    Unsecured hay hauling

    The OP doesn’t state what kind of trailer is being used. Hay specific trailers don’t require straps and aren’t designed with places to attach straps. Flat bed trailers are another story and even farmers and ranchers here in Oklahoma get ticketed for unsecured loads in many cases. I’ve hauled...

    Ford V10 Mileage Towing- REAL WORLD

    Here are a couple that I could find right off. One as it is ready to trade in and one in its working clothes. I actually like the V-10 pretty much for what I am doing with the truck. My biggest gripe is the thing my wife likes best about the truck. I am just not used to towing with an...

    Alligator Belt Laces

    Hey guys if you did like I did and just ran the heck out of your baler last year you better check the hinge pins on your "Gator" laces. MF says to change them every 800 to 1000 bales and I have seen other manufactures say somewhere in the 1000 to 1200 bale range. I ran mine 2058:o. I had to...

    rear mounted disc mower/conditioners

    Here is a pic of the back of another brand of caddy. The top link is still in plastic in the photo. This brand is a bit simplier in design(and they claim to be the original disc mower caddy company), but the KMC that Darin has is really hard to beat.

    231S clutch sticking

    BIL and sis have a 231S that is about 4 years old with around 150 hrs on it. It sits outside and is not used much at all especially in the winter. They told me last week the clutch was sticking down(apparently doing this for awhile) and that you had to pull it up with a foot to get it to...

    Taurus "The Judge" or??

    Taurus International Manufacturing Inc - Taurus Judge 3" Video I know a lot of you have probably seen the commercial, but I thought the video was pretty neat. My local gun dealer has a couple of Judges in and a couple more coming. I am really thinking about getting one for a carry gun(in...

    rear mounted disc mower/conditioners

    As a comparison here are some shots of mine last year on the Montana and on the MF 5455. Darin's mower is bigger as he mentioned. I have been told several times that if I would try a caddy, that I wouldn't go back to using them on the 3pt. That expense is not currently an option this year...

    6640

    I am somewhat familiar with the 6610 and have run one quite a few hours. I have run across an ad for a 6640. 2 wd, cab/air(supposedly working) claiming 2500 hrs. Pics of it look nice, with good paint(fresh paint always worries me) and decent looking rubber. They list it as an 87 hp tractor...

    Spring In Oklahoma

    Ok, I know Will Rogers said that if you didn't like the weather in Oklahoma, just stick around 5 minutes and it would change, but this is ridiculous.:p 70's and T-storms yesterday with hail. T-storms going here right now, but I have the 3 popup warnings on the bottom of the computer screen...

    5455

    I had my 5455 in the shop last week for a faulty A/C evaporator. A neighbor was discussing with me a church wed. night how much of a price jump new JD's and CaseIH's have taken, so when I picked up my tractor today I asked about the new 5455's on the lot. With a FEL they have gone up 11 grand...

    P9084C at the Tulsa farm show.

    I looked at the new big tractor of the Montana line at the Tulsa farm show last weekend. It looks like it is going to be a nice step up in the Montana line and a machine actually big enough to use as round baler tractor. The P9084C is rated at 88 hp, the new P8084C is rated at 80 hp and the...

    Hands and Horse/Mule Traders

    There are quite a fews sites and books that tell you how to measure the height of a horse and I can see how that ground conditions and differences in opinion about what is the "correct" way could make an inch or even two difference, but what is the biggest difference between what you have gone...

    Contender Questions 357 Max & 256 Win Mag

    I have been searching for a new toy for a bit.;) I was looking for a 44 Mag to play with and stumbled across a TC Contender with 5 barrels that I just could not pass up instead. I had a Contender once before in 223 that was a great gun, but got stupid and sold it awhile back:(. Anyway my...
