Does anyone utilize a spike or arm bed that can load round bales onto a car hauler or other low decked trailer in the field? Massey 240 Tractor is undersized for a front end loader for these 6x4 bales and would rather buy a multi-use trailer (as opposed to pipe hay trailer) and arm or spike...

Can anybody recommend which sprayer would be adequate for around 60-80 acres annually? Mainly for spraying flat hay meadows and would like the option to be able to also put down liquid fertilizer but that’s not imperative. There are several that fit my budget at Tractor Supply and Atwood’s but...

After a few years of trying to just get by with a little fertilizer and little seed here and there, I finally bit the bullet and had 60 tons delivered. Will be spreading in the next week or two. My place is very P&K deficient so hoping to see some real improvements this year. For those that...

If any of you have seen the ads on Facebook or Instagram for plug and play LED headlights, cargo, brake or reverse lights for sale at Dieselleds.com, they are legit and only took 5 minutes to install. Thats not to say they’re brighter than a much more expensive full conversion kit, but I do...

Has anyone had first hand experience bale grazing on old worn out pasture ground? I have been overrun with three-awn grass due to lack of fertility and desirable cool season grasses and am debating trying it out this winter. Would be curious to hear from those who have tried and liked it as well...

Anybody on here had any success making their own cultipacker? I have been looking at Land Pride and Packer Maxx cultipackers but wanted to exhaust all options before spending money on either. I am needing to renovate pasture/hay ground and need something to roll over the seed after discing and...

Does anybody have experience with this or similar poly 3pt POLY seed/fertilizer spreaders? Looking for a budget spreader to overseed/fertilize fall and spring pastures.

Gents, I have a coming 3yr old Hereford bull that I have owned since June 2019 that is not wintering well. He covered all cows and has been on easy street with plenty of June cut Bluestem (untested) hay and 3lbs daily of 16% commodity feed. He doesn’t act sick but the bred cows he’s being fed...

Anybody ever had decent success frost seeding perennial grasses (improved or native) via broadcast? Trying to decide whether not to give it a whirl on some smaller bare spots and may use a hand spreader...

Does anyone on here have any experience establishing Old World Bluestems? Curious what the consensus is. They seem to be equally loved and loathed by the masses. I am considering converting a few worn out pastures to OWB this spring. I have been told this can be done with minimal to zero to...

I am on the hunt for a used drill that can plant 15-20 acres of native perennials and also possibly some annuals being rye, oats, SgSdn and wheat behind an older Massey-Ferguson 240 tractor. I have been renting a hitch pin pull hydraulic Great Plains 606NT from the NRCS office at $100 per day...

Considering buying a 1 ton bumper pull feed bin. Lots of places around here have the GWS 1 ton models ranging from $1350-$1550. Having the bin would immediately lower my feed bill and save time and trips buying and stacking sacked feed as I’ve been buying ~600lbs at a time bc I store it I’m my 2...

What is the most effective and efficient weaning ration you all have used? Is 14% creep at ~$8 per 50lb bag adequate or is there something that has worked better for you all while dry lotted with hay and feeding twice daily? 12 days into weaning so far and calves are cleaning up 6lbs per head...

I am interested in purchasing a used Grass/Grain drill and honestly prefer a no-till type drill but don’t want to spend that much. I have been renting a Great Plains 606NT from the county at $10 per acre and $100 per day. That said, I guess my budget would be around $1K as I spend around 10...

Have had quite a bit of this grass pop up in hay pastures recently. Been about 75 days since first cutting. I don’t think I’m lucky enough for it to be Gamagrass, but I’m at a loss :help: Top of seed heads are around 24-36” tall.

Getting ready for a September/flowering stage treatment on Sericea with MSM60. My questions are: which small grains (wheat/rye/oats) can I plant after treatment? I understand wheat SHOULD be fine but curious about potential problems with Rye and Oats. I’d like to no-till drill a somewhat diverse...

My wife and I recently enrolled our kids (1st grade and Kindergarten), almost Irish twins :D in 4H. We have a small cow calf operation, but don’t own any other animals currently. My goal is to eventually raise a calf or two of high enough quality to show and we’ll get there eventually. In your...
