    Ford 7740 Lift Arm Sleeve

    I need one. Dealer wants $388. Abilene Machine never returned my call, which is two calls now on two separate parts in two weeks. Any suggestions on where I could find one?

    Steel Panel Fencing / Corrals in Concrete?

    Ok guys I'm talking about these steel panels like in the below link. I'm curious what you guys say. I've got one buddy that swears they have to be set in concrete or the fence will lean, but the neighbor says he just pushes his posts in the ground with the excavator bucket. Obviously for working...

    Rear Tractor Tire Width

    How do you guys decide your rear wheel width? This first photo is my Case 110, no front wheel assist, that the dealer set the width super wide. It's actually about the width or slightly wider than my flatbed which I don't care for. I think it's a bit too wide. Plus the rear wheel is awfully...

    Tractor and Disk Size

    I know offset and spacing will dictate width along with soil type and bottom ground versus hill country. Through modest gently rolling hills what would you say a Case Maxxum 125 front wheel assist tractor would pull? I've been thinking about getting a larger old disk to pull in order to clean up...

    NH 7090 versus 7090 Specialty Crop

    What exactly is the difference in these two? It looks the pickup has another roller to help feed in stalks? I know a dealer with a leftover Specialty Crop even though the 7090 would be better for me since 99% of what I do is hay. Would the Speciality Crop baler do fine in hay and possibly be...

    New Holland T5070 Versus TS115

    OK, I've been looking for a new tractor to upgrade to. I was kind of looking at the TS115's, but have been noticing that the 2006 or so models are close to the same price as a 2012 T5070 or even more expensive. What gives? Both are about the same horsepower? Are the T5070's a lighter tractor...

    Three Point Quick Attach Hitches

    Do any of you guys use these? My New Holland three point disc mower is always a pain to hook up by myself. I wondered if I could get something like the quick attach hitch to make it easier? Are they worth the money? What do they run? I guess you add bushings to the implement for it to latch in...

    Adding Hydraulic Remotes Ford 7840

    I saw a pretty nice low hour Ford 7840 with a front end loader the other day. The odd thing is that it has slots inside for 4 hydraulic remote levers, 8 plug ins, but there are only 2 levers and 4 plugs on the back. What kind of money would I be looking at to add two more levers or is this...

    Stacking big bales vertically

    With my loader I can stack them on ends halfway decent, but what are people using to stack them vertically clear up to the roof of barns? I can go about two tall and then don't have anymore clearance to get the loader spike out of it. I see a lot of barns stacked to the ceiling with big bales on...

    How much faster is a pulled disc mower or moco?

    Right now I'm running a 3 point disc mower around 9' wide. I see where most mower conditioners or pull type disc mowers are around 10.5'. How much quicker are they and easier to turn? What width are you guys running?

    Bobcat Trailers Doolittle? Or?

    I'm in the market for a bumper hitch trailer to haul small stuff and my bobcat that weighs around 6,000 pounds. I'm tired of pulling my long and high sitting deck over goosenecks just to haul a little bobcat. I'm looking for 20' total deck length, 18' plus 2' dovetail with flip up ramps. I...

    Tractor Chains

    Well I know it is just now July, but I've still got the harsh winter on my mind from last year! I want to be more prepared and outfit all the tractors with chains. Tires are 18.4-38. TSC looks like $800 for a pair. You guys know of any discount places online or other stores to check with?

    I thought I was a cowboy until...

    An old cowboy sat down at the Starbucks and ordered a cup of coffee. As he sat sipping his coffee, a young woman sat down next to him. She turned to the cowboy and asked, 'Are you a real cowboy?' He replied, 'Well, I've spent my whole life breaking colts, working cows,going to rodeos, fixing...

    What do ya know about dozers?

    Ok fellas got another question for you to offer some input on. I have a lot of big hedge trees/osage orange and old fence to rip out. I think I'm in need of a dozer as the chainsaw and bobcat routine is getting old. More than likely thinking I need to go with Cat for their reputation and ability...

    Annual Tractor Maintenance

    Just curious what everyone else does. I run three old Ford tractors; a 3000, 6600, and 9700. The past week I've had some downtime so I've been working them over pretty good trying to get 30+ year old tractors in as good a shape as possible for their age. I was curious what you all do for...

    Deciding on a brand?

    I know most of yall probably have had the same brand on the family ranch for a great many years but I live in Missouri, a non branding state. With the way the world is today and after reading current articles on rustlers in Missouri I am wanting to brand my heard. How did you guys decide on a...
