Hope you give them a real nice Christmas present every year, because he’s not making a dime off that deal!

I wouldn’t do it for less than $1/bale, just to bale and drop. That’s assuming I didn’t have to go very far, and there was at least a few hundred bales. If I really took a pencil to it I’d probably need even more. Not sure how anyone could justify their time, tractor wear, baler wear, fuel...

Reminds me of a girl I dated briefly in college… her parents had a silver bar upstairs in their house for a doorstop. Doubt I’ll ever see anyone else using a 1,000 ounce bar for such a purpose! Turns out her parents were just about as clueless as her. I’ll bet there are a few Russians wishing...

How long would it take to compost down there? Had a friend take about 100 dump loads 3-4 years ago. Has composted down really nice and made some fantastic soil for the yard and garden. I took half dozen or so dump loads a couple years ago and mixed in with manure in lot to compost worked...

Just put in 3/4” 4x12 marine grade plywood last year. Soaked in oil/diesel. PVC decking had too much flex for me and poly was too expensive. We’ll see how it holds up.

I certainly won’t argue with the added life values of learning work ethics, compassion and other values from cattle. However, this is apples to oranges comparison without adding ALL of the related expenses.

Never would have bought a boot/glove dryer for myself, but got one as a present. They’re real nice! Find myself using off and on throughout the year as well.

I’ve been experimenting with this myself. High protein lick tub helps. I’ve put the last few bales out vertically and cut off the top half of net wrap. This has actually worked really well with just a few cows. Best so far with me has been this method on a cornstalk bale along with grass...

Had a couple realtors try to bring me into the fold early on in my career. Didn’t do it (yet), but they were both willing to pay for everything training wise. Just get the details sorted up front including any non-compete agreements if it doesn’t work out. A good realtor can do very well...

Let us know if you ever make a YouTube video showing your inspection process, I’m sure a lot of us could learn a bit. Where do you send the oil sample and what all will it tell you?

Don’t have any experience to compare, as I’ve only used my buddies which is a bumper pull, spread axle, single cylinder scissor dump. It’s been real handy and wouldn’t complain about anything on it. Curious to hear opinions on spread axle option for these trailers. Don’t know if it’s pretty...

Too much / too nice of a house is a different story. Reality is good chunk of U. S. couldn’t tell you what an IRA is, let alone differences between that and a Roth IRA or other investment vehicles. So I’ll stick with my view that generally a house a the best investment for the general populous...

Okay, it’s Friday I’ll bite. Tell me why buying your own home is not a good investment. Aside from those who buy more house than they can truly afford I would argue a good home is the single best investment the typical American can make.

Bought one of these sheeted cone feeders well used a couple years ago and can say they really help reduce hay waste and has held up well. Haven’t tried Poly, but have hauled off lots of thinned walled coop and TSC feeders that just don’t...

Those clay liners shouldn’t be cracking. You have something more serious than simply coating with mortar. I’m guessing you have water getting in somewhere at the top between liner and limestone. Got any other pictures from the top showing everything?

Started looking for newer truck about 4-5 months ago and got serious with my search 2 months ago. Decided to stick with GM. I don’t haul too much that often, but need enough for my needs when I do. Also need a few bells and whistles for work. Quad cab, 4x4, 6.2l, and leather seats so that...

I don’t have wide feet, but Mucks have been the most comfortable for me. Bought a taller pair of Mucks couple years back and couldn’t stand the comfort difference. Bought a pair of Bogs - comfortable, but did spring a leak the first year. Bought a pair of Dryshods late last Winter based on...

Probably worth a sit down review with your current provider. Seems from my experience any carrier who is not well known for farm coverage will find an excuse to say no or screw you over. Ultimately it’s not your insurance agent selling the policy who will be there to assess damages... That...

What would cause the belt to slip at the very end vs. throughout wrapping process?

Okay, here’s another 535 question- twine is wrapping several more times on home return side than it should. This is a friends new to him baler and I have exceptionally Little experience with round balers. No obvious broken parts or missing springs. Fluid level for pump is fine with new filter.
