    Ford 1920 losing power after hitting rock

    I have a Diesel Ford 1920 with about 2000 hours. I was running a brush hog over some fields when I hit a rock. The engine started to struggle then quit. None of the indicator lights were coming on. I restarted it a couple times. Sometimes it would struggle to idle for a while then quit. Once or...

    3 plow tractor recommendations?

    I did a quick search, and it looks like we have more 275s than 175s nearby. Does the 175 have a better reputation for reliability? Or is the cost just usually lower? Thanks.

    3 plow tractor recommendations?

    I'm thinking cheap in the long run. I don't mind paying more up front if I'm going to spend less on repairs and have more time in the field. I definitely can't pay 10,000. 5,000 would be ok. Drawbar HP should be about 45+ for my land. Thanks for all the suggestions so far.

    3 plow tractor recommendations?

    So, I"m thinking of upgrading from the old 9n. I"d like to be able to pull a 3-14 plow. Aside from that, I"d like it to be fairly cheap and reliable. I"d prefer diesel over gas. I"ll also have to get a loader on it. I"m not stuck on any particular color. Any recommendations?

    Diagnosing lousy stand

    My drill is an old JD/VB without press wheels. I did pull a cultipacker behind it, but the ground wasn"t really leveled out enough. We do get pretty good rainfall here (PA).

    Diagnosing lousy stand

    Ok, thanks for the advice. You mentioned a pass with the harrow after planting. Would that be to cover the seed? Couldn't you just use chains on the drill? or is there a good reason to make another pass?

    Diagnosing lousy stand

    I'm probably going to have to deal with some amount of stones in the soil. Maybe with all that oat money I'll be able to buy a rock picker. Aside from that, what do you think would give the most bang/buck in terms of seedbed prep? Leveling? Trying to pulverize the clods with tiller or disc...

    Diagnosing lousy stand

    Ok, so I just bought a drill that I"d like to use to put in some oats this spring. I thought it would be a good idea to test it out first. So, I tilled up about 2.5 acres and planted it with buckwheat underseeded with red clover. For tillage, I moldboard plowed half of the land, then ran a...

    Howard rotavator vs. Countyline

    Which model did you have? I've heard a lot of good things about them, but it was mostly about the heavy units.

    Howard rotavator vs. Countyline

    So, I"d like to try out a heavy tiller on my fields. Good bit of clay and rocks, so it can"t be flimsy. I"ve found an old Howard HR10-155, which is apparently one of the lighter ones that they made. The CountyLine ones seem to have similar quality construction (to the HR10 anyhow), and people...

    Drill recommendations for 9n

    The stuff on craigslist near me is mostly expensive no-till stuff. There is an old wooden Ontario drill (I also see these a lot at auctions). Any idea if they are any good?

    Drill recommendations for 9n

    I"m looking for a good old drill to pull with my 9n. I"d want to plant mainly small grains, soybeans, buckwheat - grass box would be great too. This would be going into a system with tillage. I"d want something relatively inexpensive, versatile, reliable. It would be great if parts were still...

    tires vs. tubes

    Thanks for the advice guys. I'm planning to just drive it to the garage and have them replace the tube and ballast. The leak should be slow enough for that.
