thought process. We moved onto 26 acres nearly three years ago now, but officially bought...

Hey everyone, I have a 1988 Case IH 275 compact tractor with a 3 speed transmission, and a 3 speed range transmission. Everything on it works great, except it will randomly stop moving while going in forward or reverse. After about 2-3 minutes of the tractor running, it will just stop...

We have 23 acres overlooking a bay in beautiful Cape Breton Nova Scotia. It was part of an old farm that is largely overgrown so I am using my l4740 with a backhoe attachment, logging winch and tiller to develop it. Part of my project is to become self sufficient by building a log cabin and...
