    crab of the day

    Yes I hate the plastic rubber that we have now as well. Since we get real winter here regularly, it is a niusense in the cold but I suspect that natural rubber is very expensive now and that is why it is used. Can't get real rubber boots any more either. Now you have to get the more...

    Silo Saturation

    Wonder if any of those are still in use? That that yard site with the Herd King might still use the stave. There are a few silos here in Alberta and I check out any that I see to see if any are still used. I saw one 20 x 90 Harvestore being filled when I passed by otherwise out of 100 or so...

    Question on Abandoned properties Canada and upper western states.

    The biggest factor that drove farm consolidation into overdrive was zero percent interest. This made it so that only the BTO's can purchase any land that comes from sale. The easiest way to purchase high priced land is to refinance your existing land base using the new equity from the last...

    Agco gt75 door

    Those tractors were made by SAME, the parent of Duetz Fahr these days. There likely are some equivalent models out there.

    Silo for Saturday

    That one was sizable in its day. Looks to be 14 x 60. More of these silos would be in use today if ring drive unloaders had been on the scene sooner. I would not want to fight with a pack drive.

    Looking for advise on tractor purchase

    When looking for my first and only tractor, my priorities are loader and 4 wd. Never a loader tractor without 4 wd. The best value in your list is likely the Kubota but the market saw that and it is likely sold. I would then look at the IH 585 but wonder if that price is a bit negotiable...

    New to Hay Baling and need advice!

    If the 340 is a diesel and in better condition, I would get that one. My Dad ran a IH 484 with a loader baling with a NH 273 and a thrower wagon on it when I was a lad. 40 hp is plenty for a sickle bar haybine and baler that is not towing a wagon. Have fun haying.

    Best 4wd 45hp tractor from 1980s era

    The best 45hp fwd loader tractor is the one that is available. If the market for that is anything like here, it is like finding a unicorn. I would never have a loader tractor on a 2 wd. My loader tractor is a NH 7635 4wd. That is a FIAT tractor painted blue and it has been very good to...

    Lead-acid battery prices

    Just bought 2 new ones from my local AGCO dealer for $120 Cdn + core exchange last week. Cheaper than the smaller one that fits my wife's car.

    Snowed In at Work, but that Didn't Stop Me!!

    We get entertained when it is cold down south. It is in the 'single digits'. Oh no. Two weeks ago it was -50 here (central AB with wind chill) and it was not as bad as I had thought it was going to be. Fortunately, it did warm up with it being around freezing for the high the past couple days.

    How to remove grain tank extension on combine?

    It is likely one piece. I would take it off as well and save your final drives. Overload+ elderly final drives= final drive failure. I would slide it to one side and tilt it down on my loader pallet forks and then strap the high side to the loader and lift it off that way. Most older...

    Worst tractor you ever drove

    No such thing as a bad tractor. Only thing bad about tractors are payments and repairs. Otherwise all good. Have driven many brands and there are some I like more than others but can get along with almost anything. Even have done field work with two different Kirovets. (Belarus 7010 and...

    everybody quit for the nite

    Modern grain farming is about the easiest job out there. I am honest and tell people I farm to avoid a real job. And for many that is the case. If you add livestock to the mix then it becomes real work so I just stick with the grain. I do have a couple of off farm side gigs but farming is my...

    Is there any basic land rent formulas anyone goes by?

    Are you prepared to sell some land? Right now 6% interest on guaranteed savings so land prices should be falling soon. Am watching auctions and do see some parcels likely lower but good land is staying up there for now. Because land value have been inflated they seem to be well ahead on rent...

    New Holland 7635 - cool weather starting

    I have the same tractor and it has a preheat function. I turn the key to on and then hold down the button to the left of the steering wheel for about 30 seconds before cold starting. This is my loader tractor and I use it to clean my drive in winter. It is in cold storage and if below 20F I...

    The major potato growing region north of the border is in southern Alberta, centered around the town of Taber. It is home to three large french fry plants and a Lay's potato chip factory.

    April Harvest

    The wet cold years of 2018 (record Summer snow), and 2019 resulted in a spring harvest of both hard red spring wheat and canola for me east of Edmonton. Spring thrash is a better option around here vs binning it very wet in the fall. Biggest problem was deer poop but was able to clean it out.

    Got my NH 1409 discbine home.

    Looks good and should last. Up here on the poverty plains we farm with 30 to 60 year old equipment. I am sure that the original buyer of much of my equipment is no longer alive. Will seed my crop with a 39 year old AC 8070 this spring. Was looking to get another tractor but the recent grain...

    Chopping corn 2022

    How do the IH choppers work for you? An 881 showed at local consignment auction. Likely went for scrap as nobody uses a pull chopper around here any more. All Claas SP.
