I own 2 of them, an MTX 120 and an XTX 165. They seem to be a good tractor. One has 1700 hrs and the other 180 hrs, so time will tell. :)

This type of feeder is the only one I would ever own. Cows can't tip them, mineral stays dry, and they are built to last. The rubber flap lasts about 2 - 3 years and can be purchased separately for about $60. The feeder itself costs about $200, that comes with the flap...

Sounds like anthrax to me. You may want to have them tested.

[ Someday's you just want to kill em'. I hear they are quite tasty!
