    Does anybody still use vertical silo's anymore

    My neighbor has a small by todays standards family dairy, he uses the upright silos his dad had, he uses a bunker behind the house for corn silage, and he uses bags for haylage and other types of forage. Also some dry baled hay, and lots of wrapped wet alfalfa bales. Pretty much anything that...

    New Holland 2120 pull arms

    Depends on your orientation I guess? I would have called it perpendicular, as the tall side of the arm is perpendicular to the tall side of the rib. I see where you get parallel from, as both the arm and the rib are parallel to each other. But I wouldn’t want the arm and the rib to be laying...

    The Farm. Haying and Cattle Thread

    Yea those 4 rib tires are nice fronts for a loader tractor. I was daydreaming or something and was also looking at your rear tires and having difficulty understanding the tire change… blind to the obvious front tires. Paul

    Does anybody still use vertical silo's anymore

    The bags or tarps get holes, the bags there is no good way to empty except cut the bag open as you go. The cost of the plastic is often cheaper per year than the property taxes on a silo in a state like mine. It bugs me too to waste, or one time use a thing, but it comes out pretty good if you...

    What grass for pasture?

    There is 100 different ways to go…. A legume is nice to add some nitrogen to the grasses, can make mowing or grazing odd tho. As the alfalfa grows different timing than the grass. It’s actually nice when one slows down the other might grow well but - it’s also odd some times. Most clover is a...

    Help identify ford 6610 tractor part

    I have no idea if this is the right pump, but would it be the plug and snap rings around #16? Paul

    Cut barley yesterday

    I grew a little barley for a neighbor for a few years, he was feeding heritage hogs. Keeps the tallow more white than a corn diet. So now on the recalculated Fsa acres I will have 2.5 acres of barley on my records for decades I presume, instead of the 10 acres of wheat I’ve had on the records...

    DIESEL FUEL TREATMENTS...

    Power Service in the white bottle is generally liked by farmers, the clear bottle with yellow golden fluid is generally liked by truck drivers, I can’t come up with the name now - Howe’s I think. This is for winter treatment to keep from gelling. The more exotic treatments are for a special...

    Barn filling

    See this in my region in some neighborhoods, but not very close to me. Kind of neat to see. I don’t mind folk doing things their way if it’s not bothering others. The self imposed rules keep a community together in focus. Paul

    New Holland 2120 pull arms

    I mowed my pasture this month, it is very rough where the cattle dug out wallows like pigs would do. Grown over now so can’t see them but sure bounced through them! It was rough. The Workmaster 75 held up with the disc mower. And baler. And loading out the round bales. The 1720 held up raking...

    Rain

    We replaced the rain with smoke and humidity the past couple weeks. Locally we have had enough small rains to keep the crops looking great. But it is pretty dry, anyone on lighter ground to the west of me is looking parched and concerned. The humidity has been stifling along with the 90 degree...

    New Holland S-12 parts?

    Had to look that up. Early 1970s garden tractor. That will be a neat restore. Wonder if those parts were used in other models or years, it looks like the S-12 was only around a couple years. Be worth looking for cross models before, after, during that used the same parts? Paul

    The worst airfilter I have ever seen

    Back in the day a lot of farmers were still diversified with multiple livestock types and crops. You only owned enough tractors to get by, not one for every implement. Mow hay grind feed rake the hay you cut 2 days ago bale the hay you cut 4 days ago cultivate some beans, get ready to haul...

    Does anybody still use vertical silo's anymore

    A few are used here still. I think concrete is more popular Ryan the harvesters at this point. The big lawsuit on the harvestors took the wind out of them. But the plastic bags have become very popular. Bunkers or piles for the huge operations. Small mid size use remaining uprights and...

    New Holland 2120 pull arms

    I’m guessing you are talking about the 3pt lower arms? Are yours original, or replacement aftermarket? I’ve seen very bendable cheap replacements…. Even so, while pulling something they shouldn’t bend. Even the cheapies. Hat bends them is for example using a back blade in reverse. So you are...
