Looking for a plasma for the farm. We do some fab work and repair work.

Oops! I meant Bale Skiis. Has anyone here used them and how well did they improve bale consistently? I have a NH 315 that I am going to rebuild the plunger and bale chamber.

This is our rig. Oliver Superior Drill with grass seed box. We plant wheat, soybeans and oats in the large box and alfalfa and clover seed in small box. Old but works well.

I am wondering what year is it? I am assuming 50's. Serial# 38 34191. I am assuming the 38 is the model and the following number is the serial#. It has 7.60-15" rubber tires, metal seed boxes and hydraulic drop and raise. Red wheels, 6 bolt pattern wheel. The drill is green with yellow...

I am having some trouble posting this pic from my phone, but here is pic.

Any hay makers going? If so, what equipment is on your wish list?

I agree I would not go less than 70hp. What I have is a 1974 4430 AG tractor with cab of 120hp for tilling, mowing hay and round baling. I then got a new Kioti DK45SC with cab for moving bales, manure handling, raking and baling with the small baler. Having two tractors on 80 acres plus making...

A few more:D

Kioti DK45SC with 3pt Kuhn rotary rake More pics to post. If anybody has hay making pictures please add them.

This is the DK45SC. Same engine as the DK55, just non turbo. 340hrs and use it making hay.

We still need to finish one field for third cut and the rest for fourth. We have had good rains in August and everything is growing like spring. I wish I had taken more pics. The Kioti has been great. It has moved wagons, raked, baled and moved round bales. Our yields have been off 40% thru...

Picture of my son raking with Ex 450 and Kuhn GA300GM rotary rake. It is a friend's tractor.

A little different approach. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dq_iSCHJek&feature=youtube_gdata_player Love to try one :)

First cutting finished in Indiana. Dry and hot this hay season in the Hoosier State. The last 2 seasons were wet. Finished first cutting in July last season. Yield was off by 40% this year due to the dry weather and late freeze after 80° temps in March. I did a 17 acre that yielded 78 rounds...

Branson 8050 and Branson 6640. Big crowd. It was tough to get all of it in and get some seat time. If you need a tractor fix this is the place to go.:D

Here is a cute New Kioti CS2410 I seen at the National Farm Machinery Show yesterday in Louisville..:D

Kubota is on the hunt for another acquisition. http://www.sharenet.co.za/news/Kubota_aims_for_26_bln_overseas_deal_in_farm_equipment/8f309d8386cb9c5acb65fc9a0917c4d4 The full story I read today in another trade news letter believed it would be in Europe or South America . Claas (3 billion...

Anybody going to the National Farm Machinery Show in Louisville, KY? If you are going what are looking for? If you want to compare this is a one stop shop. :D National Farm Machinery Show

Interesting move by Kubota. Nice to see them beat out CNH and the Chinese.:D Kubota Gains Upper Hand in Battle to Acquire Kverneland - Farm Equipment http://www.kvernelandgroup.com/

I was just reading my January Eastern Farm Livestock Directory with an article on the RX6010C tractor. It looks like one sweet tractor. :D It has a new front design. I may be the last to find out about it so this may not be new news to all. Here is the info from their web site...

Very Nice Parts App! I just found it this morning and downloaded it. It will come in handy ordering parts for my aging NH hay equipment. Again you are cutting edge.:thumbsup: https://market.android.com/search?q=tractor+parts&so=1&c=apps

I read this news on twitter yesterday. Kioti sales revenue up 16%.:thumbsup: KIOTI reports 16 percent increase in sales revenue - Lawn & Landscape

Hi All, I haven't posted in a while. It has been a very busy spring trying to get the soybeans planted and hay made. It has been a very wet spring as has been alot of the corn belt this year. There are still fields unplanted in midnorth Indiana. I have not taken alot of pics but got a couple...

I thought I had taken some pics at the Louisville Machinery Show. I did get a brochure and some seat time. It is one sweet tractor. It has enough HP for small to midsize farms. I like the layout of the cab and the trainer seat.:thumbsup:

Here are a few pics of the New Daedong (Kioti) built McCormicks. These were at the National Farm Machinery Show in Loiusville, KY. :D

Branson 8050 with cab!:thumbsup: National Machinery Show Louisville.

Anyone going to the National Farm Machinery Show? feb 16th thru 19th. I can't wait to check out all of the tractors.:D I will try to get some pics of the Kioti booth.:thumbsup: Great place to shop and compare and see what is "New". Also talk with the company reps. National Farm Machinery...

If you have some hay handling equipment post some pics. I like to see what everyone else is using and see some new ideas possibly. Mine is very basic loader double spear. I have a three point spear and three point large bale lift as well. Post wagons and trailers as well.:thumbsup:

I finally got to play with the PowerArc 200 today.:) I am a very amature welder but I really enjoyed running some beads with it.:thumbsup: I think the first project will be making some custom kidding pens for the goats this spring.:D

I am not a fan of calcium chloride filled tires because I have seen plenty of ate up rims.:mad: I know there are some new options for filling tires and am curious to the pros and cons. I do like the option of weights as I can leave my tires tubeless. Seems that weights are easier to manage.

I think you have hit the nail on the head.:thumbsup: If you are going to sell CNH there isn't a better time than now and AGCO doesn't want left out.

The latest merger talk was an interveiw last week with the CEO of Agco and an Italian news. Agco interested in Fiat's CNH unit: CEO in paper | Reuters Agco is struggling for market share in North America. They do better in Europe and Brazil. Maybe a good time for a move by AGCO. Some of it...

Agco Is Interested in Buying CNH If Fiat Sells Unit (Update1) - BusinessWeek This comes up again. FIAT has said it is not for sale and AGCO CEO says he isn't pursuing it but would consider it if they were availible. I can't imagine how complicated this marriage would be.:D

Those prices seem a bit high. I would check with your local NAPA. They have excellent quality filters.

Memories from my childhood of making hay is one of the reasons I started making hay again. My oldest son has been raking and driving baler for a couple of years now and helps load and unload wagons. He sure appreciated when we got the Kioti. He had raked a couple of years with a Farmall M. he...

Cold snowy December day makes you yearn for those Hot summer hay makin days.:laughing:

Quick shipping and well packaged. I am excited to use it.:D I do have a question on the plug provided. It is a 20amp. Is that enough?

I am liken using the DK45 for feeding round bales.:D

I just finished the 50hr service on the DK45S Cab. So far it has exceeded my expectation. I have cleaned the barn out, raked hay and did some small square baling with it. The A/C was nice. Not as cold as my Deere, but I didn't have a problem keeping cool. The tractor and rake will fit on...

The pros and cons. I have a couple of them located and seem like a simple design that requires low HP. They also have net wrap. They are an open throat fixed chamber. I have only operated a belt variable chamber baler.

I picked up a nice used Kuhn GA 301GM rotary hay rake:D. It fits nice on the DK45.:thumbsup:

Does anyone on here own a Kioti finish mower? The good and bad and what size of mower would be good for a DK45S? Thanks in advance.:)

What can you tell me about it? Is it Korean built? The good and bad?

Adding a Kioti DK45S Cab FEL to the stable.:) After a couple of years reserching every brand on TBN, machinery shows, fairs and dealers lots I finally went with Kioti. My dealer is Lyle Woods of Off Duty Ranch and he will deliver Thursday or Friday. I will post some pics when it arrives and a...

Took this picture at the Louisville Farm Machinery Show.

I have been looking for a 50hp loader tractor for sometime. I have looked at new and quality used tractors as well. I have found one to fit the budget and seems to be in great condition. They are asking $16,250. It was used on a golf cource. It is a 2007 DK55 with 800hrs on it. Is 800 hrs...

I am always wondering what is the best grease. I have always used Mystic JT-6. TSC has their Traveller Preminum Truck & Tractor Grease on sale and at a good price and I am tempted to change. I use it mainly to grease on my hay equipment like knotters and pto shafts. I also use it to pack...

Stop at the local NH dealer who recently picked up Kubota, for parts for my haybine and took a look at a MX5100. Was impressed at it's simplicity. I am curious if anybody uses one for carring round bales 4x5. It looks like it would handle them alright. I also have a smaller barn it would...

Where are the 3600 Series built?

Need info on the 2600 Series. Good and bad.

I got a quote for a 5055D (2wd) and 5055E(4wd)with loader. Is the 4wd worth the extra cost? I know these are India built Deeres, has anybody have any experience with them?

Nothing Runs Like a Deere until you run an antler in your tire. I just finished raking one hay field and was switching over to my haybine when I noticed something sticking out of my rear tire on my JD 4430. OUCH!!! :eek:A deer antler. It is 18.4-38 radial tire. It is in there real good...

Does anyone have any experience owning one? I found a 2007 program tractor with 3hrs on it with FEL for $13,999 cash. Is this a good deal? Will it pick up 4x5 round bales? I have one barn that is a bit tight for cleaning out and this would definitly fit the bill.

Does anyone own a Westendorf loader and more specificaly a WF-42? I am thinking of putting one on my 1974 4430 with Sound Guard Cab. Does anyone have one on a 4430? I thought the web site was very informative but was wondering if anyone out there had an experience owning one? I like the...

I see they use a Cummins engine in the Branson 6530R. I have been comparing loader tractors in the 65hp to 55hp range to use in my livestock and hay operation. I hadn't considered Branson yet, but I see they have some nice upper hp tractors. I don't even know where they are built. Any info...

I am posting this in the Montana Forum also. I have been shopping for a utility FEL tractor all winter. I had kind of settle on a Kioti DK55. I did call a Montana dealer and he shot me a price that was very competive and sent some pics of one on the lot. I haven't looked up close at one yet...

I have been shopping for a utility FEL tractor all winter. I had kind of settle on a Kioti DK55. I did call a Montana dealer and he shot me a price that was competive and sent some pics. I haven't looked up close at one yet but I do think it is in the running. I have some local references...

Is a DK55 heavy enough to double stack round bales? Can it handle picking one up with the loader and three point and carring at the same time? I would prefer a non cab model as I have some clearence issues in one barn I clean. I may also want to mow hay with a 9ft NH489 haybine and also bale...

I just received a winter schedule service add just today. I couldn't find what it all included. The bill always seems to be more than advertised. I have always done my own to save money. I have found though the filters at my local Deere dealer are less expensive than my local NAPA store.

On this cold January day it is nice to look at some hay pics from warmer days!;) Mowing with a 1466 with 479 NH Haybine and JD 4430 with 489 NH Haybine. Orchard/alfalfa mix. Mowing first cut, about 3 weeks late!:( Great yield though!:D...

Your right. I was close.:)

And Case-IH was such a strong comany that it was gobbled up by Fiat-Agri. A little history that has some similar things going on right now. IH was No.1 for alot of years and found itself in a negitive cash flow situation (similar to GM now) in the early 80's and chose a partner who had cash...

The Allis & Gleaner Company which is AGCO.

They all look well built. Which model would you recomend for hay and livestock operation? It will do a lot of loader work such as picking up round bales and barn cleaning. How are they to service?

Does anybody have any experience of operating or owning a TD5050? I have been looking for a tractor in the 70 to 90 hp range with a FEL to use on my small livestock and hay operation. This is a economy NH in that HP range. Roughly quoted to me in the $40,000 range with a loader. It is made...

Hi All, I have a small livestock and hay operation. I sell hay and do some custom work. I am looking for a new tractor with a FEL with enough capacity to pick up large round bales (1200# Max) and stack two bales high. Also I would use it on a small square bale grapple to pick up bales from my...
