    Why won't my new grapple operat?

    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...

    new holland workmaster 50 or Mahindra 2555?

    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...

    BUSH HOG Squealer - OK or Junk

    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...

    Mustard and alfafa

    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'...

    bush hog question

    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...

    Case/IH 485 Air filter light stays on?

    I noticed my idiot light on the other day so I pulled the air filters and blew them out. The small inner filter looked like new and the larger filter had some light dust. I blew the large filter until noting else would come out. Looking at it with my "old" eyes it looks good. That's not to say...

    What causes thick green semi-circles in a pasture?

    I have noticed thick dark green semi circles about 1' wide by about 10' long in some of my pastures. The grass is much darker and thicker than the grass around them.First thing that comes to mind is that a cow crapped in a 10' arch, but I haven't had any cows in there for 2 years. If my whole...

    question about barn roof

    I have just spent a lot of time and money putting 40 year metal on my 100 year old Tobacco barn. We have had 10" of rain this month and the roof leaks in spots. It has old 5V metal on it and I just can't afford to replace it. I keep it coated good every 3 years with aluminized paint. I have...

    Barn door track question.

    I am getting ready to put metal on my barn and get rid of the old sliding doors. I am trying to figure out what is the best track system for new doors. My neighbor likes the Cannonball but says that it is pretty expensive. The old style square track I have now tends to come apart on occasion at...

    CAT 951C Loader, Wiring diagram

    I am trying to find a copy of the wiring diagram for this loader. I'm not having much luck or I'm looking in the wrong places. My neighbor has an old 951C and has problems getting it to start. We have it narrowed down, we think, to the ignition switch but aren't sure. I was trying to find a copy...

    Butchering a flighty steer

    I am getting ready to have a steer butchered and he is still a little on the flighty side. My question is, how long does it take for the adrenalin to work its way out of the meat after the "last ride"? The man that I want to process the steer may be willing to come to the farm and shoot him on...

    Tire driving me crazy!

    The front tire on my tractor goes flat every 2 weeks. We got rid of the inner tube 2 months ago and started using Slime (honey locust thorns). Yesterday I took it off of the tractor and put 45 psi in it and stuck it in the water tank. I forced it under water and held it there for 20 minutes, the...

    Put in a new battery now it runs bad?

    I put a new battery in my 2004 E350 Ford van W/V10 and now it runs like crap. The van ran perfectly before we changed the battery now it wants to stall and just runs poorly. I checked all around and am sure we did not bump anything or knock a Vac. hose off. Does the computer have to "re-learn"...

    New calves a little wild!

    I just got 3 500-600 pound calves from my neighbor 7 days ago. They got shots, wormed and taken to a scale to get weighed. They have been in the corral for 7 days and are still pretty jumpy. My question is, how long will it take for them to settle down? I have been going up twice a day and...

    urea VS. ammonium nitrate

    I tried to do a search, but as usual the search is not working. What is the difference between these two? My neighbor just fertilized his fields and used urea. He tells me its 46% nitrogen and cheaper than ammonium nitrate. The last time I bought a buggy of A.N. for my field I thought the FBI...

    Wagyu- Limo. cross?

    My neighbor has 3 Wagyu- Limo. cross calves that I am thinking about buying. Has anyone ever tried a steak from such a cross? It seems to me that they would make a pretty good beef. Any pros and cons on this cross? Thanks Joe

    Power steer. cyl.- HELP!

    I have taken my neighbors power steering cyl. off of his MF 50 and can not figure out how to get the control valve apart. The main cylinder came right apart, but the control valve which is part of the casting has me stumped. The book says to push in on the valve and stick a pin punch down into a...
