    Ranch road project

    We had a weekend without rain so I was able to shred about 25 acres of pasture and use the new Woods land plane on the ranch road. First, while I struggled with decision regarding a cab or open station tractor, I'm so glad I choose the cab. Inside the cab I was nice and cool, enjoying the music...

    Not Haying but How to Deal with Strewn Hay

    I have several places where hay was placed over winter (in rings) that have spilled hay on the ground. What's the best way to deal with that so I can get the grass back growing under it? Disc it in? (that will likely slow down grass growth as the ground will be disturbed). Depending on depth of...

    New P7010C

    Yeah, the barn is new, as barns go. It was built in 2012. I haven't used the middle section much. Eventually, I'll add electricity and use it for a work shop. IHR

    New P7010C

    Well, the tractor arrived Sunday morning as promised. The only problem was the day was a washout. IT rained the entire day. The ground was so wet I couldn't do much of anything. The good news is I could ride around in it without getting wet! :thumbsup: It will take me some time to get used to...

    New P7010C

    After checking out the XU5065PS and the P7010C I pulled the trigger on the 7010. While it's more tractor than I need at this moment, I'm wanting to add some acreage for hay production after I retire (not anytime soon). I really liked the larger space inside the cab and all the standard features...

    Price and review of LS XU5065PS

    I'm looking at a new XU5065PS. Is under $30k reasonable? That price is "out the door" prepped and tires loaded. I really like the PS feature and the downdraft exhaust for clearance. I'm not terribly fond of the chrome on the front end but I guess that's ok. It just seems out of place on a...

    Price Check  LS XU5065PS

    I'd appreciate any feedback on pricing for this model (LS XU5065PS). I'm hoping to get one in the $28 range out the door (no taxes - ag exempt) Is that unrealistic? Thanks

    Road Grader

    What is the best size and brand of Road Grader/Scraper to recondition a hard packed limestone rock road. My tractor is 65 HP so I feel I could pull a 6 -7 footer no problem. The road is about 1500' long and 8-9 ft wide (more or less). I'd like to keep the price reasonable so no hydraulics. Thanks

    Comparison  LS Tractors

    I'm looking at a new Case 75C or NH T4.75. I noticed LS tractors online but know nothing about them. Does anyone have one and recommend them? It seems strange they can offer so much for so cheap? Would I be safer going with a tried and true brand? Thanks
