    Tedder tine orientation

    Picked up a used 4 rotor older new holland tedder. My question is about the correct orientation of the tines on each arm. Should the tines that extend to the ground be on the leading edge of the time arm, or the trailing edge? I would think the times should be on the leading edge, allowing...

    JD round baler question....

    Tx Jim can keep me honest here but those cow catchers were on 400/410s and 500/510s. Consensus by most is that they were the worst round balers Deere ever made and maybe its to prevent operators from flinging themselves into the baler in frustration.......

    Tillage Disc blade question

    I have an ancient kewaneee 10 foot transport disc that needs some minor work. On the left and right front gangs, the outer most disc blade on each side are only partially there. I happened to measure a few of the good interior discs and they are 18 inches so I ordered a few, They arrived...

    John Deere 3020 wiring

    Tires, tin, and whether its a later model side console or not are all huge factors, and you did not mention them. If tin and tires are 'average" , $5500 to $6000 is about what you will get. Still more than the $4000 you have in it!!

    Early JD 3020 D synchro new winter problem

    Unfortunately i have experience with gelled fuel in subzero weather and in such cases the tractor simply dies, starved for fuel, and generally does not restart. In this instance the fuel had been treated with antigel. And yes, I will tell you I did not open the fuel filter bleed screws to...

    Early JD 3020 D synchro new winter problem

    Got to around 10 below last night. Went out to start the 3020 today. Let the tank heater run for about 2 hours. Then started the tractor. It was around 5 degrees now. It ran on low idle for 30 seconds to approx one minute and then sounded like it went under load for 3 or 4 seconds and died. It...

    John deere 3010 diesel

    I will be interested in seeing what others say. Would it be good if the pto clutch worked like the day it came from the factory? Sure! But the fact that it drifts or turns slowly is generally not that big of a deal in my experience. As long as you can hold it still while hooking up an...

    4020 steering re-build clip

    Actually Mcrafty1, Tim is in central Ohio and not Iowa. I happen to live within a couple hours drive of him and a year and half ago brought him my leaking steering valve from my 3010 and exchanged it for a rebuilt one. Has worked good ever since. I am no mechanic by a long shot and was...

    Small acreage profitability?

    I think to say each state has different regs is correct. In my state for example, (which is not Michigan), you do not need proof if your ag parcel is over 10 acres. If its under 10 acres, you do need to show proof each year you GROSSED at least $2500 annnually in order to keep the ag use...

    Small acreage profitability?

    You about 30mi north of 80 as it goes from Ohio to Indiana? Decent flat ground. Tiled or otherwise drains ok? If you just want to 'farm it" and make more than $100 an acre, some of the suggestions you have received are valid ideas, however you cannot really place any value on your time or at...

    I may, but most likely wont as i have a few spares around for emergencies and if the tri rib fails it will be replaced then. I seek the collective wisdom of the board so I dont have to "spend a few bucks"!!!! lol

    4320

    "Good shape" 4320s around me are in the mid to upper teens. Good tractor and as mentioned previously, replaced by another good tractor, the 4430.

    Hay Wagon chains

    I will be repairing or rebuilding a thrower bale wagon over the winter. Most of the bale wagons i have seen have a loop of chain wrapped over each main beam and then around the rear axle. therefore the beams at the rear of the wagon are not bolted to the rear wagon gear supports but are...

    Hay wagon

    Thanks for responses everyone. Barnyard has it pretty much correct, now that its in my barn the wagon will never see even 20 mph until its next owner tows it out of my lane. I will leave it on and see how it works out. I have not seen a set up like this and since this was a consignment sale...

    Has anybody else seen pricing trends changing.

    We had a big consignment sale locally last week. I thought things sold about where they should, did not see any material decrease. As long as we have the Case theme going, a 1175 cab went for $8500.

    Hay wagon

    I recently purchased a thrower bale rack hay wagon. It is 8 by 18 and probably would hold about 160 or 170 bales. The front tires are light truck tires. The rears are a 9L x 15 implement tire and a 9L x 15 tri rib front tractor tire, load range D. I am not positive but I think 8 ply rating...

    Vermeer 5420 baler

    Tom, I know your post is aimed at Mark, and also know baler prices can vary regionally and can definitly vary in areas where the Vermeer dealership network is not robust. Anyway, in an area where there are Vermeer dealerships a nice 5420 with 10K bales as Mark describes it in eastern US is...

    Vermeer 5420 baler

    The 5420 is a good baler. Is it the best baler out there? No. The Rebel series was aimed at the 'smaller' producer with obviously smaller acreage and most likely a baler tractor in the 50-100hp range. These balers are relatively simple to maintain, lighter, and lower capacity than other...
