I go over the savings with my customers often. Seems a lot of people want an instant lawn or field. Where it is left to me I much prefer seeding grass areas and planting very small trees. I think it increases the chance for more uniform root structures leading to less weeds too...
I agree with Rob and 84 " tiller with large 6 tine flanges will require more tractor, probably 40 pto hp as a minimum. Turning a tiller can load an engine down. If watch your temperature gauge over an hour you may overheat. That's with a 35 hp tractor and tiller.
I know nothing about your...
I operated my friends new Kubota this past week with a pto rear phd. Nice small tractor, everything worked well except the treadle pedal. This one was not smooth in application, poor control of tractor movement. I used the low range to position for holes and that helped a little.
I admit my...
If you are looking for a f450 keep in mind that the f550 also offers the wide front axle. I have an f550 with 165" width with 4x4. Theoretically it can turn inside of my f250 with 158"wb extended cab 8ft bed. Ford started these with the 2005 models, I was amazed how much tighter it turned...
I agree with the idea and interests in developing a hybrid tractor......in theory. But I will likely just wait and see what the big boys come out with if I live that long.
Improvements and advancements are being made though. My next trolling motor batteries will be Lithium Iron type. In...
I agree with rScotty for the most part. I am located in the mountains of New Mexico. Similar conditions to deal with and I have worked my equipment in Durango CO area too..
I still have a 110 tlb with Laurin cab and a 4520 cab tractor. I have been very satisfied with the 110tlb. I purchased...
Hey thought I would check in with you. I am still living in Ruidoso New Mexico. Not doing much but still playing with tractors and dirt. Steve Jenkins jenkinsph.
Everytime I rework the driveway edges I use a rear blade to gather the rock out of the low spots where it migrates to. My rear blade is pretty heavy. About 10 years ago I purchased a small and lightweight 5' rear blade for my mower to push snow off asphalt driveways without damaging the...
The sweeper is great. Backpack k blower Stihl 850 will blow and roll 3" gravel if you get down on it. Blower is good for city jobs and confined spaces.
My favorite though would be a pinestraw rake. I have raked the straw and pine cones for many years using my x749 deere mower with 3 ph...
I built a 48" wide land plane for my x749 mower. It knows it is back there but it works fairly well.
My neighbor has a bx 23 hp if He has time we will hook on to it with his tractor and give it a try.I will get some pics for you.
This field is close, meaning everything is getting watered from top to bottom. If you can allow it to soak in the ground then watering once every two weeks works satisfactorily. Every four days would be closer to optimum though..
Jim you are correct in method for filling inwhere the puddles are. But for large fields just recognize that with flood irrigation it is easy to see where the undisturbed "high ground " is. So without any other tools you can pull with a box blade the dry dirt to the damp spots. Simple cut and...
