    wheel hay rake

    Any thought on what works best, wheel rakes that pull or push hay? Or wheels mounted in back or front of beam? Trying to describe the best way.

    New Truck

    so many people buy them for luxury that it’s hard for a working man to justify. Sitting in Wally lot I see this. Double cab trucks are the new SUV soccer mom vehicle.

    I’m in the process of fixing my roller. Shaft broke exit side of gearbox. Something I picked up on was that the next model newer they changed the pitch of the pto. Which removed the CVC joints in pto. Parts guy at dealer told me they used to buy up all the used balers just for the gearbox’s. The...

    Does anybody still use one of these hay balers/stackers?

    We used to have one. They make a loose stack not a bale. We like it for corn steaks more than hay.

    Tractor tubes

    What ever you decide, don't go with cheap tubes. Last summer I had one tractor develop a leak with fluid. Called service, they replaced the stem, next day still leaking. Called back, they sent out two new tubes and replaced. As they were going out the drive I walked by other tractor, holy moley...

    bushhog & hay cutter in one?

    I bought an old bushhog brand mower from dealer. He claimed it was for mowing hay also. We did mow some small bottoms one year with a different one. It was the only thing we could get to mow.

    Vermeer 5410 Cone Shaped Bales

    We have a NH 630 roller. In the book it shows how to roll hay. Once it's started, drive to one side counting to 7 real slow. Then change to other side quickly and count to 7 slowly again and forth and back.

    Rebel 5500 bale density

    If you have the owners manual maybe something in there. On our NH it shows how to make the best bales. It is different than I learned when I was first introduced to hay rollers. Don"t do a weaving pattern but cross over and hold, usually for me count 7- 10, cross over and hold. Windrows about...

    Bought a drum mower today

    I bought a ZTR 165 used a few years ago. It's was old then. I had one bearing go out in the bottom of one of the drums. Like I said it is old. The blades are easy and quick to change. As long as your field doesn't have a lot of rocks the blades last pretty good. And the ones we have are...

    carb cleaner

    Thanks for replys. I'll check the tank. I also was thinking it might be the coil. It's a discontinued item at most places. But it can be bought for around $65. Not wanting to go that far with it.

    carb cleaner

    I have a Mac chainsaw that acts like the carb is messed up. I've taken it apart but saw nothing that would cause problems. It runs very good when first start up, then boggs and dies. Today it ran the longest so far, about 5 minutes. I have replaced all the fuel lines and filters and primer bulb...

    Tractor Canopy

    Wife's tractor is a Zetor 3320 which is 46 hp. It already had ROPS. We were at auto rebuilder and I spotted a fiberglass pickup bed cover that camp off a Ranger. I made a frame for the cover. It is the best. It's insulated and is a little larger than most tractor canopies.
