    Trailer tires, best bang for the buck?

    What’s some of best deal on 15 inch trailer tires? Has one go today while loaded. I guess they were about 8 years old so did well. Not a lot of miles really. Guess the same brand isn’t available now. All the local places keep Trailer King and that’s it.

    Calf issues...

    Seems like this year has started rough, lost the first calf. My fault probably for not culling the cow last year not the best udder. Another cow her calf seemed weak and I started supplementing it and seems to be improving. Saw one born Sunday afternoon and I gave it colostrum to be sure it...

    Hauling 10ft wide cutter?

    I think I have a good used cutter located and the dealer is willing to take my 10 foot in trade. About a 100 miles away and doesn’t seem too interested in delivering. How much trouble could I possibly get into hauling it on my gooseneck? Best route would have some interstate roads.

    Rotary cutter suggestions

    I really dislike my 10 foot JD MX10 and would like to save some time mowing pastures. With 62 hp I am considering a 12 foot cutter. Any suggestions on brands with a good cut? I see some manufacturers say 50 HP on 15 foot cutters but worry that is too much. Mostly fairly flat ground.

    No oil change for 10 years and 170 hours

    Found a low hour tractor like I want but still has original filters on it with 170 hours and a 2013 model. Would that scare you away?

    Anyone use a Uship shipper for a tractor?

    May have found a good used tractor but 600 plus miles away. Anyone use a Uship shipper? Dealer is supposed to quote shipping but wanted to compare. I hate to go that far myself. I got some quotes in Uship that are as cheap as $2 a mile. Just trying to compare.

    2013 Kubota M7040 value

    Considering a used cab tractor. 2013 Kubota M7040 hydraulic shuttle with 1130 hours. Only seen pics looks straight but faded some. Tires are fair probably less than half. Interior looks clean. What’s a fair value?

    Anyone ever run these? Looking at a used tractor that has them and didn't know how they would do in the mud feeding hay. https://www.grahamtire.com/tires/make/goodyear/r14t/

    Question about radial tractor tires?

    It seems that the radials are wider tread surface than the comparable bias tires. Does that affect how they do in mud or soft ground?

    Feeding weaned heifers 1 or 2 times a day?

    I usually feed my weaned heifers a small amount of feed. In the past I always did 2 feedings a day. Trying to save some time so wondering if I do any harm feeding just once a day?

    Spot on udder

    Noticed this spot on a 9 year old cow. Her udder doesn’t seem to stay as full as in the past. 6 month old calf seems about normal. What is it?

    Kubota M7060

    Considering a cab tractor to keep from eating so much dust and stay cooler. Found a 2021 M7060 for what seems fairly priced with 650 hours. Had good luck out of a 2008 M7040 but emissions junk concerns me. Hate going in debt at my age too. Small time guy anyway. Am I nuts for even considering it.

    Bull issues?

    I got a 4 year old bull that seems to have a problem. Noticed he lays around more than usual, limps or seems to walk stiff legged. I could not find any issues, had vet look at him and thinks it is up in the shoulder. He is a 1800 pound or more bull. Vet says he should be ok breeding next year...
