    Tractor recommendations

    How about a good running Ford 5000 with a pair of chains for bad weather. I don't have chains on mine but it will take me anywhere I have any business trying to go. I've always thought it went better in the snow than my 6640. May be the tire width. 18.4 34 on the 6640, 15.5-38 on the 5000. Last...

I know most have gone to trailers but it seems like there's still a place for a 2 1/2 ton truck to haul cattle. I've even seen 8' covered aluminum beds in the past. Friend had a 12' on a...

    Its beginning to look a lot like...

    Bear numbers in this part of Va are up much higher than when I was young. Deer numbers have come back from the beating they took in two back to back winters in 09 and 2010. Turkeys have gained around here. One thing that has seemingly slowed is coyotes and I'm not complaining a bit. We don't...
