Of the three Madill Ok trailer brands, I'd put WW third behind CM and S&H. The WW are usually the least expensive but seem to cut a few corners. CM just seems to pay more attention to detail than the other two and have a better paint process (although that doesn't matter much with an aluminum...

If you're only hauling smaller equipment, I go with 7K or 8K axles with single tires. Pull it with a 3/4 ton and you can avoid potential CDL/DOT issues that can come with the dual tandem trailers.

Land Pride is a division Great Plains which has an excellent reputation in the planting and tillage side of the farm equipment business.

You said it had been tested - value will depend on what the test read. If protein was low mid-fourties but if it was high, it would be worth more. Last year the were getting $90 per roll in NE Texas and SE OK and had a waiting list.

The one's I've built use either four 7" pipes or six 5.5" pipes for the main supports and 2 7/8" drill stem for the cross pipes spaced at 5 inches. I put the main beams where the treads of the vehicles are rather than just spacing them equal distances across the full width like some do. To...

I would think a 36" width would accommodate most bales

I've got a Koyker 310 mounted to a Deere 2555 and it would fit a 5610. Koykers are usually priced right and are decent no-frills loaders. It's also mounts and un-mounts pretty easy with just two bolts (would prefer it it was two pins however). If resale is the goal, go with a ford or...

Here's mine: 05 model with 6.0 and 5 spd manual. Recently had to replace the transfer case with 126,000 miles on it. Other than that, no problems. I never use overdrive for pulling loaded. 6.0 is a high reving motor and needs RPM to develop torque and HP. However, does fine in 5th with...

The ones I've been around, if you consign a tractor, you get to put a minimum on it. The monthly auction will run the tractor through up to thee months. The third sale is an absolute auction however and if the tractor doesn't bring the minimum you set, but you're still not happy with the...

I'll vote for the Belarus Tractors that were brought over in the mid 90's. Shift pattern was an H but on it side. Only redeeming feature I could see was down pressure on the three point. Great for running a post hole digger and that's about it.

The cylinders with only one hose use gravity for the return. Just plug into one side of the tractor. If you plug it in the wrong side, you'll just have to move the lever the opposite direction to make it work. As far as adaptors, John Deere used to have different couplers than the other...
