If I were you I'd DEFINITELY stay away from the oilless type compressors... They run a lot faster and charge up a lot faster, but their service life is terrible... As someone else mentioned burning one up doing spray painting, if you do any heavy work at all you'll be lucky to get a year or...

My Stihl chainsaw ran great for many years... right up to the day somebody stole it out of the garage... Hope they cut their head off with it! Guess I'll have to buy another... OL JR :)

I'm baling grass hay and no it doesn't heat up... I unroll all my hay when I feed at Shiner and it's as fresh and green colored and sweet inside as the day it was baled and smells like sweet flue cured tobacco. No heat, no mold, nothing but the good stuff... :) Now, with heavy fertilized...

My vote would be for Stihl... I had a Stihl 270 (I think that was the model) and it's the best saw I've ever seen. Keep the chain sharp and you can cut anything with it. Run Stihl oil in the gas and unleaded plus so you don't get the ethanol in it and it'll start on the third pull after...

From my experience, the wheel rakes tend to just slide the hay to the center; there is nowhere near the amount of rolling action that there is on a rolabar rake. Not that the hay doesn't roll AT ALL with a wheel rake, far from it, but the rolabar rake does a better job of rolling it over and...

Well, I'm just west of Houston on the Coastal plains, we're usually in the high 90's and humidity in the 80%+ range so I'd be pretty tempted to say if it works here it'll work darn near anywhere, at least in the Deep South where our sun is so fierce. Farther north where the sun is weaker...

Yeah I've got one and I love it! It's a handy dandy little thing and really makes nice clamps if you take a little time with it, and if you tap the cut ends of the wire down the clamps won't snag on anything... almost as good as a crimped hydraulic type fitting... really slick! Now, the...

That is one of the biggest misconceptions about making hay out there... "Hay should be dry before raking" WRONG WRONG WRONG!!! Hay should be at 50% moisture when raked for the highest quality and to minimize sunbleaching and weathering. 50% moisture is basically when it's wilted flat. I'm...

Do a web search for the hydra-drill water well drilling machine. Just google "hydra-drill" and you should come up with something. There is a company out of Arkansas I think that makes these things to drill your own wells. They're about a thousand bucks, but definitely cheaper than hiring...

I've got one of these in Blue Paint... sold by Ford as the 552 round baler back about 1980 or so. We were one of the first ones in this area to switch to round baling. Grandpa bought that one in about 80 or 81. We still have it and bale our hay with it every year, and I did custom baling with...

Depends on what kind of forage you're raking and the acreage too. The real benefit of wheel rakes is in large square or rectangular fields where you have a LOT of ground to cover, as you can go faster with wheel rakes. The downside is that on rough or rolling ground you will probably have more...

Yeah now I'd buy one of those in a heartbeat! I just don't consider something as getting 'good mileage' unless it's getting close to 40 mpg. I sure wouldn't change to a much smaller vehicle unless it were getting about 40 mpg. I've looked at the VW Beetle diesels for that reason. This is...

I run the 80,000 mile Continental LT/SUV 16's on my 02 F-150 SuperCrew run them all over the farm, wife drives the truck to school she teaches at 35-40 miles away everyday, and twice a year to Indiana and back from Houston area. Great tires and only about 90 bucks apiece at WalMart. The first...

Reminds me of an old country doctor who saw a boy carrying a brush and some acetone one day. The doctor asked him what he was doing with it. The boy asked the doctor why he wanted to know. The doctor, flustered, but determined to show the boy up, said, "well, if you rub acetone on a pregnant...

I did something quite similar with my old Dearborn subsoiler and it worked great. What I did though was to take a couple scrap pieces of 1/8 inch thick steel plate, about a foot or so wide and about 2 feet long, and make torch cuts in it about 2 or 3 inches long and then skip an inch or two, so...

That explains a lot... now I know why Ford/New Holland has gone to CRAP! (and I'm a Ford man...) (sigh) OL JR :)

Sounds like a bad regulator or isolation diode. Disconnect the battery cable and hook a test light between the battery post and cable end. The test light should not be lit with the switch off. If it is SOMETHING is drawing power and that is killing your batteries. Just disconnect stuff until...
