Be lucky if we start in a month. It's growing good. And as always I'm not ready

That’s what we did as youngsters except it was on a 90 hp tractor and we were splitting 3’+ pieces. Actually standing where he is was a very bad idea. More than one when split would sling shot off to the side.

Did the op quit responding because nobody would agree with his thinking? Grew up on and still farm. Driving anything starts at age 5. No better way to learn responsibility and respect. Does stuff happen. Sure. Doesn’t matter if you’re 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30………..

One of the best purchases I made years ago

Not what is being discussed here.

Those pins would be installed on an implement so you can use a quick hitch. Your issue you are describing is the same one I have been trying to find an answer for years. My reason for doing it is different but what I want to accomplish is the same thing. Changing cat 1 width to cat 2 without...

Little fertilizing rye and hay fields

You should have because again what your what you are talking is not even close to being relevant. 3-Section Soil Conditioners - J&M Manufacturing

mowing? Before offering any opinion you better know what an implement is and what is going on. I even provided a link above that you could have looked at to educate yourself.

Soil conditioners are pretty well balanced. The tractor probably does not exceed 25 mph. Most of the smaller ones which it looks like it is still maxes at 18-20 mph wide open. 2 possibilities I see. 1. Not his fault entirely. Accident due to inexperience. On coming traffic and he moved over some...

If it doesn't move send to consignment auction. It's always a gamble. I've got 2 things there now that didn't get any inquires on. Hopefully they do well. I was shocked last year when I sent what I thought was cheap stuff and got more than what I paid new.

I haven't seen where anybody has mentioned the other main variable. The weather and your time. 2 acres. Probably going to all that in one shot. Able to take time off from work at last minute notice? Do you regularly have long stretches of weather that work with your work schedule? If not, is...

Then they should have built the edge of their road to accept the water from it when they rebuilt the edge couple years ago. Tile line has been dumping water there a minimum of 50 years.

This is an outlet for our pond that has 2 lines feeding it.

Last couple months hay sales picked up and......................the rounds that I did not think would sell moved fast at $65/4x4 bale. Squares, still haven't sold 100 of the 2nds at $6/bale. Still have over 2000 in the barn of them. Most of 2022 1st cutting carry over sold at $4.50/bale. Just...

They will just scrounge until they find cheap crap. Had 2nd cutting 4x4 round bales priced at $65. That is a 5% savings over squares and this year it took until Feb to start moving but once they started there was no stopping and sold out. Only had 40 some. Normally squares sell better but there...

We are in such a depressed area here. Have a barn full of over 2000 2nd square bales at $6 and they won't move. Weed free.

Research Silvopasture. I would be curious what you are considering chores. I rotationally graze and the only chore is moving cattle every couple of days. No feeding involved. Just depends on your motives but 2 acres really is not enough to consider equipment for. Sounds like you have the deer as...

Don’t do it. Buy your hay. Fence it all in and do rotational grazing. Cattle goats or whatever it is you would like to do. Don’t get to many. I don’t know your area but here in NWPA if done properly you could graze late April-November weather pending. Find yourself a couple reputable hay...

Son is here. Doing great..........here. Took him from TIR of very low 30's to currently high 70's. After Tandem finally upload I see he only averages 1 meal with insulin. He has rules, expectations, and structure here. Doesn't question us or anything. Not sure what goes on out there. But it's...

Watch auctions and for sale sites. They are an obsolete loader for the most part. I have a adapter for ss attachments to make it more versatile. Probably have the adapter for 10 years or longer and zero issues. I like the fact that the lock handles are on top. Some look to be a little harder to...

All I use are NAPA batteries. Always good luck with them and get them from my mechanic. Let him deal with the warranty. He doesn’t remove the stickers and can manipulate the warranty if need be.

We have amish wrapping small squares. Must work okay cause they are not buying my baleage. But I hear of lots of loss at the same time. Some try to feed it to the horses. That can have some risk. Heard of one that wiped out all his horses doing that. Wrapping dry hay you still need to let it...

Remove the instrument panel. There are bolts inside there that need removed as well. If you unplug the flashers mark the wires first. Otherwise good luck hooking up correctly. I have had the dash apart on my td95d.

When mentioning something like this you should always clarify Type 2 Diabetes. Type 1 is not reversible. It can be misleading to people who are not familiar with it.

Just run lines from front to rear. Napa tractor dealerships Omni power drives are all places that make hydraulic hoses as well many others

If I get a double bale grapple I will go higher yet. Did 5 high once lifting 3 at a time. Very unnerving when I had it lifted full height and could see it moving. That was the last time. I pushed it off the top when time to get it. Wasn’t even going to attempt with the loader.

I'm sure the deer will nibble them but not an issue. Grew up with 8 plants. Only covered when starting to turn to protect from birds. We would put down a layer of sawdust every year. Wife and I just put in 6 couple years ago. Sucks not having lots to eat yet. Once established want to remove...

I would try to locate the reason for so much moisture in the system as well as a 2nd drain and refill very soon especially if you locate the issue. Maybe its from short use intervals if that is how you operate it.

Now. When I bought the first grapple had strings. Sold the grapple when I sold the farm the first time. When I started again I knew I needed a grapple for storing bales in the barn. I no longer feed cattle in the pasture.

To the OP if he comes back. Had a customer use a pallet fork to move round bales from field to wagon to barn. Thousands of them over the years. He didn't have hills he had HILLS. Was a pain round baling but got good placing bales. Only lost one out of all the years I baled for him. For the...

Still have one. Almost year ago switched it to digital when we switched to a local internet company dropping unreliable and slooooooooooow Verizon. Use it as the business number to weed out the crap posting on Craigslist and such . Put our hay prices on it. Use it for all appointment numbers...

I don't remember the exact conditions. I do remember what we were doing and that was cleaning fence line. I cut very little firewood and the bulk of my cutting is clearing brush. I'm hard on a saw. Always catching wire, rocks, and dirt. I was probably kneeling on the ground and brought the saw...

Ear protection. Gloves if cold. Otherwise nothing. Wife wants me to get protective pants. She didn’t think it was funny when my carhartt got knicked and the red lining showed.

I can't believe I wasted my time reading OP thoughts.

Seems like if they identified an issue any tests now or before would be covered by warranty. Should call the next level of supervisors and also find a copy of what is and not covered under warranty.

Sticks to your tires or shoes. If you can make a baseball out of it it is to wet. It should crumble in your hand if you tried to make a ball.

Why is that? I do it all the time. NWPA here.

I've gone down to my local mechanic and bought bulk fuel line to replace those. Buying from JD would just be a waste of money. If leaking at the fitting the fitting maybe cracked or just use a small clamp if needed.

Have never tried it but will say there are going to be a few out there that can. If I had 3 perfect wagons that hooked together I would no doubt try it. This was the scenario I was thinking of for the above quote. This I have done. Backing up a Kuhn double rotor rake in to a shed even...

Agree with 1 old man. Pictures. Would it be possible to spray every other sprayer width? Based on what I have read I believe you will see results but the question is, is it worth it from year to year compared to regular lime? I have tried liquid fertilizer from my dealer. Thought this would be...

At a class I went to this topic was discussed. If you want immediate results on rented ground then it might be an option however it really is not a practical product or cost effective solution

I’ve ran both 458 and now a 459. Starting to close in on 30,000 bales between the 2. 459 has 14-16,000 on it. Can’t remember now. 458 had well over 10,000 and I used hard for silage and wasn’t a s.s. 458 was twine only. Will never go back to that.

'99 CK3500 w/454

I had just read an article on this and found it interesting. Just remember it is the sellers fault if land leaves for some reason. If all your after is the big money then the one who comes with the big money gets it...

Since you have seen the equipment being used I would say your on the right track but with no experience I wonder what result you would have. Reading your description, to me it does not sound like a skidsteer is the equipment of choice and a small excavator would be better seeing how the the...

It would be useful if OP stated what equipment he had other than saying has 2 tractors already for the work he intends to do. For those that think skidsteers tear up the ground . Nobody says you have to spin them around in its own little circle. They can be driven respectfully and do zero...

Depends on your level of experience and what you are doing to maintain your road. I would always go with a tractor however, since getting a skidsteer and having to fix my roads when they wash out. Hands down the skidsteer is quicker easier and more enjoyable than a tractor and I’m only using a...

Doesn’t matter what the temperature is. 35% needed wrap. Any thing above 20% should be wrapped. I baled hay in November small squares that never went above 18% but they didn’t feel right. Left them stacked on the wagon to confirm and about 20 went bad.

I know this is old and that you are selling now. Your statement of no new available. Was that through Deere? Lots of research and you could probably find new through the valves manufacture dealers. They would be able to assist in finding a possible replacement.

While the article is disturbing, the comments are even more so.

I have to assume that these would be known customers and not new ones that year? We have a couple that are slow but not bad. This year though I have 2 that are 6 and 8 months late. 1 is the neighbor and relative. We get wrong number calls so there is a known issue. We have a list for those...

Nothing unusual about clearing brush unless you consider what type of grapple it is. Takes a little skill to grapple and move the brush.

There is no way to explain how. As stated at the beginning. Practice practice practice practice practice. You want something difficult. Have multiple wagons. Multiple tongue lengths. Add a bent frame to the mix and multiple tractors. I have my favorites that I can back up first try and ones that...

Separate entities. One can’t access the other. But when looking to refinance just a couple signatures to transfer information. I’ve heard that concern before as well.

Horizon farm credit. Have the farm loan and accounting through them. Was with PFB when I started and I was getting a new accountant every couple years. Then find out they didn’t do it properly. The best one was a fill in and I couldn’t keep him. Also that’s when i learned that each have their...

Probably not an option but I remove all the plastic and put them in the pen for the cattle to break down. Some things I have learned. There is good tape and crap tape. If you can pull the whole thing off. That’s really good tape. Love the fiber/paper tape. I don’t remove that. Wish I could...

SP have an accountant familiar with Ag(very important). Would not have it any other way. To many little things that can be missed with tax codes for and against you.......................unless you enjoy that type of reading and understand it.

Is there? Than why is it still for sale. I hate dealers and refuse to go to one. They love my wife though. She no longer talks to me about vehicles. LOL

The feature is nice but can get you in trouble by moving quotes off topic. I’ve come close a couple times.

I just quoted you on from different thread and different pages. Just keep clicking quote and they are saved.

All depends on your driving style. I always hit my wrist on it. The only thing that has one is the lawn mower and I get along with it. On tractors they are in the way.

Easiest way to not have that issue is to remove that damn spinner. Every used tractor I purchased had one of those and is the first thing that gets removed.

You need to start reading from the beginning. The who has been answered.the legal has been taken care of because of the who. In any case screw legal and have fun. I did like the one that had somebody on the pile hooking them up and drag to shore. Sounds like something I’d attempt. Hay dude...

Well then you are in the clear. Have fun with it. Looks like it will be interesting.

.

I highly doubt that’s a private stream by the size of it. That would put it in conservation control I would think. Interesting job you are looking at though

Son will be upgrading to the G7 soon.

While the fluid is out replace the site glass. I would hope it's replaceable. Did that with a skidsteer. It was not expensive.

We used a wooden clothes pin to keep pto engaged on our 425.

I'm glad I don't need one now. Major price increase since I last looked https://hayspear.com/john-deere-implements/jd-quick-attach/new-category/

What’s your budget. I have 2 sets and the price from the company will run you approximately $800. Just guessing. I can send link if interested when on computer. Been very happy with them zero issues and have 1 set for over 10 years

I’m going against everyone here. I’m very particular with my manure and can’t wait til I can get another one. Absolutely hate out the back leaves clumps limits your spread pattern. The only thing good about the one I have is it is an old NH 5 speed. The best spreader are the Kuhn Knights side...

The Ford is my mechanics personal truck purchased new.. Until couple years ago he plowed driveways every winter with it. I've asked when he is selling it. Never. The thing is spotless. It drinks a little with the 460 though not any different than mine with the 454

I'm sure you would consider gas if this is what you saw Are you saying this is to big for plowing? Can you believe that when I bought this my co-workers told me I should get a plow for it. What the h... Somebody would have to offer me a lot of $$$$ to let this go. Sadly it has turned over...

I got 10 out of OEM NH battery. It was an oddball and spent the money to buy another one($350) and hope for another 10. Just did batteries on my uncles tractor and they were 8 years. I put commercial NAPA in everything. He said what he paid for the 2 napa's was what he paid for the Strongbox 8...

What's your battery life. If I double mine it is 20 years. If I don't get 10 I start looking for issues.

Well I would have to count but would need up to 20 of them and it is not a big deal to see the light in the dark and take it as I walk by doing chores and move it to the next item. If all my sheds had electric I could add 5 more batteries right now. Counting really quick I came up with 24...

I run one tender on MANY batteries. When light is green I rotate it to the next battery. On most of my tractors I put it on the starter to top off both batteries. So not really a schedule but I don't leave it on 1 item all winter either.

If '79 is in fact the true year this is the shift pattern. There are 2 different styles of the 40 series. 76-79 and 80-82 and I wasn't sure of the break. We had both in 2440. Early and late model. Early had park and late had parking brake.

.

.

If no lever it is a 8 speed. Just going to be an open hole or a plug in it.

This is what op will see. Nothing power shifting about it.

Yes it is. $6 for 2nd cutting. Haven't moved one yet.

Range 1,2 and reverses on left. Cannot change those unless stopped. Gears on left. Gears can be shifted on the move with clutch. If it has the hi/lo it will be a lever left of steering wheel. If it is hi/lo that can be changed with no clutch. That lever could also be a reverser or no lever. Just...

Maybe. Lol

?????? Utility 40 series had a hi/lo that was optional making them a 16 speed instead of 8. Maybe your thinking of the 40 series rowcrop that had a 8 speed power shift option

Started this years projects last couple days It's a long slow process with the backhoe but cheaper and more convienant than trying to hire and can work as my schedule permits.

Started fixing tile lines last year with the acquisition of a backhoe attachment. It is going to be a long process with as many lines that there are dating back to possibly early 1900's. First process is to find and install new ends then start making repairs further up the line. Lots of...

Finally unloaded the last of the hay we baled. Not all the bales made. Cattle sure are happy they didn't. Just a few sporadic ones, not the whole load.

Spent 8 years there in the test department. Great place to work but you need to keep your head down and not create turmoil.

What’s your feeding process and average weight? We are strictly forage based. If I grow it they eat it. No purchased grain. However if I get to where we pick corn I want to process it myself. The one I picked up today was our heaviest yet at 564 hanging. 42 lbs over our now 2nd heaviest. 30...

lindellhaysales.net We raise dexters. Sell ground beef in a store. Sell halves and wholes. Can’t grow fast enough. 340 lbs of ground sold out in less than 3 months. As for Omaha steaks. They are popular. Working at ups loading trucks. Just one after another coming down the belt. Wouldn’t be...

BS

I've roaded over 2 hours back when I did custom work. Not a big deal. Bought a tractor at an auction that I drove 6 hours to get it home. What better way to make sure it was a good purchase. When I worked out west we roaded tractors and combines 8 hours or so. Sometimes it is just easier than...

. Since 2015 only a hand full of times have we had rounds to sell in the winter. Not worth the investment however I have researched it and have it narrowed down. It also has purpose feeding the cattle.

Our current clientele would never accept it and 99% of them if were interested have no way to handle them. I’m not sure what the marketable aspect would be for the big squares but then we would be changing our whole system. While making a large investment is years out the ideal way would be to...

Lots of fawns here. Even ran a full grown doe through the discbine once. That is unusual. Lost 100 rpm for a second otherwise no issues.

Seems it would be cheaper to run 2 sets of tires. Summer and winter w/ studs.

Everything that went through my auction when I quit the first time. Dads and grandpas many 1 owner implements and tractors. The only one I hope to get back is the jd 2440. Couple years ago brought home the jd 115 chopper box I sold. It was bought new by grandpa and yes I’m using it. In fact I...

Only if you can to tractor like things with it. Can you drive into a field and pick something up and drive back? How about hook a wagon to it or change the attachment and go grapple some brush.

I always thought be fun to do large parking lots with a tractor and blade. You consider doing any plowing other than your own with the blade?

We can only wish for that here. I have the prices maxed out for my area at $4.50 1st and $6 2nd. Need a cold hard winter and a reduction of cheap hay in area and it will start moving. Have my 4x4 at $65. They won’t sell. Only reason we have 1st available is customers changed their stored...

When it is your only source of income it sucks. Currently job searching to make up the difference.

Final tally of bale numbers. Last years numbers for comparison. No change in acreage. Really hoping we don't have a spring like this year for a long time. 2022 1st Squares-14,306 1st 4x4 round-541 2nd squares-5644 2nd 4x4 round-28 2023 1st square-3778 1st 4x4 round-328 2nd square-8863 2nd...

Holy crap. That would take awhile

Photo line up of current tractors. 2 are missing. 4040 in Ohio getting repaired and 2950 in my shop waiting for a battery install. And the skid steer

Glad you are leak free. While very uncommon it could have been the filter itself. I had one that wasn't crimped properly or something and leaked.

I helped a friend load cattle and I guess prices are nuts in my area as well. Made me wish I had some. Heard cull dairy going $1.00/lb or more. That's insane. Here is one of local auction sites. I remember when sending bull calves it was a great day when you got $1/lb. Now they are pushing...

Sales. 99% of the hay we make is for sale. lindellhaysales.net

My uncle said I should keep the discbine ready in case another opportunity opens. Lol

And this brings my season to an official close. 116 bales. 11/13 is now the latest I have baled dry. Had 2 days of freeze drying that I got to take advantage of. Probably the first time taking 4 cuttings dry

Another 11 acres down. If we bale it dry today it will make a new record. Here is a picture of freeze drying. Had temperature into the 20’s yesterday and today.

I will have to get back with that. I want to say ‘64. Not sure if the year shows up on my depreciation after dad’s passing. Or if i have it my computer. The other place is old note cards grandpa used for all purchases and put repair notes on.

Pictures of our former square back 45. I ended up selling it twice. Someone bought the header then over 10 years later after no return for the rest sold the combine itself to someone in Ohio. Last I knew it was running.

First letter of our farm name. Lindell Heritage Farm. 2019 was when we started using it.

Cleaning 1 gallon ammonia to 100 gallon water. Agitate let sit overnight. Run through sprayer following day then run clean water through. This is not the complete set of instructions I do. To winterize I put several gallons of rv antifreeze in and run it through the system and leave it.

Unbolt the pin and done. I’m assuming not welded on the bottom. Don’t over think it.

That was snow on it. What I was hoping for was freeze drying to assist in the drying process. What I got instead was low humidity and 10mph breeze for 2 nights allowing the hay to dry down in record time.

Seemed it was time to start a thread on what I do. We make small squares and round bales on approximately 250 acres. I will periodically update this thread. This past week I pulled off a couple firsts that I was not expecting. Making hay in November is not a first as we did it in 2021 and try to...

Your owners manual tells you how many hours the grease fittings are. So for my tractor the tractor grease fittings are 50hr so every 25 hours on the meter it gets grease. The MFWD universals gets pumps until I see the slightest movement. Same with the steering. The pivots get 3, drive shaft 3...

Never once have I ever looked at a grease fitting and pondered this. Wipe it next time I grease.

All dependent on location. For 2 years now my winter sales are $4.50 for 1st cutting and $6.00 for 2nd cutting. This year our first 2 inquiries have passed because of the price. This will be my first year in almost a decade of having significant inventory so should be interesting. If I shipped...

Need a lot more information. Lets start with brand and model and what you want to do with it.

I’m all for seeing how it plays out. It is after all a cat. But I have that philosophy with all pets and can’t imagine taking any of mine to a “specialist”. A lot people not going to like this post.

My first question is why would you put used oil back in? As for the oil on dipstick my NH can do that at times. I can check one day and it appears low and another day be full. But when I officially check and service my tractors they get topped off with engines running and 3pt lowered. Being...

I'm not familiar with your model. I will say don't beat yourself over it. They should not make dipsticks so hard to remove or as your describing it , out of plastic. I had to have a dipstick replaced under warranty from NH because mine was so tight it stripped the hex head off trying to remove...

Just open a window. I've replaced 2 doors. One an accident one because of I wanted it open. You have enough to pay attention to without needing to remember to close a door if you get to close to something.

Probably going to need a relay as well. I put led bulbs in my 80's ag tractors and needed relay to make them function. SBL is where I got mine from to. Great selection and warranty.

You do not want to see the grease on those. That would be bad. Odd the manual says nothing. On my older Deere they are 600 hr grease fitting so every oil change (approx 200-250hr) they get 2 pumps each from grease gun. Been doing it that way for 40 years.

Over 40 years have yet to have that happen. If I didn't use the tractors at night I probably wouldn't believe the amount of sparks possible

How "new to you" was this tractor? You say you found information about this issue after the fact? So you didn't research a tractor you bought before hand and make yourself aware of issues a particular model could have. You experienced the issue others have. I'm guessing you didn't make sure...

Sparks are extremely common but you are not going to notice unless you are driving at night and working it hard. You might see a stray just running around but not as likely. Staging hay equipment went over one of our steep hills at night. The amount of sparks coming out of the exhaust was...

I just saved 50% on a part by buying JD. Stripped nut on a bush hog branded brushhog. Over $40 from Bush Hog. $20.60 from JD. Just takes research and patience. JD is not always more expensive and in the whole grand scheme of getting parts they are in line with everybody else. I buy OEM filters...

With so few hours and from what picture we have appears to be stored inside. Just seemed odd as I have had or have 2-2440, 2350, 2355, 2-2750 all open all double plus the hours all spending many of those hours working in adverse weather all with the original steering cap intact. Yes caught my...

People have become so impatient and will pass at anytime any where and it is only a matter of time before someone gets killed. All it takes is a log truck coming around the corner and that person passing is going to be in trouble because they didn't wait. A lot of people don't even let up and...

Try again and if you still not sure I will post a picture of the correct one.

Odd it has wrong Deere emblem on steering wheel. Have you confirmed hour meter is working? They must have it cleaned up really good........or repaint. Estate sale or auction? If all correct that would push the $20,000 mark pending what all included with it(loader attachments). A tractor that...

Going from the G6 to the G7? Son still on G6 and I don't hear of any changes. Very interested in hearing of the differences and likes and dislikes between the 2.

As stated above make sure you have eaves and good drainage. The best way to keep an old barn intact is to fill it with cows. My 100+ year cement work is crumbling away from being empty. Just how it is.

Seeing how the header cleared the posts they should have only need to fold up the header support wheels

It really isn't that bad. Your in the middle of nowhere and nothing to hit. We could take 30' headers through 20'? gates. There is a trick to it. When I worked on custom harvest crew there was one rule. NEVER back up. Well one of the boss's stepson ignored that rule and ran the straw chopper...

I have no idea. I'm not sure if we were ever told the names but I'm sure we were. It might have been multiple farms.

I should add that when I went back 10 years later to visit my former boss the labor he had were now coming from South Africa because you just couldn't find anybody in the US. In '98 his ad was in the area farm paper in PA and the entire crew were citizens.

Some more My sister went out for a couple years so I traveled to see her. How I traveled 10 years after I worked went back with my then wife and kids and visited.

Just a few pictures. Many many more in storage. Back when you had to carry disposable cameras and used prepaid phone cards. I remember walking through town (Medicine Lake MT) to get to a phone booth. Stayed above the bar while working there. The year was 1998. Left the day after graduation...

Bring back lots of memories of my time on a custom harvest crew. Home base was Nebraska. My first day was in Alva OK. Worked on the King Ranch. Spent lots of time in Kadoka SD due to rain. Minot ND and Medicine Lake Montana. Lots of beautiful country and a great way to see it. Somewhere I have...

You wouldn't think so if they were coming to or transporting you. If it is a major emergency the last thing you want them to focus on is turning lights and sirens on and off. If it is a non emergency they just run lights here but if you can hear them coming it is not good.

Looked into them. They don't make them 5' baler compatible. Would be very handy for grouping bales or not having to dump on the hills. Bent a tie rod this year stopping a bale. First time ever having damage done from stopping a bale and I have baled A LOT of hill acreage. Bags are great for...

1999 CK3500 w/454 Probably 8 or so currently. Only saw 13mpg once and with with several injectors dumping fuel constantly as low as 6.

I keep looking for quality plugs/caps that last. I have push pull connectors on the NH and rubber plugs don't work great when it is under 70 degrees. The rubber gets hard and takes pliers to pull out and obviously lanyards break over time. Same goes for the few attachments I cap the male plugs...

I guess if you are not willing to defend your property with non lethal methods that are effective then what you are currently doing is all you can do. You've talked with them and you talked with the authorities. May want to change the wording on your email though. You give them no incentive to...

Ordered direct from TRC. Received in 2 days. Current total price delivered $482.50 for a case(50 tubes @ $9.65/tube). Still the same $25 shipping cost that it was years ago which is waived if order is over $500.

Maybe they have something if you have an issue again. I ordered a case of grease on Wednesday and in my hands by noon Friday. Ordered direct from them. Greases

With so few hours and having that age on it maybe from lack of use something as simple as a seal(o-ring) broke down?? Sounds like you need tech manual and appropriate gauges and start troubleshooting.

Based on our notes. Carbs are carbs. Doesn't matter thawed frozen or fresh. How they affect you though will be different from person to person. We carb count and adjust as needed. Keep meals simple. We now have several years of data to back that up. I know how my exwife cooks and based on years...

True. Customer of mine in construction has been T ing in gas valves on skidsteer attachments for this very reason. Nobody has time for tools that employeees can lose or misplace but work has to go on. Now with a turn of valve the pressure is relieved.

Nothing is easier than hitting the end on steel to relieve pressure and it is free.

He can answer the questions you keep asking.

After thinking about this more. Go buy some lottery tickets. The odds of winning are the odds of breaking a window. Is there a chance absolutely. Based on the responses the odds are good you won't but............................................

I don't know if you mentioned what you were doing with your expenses but purchased cattle are depreciated and all the bulk fencing purchases should or can be as well.

Sure if it is a hobby and you don't care. But if running a business to the max the last thing I would want to do is keep up with ever changing tax rules. Do you depreciate this or that? Maybe you depreciate all this but not that? Do you want to show loss or gain? I don't have time for that and...

I highly recommend an accountant specializing in agriculture. We looked into an LLC for our business and the pros vs cons just did not justify switching from sole proprietor. As for the supplies you purchased the year before you should have wrote them off on that year knowing you were going to...

We had a new engine installed in our Kia with 90,000 miles after it locked up and we do our own maintenance and have never dealt with the dealer except when wife purchased the car and couple past recalls/repairs. Couple times when we had an issue and when called dealer would say they have a...

We run run a herd of Dexters mixed with a couple Jerseys. Rotationally grazing them will give you a good idea on what they will favor. I would look at grass and legume seeds you can buy local to spread as you clean up. There is a lot of "weeds" that cattle will eat that you may not even consider...

Our field vehicle. 2 years out of inspection. No longer passes. Modern braking system disabled to old school. Can't farm plate it due to PA not allowing SW registered vehicles but treat it as such. Month ago found a large chunk of metal where I previously drove. Still haven't checked to see...

You shouldn't. Without researching it completely I believe one issue is incorrect readings due to being close. https://support.tandemdiabetes.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039440333-Infusion-Set-Tips-Best-Practices

That stereotyping would apply to type 2 not type 1 diabetics. Looking at the picture you have no idea which she has.

I send my cylinders to a hydraulic shop. Only know of one and it is a 1.5 hour round trip and any cylinder is going to run $4-600 for repair. Why do I go. Lack the tools and knowledge for a proper rebuild. They utilize higher quality product then I can order from OEM. If I do my own I would...

My boss used to buy the module that had the hours in combines. Rack up the hours on those then install originals back in on trade in. Think they even messed with pickup trucks. Not sure on the semi's.

That's interesting. They should be the ones giving advise so someone doesn't do something stupid. Otherwise all the person knows is what he has but not how to control it safely. So where would somebody go in your area to get recommendations?

Think of the horrible death that happened back in the day before we knew what we know now. If it meant tasting or smelling urine so be it. I have a book written by long past relative. Her brother passed from diabetes in the early 1900's. I can't imagine the suffering he went through. Especially...

Don't waste your time, leave it.

When you had fluid drained did you also clean the transmission screen? It might seem expensive but as you found out OEM fluid should be used especially in the hydraulic systems.

Very interested in your review of it as you progress through the season

The story to go with the helicopter that day. https://www.post-journal.com/news/top-stories/2023/05/police-seek-man-believed-to-be-armed-and-dangerous/ https://www.post-journal.com/news/top-stories/2023/05/sheffield-couple-kidnapped-at-gunpoint-by-burham/...

If you don't mind me asking, what are you doing with the corn head grease?

So you are always buying different grease. Instead of buying a “bunch” wouldn’t it just be easier to just buy 1 and stick with it?

You may have a sales rep in your area which would save greatly on shipping I thought about becoming one when ours passed away but just not my thing. Not sure if anybody ever picked up this area. One day decided to see if order directly from them and not an issue.

For 99% of the people that grease, just greasing is good enough. They probably grease to something that equates to just a couple hours of use between greasing. It isn't going to wear. For the other 1% that run equipment 12 -14+ hours between greasing we need a grease that is still there after...

Requires buying a case but direct from TRC. Found a local place may go just to buy a box or 2 as needed. Case is expensive And last about 4 years

Done that with a phone. It survived but in much rougher condition. Took a while to remember where I set it

And that is yours. I let the results speak for themselves.

You don’t know what you have for a loader? Hang something heavy on the 3pt and go at it. Pump your front tires to 50psi whether they are 2 or 4 wd and take it slow. ONLY use pallet forks

TRC 880 crown and chassis. There isn’t any other grease. Been used for over 70 years on this farm. Nothing compares

Nothing special. Just a 2wd Rancher.

There was a homicide over the state line and seems there might be a possibility the person of interest may have come south. So maybe the helicopter was police. Activity like this is very rare. Growing up it would be police looking for pot growers in corn fields.

Today this one has been circling for past 20 minutes and as I type this it is still doing slow circles.

Picture taking?

Model of loader and pictures help. Removed a starter from a 2440 w/145 loader. Wasn't easy but loader did not come off. Borrowed a modified socket or something. Been about 20 years.

In the owners manual.

I would not wait. Tractor house shows one with 798 hrs at dealer for $38,900. Buy it now and you will have something you can get your money back if you don't like it.

He is a bright kid and should have this down but feel he is held back from doing so. In several correspondence she uses his diabetes as a punishment saying "he can't manage it". One thing he has been wanting to do is get a job. Here is a typical week followed by a week here. The 400 on Christmas...

No. It is a 8 hour drive. Eats out or other and that is where we feel incorrect calculations are taking place. It is always under calculated. Lots of data to point to the issue just ignored. Doctors can only work with the information given. I feel the doctors don't push hard enough to make sure...

If he can break the apron strings that keep getting cinched tighter. We track everything here and when we question him on where he gets his carb number from for something that is way off. He says mom. He recognizes the difference in numbers. Once asked me why his numbers are different here than...
