    Best Bull names you've heard....

    Brought a new bull home and introduced him to the girls. He went to work immediately so we called him STUDLY.

    My Duramax identifies as a Prius.

    Mower Issue

    There's only one source for gasoline and that's the carb. Float is sticking. Change the carb out and the fuel filter.

    Headgate or squeeze chute

    Ha, I have that to look forward to. Had a calf get UNDER a picnic table and pushed into a tank (pond). Sure was glad it was a dry season and little water in the tank. Stupid cows.

    heads up Windows users

    There is no such thing as AI! The algorithm's (instructions to the computer) are written by humans therefore AI is neither "Artificial" nor "Intelligent". I've got a BIL coming over this morning to try and clean my confuser (computer) up of all that crap that has been loaded on that I did not...

    Headgate or squeeze chute

    Got rid of my head gate years ago and replaced with a Powder River squeeze chute and never looked back. Sure makes it easier when it comes time to cut calves, just drop the panel, reach in and do your business, done. Never used the side exit and really don't know why it would be used unless you...

    Grapple

    Just got my first grapple and boy I sure wish I had had that 20 years ago. Took me two months to find one to fit my John Deere but turns out my local tractor/farm equipment dealer had one in his yard. Moved four brush piles dirt free, ready to burn in about two hours. It's an Armstrong grapple...

    New side x side

    I sure hope your carbureted Mule works better than mine. It won't idle down so you can put it in gear without grinding, idle adjustment won't stay in one place, difficult to start, etc, etc. Been in the shop many, many times and I've replaced the carb twice. Good luck.

    Part replacement prior to engine swap

    Might do a compression check if you can spin the motor over on the stand.

    Which describes you?

    So for those of you who leave the strings on do you ever worry about it getting caught between stomachs?

    Quick Hitch

    I don't know why I didn't see these adapters from Titan. I looked at Titan but didn't see them. Looks like they have what I need. Thanks folks.

    Quick Hitch

    Yes Sir, you're right. I'll find out this week what type of FEL is on the JD. The tractor is a 2755 but I don't know the model of FEL on it.

    Quick Hitch

    I usually don't go here for advice but I'm at the end of my rope. I'm trying to get a grapple for my Koyker 510 FEL or a JD FEL. I've found several grapples but ALL of them seem to have a "Universal" quick hitch connection or a skid steer attachment. Koyker does not make a grapple like I...

    IH 1486 brake problem

    My old IH 1486 has a brake issue . It take about 2 seconds for the brakes to apply. It's been in the shop twice for the same issue. Both times the mechanic says he bled the brakes and it seemed to work for a few hours but always returns to the same problem. Any ideas. EVERYTHING on this tractor...
