In my area there are a JD 6400, 7700, 7800 and a 7810 that were bought from JB Tractors several years ago and as far as I've heard they are all good tractors. JD tractors sold in the USA you can run the serial number through your JD Dealer and find any work done at a dealer and find if the hours...

There are exceptions to every rule but typically northern cattle will eat much more than southern cattle. Feed in equals pounds put on. I've fed quite a few of both origins and can never get southern cattle to eat as much as northerns. Just goes back to eating like there is no tomorrow so they...

My advise to anyone looking at buying a Belarus tractor is to run as fast as you can away and never look back. I had a 925 for about 10 months a lot of years ago. The tractor only had 300 hours on it when I bought it which to me is a new tractor. It was without a doubt the worst piece of junk I...

If these lots have preassure water systems they can string some small water lines on the ground outside the pens or on the fences up high so the cattle can't chew on them and then hook up a small sprayer tip about 15 feet in the air and about 15 feet apart,(three or four tips will take care of...

I bought a Euro JD 7700 MFWD with 4500 hours for $35,000 4 years ago. No trouble at all. Four other guys around here have tractors that they bought there for similar prices and they have not had any trouble either. The parts for these tractors are the same as US tractors except for some lights...

I was scheduled to take several loads to this plant each day the week of June 16, but on the 17th(I think that is the right day) I got a call not to bring any more till they told me to. The story I got was that their main electrical service coming into the plant had melted down and left the...

I have fed out black hided cattle and other colored cattle and it doesn't make one bit of difference what I prefer. It makes all the difference in the world what the packers want and I will tell you without a doubt that at this point in time (actually the last 5-10 years every packer buyer that...

No pins or plates or screws but am on a first name basis with an Orthepedic Suregon sp in Sioux Falls SD. I think I helped him put an addition on his house, but my hand nearly works like original.

Maybe. Hopefully not any time soon. Local joke around my freinds is I should write a book of all the weird crap that has happened to me over the years, some brought on by my always being in a rush and some just plain dumb luck

About 5 years ago I had 10 loads of 1400# steers going out one afternoon and as the second to last load was pulling away from the chute I saw a leg sticking through the floor of the nose deck. Had the driver back up and unload the tail , top deck and nose and as the last one came off I headed up...

Not familiar with that supply house. what is that knife shaped like? What I have is about 1 inch square with a triangle on the outbound side and about 7 inches long. It gets hot but when you stick it into the rolled up twine it melts in a little ways then seems to cool off and you have to let it...

I have to use plastic with all the wet conditions we get here( sisal is rotted away when we take the bales out of the feild lots of times). Also I only use the processor to grind soybean and cornstalk bales for bedding for fats. I usually grind about 50 bales before I clean off the rotor. By...

Soapweed,it looks like you have a Haybuster bale processor on the front of your bale feeding rig. Have you found any easy way to remove strings from the rotor. I have a Haybuster 2650 and like how it works but I use all plastic twine and it can be a real bear to get off the rotor. I have tried a...

For several years when they would call about my not sending in the info they wanted I would ask (usually some sweet sounding gal) so what do you make every year? How many kids do you have? Is your house paid for? How much do you owe the bank? How many credit cards do you have? You get the gist...

Soapweed, so what is the per hour rate in the shop where you have work done? Here it is $65 to $75 per hour and they do not work all that fast. PS , enjoy the pics of your operation

I asked the girl at the bank and she said to just make it out to 1st Independent Bank (Cottonwood School bus Fund) and it will go 100% to the families involved. Thank You Very Much.

Recieved a call today from one of the gals at the bank wondering if I would like to donate to their, Walk For The Cottonwood School Bus Victims Fund. For those of you who know nothing of this event. About one month ago a school bus from Lakeview Schools, Cottonwood, Minnesota was dropping kids...

Two stories that will add fuel to both sides of this argument. Twelve years ago on a nice april Sunday afternoon after church and dinner I headed out to start planting corn the first day that year and my wife thought she just as well do some weekly shopping since I would be busy till dark. An...

Can cattle get distemper and if so can they get it by having a coon that died from distemper ground in their feed? I've found several dead coons around the place since fall, thought they died from distemper. Tub ground some hay yesterday and tonight I found part of a ground up coon tail in the...

I can't bring the subject line down for a reply like you guys do, computer dumb and no young kids in this house for over 10 years so I have to wing it in a new box every time, but to answer your question Denny. Yes I plant mostly Dekalb the last several years. Was all Pioneer for 15 years or...
