No, don't do it. I have a whole ac system apart right now on my Massey 2705 that I just bought because of how mis-managed the system was. I tore everything out and am putting all new parts in.

I agree with adjusting the spring tension on the crimper rolls if the conditioning ability seems to change with the volume of material. Also, I am sure the manual will describe a gap and also a visual test on the percent of stems that should show a crimp. I know on my New Holland that I actually...

I use Amsoil 15-40 in all my tractors and they are all old. Don't know if it really makes much difference but if it does I figure it could extend the life of my Perkins 354 engines, one has over 10,0000 hours and the other over 8000 hours. Everything I have read has said it is perfectly fine on...

I have Goodyear, Firestone, and one Michelin on my tractors. Getting another tractor and have to get a set of 18.4-38. Was thinking of a set of Michelins radials but the dealer gave me prices on BKT and several other brands. The Goodyear-Titans don't have as good as a reputation in this area as...

I am trying to blow the image up but I can't. See if it is knapweed.

Are you going to use solar or are you hooked to the grid?

Got a new piece to rent and it has test wells on the property. I see those Jet 12 volt well pumps advertised for under $200 and then there are the high priced $700 pumps the solar companies sell. I currently use bilge pumps to pump from surface water in a couple locations but am pretty sure they...

I grow few acres of hard squash and sweet corn every year and so it's pretty easy to do on field scale you can use the cultivator cultivating a planter to plant I tried tomatoes and had a lot of disease problems. Green beans can be pretty easy to grow on same scale. I found with a lot of the...

Had a kid run a red light almost killed me and totaled my 2008 Nissan Titan looking for another used half ton running around truck to go check cattle with having a very hard time finding a long box truck are you thinking long box trucks are more expensive and harder to find than short box trucks ?

I have broadcast them before on top of a tilled seed bed. I went to a cover crop seminar and I know people have broadcast tilliage radish with clovers, rye , triticale and a few others into existing corn for fall grazing.

I have a couple high powered units. The price difference is because the complete units with a panel, battery, charge controller and energizer are mini units not capable of charging large acreages. I have a Taylor 8 joule DC unit then I buy a large deep cycle battery and a 120 watt panel to...

Manure and composted matter are all I use and I can tell you that a manure spreader, espcecially with a upper beater and swath overlap work well enough. You won't get the perfect and as scientific of a spread as when using granulated fertilizer and spreader but when using organics you are...

Never knew, always though Washington had alot of gun freedoms. I am a member of the CCRKBA that is out of Washington, a big pro gun organization with 600,000 members.

We are having more severe winter then average and hay consumption is up. I make most of my living selling hay and the demand is high. I am holding back on selling anymore because I sleep better at night knowing I have a good cushion of 100 4x4s. I feed 3 4 x 4 rounds per day, they average around...
