    stub guards

    I have used stub guards on my mower conditioners and now have them on an IH 1300 mower. Bought them from Shoup. All the stub guards I've seen are double guards. They (Shoup) may have guards with the correct hole spacing to fit your Ford mower. Hope you can find some that fit as they really...

    What implements for hay are you guys using for higher volume?

    I used a New Holland bale wagon too. (104 bales per load) I only did about 5K bales per year and finding any kind of help was nearly impossible. One consideration with a bale wagon if unloading a stack inside a barn is the height clearance needed.

    4020 PTO loud buzzing

    I don't have a cab on my 3020, but the little flat spring strip that is on the brake peddle lock (that locks the two brake peddles together) can vibrate and buzz loud enough I can hear it when using the PTO. Just a guess, but a cab might actually amplify it.

    Case 555 - Heston PT-10

    One roller is rubber covered. The other has steel bars. They do not interlock.

    case 555 haybine.

    They were a good machine. The sickle drive on the Case I had was the older style used on the Hesston PT 10. (Newer PT 10's used a universal joint instead of a ball joint) Be sure to look for wear on those drive parts. If the one you are looking at has the ball joint type driver, they can be...

    Handling small square bales

    I use a 1033. They need right at 16 feet of clearance. I made pallets out of 2x4's. They are put on the empty wagon and the hay is loaded against them. When you dump in the barn the pallet is on the bottom and holds the stack off the floor. Pallets also make pulling away from the stack...

    Hay Barn Floor Question

    As was pointed out, having the barn's floor grade higher than its surrounding helps a lot. I store small square bales on pallets made from 2x4s. It lets air get under the stack and keeps the bottom bales off the ground (my barn has a gravel floor). A note, the first pallets I made using 1x6's...

    Turn around--don't drown!!!!!!!!!

    The farm I grew up on is west off of Keller Highway. Crazy Joe's fish house is where dad's machine shed set. I hadn't been out that way for many years. Last Memorial Day weekend I drove through the area. Nothing is the same. There are at least seven homes on the farm my parents had.

    Turn around--don't drown!!!!!!!!!

    Is that the same creek north of Murphysboro the non-local news men pronounce "bee cop"? I grew up on the north end of Kinkaid creek, near the quarry.

    1st try of a picture

    When I was a teenager, one of my neighbors had a bale loader for his wagons and his truck. I believe the brand name was Kneib (or something close to that). As I remember you mounted a bracket on the wagon and then just one bolt attached the loader to the bracket. It then towed along side the...

    1st try of a picture

    In the past I had the little brother to your baler ( had an IH 37 baler and a IH 300 tractor ). Finding anyone to help handle small bales is tough around here. I couldn't do it without the bale wagon.
