    Machinery in question: John Deere 5510 Older 12’ International harrow Tractor will raise and lower harrow but only if you work the hydraulic lever on the tractor very, very slowly. If you push or pull the lever too fast it will lock down the harrow. If you are raising the harrow and pull the...

    Air Compressor won’t stay running

    I’ve got an Ingersoll Rand wheelbarrow air compressor. About 3 years old. Has worked flawlessly from Day 1. Now all of a sudden it will crank up (purrs like a kitten sometimes, runs rough sometimes) run about 5-10 seconds, and switch off. Here’s what I’ve done. Drained gas and replaced...

    Think you’re a farmer? Not according to this you ain’t!

    I’m all for advocating for what you believe in. But some of this BS is so far fetched that I can’t even begin to understand even a small portion of the rationale. I think that’s bc there is no rationale! Excerpt: In addition to attacking the budding generation of agriculturalists, activists...

    Electric Fence grounding

    I’m finishing up installing a high tensile electric fence on 35 acres. This land is real sandy. And right now we are bad dry. I usually install (4) 8’ ground rods on other farms with excellent results. With this land being real sandy and dry, would this be sufficient? I was pondering “stacking”...

    Pressure Washer On/Off switch help

    I have a Generac pressure washer that won’t cut off with the on/off switch. Pulled the switch and tested with a multimeter. Continuity between the terminals in the OFF position. No continuity between terminals in the ON position. This seems backwards to me. Am I missing something? Trying to...

    Caustic Burno

    CB, got your PM. Typed out a long and informative response. But I can’t send you a PM. Option is not there. Not sure if it’s a glitch, or if there’s something I don’t know. If you can read this....Short answer to your question is Yes. It should be a good one.

    WalMart Beef

    My wife called earlier and asked if I’d like to grill a steak rather than go out to eat. Of course I said yes. I had a long day. She didn’t say where she was getting them. So she picked up some, marinated them, and I chunked them on the grill when I got home. I never asked where they came from...

    Hydraulic problems

    This may be a stupid question. But so be it, bc I don’t know the answer. Have a JD 6115D. Far from the best tractor JD ever built. I also have a JD 210 harrow, and an old IH 12ft harrow. Both hydraulic lift. If you pull the lever on the tractor too hard(fast) the harrow cylinder will lock up...

    Cleaning old Fuel Tank

    Picked up a 275 gallon diesel tank from a friend real cheap. Has been sitting empty for a few years. Other than a good new filter, what recommendations do y’all have for cleaning it out? Thought about tilting it slightly, with the pump being on the high end, and putting a new filter on and just...

    Truck 4WD problems

    Well I finally got my big bad Macdaddy Ram stuck today. First time in the 4 years I’ve owned it. And like everything else I do, I done it to the best of my ability, which in this particular case, was way past good enough. Got stuck in the middle of a cow pasture of all places. It is soupy wet...

    Cattle Related Question - Tetanus

    We’ve discussed this over and over and over. But I posted a question a few weeks ago in another thread and nobody responded. Let’s pit this one to bed once and for all. Some have insinuated yes. No one has said no that I can remember. When banding bigger bull calves (400-600lb), is a single...
