If the percentage of smokers on TBN is M/L same as the population as a whole, this might be of interest to at least 3,000/4,000 TBNers. Do any of you put in a few tobacco plants yourself for your own use? There are permits/quotas required to raise it for resale. I'm not talking about that, just...

What\'s your garden strategy? The purpose of this thread is to solicit reports, comments and possibly reasons as to what strategy you use in gardening (those of you who have gardens); not so much what you may grow, but rather how. There are two areas (methods). First, what could be referred...

A couple weeks ago I bot a 2 wheel tractor (to replace some Gravelies) and have been using it more than my TC40 since for some jobs it works better, is easier to maneuver and only represents 1/5 the investment. I prefer to "use up" the less expensive piece of equipment when possible. Anyway . ...

A word is not a thing, but a pointer to a thing, A pointer to objects, attributes and qualities. If I say “sitting outside my back door is a NH TC40 Serial #xxxxx”, I am using the expression as a pointer to a single, unique thing (sometimes called a proper noun, like your name which is a word...

There have been a couple threads recently on two different types of very small tractors. One started by DanialNY on buying "garden tractors" and one started by myself on 2 wheel tractors. In the garden tractor thread the Craftsmen GT5000 was mentioned as a good choice. I went and carefully...

The 20-30-40 hp CUT is a marvelously flexible power tool. With the proper implements you can use it for plowing new ground, tilling and cultivating. You can cut and bale hay. You can use it as a power source for running everything from water pumps and generators through log splitters. You can...

Anyone had any experience with Goossen chippers made by Harper Industries? (or any other experience with their stuff - they make bale shredders and other similar type stuff)??? JEH

Any of yoose guys have any experience with the 3pt Harper Goossen chipper/shredder? Specs look good, but experience of someone who has used one better? JEH

I know different states/localities vary widely in their "land use & planning" restrictions, but some of you are probably subject to zoning issues. I was wondering how many of you have actually done a rezoning on your property, changing it, say, from residential to commercial? I suspect in most...

Hi - This isn't "related" to tractors (of course, a lot of stuff in this forum - Related Topics - isn't either), but . . . am planning trip through northern Texas shortly. Kilgore (oil musuems etc), Houston (cattle, etc), and, Archer City (supposedly the town itself is the biggest used book...

\"real\" farmers A thread on HST vs gear subject (in the general buying forum) got off track (so, what else is new!) onto the issue of what a "real" farmer is. There were a number of interesting comments, but I am reproducing something posted by cowboydoc. I am not a "real" farmer, but have an...

Don't know what you guys do New Year's day, but I spend it entering expenses, doing a balance sheet etc. Bought a new NH TC40 a year ago and thought real number costs/benefits for its first year might be of some interest. Guess this could go under owning/operating, or brand specific, but the...

I wanted to tell a little story about a fish pond. Seems many years ago there was a guy who liked fish. But he soon got tired of running around here and there to catch his fish. So he decided to make his own little fish pond. Over the years he dug it a little bigger and stocked it with fish...

Had posted this in attachments, but, is probably more suitable in Customization . . . Anyone taken a standard 3pt blade and added a cylinder to tilt it? I have a Woods RB72 and it has only 3 tilt positions (1 horizontal, 1 each port and starboard - there are enough of angle positions though)...

Anyone taken a standard 3pt blade and added a cylinder to tilt it? I have a Woods RB72 and it has only 3 tilt positions (there are plenty of angle positions though) which are only accidently what you need when you are trying to grade a bevel. It looks like you could attach a fitting to the top...

Did a search & couldn't find anything on this. The BH control levers (on a 758c BH) activate small ball joint fittings which then activate the hydraulic control flow rods (which are themselves connected to the hydraulic distibution block beneath the controls). The fitting has a small stud coming...

Anybody know the weight of these large hay bale rolls? (I know they will vary depending of the tightness of the roll, moisture content, etc. but I am trying to figure the weight range). Thanks JEH

Since you guys post so many interesting projects in which you use your tractors, I have been considering posting a series of "project" posts on exhuming bodies - with photos and including modifications of BH bucket to avoid ripping up the body, how to find a grave with no headstone and no maps...

Have an old cement mixer looks like it would do about 10 or so 60 lb bags at a time-more or less. Big heavy gears (turns easy) & grease pot lubrication for bearings. Looks to be from the 30s, 40s or maybe 50s. All metal with frame. Small metal wheels at one end, small tounge to tow at the other...
