You have an old Toyota? If you don't have one, I wouldn't get hung up on having to get a Toyota. I thought I had to get one because of their reputation...turns out their head gaskets, wheel bearings, power steering pumps, heater cores, radiators, and shocks all go bad as well. And they even...

'04 Ford F250 with a V10 is my trailer-puller - cheaper than a diesel, just as bad on gas as my V8 Dodge was but with a little more power. Supposed to be good for 300,000 mi, I'm only a third of the way there. '92 Toyota pickup is my side-by-side - and it has a heater & radio and I can drive it...

I bought a 8500 two years ago and have really liked it. After watching the video about the new model, I would say they have made a good thing even better. Wish this year was the year of $1600 calves so I could use a write off!

I have a 2004 F250 V-10, 95,000 mi. Mileage is about 7-8 mpg when hauling hay out with the bale bed or pulling a trailer. Before I added a grill guard, bale bed, and bigger mirrors I could get 14 on the hwy. Now maybe 12. 22 ft steel gooseneck loaded with cows weighed right at 30k gross...

My dad has a Pioneer 1000 with the 5 seat option. Heck of a machine. They aren't cheap, and oil changes are expensive. Tires are hard to come by if you wreck one. All that said, it is twice the machine it replaced (JD Gator 825). Transmission is smooth, ride is smooth, power is incredible...

Sorry about that! Google Photos doesn't apparently get along with the Ranchers software. Here's a link to an album. A couple photos of the feeder and a few of the feeding area. https://goo.gl/photos/WQTzxW2Auwsx3CWYA

The more I've been thinking about this (and looking at baler prices) I think I'm leaning towards plastic twine. I've got a quarter of oats & peas I plan to hay this summer, half of which I plan to sell. I think I would be better off renting a baler with net wrap to do that work and just put...

I've been thinking a little about how I could use this feeder to supplement cows with calf at side later into the winter. Yardage is $0.30/hd/day, so maybe I use this feeder to "pay yardage" to the cow to take care of the calf for an extra month or two in the winter. That 30 cents buys 5-6 lbs...

Thought I'd share some photos of a supplement feeder I made this winter that has worked pretty well. I can't claim the original idea as my own, but this is my version of it. The tire was "take one get three free" from the local elevator. Came off a fertilizer spreader. The plastic on the...

We've always been a sisal twin outfit, but last year I bought a bale bed and have had a change of heart. I bought some net wrapped alfalfa and found it to hold together much better than sisal when I pick them up with the bale bed. However, our baler does not have a net wrap attachment. I'm...

A few things I like about my current trailer (02 Diamond D steel - not in production anymore I believe)...grease zerks on all hinges, slam latch on both center and rear gates with secondary latches for safety, a rubber stop for the rear gate so it doesn't bang when it opens up all the way, and...

I imagine that the size of the pasture makes a difference in how quickly the cattle would find the salt tub. One of our herds is about 250 pairs and seldom has more than 200 acres of grass at once. Moving the salt away from water isn't a big deal, since they don't have to look too far. One...

The one I'm looking at is a little different. Its like this one: Not sure if having the sheeting on the outside makes much difference.

I checked again on what a new one costs, and by looking at the pictures and pricing the options in a new trailer like that would be about $11,500. So the price is right vs new, just wondering about if Delta makes a good trailer or not.

Found a nice used one, 2006 model, 7x24 with non-slip coating on the floor. Anybody have experience with a Delta, or the non-slip coating? Seller wants $6000 for it. Same thing new costs just a little over $10k.

I already have an economical outfit (95 Jeep Cherokee), but my pickup is a regular cab and we added 2 to the family in January (twins, boy and a girl) and would like to be able to put the whole family in it. I'll probably trade the Jeep off for an s-10 or something eventually. I'd rather have...

I'm starting to look for a different pickup. I'm trying to figure out what to look for. I'm not particular about who makes it, I just want to have something that can pull a trailer once in a while and get the ranch work done. I've been doing it with a 99 Dodge 2500 with a 360 gas. I get about...

My last atv was a 2002 honda foreman. I was on my 3rd set of tires at 15,000 mi. and you're right, theyre not cheap.

I have a 1995 Jeep Cherokee with 245,000 mi. Just like the other guys said, its got air, heat, street legal, cost about 1/10 of a new UTV, and repairs are much much cheaper. I also have a 2004 Honda Rubicon, and that thing is way more expensive to operate than the jeep. Tires, oil, and gas...

We stack our hay in piles of 38 and hire it hauled home. The last bill was $2068 for 35 stacks (1482 bales), 142 loaded miles. Two trucks did it in one day. No way can we afford to haul it ourselves.
