Hey guys. I bought a 2006 New Holland L185 and I’m doing my first service on it. Here’s my dilemma. I changed the engine oil and put in 8.5 quarts of 15w-40 per the owners manual, but it shows way overfilled on the dipstick. About twice as high as it should be. I know it’s possible that the...

I know everybody is getting tired of my round baler questions but what do you know about these balers? I know they make a 4x4 and require low horsepower, but are they a good baler? I think they're the same as a Case-IH 8420. What should I look for when I go check it out? Like I have said...

Could somebody point me in the right direction to an online site where you can figure acreage using satelite pictures? I know I've seen it talked about on here before, but I can't find it. Thanks!

I just came into about 35 acres (it's close to the house!) to mow for hay. It didn't get mowed last year and now it has some standing broom straw in it, and looks pretty poor right now. I was wondering if I should bush hog it down, mow it like it is and then top dress it in the fall, or go...

Anybody know anything about the 30 series Kubota's? Looking at a M5030SU with a bush hog QA loader. Aprroximately 600 hrs, a 1 owner tractor, not sure what year model. Asking price is $10,900. What ya' think?

I need to know some information about these balers. I used the search feature found some info but I would like a little more specifics. I can pick one of these balers up for about $1000 bucks in what is said to be field ready condition. Here's the probem: I know absolutely nothing about a...

I was wondering what you folks that own or rent land away from your home do for a tractor at the remote sites? Do you keep a tractor at each place, and how do you feed in the winter? I currently only have my place at my house and another place about 5 miles down the road, so it's no problem to...

I'm looking at buying a new (to me) tractor and I'm looking for advice. I would like to stay around $12000 range. I know what some of you are thinking, but that's all I can spend right now. I'm wanting something in the 50-60 hp range, with a loader. Four wheel drive is ok, but not a must...

This is my first year trying to get my small herd bred. A good friend of mine let me borrow is angus bull. Anyway he's been at my place for 45 days. From talking to different people I think this should have been long enough and this will keep my calving window smaller. Thats why I was...

I bought the 467 conditioner I posted about before. My question is: it has a single acting hydraulic cylinder and when ever you lift the header all the way up it skirts some fluid out of the vent on the cylinder. I don't know much about single acting systems, could someonw enlighten me? Is...

I've started feeding hay recently and I've been putting enough hay to equal each cow getting 2% of their body weight a day, which I believe is what they should get(?). I work fulltime as a firefighter and because of my schedule I can't feed everyday. So I've been putting out enough hay for a...

Looking at buying one. Asking prive is $1500 which is cheap for my area. Haven't seen another for less than $3000. Is this a good machine? Looks to be in fair shape and has new knifes and belts. Rollers are in good condition. But it does need the roller chain. The current owner said that...

Is this is a good mower? What's it worth? I don't know much about the old ford sickle mowers, but was looking at one to mow hay with and maybe roadways and ditches.

What do ya'll use to keep the algee(?) from building up in your water tanks so fast? I heard of putting some clorox in the tank but I don't know how much.

Trying to decide between buying a used sickle bar or a haybine for mowing hay. I want to be able to run either with my 40hp tractor, in case my other one is down. Like the haybine for the crimping, but It is pretty much for mowing hay only. If I go with the sickle bar I can use it to mow...

Getting ready to lime one of my hayfields and I wasn't satisfied with the grass in one of my pastures so I figured it may need some lime too. I had a soil test done and they recommended .9 tons to the acre in the pasture. My cows are on this pasture now, can I lime it with the cows on it, or...

Alright it's me again. How about the NH 315 since the 271 got sold before I could get it. Don't know anyone whose had a 300 series but I 've been looking on the internet and the opinions vary greatly. One says a 315 is junk the other says it's as good as anything. Would love to find a 273...

My neighbor agreed to let me use 5 acres of his for hay and I was wondering what you guys/gals recommended for planting. I'm in central NC and I was thinking of some type of fescue mix. Right now the field is in standing oats and some other weeds that were never cut. I thought about hitting...

Never had any equipment that required hydraulics but I have a few questions about remotes. My tractor has a single spool remote. How many different size couplings are there and what is the rhyme and reason to what equipment has which? I see some implements have two hydraulic lines and some...

I've never used a cattle rub but the flys are terrible right now, so I bought one to try out. I tried the search thing but didn't have any luck, so here are my questions: 1. How high do I need to hang the rubs? 2. I use rotational grazing so would using t-posts so I can move the rubs around...
