    Ford Eco-Boost V-6 engines

    4000 pound tractor, not 400. Also, in colder weather fuel economy drops off. Seen some after market software loads that are suppose to address this, but haven't tried them.

    Farm diesel

    Be careful about that, algae can sometimes grow in diesel fuel if it sets too long. Large data centers and other mission critical facilities that need to store large quantities of diesel for their generators usually have elaborate filter systems and continuously circulate their fuel to prevent...

    Back-Up For New Holland 68

    Just make some shed space for that 68, and use it once and a while, so when you find you need to use it, its ready to go. They all break, and with horse hay you can not afford time to fix it with the short windows we have in VA.

    Electrocuting water tanks

    4020 offers a good description of how to do this right, run the UF cable to a GFCI outlet with an IN-USE weather proof cover. You can use buried PVC conduit and THHW or XHHW-2 insulated wire instead of the UF cable if you want. Couple of other things. Is this plugged in to a GFCI outlet? GFCI...

    Case 630 Glow Plugs

    Does the Autolite BH12-2 or Champion CH3 work as a replacement for the autolite BH12-1 on a case 630 Diesel? If not, does anyone know of source for the BH12-1 that is affordable? Thanks and a belated Merry Christmas!

    Wire size

    Lights are usually 35 watts, so at 12 volts they pull 3 amps. So a #16 wire will be fine, but I use a #14 on my tractors. Just my preference.

    311B on Craigslist

    Great looking tractor! On the wrong coast to purchase it though. I do have on question, why does it have a Ferguson 3pt hitch and not an Eagle Hitch? Was that something you did or did you get it from the factory that way, which I did not think was an option?

    230 square baler

    I have a case 230 hay baler and have baled about 850 bales so far this year with one more cutting to go, so capacity wise it should work for you. It is a first gear baler, it likes a good windrow but wants it fed in 1st gear. I do get a mistie every 150 to 250 bales, and very few "banana" bales...

    14T versus 214 T opinions?

    10 acres of Alfalfa, halfway through baling it and it breaks at 4:00 PM, with rain tomorrow. At $500.00 that's pretty cheap insurance. Doesn't matter how new you regular baler is either, new or old they all break.

    Knotter diagnostic guide that I found online

    I had that happen to me with the twine or tucker finger bell crank. Finally loaded the bale chamber with hay (tractor power) then stopped the tractor and turned it slowly by hand looking at it tie the knot. Looked at some other knotters for the same make and noticed the different angle. Set the...
