    New Holland TN95A clutch problem

    Had a TN70 4x4 w/ terrible clutch problems on the turkey farm. It was my all time fav. tractor but the clutch problem was a little much. After 2 clutches in 1 month, the dealer's mechanic told us that whoever is riding this tractor is resting their foot on the clutch burning it up...

    Starting a Herd...

    Well backhoe obviously I plan on making money as well, all I am saying is that in many business's wether you make it or not can strongly be attributed to wether your business has to pay interest or not. By paying cash the farm will have a better shot at making money. Registered herds all...

    Starting a Herd...

    I want to start a registered herd. It will me small to start unless I decide at a later time to buy/lease more land. I think the place will run 25-40 cows year round. I want something that is going to be a big deal or really on an upward curve like Balancers or Black Gelbvieh. The only...

    Awesome Tilapia

    We were turned on to Tilapia by some friends a couple years ago and have a very high opinion of it. We buy ours at Wal-Mart and we buy the "fresh filets" not the whole fish or the bagged fillets. Break a couple eggs in a bowl, beat them then dip you fillets in the the egg and roll in another...

    Looking to buy a ATV, side by side

    My 2 cents.... I have an '07 Rhino, it to me is much more comfortable than the bench seats, will haul whatever I would need. I pulled a 16' trailer the other day loaded to the max with braches and tree debris from the ice storm and it pulled fine. I pulled my father in laws ranger out of the...

    Who makes the best mens compound hunting bow?

    Ya, I wanted the Mathews Drenaline or Hoyt Vectrix, but bought a cheaper bow, a Fred Bear Element. I shot several different bows and for the price, the Bear bows were so much cheaper in price but offered the same features as the $800-$900 bows. I hit up the ma and pa stores as well but they...
