Who has one??? I killed a deer yesterday and my FIL suggested a cuber. I've always done it the old fashioned way (cleaver), but he swears by his cuber. He lives almost 2 hours away or I would borrow his. He has an LEM meat cuber - Yahoo! Search Results ($200.00 @ Academy) . I've also...

Each year we plant a pumpkin crop. Four years ago it was 1/4 acre. Then we expanded to 3 acres and planted that many for two years. This year we planted 6 acres. 3 acres at my grandfather's (close to his pond) and 3 acres at our house (close to our pond). We use 2" pacer pumps to water...

Anybody own a set of these??? I need a set of pallet jacks to move pallets of fertilizer (2000 #) and Bins of pumpkins around in the barn (less than 1000#). Would be used a few times a month, except in the fall they would be used a few times a day (when moving pumpkins) I can buy a "good" set...

I've really enjoyed the projects here on TBN and have been very motivated by them sometimes. The most recent project that I have undertook is the moving of a 16x30 barn that was in the field in front of our house. We had Boer Goats for several years and I built the barn as a shelter for the...

I need some suggestions on security cameras and recorders. I'm the assistant chief of our Volunteer Fire Department. We've had some issues with people doing donuts in the parking lot (tar and gravel) and now someone has stolen our U.S. flag :mad: . It's a 6x10 on top of a 40' pole. Kinda...

Last year we bought two Tamworth pigs (as weaners) and finished them out on pasture. Tamworths are a Heritage breed and do very well on pasture. They will "graze" and eat grass, nuts, etc... We also supplemented them with ground ear corn (that we raised) and some commercial hog finisher. We...

I bought a 1966 Farmall 140 last week with cultivators and side dress attachment with hopper. I want to change all the fluids. Engine: I plan to use Castrol 10w30. Is that o.k.??? Transmission: What do I need to use 80-90W gear oil or hydraulic fluid? The local Kubota dealer (also sells...

Back during the winter I bought a couple JD 71 Flex Planters. They did not come with a toolbar. I found a used toolbar and bought it from another farmer. The problem is the mounts for the 3pt hitch were exactly at 30". I wanted to mount my planters at 30", but settled on mounting them...

How would one go about adding an hour meter to something like a Pacer Pump. Pacer Pumps - Gas Driven S Series Pumps - EconoAg . The directions to the pump say to change the oil every XX hours. It seems that if a piece of equipment told you to change the oil every XX hours that they would...

I'm wanting to add a 100-150 gallon on farm tank. I've looked all over for a used tank. My grandfather has a 150 gallon tank, but I'm having problems finding one used that size. Everything I'm finding is 300-500 gallons. We knocked around the idea of a 55 gallon drum, but could only get 3-4...

I have an M4800 kubota. It has one factory remote. I just added a HTL and would like to add a Hydraulic Side Link. Kubota wants about $600.00 each for remotes. I'm thinking of using Surplus Center parts and constructing my own. I would like to tie into the Power Beyond port on my loader...

I am looking at adding a second remote to me Kubota M4800SU. The one remote installed now is a SCD or Self Cancelling Remote. I have to bungee it in place to use the hydraulic log spliiter. I mostly use this remote to run my grapple. Kubota also offers a FD or Float Type remote. I want to...

I have found 4 JD 71 Planters in a local farmers barn. I am contemplating buying then and Building a two row planter. He'll give me a better deal on all 4 and then I can sell the other two to someone else. Questions: Does the toolbar have to be solid bar for a two row planter or can it be...

I have a Tatro Grapple on my Tractor. I'm not real happy with the clamping force. It uses a 2x10x1.25 Hydraulic cylinder from Surplus Center. This cylinder shows a Column Load (pushing force) of 7854 lbs. at 2500 psi. I need a cylinder on my Corn Picker to raise and lower the snout. This...

I plan to buy a 4010 Transmule this week. Here are my questions: 1. Diesel or Gas. I WANT the diesel, but can get a fuel injected gas version for $1500.00 less. Is the diesel worth the extra cost???? 2. How much gas does the gas version use??? I have a Grasshopper with a 23HP Kohler and...

My grandfather has a 1984 3610. He was having problems with it cranking and I checked the starter and battery. Turns out the alternator had quit charging and was not maintaining the battery. I had the alternator rebuilt and the gentleman that did it added an external regulator to the...

I'm looking at a New Idea 309 one row corn picker. I'm planning on planting about 2 acres of Pioneer Field corn to pick and feed to my goats, chickens, and maybe a pig and steer. I may also sell some ear corn. If the ear corn sells well I might expand and plant more acreage in the future...

Hey guys and gals, I'm thinking about getting a few chickens (8 to 10) to go along with the goats, dogs, and cats. I have a 24x36 barn that has 4'x6' stalls down each side. I'm thinking about converting two of the stalls (4'x12') into a coup. I would then cut a hole 6"x12" in the wall to let...

I've been knocking around the idea of planting my grandfather's land in corn. He has 160 acres with about 50-60 of those acres tillable. Can't use a combine, because the land is set up in parallel terraces. I want to plant 2-3 acres the first year (feed it to the goats) to get my feet wet and...

Anyone filled the tires on their zero turn? On the old John Deere that I had I could shift my big butt over on the fender if needed. On my new 223 Grasshopper I find myself spinning in some places. Of course the grass is usually wet and I'm probably trying to cut areas that I should be...

Homemade biodiesel conversion with Fuelmeister boidiesel kits Do anyone have one of these? A buddy of mine and I are looking at going in together and buying one of these. We both have diesel trucks and tractors. I can buy methanol for $3.18 a gallon in 55 gallon drums and have a source for...

Anyone used horse manure as fertilizer on his/her pasture. I have Boer goats Hill Farm Boer Goats and the price on Nitrogen is out the roof this year. I have a friend that owns a stable and trains/raises horses. He creates quite a bit of manure (Well, not him personally, but the horses)...

My mom is looking for a leaf vacuum to use behind her John Deere GT275. She really wants one that hooks to the back of the mower and dumps. She can't/won't handle bags of leaves. We have found several tow behind models (DR,John Deere,etc...). Her yard has several steep areas that might cause...

I finally decided on the Andy Tatro grapple after looking at several. Islandtractor and Jinman, along with others, were extremely helpful in my choice. I spoke with Andy on a Monday, October 1st and ordered 2 grapples and 2 extra mounts. One grapple and an extra mount for me and one with an...

I have a Bushhog brand loader and would like to build implements for it : forks, grapple, etc..., but can't figure out how to build the "Bushhog brand" type quick attach. When I ordered the loader it was my first and I didn't know to get it with the Bobcat style quick attach. I have the...
