Curious as to what you all might be paying to have a woven wire fence on wood posts put up? Thanks

We have been putting in literally thousands of feet of woven wire fencing on treated wood posts on my farm this year. That of course means drilling lots of holes in sometimes Rocky soil. My tractor supply post hole auger is not very heavy duty and it looks like the key on the main gear shaft has...

I have a 1997 John Deere gator 6 x 4. I love this machine, but the frame is rusted and I fear she’s not going to be with me much longer. I use my gator almost every day year-round for hauling crap running out to fix fences, hauling water to the pastures, etc. I am really toying with the idea of...

I wasn’t really sure where to post this but this seems like maybe the right place. Do any of you have experience with portable fabric garages? I am looking at one from portable garage Depot. The prices seem very good but want to make sure the quality is there as well. I’m pretty sure I would...

The 2024 hay season is now behind me. Pretty rough first cutting with all the wet spring weather we had but second cutting turned out very nice. Just sharing a few pictures of my hay weapons. The haybine looks pretty crusty, but it is pretty trusty. The baler did not miss a tie this year.

As I get deeper into this farming thing, I’m adding more powered equipment in the cab. I have a nav system, camera system, bail thrower controller, and now a hay preservative system. Everything takes power, and I don’t want a rats nest of power leads coming from the battery into the cab. How...

I farm on a very small scale - 10 acres of hay to feed a flock of 20 sheep, plus a little custom no-tilling for friends but still have some of the same needs of larger farmers. These include efficiency and cost effectiveness. I upped my game last year with the purchase of a Great Plains NT...

Does anyone else have an Argo that they plow snow with? I recently picked up an avenger 8 x 8 with a plow on the front. Damn, that thing is a beast pushing snow it has tracks and a 7 foot blade and can really clear some space. I used it tonight to clear a foot of snow out of the barnyard, and it...

I don’t see much out there about the larger LS tractors so I thought I would give you an update on mine. I currently have 160 hours on my LSMT7101. I bought this last October after a bit of frustration with an MT 573. I had electrical gremlins that just couldn’t be fixed and the dealer bought...

Hello. Does anyone have a stabilizer solution for a Ford 2610/2810/3910? The hitch sways side to something awful. I have a stabilizer bar but that doesn’t work with a quick hitch. The restraining chains are in place but that just keeps it from swaying all the way over end of the tires. My...

Hi there. I recently picked up a new to me NH 575 Square baler. I went through and got it ready for the field and hooked it up to test things out. Everything went fine, thank goodness. I do have one question: with the PTO shaft attached, there is 7 inches of shaft exposed and 5 inches still in...

hi there. I am new to hay production So please forgive me if this is a stupid question. I have 10 acres of orchard grass and alfalfa hay ground in the central upper peninsula of Michigan. With last year‘s drought it produced 1.25 tons of hay per acre. I did fertilize last year according to soil...

I moved to snow country a year ago and needed a big tractor to run a big snowblower. I am an hour from Kubota dealer, three hours from a John Deere dealer, and about 45 minutes from an LS dealer. Everyone speaks highly of the LS dealer, for good reason, so I went with an LSMT 573. Unfortunately...

Hi there, I am relocating from Southern Tennessee to the upper Peninsula of Michigan in September in the owner of the house that I am purchasing is selling an LS P7040 cps with a loader and an Erskine 925FM snowblower. Currently having a Ford 2610, Farmall 140 and JD 670, this is a big step up...

Hi all. I have been lurking here for a while and figured it痴 time that I contribute. I have been looking for a more convenient way to fertilize and apply weed control to my 1 acre yard as well as handle spot spraying duties. Since TSC is close to me I looked at their selection. I didn稚...
