    Anybody round baling on a side hill?

    I just picked up some more hayland that will put out a lot of hay. Problem is at the bottom of the slope is a main road and a house. I've baled on side hills before but not in a spot where if a bale got away from me it would TKO a car or a house. In the past I just tried to unload just...

    OT: Planting

    Here in Maine it got down to about 22 deg. F last night. This after one of the earliest springs we have ever seen. Hay in the fields is a foot high already. (good for here) We have Tomato's, peppers, salad greens, carrots, cabbage, broccoli and basil in our high tunnels but have not planted...

    OT: Leaking Septic Tank

    "The tank is setting on solid rock and the state new it was going to, only way it would work." Never ever put a tank on anything but a flat continuous surface. If there were just one high spot in the rock do you have any idea how much pressure that would put on the tank? A little sand would...

    Outdoor chickens - we give up

    We raise chicken and have around 200 layers on pasture. We use portable electric fences from Kencove fence, they do a great job. We have had to kill fox in the past. The trouble with killing predictors is that they are very territorial. Every time you kill one another one will come in and...

    OT: Leaking Septic Tank

    I have been a state plumbing inspector since 1994. In my state the code requires that the ground under the tank be flat and have 6 inches of sand under it. Check you subsurface waste disposal code and see what it says. Second I'm very surprised effluent is showing on the surface of the...

    Whats the worst piece of equipment you own?

    The worst piece of junk I own is a Duhz Farr tedder. It was poorly engineered, cheaply made and to top it all off the hay equipment division was sold out to another company so it"s not even the same company that makes the Duhz tractors any more. Am I the only one that owns a mistake? What"s...

    OT: some comparisons, what is your favorite?

    Well now I've got a pretty good memory. I don't remember being born but I do remember the dog barking because there was a stranger in the house. Put some more wood on the fire. It's colder than a dead witches t*t outside. This topic don't amount to a fart in a whirlwind. He went by going...

    What's your best tractor?

    I"m sure there will be some strong opinions on this one. I have a Farmall 140 a New Holland TN60A, a Ford 1310 and a John Deere 4020. The New Holland TN 60A is my best tractor. It runs great has plenty of power and is very well built. The only thing I don"t like is it"s loud enough so I wear...

    Does my 140's transission need to be rebuilt?

    When I changed the oil in the transmission of the Farmall 140 I got in February it looked like it had never been changed. I noticed a lot of noise in fourth gear from the transmission the other day when I was on the road also I have a fair amount of noise in reverse gear but the rest of the...

    What is this implement called?

    This is a very small field harrow. One way to it would be to kill weeds in a garden before planting. Several weeks before planting go over the garden and kill the thousands of weed seeds that have germinated making sure not to go too deep. Let more seeds germinate and then do it again. Every...

    Got her running

    Picked up a Farmall 140 around Christmas, She had been used and really abused. A tree had been dropped on it. The hydraulic oil looked like greenish yellow mud and the hydraulics were frozen up. The transmission oil looked like green mud too. The touch controls lever, steering wheel...
