    Now or next year

    Im in Minnesota, just south of minneapolis. Had about 3-4 tablespoons of rain this summer. So the hay hasn't grown much. Most folks got one and a half cuts some less. We got 1/2 of normal, hope the drought is over.

    Now or next year

    My neighbor has said he would appreciate it if I would use about 1.7 acres of land adjacent to ours to make hay because his equipment has gotten big enough that it is a pain to get back there. So rather than add to the weed population, our cutting it for hay would benefit us both. My question...

    What is a model 68 new holland baler worth

    Sounds like the owner(s) think $200.00 isn't out of consideration. I asked if the long chain guard was around, the plunger is NOT happy to be moved. Couldn't tell what shape the sliders are in but judging from the look inside the chamber I'm guessing not great. I'm sitting back and...

    What is a model 68 new holland baler worth

    A friend is having a farm auction and has a model 68 baler in fair shape everything is there and moves but is way out of time (owner was "tinkering" with it). It was dark when I looked at it so no pictures. I have a couple of 271's that I use and he was going to give me a shot at it before...

    Late Model 2010 Tractors

    Candle wax 'n heat, never thought/heard of that, but makes sense. Last night's winner was drilling out the plug and using a 1/4" bolt in the center using a small (as possible) puller to grab the outside of the bearing. The hole must relieve the tension enough to release the inner race. No...
