Thanks everyone, really appreciate learning from your experience. I did find the online user manual, one day I’ll read a manual first. (Not). High skid shoes are on the shopping list. The manual also refers to a “compensating spring” to increase/decrease down pressure of the cutter bar...

Hi everyone. I picked up a used disc mower, JD 275, and have a few questions as I’ve never used one before. I took it for a real quick test run, which seemed mostly successful, but I’m a few areas in soft sandy soil, it really dug in more than I’d like. Not to mention the gophers have really...

Don’t have the rake or mower yet either, but from what I’ve seen there are plenty of options that would work for the mentioned tractor. Guess I’m just concerned more about the baler and if that tractor would be sufficient.

Hi everyone. I’m researching baler requirements and thought I’d get some expert opinions here as well. I’d like to add a baler to the farm, nothing special or that will be heavily used (maybe 40 acres or so twice a year). With a JD 5075 tractor, HP rated 57 (43)@2100 PTO... is that sufficient...

Thanks all for the replies. Maybe I’m just not patient enough and it’ll die. Seems like the Grazon has a pretty noticeable impact on day 3, but don’t see any dead ones yet. I might hit them again. And fence, you’re correct in that these things whatever the heck they come up crazy fast, so I...

Hi everyone. Wondering if anyone has an idea of what this is and how to kill it? I sprayed with GrazonPD last week, and don’t see that it had much of an impact, even on the smaller weeds. Looks like the mesquite I hit had much better results, but these things look like they’re bouncing back...

Hello all. I've had such great help and tips from this site - I thought I'd ask what folks use to fertilize their pastures - and when. I'm in Goliad County, TX - with roughly 50 acres of pasture. It's not well maintained, but I plan on changing that. There's some coastal on it mixed with a...

Thanks guys for the replies - much appreciated!

I'm a little confused about how much Grazon to use in my sprayer. I'd like to add some to a 30 gallon sprayer pulled behind a 4 wheeler. It has a small 5 foot boom with three nozzles. (from tractor supply). Assumming I'm pulling at 3 mph - how much Grazon should I add to the 30 gallons of...

Thanks for the input everyone - I appreciate it. And Cabo - I am also interested in the best way to get the seeds to the right depth in the soil... I'll check into a cultipacker roller. Thanks again!

I was thinking 4 wheeler because I saw some pull behind 175 pound capacity spreaders out there, which I thought at ~10 lbs seed per acre would be sufficient. Also the cost of the spreader and ease of use made me think this might be a good way to go. But I'm open to suggestions. Thanks!

Hello, I have roughly 15 acres I'd like to spread some bermuda seed on this Spring - and another 30 acres next year if this goes well. I've disc'd the area and am looking for a good spreader to pull behind a 4 wheeler. Any advice? Also, once I've spread the seed, what's the best way to get it...

Thanks for the feedback and the advice - it's greatly appreciated.

I have about 100 acres that is in need of several years application of herbacide to reduce brush and weeds. My question is if using a 20' boom sprayer on the 3 point hitch pulled behind a tractor - at normal rates of speed and pressure, how long would a 200 gallon tank last before needing to...
