    Things dad used to say

    Not my dad, but a good guy who just passed on used to say- About as handy as a one legged man in an a$$ kicking contest. I'll never forget that. BJ-WI

    O/T Kubota arrived today

    Hi Phillip, looks great to me. Dairy farming is tough work, I know. It gets frustrating fixing all the time. It seems like a never ending battle. It's nice to have good equipment to get the work done 7 days a week. BJ-WI

    2+2 questions

    The 2+2's do have pros and cons. I'm satified with the ride they give. I have two 3788s. Each has around 3000 hours. I had the first for 12 years and the second over a year now. That one came from a neighbor who owned it for 25 years. What I don't like about the 3788s is they only have 1000 rpm...

    2+2 equals.....

    A lot of work getting done. I had my manure pit pumped on Saturday, so I chiseled it in on Sunday and hope to plant corn today. BJ-WI

    I pulled the trigger yesterday

    Bruce, you will like it. I prefer the inline myself because you use much less plastic and it's easier to get the plastic off them to feed. I don't know what moisture you bale at, but I hate wet, sloppy bales. So I try for 30-40% moisture. In my situation, the dryer hay unrolls better. You will...

    Warm Wisconsin Day

    I had to try out my Ferguson spring tooth drag I bought last week. It works good behind the '48 8n to level out the driveways. It was close to 70 degrees today. BJ-WI

    Come on little deer...

    Ultradog, are you sure that "small white packet" is not deer cocaine?...lol. I haven't planted food plots around me because I have large alfalfa/hay fields to attract deer. Some guys plant rutabagas in food plots and say the deer go crazy for them. I was thinking of planting some this year near...

    OT: Greatest Country Western Song Line Ever

    I'm quite a bit younger than most folks on this forum, but I love all these songs. It's tough to pick out only one clever line. Merle and Hank Sr. were true poets, in my opinion. They lived it, wrote it and sang it. And, Merle had the greatest voice in his younger days. That said, the earliest...

    Who keeps one around for recreation, doing chores, checking fences or cattle, or running fuel to a stalled tractor...lol? BJ-WI

    BJ-WI picture for you

    That looks great, Bruce. I like how the cows face each other. You use the skid steer to scrape out the manure? BJ-WI

    Bruce from Canada

    Bruce, it should handle any height bale as long as it is 4 ft long. I make my balage 4?4 because that is all the higher my barn ceiling will allow...lol. Green line, I have an alley at the end of the barn 8 ft wide, that's where I load the unroller. My newest, and widest barn Manger is around...

    Part question on NewHolland chopper

    I have a NH 230. I don't know what shape the rollers are in on mine, seems like they are still round, but I change heads exactly as Ben does. BJ-WI

    Jeffcat- thanks for the tips. The first few days I scraped a little orange paint off...lol. I have a few Honda motors and they seem to burn rich, which causes the air filter to get restricted. BJ-WI

    Bruce from Canada

    To get the wrap off I just start spinning the bale and grab one end of the wrap and the wrap unrolls, about 2 rotations . After the wrap is off, then the hay starts to unroll and I drive it around. I feed one bale in the morning and one at night. It takes about ten minutes to unroll a bale. The...
