    FOrd 535 Mower/Conditioner

    So I was dropping off a riding mower at a consignment auction tonight and there were a bunch of haybines... What is everyone's opinion on the Ford 535 mower/conditioner? How is parts availability..I've read they are the same as a NI and MF model as well. Any ideas? Chris

    Round Baler remotes...

    Hello everyone- Just a question out of curiosity. Is there any Round baler that does not require at least 2 hydraulic remotes? I do custom baling with square bales right now, and I'm wondering if any of the older round balers had less of a requirement on hydraulics..since my M only has one...

    532 Ford baler

    I have some experience here! I started last year with a Ford 532...spent a huge amount getting it straightened out (I had bought it for $100.00)...I baled a few fields with it, then the plunger arm grenaded and broke parts which are no longer available, so I gave it away for free on craigslist...

    Any ideas about this old manure spreader?

    Thats definitely better than a "decorator." That said I think 100 -300 is a fair price. The auctions around here (northern VA), manure spreaders of that vintage can go for 10 dollars...if no one's there to buy one, or 600, as they did this past weekend, when there were a lot of people there...

    Equipment Help

    I would say the one biggest difference in the world of row crops from the 1950s to today is the replacement of the tractor and various implements for harvesting corn and grain with the combine. I would say that one of the other big changes between the 1950s and now is the growth in no-till or...

    Ford 501 Sickle Bar Compatibility

    Ok, I think the good news is that all the parts of this clamp are there, and with you all telling me where to clamp it, I should be ok! We'll see how it goes. Thanks for all the help.

    Ford 501 Sickle Bar Compatibility

    I have a Ford 501 sickle bar mower that I bought for 50 bucks at an auction. It seems to have another connector piece beyond the normal three point hitch points. Its attached to the lower portion of the mount for the mower, and looks as if its supposed to clamp onto something. I'm not sure if...

    working on IH 46 square baler

    I've got a IH 46 that I started using the end of last year, and it works very nicely. As far as getting the twine in...same as any other baler, just thread the twine through the needles, and then tie it off to something under the baler. Then, trip the tying mechanism while the PTO is running...

    David Bradley hay rake transport

    Question for you all. I use an old David Bradley side delivery rake, which I am very happy with the performance of..especially for a 60 year old machine! That said, does anyone have any tricks while towing the rake to the field to limit the side to side swaying that happens on the road with the...

    International Baler

    I just started using an IH 46 baler (I think somewhat related to yours) this past season. Once I had it serviced...it baled very nicely...nice tight bales. As with any baler...the real issue is if there is something broken..thats where the expenditure is going to be...was it not used much...

    Implements for 3 acres pasture and...?

    Not to pile on, but as someone who works in soil conservation, the rule of thumb for horses is one horse per three acres here in VA. With the intensive rotational grazing, you will see an improvement in grazing, but I don't think enough to have anything left over after the horses are done, and...

    mini square bales

    I know the farm I used to work at bought a little hand powered machine. You had to tie the bales by hand, but it packed them using a big lever. I'm not sure where they got them from...but it was definitely a hand powered machine.
