    Silo update

    That is really disappointing. One thing to remove the trees, but a landmark?? The younger generations will never understand what things like that mean to the community. Here I was disappointed when my cousin took down the silos of our relatives farm What it looked like in the 70's 2019 2023

    The Farm. Haying and Cattle Thread

    Late evening dirt work. Preparing for rye tomorrow. Rye planted. Spoiled this year. No bags, buying from my cousin so got to use the seed tender. I'll say it fills the drill in minutes but reality is a minute and some and that is not even full speed. Darn quick. Last of...

    How to secure empty hitch?

    For the purpose stated here yes. All equipment is expensive. But if you must know it is considerably cheaper to maintain my JD over my NH. And not “a” JD. 5 JD, 1 NH, 1 IH. 55hp-180

    How to secure empty hitch?

    Bungee cord on all mine. Includes 4430/4040/2350. Heavy duty 21” 2 per tractor. Holds the arms solid whether in cat 1 or 2 setting. Easy to take off and store in toolbox. Twine is a pain and never used. Ratchet strap is cumbersome and tail if not stored properly for the pto to catch. 3pt...

    The Farm. Haying and Cattle Thread

    Zahm & Matson and Gallup & Tenhaken now Landpro are my 2 JD dealers. All my dealers are NY as they are closer. It can be difficult but then there are times when drying hay is to easy. I actually prefer Oct/Nov hay making over July/Aug. Just a different mentality. Copy and paste from another...

    The Farm. Haying and Cattle Thread

    Teff is a hard crop. Did it once. Timing is critical, it goes from good to see fast and if a hard rain it's on the ground flat. The next cutting of Millet I hope makes it to frost. Want it more mature. Hopefully doesn't get to mature by mid October and we freeze. then it can dry in the field. If...

    For as impressive as the yield looks millet shrivels up to nothing lol. 20 bales off of 8 acres. When mowing thinking 80+ bales. When done mowing was hoping for 40.

    Another round on the ground. 20 plus acres of first and 2nd cutting for baling on Friday. Starting the fields where logistics comes in as the fields have no customer access and all the hay needs to be hauled back to the barn for pickup. Doing both rounds and squares on first and rounds for the...

    10-16’s. My biggest concern was putting the wrong ones on and have the tractor sloped up or down.
