    Cube feeder question

    Bought me a new cube feeder for my truck so I can get away from buckets and hauling feed. I love it and wish I had done it years ago but i'm having a small problem that may go away on its own as the paint wears off the dispensing spout. The cube's are falling off the side of the spout because...

    Identify cube feeder brand

    http://ranchers.net/photopost/showphoto ... puser/2741 Can anyone tell me what company made this feeder? I bought it at an auction and need a part for it, it has no markings on it anywhere and it looks too good to be shop built

    Mower Caddy

    Last year i bought a krone easy cut disk mower and now im wanting a caddy for it. The dealer has a Stoney Point which looks well made, but unlike all the others i have looked at, the wheels are straight across instead of being offset. I don't know the reason for the offset and just wondered if...

    Hay Prices This Year

    Hay prices are all over the board around here this year, most is $40-$45 dollars for a 4x5 bale of mixed grass hay. I have seen prices on Craigslist from $35 to $65 dollars. I advertised some on Craiglist for $45 for a 4x5 bale and didn't even get a phone call and that was with free delivery...

    Leveling ruts in hay meadow

    I've got a chance to bid on a hay meadow,it has some rough places in it and part of the stipulations are that the rutting that has been done by ATVs and four wheel trucks have to be leveled out. Some of it is pretty bad and i,m just wondering if i can do the job with just a disk or is it going...

Anyone have the same problem? Can't find...

    diesel or gas ?

    Currently have a 6.7 L Dodge 3/4 T truck and i love it, but it's only a 2wd and i want to trade it for a 4wd. Can't decide on a gas or diesel rig. Diesel is so much higher at the pump besides costing about $7000 or more initially. Thought about a half ton for mileage, but i think i would be...

    Reasons why farm trucks are never stolen

    Bernuda resurgence

    With some rains and cooler weather the last couple of weeks, the bermuda grass has been growing like crazy in my pastures. Not really growing tall, but showing up all over where i hadn't seen it all year. I always heard that bermuda had some deep roots and now that i see that its still there, i...

    drain hydraulic fluid?

    Got a new tractor (new to me) and it uses JD HyGard hydraulic fluid. The problem is that my other tractor used universal hyd fluid and all my implements have the universal fluid in the systems. I will bleed the systems to get as much of the old fluid out as i can. What i would like to know is...

    Farmers to the rescue

    This is unbelievable. Can you believe that of all those smart people (yeah, right) in Washington, no one thought of this. I don't know if it will be the answer, but it sure appears to me that it would work. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------...

    Kill small trees and brush

    Getting ready to spray some fence rows. What would be good for killing small brush and real small trees? I use 2,4,d for thistles and most weeds but it won't work for some of the bigger stuff.

    Some advice on fertilizer needed

    I would like to know if it would benefit me to fertilize a hay meadow/pasture that is mostly native. The soil test indicated that no lime was needed, but it was a little low on P & K. They don't test for N because they base your N on what yield you want. I know bermuda would benefit, but i...

    Sow on the last snow

    Sow on the last snow. i've heard that for years, and i missed it again. I was wearing shorts on Friday, they were calling for snow, but who knew? If i could, i would kick my own a__ for not being ready for this. Not only did i not get my grass seed out, but i didn't get any extra hay out and now...

    spraying for weeds

    Would i be safe in spraying a bermuda pasture with 2,4,D now and then fertilizing and maybe liming if needed and then trying to seed some legumes (lespedeza and clover) afterwards? It usually grows up thick with weeds early and i would like to knock them down this year, but i also want to try...

    Tractor Shopping

    I'm looking at upgrading tractors, newer and more comfortable with a cab & air and a loader and it seems like the more i look, the more confused i get. I really like a 6110 JD , but its got 5000 hrs on it and i'm kind of leery about spending $20 + thousand dollars for a 98 model with that kind...

    Tractor trade in prices

    Has anyone had any success trading in their tractor and getting anywhere near a fair price for it? The dealers i have talked to are worse than car salesmen. The last guy offered me half of what he is selling one for on his lot of the same model.
