I just purchased a Ford 4000 with a 772 FEL. The bucket is rough. I'd like to put a spear on the FEL. Are the pin locations "standard" or do I need a Ford specific adapter? Would you recommend a quick attach plate or just a pin on spear (Is "pin on" even the right term)? I'd rather not put a...

I received a free series 51 spreader. The previous owner said that it "ran when parked", but the wood is bad enough that I don't want to try it until I replace some of it. I'm not restoring it for show. I need to use it. Are there kits? Patterns? Is it all 1"? Preferred material? Hard wood...

The last thread on bale unrollers is from 2008. Anyone have recent experience that could recommend one, or features to look for? Peirce looks like the cheapest and also looks like the arms may break off. I was unrolling by pushing the bales with the FEL, but rolled over a lamb this spring. I...

I built a prototype hay sled to move round bales that are too heavy for my MF1250. I'm having a 3rd year engineering class engineer something that should hold up much better. There is a local student run high school fabrication business that I plan on talking to about listing them as a...

I posted before about a rough rocky field. Looks like picking up rocks will become the nightly walk for a while. I'll try to get the field rolled, if I can find anyone, but I've not heard of anyone with a roller. My hay guy complained that the rocks damaged his mower and the rough field was...

I recently bought 20 acres with the plan of making hay now and transitioning to pasture as my flock of sheep grows. First thing I did was look for help. The seed guy suggested tilling it up, because the field had been plowed about 5 years ago and was very, very rough (like too rough to using a...

My PTO shaft wobbles just a bit. Dad didn't completely disconnect the rotary mower and ended up backing over half the PTO shaft last summer. I think the PTO output is bent on the tractor, so I'm trying to remove it. It looks like it's held in with a snap ring and a pressed in bearing. Should...
