Why are you making him get a bank loan, going through the trouble and expense, just to repay you? If I'm doing this for my son, I would propose to him that I buy the truck and he can pay me back when his truck sells. No reason to involve a bank.

I'll chime in from a livestock perspective. What is the owner currently doing with the land? Is there any potential for another farmer to lease the land? Most of the time, 10 acres isn't enough to justify a farmer coming a long distance to take care of livestock or cut hay. Not sure how prices...

Nice looking building. Good work. A friend of mine owns a roofing company and had a lot of leftover material from jobs that they thought they would use but didn’t. He wanted to get them out of his way so I picked them up and built a roof for my camper. Only cost $500-600 in wood, concrete, and...

No big plans here. Just finished maintenance on my hay rake. Next up is the Tedder. Did pick up a neighbor’s parcel to cut next year. Bushhogged it this fall and going to spray and fertilize it in the spring if the landowner will sign a written contract for the next few years.

This is exactly why I got into haying. In middle TN, we always have a perfect window to make hay at the end of May or beginning of June. Everyone cuts their own land and hay first, and I got tired year after year of having my quality hay sit while I waited on somebody to custom bale it. After...

I would recommend shopping your local Craigslist and FB marketplace and find deals. You already have an adequate tractor for most mowers and balers, so if you find deals on equipment that has been taken care of, I would jump on it and start building your equipment up. That is exactly what I...

Here is a list on TractorData of NH tractors by the years. Looks like the WM 55 was made from 09-14 and then again from 2018 - present. I would find your serial number and call your local dealer and they should be able to tell you the year. Doesn't appear to be readily available online...

Congrats on the new truck! Be wary of the 6.4L engine... it has a horrible reputation.

Also, in regards to county extension agents, I agree about meeting and speaking to them. The main thing to keep in mind, at least in my area in TN, is that our county agents won’t recommend spraying. They can identify weeds all day long but not recommend what herbicide to spray due to regulations.

I sprayed Duracor on hay and pasture ground for the first time this spring. $100 2.5 gallon jug covered 10 acres. It worked very well - cleaned up my hay - and has a residual value. I much prefer it to 2-4-D.

Hauled my buddy’s M7060 and disc mower to my farm to help with hay. Truck and trailer pulled great. Also, we had not secured the tractor yet when I took this photo. We did chain everything down.

Been working on my new to me John Deere 430. Had to fix the pto shaft and give her a good cleaning and maintenance. She’s ready to go now. We are hoping to cut next week, weather permitting.

I just purchased a 435 to run behind my 55 HP tractor. Although I’m sure my tractor would run it, I’m nervous about what will happen when I get a full bale and I’m on a hill. My hay partner has a 70 hp kubota so we are going to start baling with it and then try my tractor on flat ground. While...

Here’s my truck and trailer in action, hauling hay in from one of our fields. 06 Ram 3500 Cummins mega cab and 14K Gator equipment trailer.

Here’s a photo where you can see them better. The boss approves of the new trailer!

Well, here she is! The dealer said a couple of wires had been crossed and it was an easy fix. Turn signals worked, lights worked, brake controller worked, everything is good! She is now home in the barn and will get ready for her first light load of hauling square bales this weekend. I’m going...

I am looking for a 20’, 10K trailer. It will be hooked up to my 08 Tundra that is able to tow 10,400 lbs. I have a brake controller and am looking into a WD hitch. It will be used to haul my tractor, other farm equipment, and hay. I have it narrowed down to a gator 10K that I can get through...

I saw this at the local tractor supply. I think he is just a bit overloaded...

Ran my box blade up and down my driveway 4 times! It was much needed. Before & after pics Still not perfect, but my tractor died, so it's good enough for now!

After running my 2555 for several hours this afternoon, she suddenly died on me. I was running a box blade down my driveway and it cut off. I popped the hood and checked all connections to no avail. I did, however, see a puff of smoke coming from what I now know is the starter. The starter was...

I'm looking at purchasing a 2555 Shuttle with loader. The tractor will either be financed with no payments til January and 2.99% for 60 after that so I can avoid the $1500 fee or financed with 0% for 72, but I have to pay the $1500 financing fee plus I won't be eligible for the $1000 cash...

I purchased 45 acres last year and now I need a truck for farm use. I have an SUV for my daily driver so I don't need a crew cab or anything special. I just want something that will be reliable and haul a few cattle and a ~50 HP tractor that I will soon be purchasing. A guy has a chevy 3500...

I'm going to look at a MF 135 tractor tomorrow. It has the Perkins diesel, power steering, aux hydraulics. Not sure on hours, tires look to be in good shape. I'm not sure of the year either; I'll check the serial number when i look at it tomorrow. What should I be looking for in particular? This...

I recently purchased a 47 acre farm and I found an old hay elevator when cleaning up. It says John Deere on the side - anybody have any idea what model it is or what it would be worth? I don't want to take it to the scrap yard and would appreciate any information!
