Both wheel seals on each side are leaking. Before you go digging into the wheel seal for replacement. There's a couple small tricks you can try. First, drill a 1/16 hole in the fluid dipstick so the axle can vent and not pressurize. The other option is to replace the fluid in the axle...

KTGR- I get it. I have had a small farm operation for about 10 years and still working on making a profit from it. But it is probably one of the best environments for raising kids teaching responsibility, perseverance and work ethic. As for a sickle mower. Look for a 3 point and not a...

You really have to look into cost analysis before investing $$ for two acres hay. But buying hay especially small squares can get pricey in a hurry. Hay equipment typically goes along the adage you get what you pay for but for small operations older farm implements can be picked up pretty...

thanks for posting this. There's also a lot of vids on Youtube doing rebuilds of these as well. Well laid out PDF.

Do a search on amazon and then follow with research on youtube on bluetooth hearing aids. Essentially what it does is allow your phone to do all the work. They will automatically adjust via the phone or you can adjust manually through the phone app. When a call comes in it syncs immediately...

Its not just China. The AFA (affordable care act) allocated 80 billion for green energy. Windmills are yesterdays news, Today its solar panels. Power companies are leasing ag land for 30 years for a 1000 an acre. For most farmers this is a far higher profit margin then the are making...

Whenever I have to install woven wire fence I always reinforce the starting post with something heavy. Typically a vehicle or tractor with a chain or tow strap. Unroll the length or til the next corner and then stretch it. Even a well anchored corner post can uproot and a little insurance is...

The EPA is one of the strongest government agencies with little to no oversight. Regulations they can just create and implement. Tier 5 is looking to do a 75 to 90% increased reduction from Tier 4 whether the technology is available to make it happen or not. Hopefully its not like the Ford...

Hopefully the OP can reply soon to what they are defining as native grass. When I hear native grass I'm thinking indiangrass, big and little bluestem and switchgrass. But these are prairie grasses you typically wouldn't want them in your lawn unless you were not planning on not cutting and you...

Lou is right. Actually 30% is about perfect for haylage. The key point in the process is that you have to wrap it to eventually starve it of oxygen. Once you bale, you've take all the moisture trapped inside and gave it an escape route. As it tries to perspire (ie. breakdown) its going to...

Soil looks pretty smooth and already well prepped but looks can be deceiving. 1st I would take a shovel and just see how hard the soil actually is. If you can't penetrate it with a shovel seed don't have much of a chance. If you can then things get a lot easier. Native grass seeds...

If the tractor moves by doing the bypass you can operate it but caution must be utilized because your seat safety switch is no longer functioning. That means PTO will operate without you in the seat and if climbing on off the tractor and you accidentally bump the direction lever the tractor...

Most likely seat safety switch. Flip seat up disconnect the wiring from the seat and then test by putting a small wire or paper clip into the wire connector to close the circuit. If that works then your seat safety switch is bad but its an easy fix though.

I've have searched for "retired" silage/feed choppers but all are too big and would require a forage wagon. I am looking more alone a type of unit that I could shred feed as needed. I tried a stand alone chipper shredder once with different screens attached and the unit didn't work as well...

I been looking for unit that essentially I want to use as a feed/silage chopper. So basically I will be running hay or cornstalks through it and then putting that into a pellet maker for animal feed. All the youtube vids I've watched nothing is showing a unit doing the task I want except...
