I disconnected all of the hoses and pushed on the coupler balls and let the pressure off of the hoses and cylinders. There did seem to be quit a bit of pressure. Hooked everything back up and it worked just fine. Is it possible that the grapple was shipped with pressure on the cylinders and...

I work at Westinghouse for years on large transformers. I can remember more than once when a truck driver would bring 6000 gallons of oil for filling a transformer. If there was oil left over they would put it in their fuel tank. I don't think I would put it in a $100,000 tractor as transformer...

I had to take off the loader for a few days but I took off all of the pressure on the hoses and grapple cylinders. Did not get to try it again. There was some air in the lines when I pressed on the couplers to let off pressure. I don't know a lot about hyd, systems. It seems like the oil had no...

I just got a new grapple for my 2016 New Holland Workmaster 50. I connected 2 new hoses to the rear remotes and tried to operate the grapple. The hoses jumped but nothing happens. I filled the new hoses with hyd. fluid before hooking up. I tried reversing the hoses at the rear remotes. No matter...

I have been looking at both and would like opinions. Both 4wd w/loader no cab. The large front tires on the 50 make me wonder about the turning radius (dealer couldn't find it). Why are the tires so big on New Holland? I like the Mahindra but have seen a few stories about deal/service issues...

I have been looking at a 7' Squealer (new) to mow some pastures. There is no brush just grass, some of it gets pretty thick at times. I have been using my neighbors 307, which is built like a tank and has no problem with thick grass. I would like to know if anyone has any advice on the Squealer...

We have wonder about mustard mixed in but think it unlikely. This stuff is all over the county and I'm sure the seed didn't come from the same place. At $5-6 per pound I would sure like to think you would get good seed.

All of my neighbors have wild mustard growing like crazy this year. My question is, why is it only in the alfalfa? I just have grass hay and not one mustard plant, look over the fence and the alfalfa field is a sea of yellow. How do you get rid of it without destroying the alfalfa? My neighbor...

I use a 25 gal Fimco sprayer on my 4 wheeler to spray some smaller places. I have tried to figure how much 2,4,D Amine to mix per gallon. The instructions don't say, the folks where I buy it aren't sure and every neighbor I ask has a way different answer from the next. I just want to run my 7'...

I found a partial roll the same way with my bush hog. It took me lots of bad words a bolt cutter and a six pack to get mine unrolled.

Is the oak still green? Deck sealers with color in them tend to offer more protection because the UV inhibitors are in the color. When buying a sealer you get what you pay for. The guy on the local "fix it" show says sealer is about $10 per gallon per year. Meaning $20 per gallon should last 2...

I agree with the other guy, DO NOT blast it if you don't dismantle. As stated you will have grit in places you never thought possible and cause more problems than you ever thought possible.

I talked to the folks at Barn Paint.Com, they told me the acrylic is the better product and is also cheaper. As for the tar and diesel mix, 3 years ago I mixed 5 gals. tar, burnt oil and diesel making 15 gallons of homemade "creosote". Someone on this site had put it in tips and tricks. I soak...

My neighbor works his big pulling horses with a sled every day. The horse flies land on their backs and he swats them by hand. He then picks them up and pulls the head off. I asked him why he does that even though the guts are hanging out. He said that way he is for certain if they happen to get...

I need to paint some barns that have been neglected for awhile. Here in Kentucky most of the barns are black. I can get acrylic or asphalt paint and was wondering which one holds up best. I have also seen some lacquer type black fence paint. these are my neighbors barns and he want me to spray...

Thanks for the info. I know I would have to reinforce the cut outs. I try to clip my fields at 14" if I can get to it. I keep my blades sharp and set at 8 inches. I didn't think about the lifting created by the blades. I'm glad I asked before I got the torch and welder out. I suppose I will...

I have a 307 (7') Bushhog cutter which has 2 wheels in the back. When I cut it seems like the bulk of the grass is thrown to the left and right sides of the deck, where it falls down and is run over by the wheels. My cutter has chains on the front and rear and you would think the grass would be...

I have a 7' bosh hog and hate the "brown stripes" it leaves a few days after cutting. I was wondering if anyone has ever cut the sides of their bush hog out so that the grass goes out the sides better and not pile up for the rear wheels to run over. I assume if one was to cut the sides out you...

What do you mean by the angle of the pulley?

Thanks for the advice I will check it out.
