    Bale Spears

    Any thoughts on this Titan rear spear? https://www.ebay.com/itm/296257569088?mkevt=1&mkpid=2&emsid=e90001.m162181.l175007&plmtId=700008&mesgId=3024&mkcid=8&ch=osgood&bu=43196524432&trkId=c1a4a615-a998-4c29-85e4-eea83e179d3a&cnvId=700003&recoId=296257569088&recoPos=1

    Bale Spears

    Don't buy King Kutter. Quick attach doesn't mate up correctly and metal is thin. Spear came off loader in just a few uses.

    Trailer tires, best bang for the buck?

    What’s some of best deal on 15 inch trailer tires? Has one go today while loaded. I guess they were about 8 years old so did well. Not a lot of miles really. Guess the same brand isn’t available now. All the local places keep Trailer King and that’s it.

    Calf issues...

    Noticed another calf weak today and one eye is cloudy. any ideas? Vet basically said if one dies need to get it tested.

    Calf issues...

    Nothing definite wants me to try poly serum. Thinking this last one was a hard birth and possibly the weather. Seems to be a few others are having trouble so maybe weather has played some role. She suggested if I lose another to take it to the college lab.

    Calf issues...

    Seems like this year has started rough, lost the first calf. My fault probably for not culling the cow last year not the best udder. Another cow her calf seemed weak and I started supplementing it and seems to be improving. Saw one born Sunday afternoon and I gave it colostrum to be sure it...

    Hauling 10ft wide cutter?

    It would take major disassembly to get it narrow.

    Hauling 10ft wide cutter?

    No not crossing the state line.

    Hauling 10ft wide cutter?

    Without disassembly I doubt it would help.

    Hauling 10ft wide cutter?

    I think I have a good used cutter located and the dealer is willing to take my 10 foot in trade. About a 100 miles away and doesn’t seem too interested in delivering. How much trouble could I possibly get into hauling it on my gooseneck? Best route would have some interstate roads.

    Rotary cutter suggestions

    Not sure if they came from the same dealer or not. I experimented with mine a lot, they gave me a different set of blades to try, never has picked up the grass that the tractor runs over.

    Rotary cutter suggestions

    If mine cut better I would be happier, lived with it over 20 years and probably will longer. I get real disappointed in the cut quality as it won't pick the grass up and tracks stand back up.
