    Value of Case 311?

    Found this on a local online ad. I"m not a Case nut and have never heard of a 311. Is this a rare beast or just a junker? What would you expect to pay when the ad says "runs good, smokes a little but has sat for a while". Asking price is under $1000.

    Corn stubble

    Paul, how do you move the hitch over without getting off and on the tractor? Do you plant the whole field and then go back over the same tracks with the hitch moved?

    Kind of an OT but kinda not

    I use a piece of 4" pvc with a cap on it turned upside down and bolted to the fender. Line the inside of it with stick-on foam..........good to go.

    Frost seeding alf alfa

    Generally speaking, frost seeding of alfalfa is not recommended, especially into existing stands of grass. There ARE exceptions to the rule when it will work. The grass needs to be eaten basicly down into the ground so as to provide the best possible seed/soil contact. Any "tillage" prior to...

    Good idea for winter time water tanks

    A friend of mine came up with a darn good idea for protecting/helping with open top water tanks in the winter. He takes a piece of 2" insulation board and cuts it to fit the tank. He cuts a hole in it big enough for the livestock to drink through. He places the entire piece of insulation on...

    Current pasture rental rates

    My brother and I just rented 230 (all open) acres for $30.00 per acre. It's a good grass farm in central Mo., good fences, with adequate water.

    Accumulator Question

    I "had" a Farmhand accumulator. It worked fine as long as all the bales were uniform in length. I traded it for a Netherex all manual accumulator. The Farmhand was "over-engineered" in my opinion. 'Just way too many moving parts. The all manual unit just made sense to me. I've had it for...

    Welding T post together ??

    Just drive one T post into the ground and then slip a 14 or 16 ft piece of schedule 40 3 inch PVC pipe over the post. Much safer and no welding required.

    moldy rye bales

    I am currently waiting results of the forage analysis. However, I did not ask for any mold/toxins etc. tests. You have an interesting thought.......the only way I'd know would be to have the tests done and they ARE expensive.

    What have you found along the road

    This past summer I found a local man's paycheck laying out in the street. It was endorsed as well. It was for $724.00. I tried calling him but couldn't reach him. I called the company he worked for and they came and picked it up and would give it to him. 'Never heard another word, not even...

    Sanding hardwood floors

    I built a new house for myself 9 years ago. I wanted hickory hardwood floors because they look SO good! I went to the woods and cut and hauled enough shag-bark hickory logs to do all my flooring. I had the logs sawed and then milled into flooring. It took six months from logging to dried...

    Rye silage bales moldy

    Thanks for the replys. The bales were baled with a (new) New Holland round baler. I baled orchard grass/alfalfa silage bales the day after these and had no problems. The cows are eating the rye, but as kyhayman said, they sure don't like it. I"ve starting feeding them outside without...

    Rye silage bales moldy

    I baled 89 rye silage bales this past summer and wrapped them for silage bales. They weigh 1400 pounds each and are wrapped well. The bales have a lot of white mold throughout. The moisture is approximately 60 percent. The rye was too mature when it was baled due to wet conditions preventing...

    disc mowers for alfalfa hay,(will it dry)

    The straight disc mower will do fine in grass. I persnoally like to ted my hay after it wilts. Getting alfalfa to dry is TOTALLY dependant upon the weather especially the humidity. The type of machine that it is cut with makes little difference under high humidty conditions. I use a...
