    Feed Troughs from Skidder Tires

    I have split large tractor tires down the middle in a jiffy with a chainsaw. While they are somewhat shallow, they do make good troughs for chickens or water/feed troughs for hogs.

    How to cut rear tractor tires?

    I used an old chain with a small chainsaw. Hung the tractor tire from the loader. Took about 1 minute to cut the tire, really quick and slick. My invention was going to be a circular bunk feeder that would use a large tractor or skidder tire that could just fit in one of the hay rings (Just hate...

    burning piles

    Used to make a living out of burning slash piles. For hard to start piles such as old "bone" piles (slash piles with the fine fuels either burned out or fallen and rotten), or very wet or snow covered piles, I mixed aluma-gel and gasoline (makes a jelly or gelatenous like napalm), poured into...

    Gator/Mule vs Four Wheelers

    The Forest Service Region 8, has been struggling with this very same question for about a year now (since too many fatalities on ATV's). Seems to me we are going full circle right back to the willy's jeep. The size of these UTV's and prices suggest to me that a used army jeep would be about what...

    Burning stumps

    Incompletly burned stumps can last a lifetime, but can kill the resprouting spp. Drives me nuts (hate hitting them with the brush hog). I'm told around here you can pour feed or corn in the drill holes and the hogs will eventually root /"chew" them out thereby, ripping apart the stumps. I expect...

    Thank you all one and all for you candidness and sincerity. I have a lot to mull over and I really appreciate it!

    New Calf Problem-Walking on front pasterns

    Thank you so much for the info!! I can't say if the calf has been nursing well (I have not been home during daylight) and frankly was lucky my wife caught the problem tonight. Momma is "Old Bossy" with a huge milk sac/udders, but again, can't say if the calf has been nursing. I guess I could...

    penned gamebirds next to cow lot?

    While not an expert, I cannot anticipate any conflicts with your situation regarding the quail. In fact, from what I observe with our poultry (primarily chickens), I see a desirable symbiotic relationship with the "multi-species" grazing. Advantages have included, increased parasite control (a...
