Both tractors have only canopies and both are 2wd with no loaders. The 5610 has two remotes and the TT75A has one remote. The baler is a twine tie and I think it is just the normal pickup, but not positive about that. Also, the 5610 is an S model.

I am looking at buying a 2001 NH 5610, a NH TT75A (not sure on the year) and a used BR730 baler. The tractors have 281 and 301 hrs on them, so they are pretty much brand new and the baler looks brand new. Just wondering what everyone thought of this equipment and what a fair price would be...

I just had a heifer that weights probably about 650lbs. have a calf unexpectedly. We got her about 5 months ago and she wasn't supposed to be bread, but you know how that goes. She had hers totally unassisted and it weighted about 65lbs. Very small, but that is what she needed and they are...

I would just put up an electric fence. The most expensive thing is the electric fence box with a solar panel, which will probably run you $200 - $300 dollars. You can use the high tensile barbed wire and metal electric fence posts that can be driven in the ground with a hammer with the yellow...

I am in the process of buying a new pair of boots and was just wondering if anyone has had any experience with this brand of boot. Thanks

If the property line runs down the middle of the creek then you could just ask the hunt club if you could fence the creek into the land that you are leasing for just a few hundred feet or something. But the best thing you could do for the future, if its possible, is to just put in a pond...

Sorry about that. The pasture is about 15 acres and is made up of healthy native grasses with a little broom straw with about 5 acres of trees. This pasture has had cattle on it for about 40 years and the cattle are mainly black angus.

I live in Virginia and am just wondering what is the rule of thumb of how many cows can be put in one pasture. Thanks

We have an unregistered black angus bull about 3 years old that is having some type of joint problem. The bull was doing fine and all at once his lower joint in his front leg became swollen and he could hardly put weight on it. We decided to get rid of the bull and then the swelling went away...
