    Round Bale Trailer

    One thing I have always had a concern about the inline bale haulers is loading them. You push each bale up as you load from the back, slipping the clutch on your tractor the whole time. Is this a concern? Or am I just over thinking it?

    fescue seed

    Kenny Davis quit buying seed about 3 or 4 years ago. He told me the buyers got to where they would not accept seed unless it was almost pure fescue so he quit. My combines have been setting for about 10 years now. Anyone interested in a Massey 300 or a 510? :)

    Hesston 845 round baler

    Anyone have opinions on the Hesston round balers in this series? It's 1999 model in pretty decent shape.

    JD 500 or 510 Baler?

    I do not have any personal experience with either of these balers. But, I have never heard a kind word spoken about them....lol From what I have read, they are a bear to start a bale with at times.

    845 New Holland Baler

    The first thing I would suggest you do is to go buy an owners manual for your baler. They are invaluable if you do your own maintenance :) There are two big springs on each side of the baler, you can tighten the bales up a bit by adjusting these IF your chains are not worn out. The best way to...

    Computers..

    Most generally, a Netbook is something that is used to access the internet only, very little memory storage and limited use on programs. They come with a monthly charge of about $60 for internet access, but they usually work anywhere and do not have to be plugged into anything in order to access...

    Bobcats kill deer ?

    I voted no. But then I looked it up on the internet, and found out I was wrong! I know, shocker :P Seems if they are hungry enough they will attack deer.

    Satan

    That's a good one. If you can't find the humor in it, well, I'm sorry :) My wife, God love her, has a heck of a sense of humor. One of her favorite sayings is: "If it weren't for marriage, men would go through life never knowing they were wrong" I have always found that funny. :)

    Zero Turn Lawn Mowers

    I bought a John Deere 425 zero turn about 2 years ago. So far it hasn't given me any issues at all. Seems like a good machine. It has plenty of power and does a good job mowing our yard. Going from a tractor style to a zero turn takes a bit of getting used to, or did for me anyway. For the...

    845 New Holland baler

    The book says it makes a 54" x 54" max size bale. 845, 846 & I think 847 all make that size.

    BALER TIE

    I'm certain there is. It did come as an option if I remember correctly. So all you would have to do is find or make the parts. I have an 846 which is a bit smaller than yours. I'm getting ready to make it hydraulic tie. The only thing that consists of is a hydraulic cylinder, some brackets...

    How many acres in this field.

    By my figures, laying it out with your dimensions the angled part that is 340 ft. will push the 555 ft side out of parallel with the right hand side. That is assuming you have a 90 degree corner at the lower right. Using that I come up with 6.38 acres.

    I think it's just different personalities. Some like to talk, some not so much. As you can see from my post count I'm just a lurker. I check the boards most everyday except for the weekends. I've always gone by the philosophy that you can learn more by listening than you can by talking. It...
