Now's a good time to buy a new Government Motors vehicle, they'll give you a puppy with the purchase of any new GM auto sold, that way you never have to worry about walking home alone. I had a couple GMs back in the 80s, Dad tried to warn me, but I wouldn't listen. Ford only now. Somebody...

I'll need to replace a trailer floor in the near future and was planning to make a trough of some sort to pour used oil into and soak the lumber in it for a few days to get maximum penetration before putting it on the trailer. I'd suggest you paint any metal surfaces with POR15, it's really...

I talked to a guy that used to be a parts man at the local NH dealership yesterday and he said the NH tractors that come from Italy have more quality problems than the ones from Mexico. He also said that NH as a whole has nowhere the quality that the Ford tractors had. Just for the record, he...

Name some of the fly baits that you've used.

Not being a smart alleck, but there's been a lot of people I've run into over the years that think New Holland bought Ford Tractor Operations, this isn't the case. Sometime in the 80s Sperry-New Holland was going bankrupt and FTO bought them because FTO didn't have a good forage line and SNH had...

Anyone use one? Would like to know how well they work. Youtube has some vids of them in action, but they're always on ground as smooth & level as a pool table and being in Ky. there's very little ground here that compares. Tell me how they perform on hillsides and rolling ground, advantages &...

The Lely has sealed drive units under each cutter head, you could run it in an upright position all day without any worries.

Lely makes the Vermeer mower. We've been running Lelys for several years with minimum problems.

Good point, that hadn't crossed my mind. Let us know what you find.

Just noticed this, sounds like there's a broken wire somewhere that occasionally makes contact. Most likely in the cable between the monitor and baler.

Try your monitor on a neighbors 530 or 535 and then hook your 530 to their monitor, that will tell you if the problem is in the monitor or baler. The monitor will interchange between the 530 and 535 without any modification to the wiring. If the problem is in the monitor contact AgriTronics, I...

Danged global warming.

Here's a story the Lexington Herald-Leader did, www.kentucky.com/181/story/782987.html

Folks, I'm as guilty of not using a seat belt with ROPS as anyone, but know I should. A couple of years ago my second cousin was pinned between the fender and ground after flipping a tractor just a couple of weeks after graduating high school. It's been a long recovery, but thank God above he's...

We used to be blue to the bone, but the last tractor bought was a Deere and I love it. Still have some blue paint (Ford, not NH) and no complaints. I'd think twice about buying one made in Mexico, heard some horror stories about those. I've heard MF has come a long way and is a lot more...
