Needing a fourwheel drive (around a 40 hp) kubota for bush hogging, seeing a lot of hydrostats for sale, any comments about how they hold up doing farm work, hay loading etc. Thanks ! RCP

I started building a hay un-roller, and had an old man ask me why didn't I just use the front wheel of my tractor like he does ? I tried it and it worked fine on JD bales, just aim for the middle and take off. I did find out it will only work on hard solid rolls (others just mashin. Good luck. RCP

Looking good dun, merry christmas to you and yours! RCP, central AR. I have always appreciated your advice !!!

I'm from Arkansas, and I can't help it, I have a couple of bed (cot) angle iron frames with the little springs all the way around it that I use. Light, quick and easy to wire in place. Cost is $0 ( when folks leave them behind). The also make pretty good chicken pen gates.rcp :lol2:

I have a question. January 30,2013, bought a bull that had been checked that day, vet's papers say "good". I bought him to turn out May 1, 2013 for breeding season. Just for safety sake, had my vet check him on April 23, 2013. Bull was in good physical condition and all other findings were...

My clutch has started drooping to the floorboard. Then can't shift the trans. Pick it back up to the top and then can depress it and shift just fine, later just droops again etc etc. I was wondering if it might have air in the system that needs to be bled out ?? Thanks in advance for your...

Drove by the other afternoon and saw my 4-5 year old bull sucking a cow and her calf was on the other side sucking also. Have not had this bull very long and really want to keep him for a while. I probably know what I've got to do , but I gotta hear it from a those that have been there and done...

Thanks to all ya'll for the information, I guess I will just give it a try and see what happens ?? The way things are being stolen around me I decided to be proactive instead of waiting to be another target. They already got my scrap iron!! RCP

I am going to brand my cows with an electric L& H brander, but really don't have enough information or know how. How long should you leave a cherry red iron on a cows hip ? And is there anything you do before or after the branding ?( I know this will get a lot of genius answers. But I'm serious...

.38 special snubnose, but I may quit, because If I had had a gun last week while moving cows across the road, two calves would be dead now, due to their not having any brains. Maybe guns are not for everybody ??? rcp

Few years ago I built a rail fence using them. And as long as it was up for no apparent reason, the nails would just break and let one end of the rail fall down. I would examine it and right in the middle of the nail, it would be broke off. Finally took it down and made firewood out of it. I'll...

Just purchased this tractor, no manuals, can someone help me with the Hyd. filter location. Is it a sreeen type and where is it located. Lift won't raise, fluid low and milky. Want to change it out. Thanks RCP

O.K. Dun, you didn't say - send him to the sale barn?? Anyway that is what I have decided to do. Cut back my herd while they are so high, and maybe but some when they are cheaper. I usually do just the opposite. Tax man said it might be good to show a profit for a change ?? rcp

I already know what Dun is going to tell me, but,,, I have just started breeding season, put my blk saler bull in couple of weeks ago with about 28 cows with young calves, and he keeps leaving them and getting over in my hay field. I am wondering if he has " changed teams " any way I do not want...
