    Priefert SO4

    Brute, got any update on how you like the SO4? I’m in about the same boat as you were. Have an old wooden chute in need of replacement with just a Model 91 headgate which I really like. By the time I were to rebuild all of the doors and such the way it is now, I think I’m way ahead to finally...

    110 mig welder????

    I’m gonna go for the Miller or Hobart one of these days that runs on both 110 or 220. Seems like the most flexible option for sure. Maybe Santa will bring one for me...

    Recent Equipment Auctions ?

    I went to one last weekend and the crowd was huge and it seemed like everything that wasnt total junk was bringing top dollar. I was hoping to find a few deals but all I bought was a couple hot dogs and drinks and I’m not too sure I got a good deal on them either.

    John Deere Tractors...............

    My 5 year old daughter got one before she was hardly walking and has ran the wheels off of it almost literally. I think the front end is getting worn out from going over too many ramps and doing too many wheelies. She would hold it in reverse then yank it into second never even lifting her...

    What kind of rotary mower do you like?

    Just wanted to give a follow up and thank everybody for the input. Went for a 15' batwing over a 10' and so far I'm glad I did. Found a used John Deere 1518 locally. Older machine but appears to be lightly used and not abused and well maintained. Found one wing hinge bracket is cracked and...

    Best radiator stop leak.

    K-Seal. Blue bottle with an orange label. Not cheap but it works when others won't. No chunks or pieces to clog up other passages. I've used it several times with very good results that actually lasted. Most parts stores around here seem to carry it.

    Air conditioner question

    I used to do HVAC. Pull a vacuum. It will work much better and last much longer. That's one shortcut that's not worth taking. And don't just run the pump long enough to watch the gauge go down. That may get the air out but not the moisture. Go find something else to do for awhile. Keep...

    Disc bine Conditioning Rolls ?

    I might know that guy :hide: :lol: For the record it still works fine... There is a procedure to set the gap but I'm sure if they are worn too far it doesn't matter. I find I have to adjust the pressure also depending on the crop. There is a company that will refurbish or recover them...

    What kind of rotary mower do you like?

    I'd like to do more spraying and less clipping, but I can't see getting away from it altogether. For starters I'm simply understocked for the cows to keep after the grass in spring. I cut some hay where I can keep them off awhile. I'm in the process of trying to do more fencing to make...

    What kind of rotary mower do you like?

    Thanks for the replies. Local dealer has a couple used Bushhog 2615s on the lot I may have to look into, they seem to have good reviews. Have a good relationship with them, I'm sure they would let me try one out to see how I like it.

    Tractor tire brand?

    Hard to beat the Firestones in my book.

    What kind of rotary mower do you like?

    So maybe I should look a little harder into a batwing and keep the 7' for the small stuff? Do most batwings require 3 remotes? I only have 2.

    What kind of rotary mower do you like?

    I'm thinking of upgrading rotary mowers before next year and I'm not 100% sure what to get. Currently have a John Deere 709 which is a 7' 3pt mower. Works ok, but I hate how it doesn't follow the contour of the ground very well. If you go over a knoll or through a dip it either rides up and...

    NI vs. NH discbines ?

    Not quite, but I think I found a way to make it fit in the dumpster! It was mangled up pretty good.

    NI vs. NH discbines ?

    I know... I complain about him tearing stuff up then that happens! To be fair I usually end up doing the repairs. I was amazed it didn't do any damage that time though.

    NI vs. NH discbines ?

    I can't say much about the NI but I can say our NH 7220 has given me nothing to complain about. My grandfather has put it through hell, it's hit it's fair share of fences, rocks and other things it's not fond of. I went over it this winter and had it all ready to go with new knives and all...

    Atv flats

    I've had good luck with the Ultraseal from Gemplers. More expensive than Slime but seems to work much better.

    Truck Tires

    I used to have good luck with Coopers and Hankooks but the quality went downhill several years ago. Local tire dealer used to sell the crap out of Coopers, won't even let a set go out the door now because he says they are so bad after being sold to some Indian company or something. Had a...

    Big Gasser Trucks

    I'm happy with our 6.4 Hemi in a '15 Ram 3500 so far, but that's not in your price range. I bailed on a new diesel due to the price and maintenance as well. Emissions has ruined them.
