    Tractor/Implement size rule of thumb?

    I guess that would be pertinent information. I'm raising heritage hogs and chickens and want to grow heirloom corn, soybeans, and possibly small grains to feed them. I don't necessarily need to start organic, but I would like to work that direction. I currently work full time and can invest...

    Tractor/Implement size rule of thumb?

    Oh, and the other reason I didn't look into them closely is I heard it's hard to grow organically with no till. They generally use a lot of pesticides from what I understand.

    Tractor/Implement size rule of thumb?

    Are there no-till planters that a 35hp tractor can handle? I haven't looked into them much, but I was under the impression they were usually larger equipment.

    Tractor/Implement size rule of thumb?

    I appreciate everybody's feedback. RedGreenGuy, just to clarify when you say plant in six weeks do you mean plow, disc, and seed within that period?

    Tractor/Implement size rule of thumb?

    Are there any rules of thumb to help you determine the size of tractor/implement you need to till and plant a particular acreage? How about going the other way around. For example, I have a 35HP tractor with a 2-16" bottom plow, 6' disc, two row seeder, and two row cultivator. Is 30-50 acres...

    Widening tire spacing on 3 cyl JD 830

    I just picked up a 3 cyl JD 830. The tires are currently set at 54" center-to-center, and I would like to widen that to 60". How do I accomplish that? I see how to adjust the front, but how do I make the tie rods work? Is there three inches of adjustment or will I need to buy new ones? What do I...

    Soybean Harvester?

    I completely understand where you're coming from, but my stubbornness refuses to give up the idea I can do it myself ha. I hate relying on others. It's something I should probably work on. Thank you, and I happy thanksgiving to you too!

    Soybean Harvester?

    I was afraid that might be the case. I guess I'll start researching small, inexpensive combines. I plan to have about 15 acres in corn/soybeans this year and I'll probably be adding to that in future years. By the time I bought a corn picker, and a AC 66 or the like, I could probably just about...

    Soybean Harvester?

    Hey y'all. I'm new to the tractor world, but I just bought a 1975 (I think) JD 830 which I'm really excited about. I'm planning to use it in a vegetable garden as well as to grow food for my hogs and chickens. My question is, what do you use to harvest soybeans with? Surely there's a way to do...
