    A little take on France

    France..... without whom there would be no USA..... easy to pick on France. Heck I like to pick on France. But in reality a huge debt of gratitude is owed them and is seldom mentioned...

    HVAC Ranger

    I'll be interested to hear how it does with the hold back. I like the rope for it's strength, ease of use, doesn't get brittle, easier to repair if damaged, really there is no comparison IMO. I will never go back to cable if the rope option is available.

    HVAC Ranger

    Has Polaris fixed their lack of hold back issue? That's been by biggest beef with their products. Start going down hill and eventually they just freewheel, gotta keep playing with the throttle to keep it engaged. A real PIA. I hope so, because I'd like to upgrade to a newer Ranger one day, and...

    Baler question

    Really like our 605N, but we did break the big hex shaft off the end of the drive roller. Nicely off warranty of course. According to the dealer they don't break, so I guess we were just lucky. Other than that it has been fantastic.

    Trump still fighting for the wall

    I thought they all looked like monkeys. Well, except Pence. He looked like he wished he was invisible.

    Who are these Merriman gentlemen?

    I'd take a guess the the gentleman in the back row middle is a direct relative of Soapweed.

    Calves in the ring October 2018

    Thanks, it is nice to have a reasonably uniform set of calves. I don't think it hurts the pricing. I would like to see this pen have a few more steers in it in the future. The fun is in the trying. I was feeling a little down about the weaning weights this year but then remembered I started...

    Music

    I have to admit that while my satellite radio is usually tuned to Willie's Roadhouse, I have an alert set for Jake Owens' "Down to the Honky Tonk"

    Hello

    I like it. Looks like it gets short of water, but also looks like you have a solution.

    Calves in the ring October 2018

    Thought I'd post a pic of a pen of my calves coming through the auction this fall. Not my heavies, but not bad either. Mostly just content to see the evenness of the calf crop. I didn't get a good video of the heavy pen, but it was a heart warming sight for me. I guess I mostly wanted to post...

    Welcome aboard, or back aboard! Nice to see a new face. If you've been lurking this long and aren't offended enough to quietly skulk away you'll do just fine around here!

    Heavy Duty Gooseneck Cattle Trailers?

    That is surprising and disappointing for sure. I hadn't realized that. I have a Norbert stock trailer and a Norbert goose neck flatdeck, and really like how they are built.

    960 acres

    Could you get a few loads of bentonite and work it in to the reservoir bottom? I would imagine bentonite is available close by where you live and reasonably priced.

    I run the grinder over the blades when they look poor while they are on the machine. Takes 5 minutes to touch them up. I only flip them over when the end gets rounded off, and only change them when overly bent or broken or both ends to rounded.

    How about a tribute to McCain

    I think he was a good man that loved his country, and the world could use more folks with his makeup. And that’s all I’m gonna say about that.

    Interesting Read

    Been pretty happy with the 605n until this year broke the main drive roll. It has a 1.75” hex shaft running through it, shaft broke off flush with outside end of roll, just an inch or so from the bearing. Took almost a week to get the $1500 part. I was pretty sad about that. Been an incredible...

    They do prefer a heavier crop.

    I hit my share of rocks with my discbine, blades are quicker, easier and cheaper than guard and sections. Gcreek cuts hay in a rock quarry with a disbine, and can tell us what his maintenance difference is over the sickle bar haybines. Every area seems to have it's ways of doing things.
