My 2012 Ford F350 gas pulling 10 cows in a steel trailer would get about 9 mpg but I buy my fuel for $1 a gallon less. Just not a lot of difference in any of them.

It pays to shop around when buying replacement belts. I have a NH BR780 and I broke a belt. Went to NH dealer to get a new one and they wanted $400 which I thought was a lot. Wound up going to a farm store and found one for $229....same exact belt. Looked on the internet and found them for...

I, too, would be very interested in finding who makes a baler with greaseable rollers. I think those sealed bearings that run out of grease are a major cause of baler fires. I know I have sure come close a time or two with super hot bearings. I'd think it would be a big selling point...

I have a 2012 F-350 with the 6.2 and 6 speed auto. I like it a lot. Gets 12-14 mpg empty and does ride a little hard but it's a fairly heavy truck. It pulls a 20' stock trailer full of cows very easily. A 28' flat trailer loaded with hay, total weight about 30,000 lbs, takes a little more...

I don't know anything about the 5100 but I have a 6430 that I really like and I can swath hay, rake, bale and load it on the hay trailer. It's a little more costly than the 5100 but I sure like it. If you were cutting with just a mower and raking hay one of those little Ford 8N's are cheap...

I just bought a pair of 13.6 x 24 front tires the other day. Cost $810 installed but they are cheapies made in India or somewhere and are bias tires. I had to put new tires on my tractor as part of the deal to trade for a new one. The new tractor has radial tires on it, it's a 6430 JD. Just...

I have a 2012 F-350 with just 4 wheels and 4x4. It is a 6.2 gas and seems to have plenty of power. Doubt I work it as hard as many of you do but it pulls a 28' triple axle hay trailer real well and the 20' stock trailer with 10 cows in it is hardly noticed. I had an 07 Chevy 3500 before with...

Looks like a really sharp outfit, George. I'll bet you will really enjoy having this nicer truck. Looks like a full shop on wheels. Hard to think someone would borrow a truck and then tear it up. Bet he won't borrow this one!

I bought my first Ford a year ago because I won't buy anything owned by Obama Motors and the unions. However, I'm really hoping that GM can get the govt paid off and the unions paid off and get back to making trucks on their own. I don't want another Ford. Mine is a 1 ton 6.2 gas. My 07...

That was a terrific commercial and it made one proud to be in agriculture whether it was farming or ranching. And the ending where the boy said he wanted to follow in dad's footsteps. I can't think of a greater compliment a man could receive than to have a son that felt that way. Dad must...

I have an 825i gator. 45 mph with a 50 hp engine. Haven't been that fast yet but it will really go. Has a pretty decent bench seat Has pipe guards around the fenders to protect them in case you are in the middle of a bunch of cows that get to horsing around. They will go anywhere and have a...

I don't know, my lawn mower has 20 hp but this is a little different kind of outfit. The loader bucket looks big for the size of tractor. Might be fine for snow but cleaning corrals might be a little more difficult. I'd sure want some weights on the back wheels, either cast weights or fluid...

Sounds like this is a John Deere company policy not to carry any parts. They certainly don't carry much used equipment inventory around here. Our dealer is part of a 10 dealer outfit that covers about all of the middle of Kansas. It's a pretty good drive to get to a competitor and even the...

I've never tried ebay but around here NH is a bargain compared with John Deere. Deere stocks hardly any parts in their brand new fancy facility and has to order everything plus charging you for freight. Everything costs a fortune and takes two trips to get the part. NH just walks back in the...

I'm not sure if the twine arms are the same but I have a BR 780 baler that I think is similar. Sometimes the twine arms do not go back into the proper position. When they are up in the middle take one arm in each hand and slam them together to be sure they are caught in the correct position...

I have a JD 6320 which is just a notch smaller than the JD you suggested. It has a loader with a joy stick and front wheel assist. It works great for all those chores. Has plenty of power.

Our local JD dealer recently built a new facility and their shop area is heated with in floor tubes and the heat is generated with a used oil furnace. It is very comfortable in the winter and when the overhead doors are opened to bring in equipment you hardly notice the cold air that comes in...

I have a 6320 and they tell me the reason for the fuel cooler is to make the engine more efficient and burn less fuel by cooling it before it goes into the cylinders. Maybe a good thing for a hot hayfield but not so good for winter feeding.

OT, Trailmann trailers are built in Waterville, KS by a fellow named Fred Mann, thus the two "n's". I think he builds a quality trailer. Also built in Waterville is the Titan trailer. I looked at both for a long time and when I bought mine I bought a Titan simply because they were very...

Yes, I'm sure you are right, Denny, but it's a long way to Moscow for parts :wink: One of the things I like about New Holland hay equipment is that it is made in he US and the parts seem more reasonably priced. The only things on that tractor made in the US are the tires. The rest came from...
