    Tedding question

    We usually wait 24 hours to tedd after mowing with the disk mower. We want the hay to dry somewhat so that when we tedd it kinks the hay.

    Hesston 1110 and New Holland 156 at Work

    We bought a 1120 for first cut to condition the hay and use a disk mower on 2nd or 3 rd cut. The disk mower was our first implement bought new and I love it, it just doesn't cut it on first cut hay. We bought a 4 basket tonutti for $1,200 and all it needed was a roll pin to work properly. If...

    Hay Equipment Questions

    The only way hay wrapped was on second cut and the wind was blowing when using a 56 rake.

    Locked and Loaded

    Looks like my 1120, just setting. Too wet here in western Va.

    520 hydraulics

    Single. The only thing this tractor used the hydraulics for was the dump wagon. I don't the he used it on the grinder but at his age he might have switched it to dual. I am going to hook it to the haybine and see what happens.

    Farmall 340

    Thanks for the info. The general rule for us is no tractors to feed in mud as we feed with a 4 wheeler which is why we use small bales. This tractor is a row crop and the heaviest bales weigh 450 most weigh 400. In a perfect world I would put a loader on our MF 1233 and all would be great...

    Farmall 340

    Our main loader tractor is across the mountain 30 miles away at the summer pasture. I don't like putting the loader on the 2520 during hay season and I am the only one who knows how to mount the loader. I have driven all kinds of tractors and although I prefer JD nothing is off the table. The...

    520 hydraulics

    After buying my uncles 520 at auction the remote hydraulics don't work. I know I was the last one to use them and it worked fine. It has plenty of oil it just whines when trying to raise the dump wagon when it is empty. I don't use the hydraulics much, but I want it to work when I need...

    Farmall 340

    I am going to an auction on Saturday that has a 340 with loader for sale. What are the pros and cons of this tractor? I will use it as a Tedder/rake, move 450 lb round bales and general odd jobs. Repairs are not a problem as we have a lot of mechanics in the area if I can't fix it.

    520 hydraulics

    When we purchased our uncles 520 it didn't have any fluid in power trol. After filling it, it whines when trying to use hydraulics. I am thinking it has air in the system as it worked the last time I used it before he passes away. I don't want to take it to the local mechanic even though they...

    Seed Drill Recommendations

    Brilliant is the best with tillage, IH 5100 has been the best 10-12 ft with tillage (disk and rototiller) after that with a no till I like the 1590. We have a hard time as we plant weird varieties to all the dairy and beef farmers and have to find the proper rates to plant.
