    Squeeze Chute Floor

    Forgive me if this isn’t the best place for this question. Somebody feel free to move it if you feel it might get more traffic in another section. The wood floor under our chute has broken down. What have you guys done to rebuild your chute floor? I’ve seen diamond plate with square stock or...

    How old is this Barn?

    Can any of you guys put a guesstimate age on this barn? Wife’s grandparents built their house in the 70’s. This was an old dairy barn that was there from a long time before, but we’re trying to put an age on it. I took some pictures to try to help with an estimate. Maybe they’re helpful? If any...

    Your setup for spot spraying and fence lines, etc.

    What’s your guys setup for small jobs, spot spraying noxious weeds, fence lines, etc? And what herbicides are you using for your fence lines? I have a Honda Rancher I’d like to get a tank setup for. What size serves you guys well? Did you go boomless? Thanks

    Circle D stock trailers

    Hey everyone, we’re in the market for a new stock trailer. We’ll be keeping our 20’ Travalong for a back up but it’s seen better days. From what I understand, new trailers are hard to come by with metal prices and customer demand at the moment. A local trailer dealer here sells Circle D stock...

    Hydraulic Cylinders for Bush Hog Batwing Mower

    Hey all, We have a Bush Hog 2615L that I believe is in need of some cylinders for the wings. I can’t find any specs in the manual but after some measuring, I think it’s a 3” bore, 12” stroke cylinder and sticker says it’s rated at 3000 psi (maybe someone can verify the bore and stroke)...

    Hydraulic Oil in New Holland L785

    Hey guys, have a New Holland L785 skid steer. It’s developed a hydraulic oil leak and until I have a chance to find and fix the leak, was wondering if I can add a certain oil to the system to keep it full without any ill effects. The book calls for a J20A spec oil which from what I understand...

    Best Skid Steer for Farm Use

    Alright, we currently have a New Holland L785, can’t remember year, but I want to say late 80’s. It has a Perkins diesel (I believe). We operate my wife’s grandparents farm, and either need to fix this machine, or purchase another used machine that runs/operates 100%. The L785 we have now...

    Concrete with self treated wood posts

    Have a question. Going to be finishing my 5 strand barbed wire fence. Plan on using high tensile wire (Gaucho or something similar), with t-posts spaced 12’ apart (unless you guys recommend something else) and a hedge post for every 6 or 7 t-posts. I know concrete isn’t necessarily recommended...

    Stretching Barbed Wire Between Metal Braces

    Hey guys, putting up a five strand barbed wire fence. Some of you may have seen my previous post of setting pre-fabbed brace and corner posts. I know some said it wasn't a good idea, but with my available tools, it was my only option for using metal posts. Most are 4.5" (OD) pipe set approx...

    Pre-fabbing Steel Corner Posts/Braces

    Hi all, I'm new here and will be replacing an old fence at my wife's grandparents place to keep in cattle. I haven't put up a fence before but have done some reading/asking around and have a firm grasp on what I want to do. I'll be going with a 5 strand barbed wire fence using steel posts for...
