Hey Fellas', Kind of embarrasing to admit, but I can't find what I'm looking for in the 2000 page baler TM I bought two years ago. Here's the nitty gritty. I need to remove and repack piece 24 on Tension System diagram ST417922, which is found in PC2525 of jd parts look up for 456 and 466...

Picked up a JD 6200 with a 640 loader last week. I have an extra bale hugger with skidsteer attachment. Started looking for JD 640 type attachment brackets. $500 bucks delivered to the farm and you then have to fabricate/weld them to the implement. The other option is buy a JD600 series to...

Hi Folks, Looking to pick up a tractor for pulling a JD456 Silage Special round baler and a manure spreader. I only make about 200 4 by 5's/year and spread maybe 1500 yards of manure a year, so it wouldn't get a massive amount of usage. I'm looking at two now, maybe three. One is a good...

So I hay ten hayfields that aren't mine. Five of them are weak and I have been building them slowly with cow manure. The second cuts on these five is minimal. There is a local sheep guy in the area that I have offered them up to for him to graze. One of those five have a decent amount of...

Hello Folk's, Looking for some recommendations from experience for underbed/body mounted tool boxes. It'll be mounted under an aluminum EBY Flatbed. I have been looking at aluminum tool boxes. The prices are through the roof (anyone surprised?) so I figure as might's well get a good one...

Hello All, Spent good part of this last weekend shipping dairy manure to various hayfields with my new to me F650. I put higher sides on it and had the tailgate raised/modified to a manure tailgate. It can move 9-10 yards. Everything worked great with the exception of dumping it out. A decent...

So I've been borrowing a winter bull (nov-dec) and a summer bull (july-aug) to service my girls for the last 10 years. The brood herd has grown to 12 animals now. I would love to keep a bull from my herd. I have a nice little red/black angus cross that came from one of my best cows. I really...

Hello folks, Local Deere dealer had a used Kuhn 700 GII HD traded in and he agreed to let me try it out. I've mowed about 20 acres with it. I do like it. 9" 2" cut width is a big improvement from what I was using (5 1/2 foot width CCM drum mower). My biggest concern is the driveline protection...

Fellow hay cutters. Looking for some opinions/experiences. Krone AMR 240 all gear driven , turtles protected by a roll pin. (cost 1 buck) Kuhn GMD 240 gear and belt driven, Each turtle protected by a replacable hub. (cost 350 bucks) This seems like a no brainer, but there are a lot of Kuhns...

Hi All, I have six (or so) metal LG floats. Three of them have lost their white seating valve. Seems that if the rubber washer is removed/falls out and you're not paying attention, the white seating valve will fall out into the grass somewhere. Anybody know where you can buy just the white...

Hello fellow hay cutters, I have a CCM165 and am looking to modify it so it'll mow a little higher. I'm thinking there are two options; 1) Install bushings above bottom saucers with longer bolts and away you go. 2) Weld some sort of additional wear plate to the bottom of the bottom saucers...

Hello All. Hope everyone is happy and healthy. I am looking for a good fairly local source for fenceline feeder bunks. Either concrete or metal. I am in south/central NH. Thanks

Hi Folks, Do most of you separate yearlings from their mothers just prior to the mothers calving again in the spring ? These yearlings were weaned at 6 months old(Octoberish) . At 8 months old, they were put back in with their mothers for the winter. My concern was if I left the yearlings in...

What would you guys recommend for a 20 head beef building? I am leaning towards a clear span building on cement pony wall with the building open to the south. Since it seems I redo everything up here at least three times, figured I'd ask this time. Want headlocks to grab them and big enough...

Would welcome some ideas to my dilemma. We have two cow calf pairs in a pasture off the farm. Approximately one month ago, when leaving our farm, the cows loaded fine, but the calves were a real goat ropin'. One of them tried to go under the panels we set up at the rear of the trailer. It was...

Do you folks think 2.50 lbs/day weight gain is possible for angus yearlings (steers and heifers) on rich pasture with brewers grain fed daily? Also plan on giving them dry hay along the way as long as they clean it up.

As some of you might already know, we're looking to upgrade/increase the haying operation. Have an opportunity to hay a 20 acre field. Which is big in my neck of the woods. It's about 10 miles away. 60 % paved. I have r-1's on tractors. I would have to rent a deck over to move the equipment...

What is grass fed beef and who decides what is and isn't allowed? Just stumbled onto the American grassfed beef asso. Who is making the rules and are they recognized by the USDA ? My animals are on pasture 10 plus months per year. Even when it's frozen I still let them roam a little. Only keep...
