    Something good to say

    In Wisconsin, we can renew by mail which is quick and easy. We also have a machine in our grocery store where we can renew and get our stickers right now. There is a small charge for using the machine.

    Case 1976

    The 930 Case was one of best tractors I ever owned, wish I still had one.

    barn clean out

    You have a very nice, original tractor. There are very few in this condition. If it was mine, I would put it on Mecum's Gone Farmin Auction in November of 2023. That nice of an original tractor would bring a premium price at their auction in Moline,Illinois. They could get it hauled for...

    Gas vs propane tractors

    A big advantage of LP is that it never goes bad like gasoline does today. I doesn't gum up the fuel system. I have seen LP tractors sit for 10 years and all they needed to start was a new battery. One potential problem is the regulator, it can be hard to find parts for them and find people...

    High prices

    Prices on most things travel in cycles over time. All the free money the FED created in the last 10 years resulted in Government, Companies and individuals all buying more than they needed. This will probably not all end well. Individuals more than 60 days past due on vehicle payments is...

    Am I nuts ,or would you consider buying sight unseen?

    You would be money ahead to hire someone with a back hoe to do that type of work..Will cost you less than trying to use a worn out old machine. I would get a 3000 or 4000 Ford tractor, very easy to work on and relatively cheap parts. A good used skid steer would probably be the most useful...

    We live in Southern Wis for 9 months and Arizona for 3. Leave after Christmas and back at Easter Time. Have done this for 17 years and really enjoy it. We drive back and forth and enjoy seeing the rest of the country as there are many different ways we can take to get there and back. There is...

    Trailering Reality Check

    Hire it hauled. The little bit you save is not worth the risk of trying to do it on the edge of being safe and legal.

    Re: Narrow vs wide fronts?

    If I were you, I would find a good 5000 Ford. They have all the features you want, are economical to run and parts are very affordable and available. One of best older tractors made and about as bullet-proof as you will find.

    Magazines

    Unfortunately, there is little to no demand for these magazines. I have seen them bundled in groups of 12 and priced at $1.00 but no interest. Nursing or Retirement Homes are best places for them.

    Off topic: Lonely Maytag repairman.

    If you check Consumer Reports Magazine, Speed Queen is way ahead of everyone else in reliability. They are made in Ripon, Wis, not China and still use the old style mechanical controls. We bought a new set 2 years ago and could not be happier. They are simple to run and they work. That is...

    On Robo Calls, I keep a whistle near my phone..A good blast on the whistle gets them gone quickly and seems to have reduced the number of calls I GET.

    Canon G 5020 Printers

    As you know, the cost of a printer is the cost of the cartridges or ink. The last several years we had a Canon laser that was very expensive to maintain. The 4 cartridges cost about $300 and maybe you got 1500 pages. Our tech suggested we get an Epson 2850 EcoTank. Cost $300, but refilling the...

    Cold Here

    I grew up on a dairy farm in South Central Wisconsin. In January of 1951 it was -53 which was and is coldest it has ever been at that location. The bottom went out of our thermometer that day. Everything in barn froze up and was really a chore to tend to dairy cows that day. We used wood...
