    rear wheel on bush hog

    Should the "rear wheel" on a bush hog contact the ground while mowing or just hover above. The dealer lost my instruction manual and I'd wrather ask you guys vs. them. Thanks

    no till drill

    I've got a 4 acre field that I just broadcast seeded a pasture blend seed mix. Should I have used a no-till drill? What would I expect to pay for a no-till drill? Bye the way, I'll be pulling it with a MF 1428 (28HP) Thanks for your help.

    rotary mower vs. finish mower

It still needs to be seeded etc. There is currently grass there but it is a mix of all kinds of stuff (the stuff that grows when a previously farmed field is let go).

    TC24D

    I keep "hearing" people rave about their 24Ds. Does everyone really like them? What can't they do? I have about 4-8 acres that needs finish mowing. Would I regret something sub 30HP? I really need to buy something soon. Feedback would be great. Thanks.

    Kubota 7500 vs Kubota 7800 vs New Holland TC24D
