    implement to leval tilled field?

    Question. How is your neighbors field going to reseed your field? If the "soybean guy" said the neighbors hay field will reseed your field, he is lieing to you. Your ground has been plowed, the only way you will get anything other then weeds is to replant it yourself with grass seed.

    Round baler hitch pin problems

    You dont want that sucker tight. It needs to be a tad smaller to give it some play. When its tight like that and gets into a bind that pressure builds up and something has to give. Which is the pin.

    Toyota skidloader pros/cons

    check with a local John Deere dealer. When toyota was selling the skidloaders in the US back in the early 90"s John Deere was the dealer for them. Parts are a $$$$$$$ expensive. Me personally I would stay away from the Toyota. Back in the day they were good machines but not anymore.

    Mag and Oil
