    New England Butt Braider Patterns Needed

    I bought a NEB braider and I would like to know if anyone has a list of patterns or where to find them. I have a Model 1B with 16 carriers. I also do NOT have a manual, but the machine runs very nice.

    Old Kelly Ryan Feed Wagon, What Kind of Bearing is This?

    I have a number of 1 pillow block bearings, but they are the square type. If that is a repair behind it and it may require some cutting, could I just swap it out with a square pillow block?

    Old Kelly Ryan Feed Wagon, What Kind of Bearing is This?

    I have an old Kelly Ryan feed wagon and the bearing went out the other day, looks pretty easy to get out and change, but what kind is it? Is it a regular ball bearing just clamped between two pieces of steel? Any ideas?

    DH4B Trencher Won't Spin Trenching Chain

    Checking the internet, I found my model and I see in this photo another hydraulic lever that I don't have. Is that the SELECTOR? My machine has been painted a second time and all the labels are gone.

    DH4B Trencher Won't Spin Trenching Chain

    Update, I disconnected the hydraulic pressure line to the trencher hydraulic drive motor, when I did that I can turn the digging chain around a whole lot more. When I pulled the hose, water came out of the hydraulic motor, it is January up here in the north and I was wondering if the motor was...

    DH4B Trencher Won't Spin Trenching Chain

    I just acquired an older DH4B, Mitsubishi diesel, runs fantastic, backhoe works, but the trenching chain does not. If I pull the lever to move the chain forward or backwards, it will move JUST SLIGHTLY. Maybe one tooth, then stop. You can hear the hydraulic pump working, but nothing is...

    Turf Mats for a Pneumatic Tire Forklift

    I've used plywood and OSB in the past, problem is that this year panel products and just about all lumber is ridiculous in price. Stuff that a year ago was junk, now is selling on Craigs, etc.

    Turf Mats for a Pneumatic Tire Forklift

    I am going to put up a decent size pole barn this spring and I would like to use my triple boom pneumatic tire forklift. (Clark C500) Nice machine, with plenty of capacity. My site currently has been stripped of all top soil and is a nicely packed pad of hard clay. I am afraid that even...

    Push button controls for arblast sprayer

    Ok, I have an older FMC 100 gallon arblast sprayer that we use in our orchard. It had two manual string pull valves that pump the contents from one side of the sprayer or the other, a left and a right valve. I am now using a tractor with a full cab and I no longer want to use the pull strings...

    Using a Feed Mixer/Grinder for mulch/compost

    I’m leaning towards a Kelly Ryan feed wagon, anyone know of one close to Kenosha Wi? I have a 25ft Cardinal elevator and I was thinking I could load the wagon, feed the material into the elevator and dump it right back into the wagon to mix. Thoughts?

    Using a Feed Mixer/Grinder for mulch/compost

    Sounds like a feed wagon is the best bet. I see there are 2 kinds, one with an auger on the floor only for unloading and one with three augers, two for mixing, one for unloading. The mixing part is important to me so I make sure I have an even mix going across all rows. Single auger wagons...

    Using a Feed Mixer/Grinder for mulch/compost

    Do you think that a hammer mill would not grind up the wood chips, manure, etc? I figure, if it is small enough and dry, it will feed through the auger. I also want the mulch mixed well. I want to see if I can help fertilize with what manure I have along with compost, chips, bedding and saw...

    Using a Feed Mixer/Grinder for mulch/compost

    Ok, I know this is not the typical use for a feed mixer, but I was wondering if I could grind 20-21 winter manure, aged wood chips, chicken bedding, sawdust, compost, OLD hay and straw. I have 2000 apple trees and a few thousand raspberry plants. Every spring, we are adding mulch to the bottom...
