Tractor brands

ilovebutternut — Tue, 16 Nov 2004 13:58:59 GMT

I am looking to purchase my first tractor in the spring. I won't be doing very much heavy work with it--just bush hogging, moving a manure spreader, basic farm chores. Does anyone have a brand they recommed?

Walking Tractors

mystnd — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 12:49:56 GMT

I got my latest issue and it was discussing the walk behind tractos and hay equipment so I went on line to do some research and found the Ferrarri company in Ca. They are pricey but if they work at all it would be great for me and my size; especially that the bales are 48 pounds; a size I can still lift and toss with some amount of ease.

I was talking to someone about it and they thought bob cat made a walk behind tractor also (but perhaps they just meant heavy duty mower). Anyone heard of main line companies who make them? Mary Ann

Small Manure Spreader

KKid — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 13:48:44 GMT

I'm have a small farm with 4 horses and soon to add about 2 miniature cows and a miniature bull. I'm in the market for a small manure spreader I can pull behind a large garden tractor. Hopefully from somewhere close by, I live in northwest PA.

Essential Equipment for Market Gardening

kitchensqueen — Fri, 04 May 2007 09:47:02 GMT

I'm looking to start a small farm in the next few years. About 1-1.5 acres in veggies and flowers. What is the most essential equipment I should invest in? I'd like to purchase items that are multi-purpose so I get the most bang for my buck and economize on storage space.

Buying a new tractor

thistlehill — Fri, 09 Nov 2007 16:06:41 GMT

I will be purchasing a new tractor in the next couple of weeks, I have looked at John Deere, New Holland, Kubota is buying a tractor like buying a car. Are you expected to negotiate the price or are they set prices from a dealer.

If they are negotiable what is the appropriate discount from the dealer quoted price

Welding on the farm?

BarnBuddy — Fri, 26 Aug 2005 13:00:40 GMT

I was wondering if any of you know how to weld for repairs of fabrication?

- I am thinking about getting a welder and I'm looking to justify it beyond a few fencing repairs here and there. Are there any other cool projects that anyone is working on?

larger fuel tank for trash pump

arkie — Sun, 18 Jun 2006 11:56:17 GMT

Greetings from the natural state!

Other than filling the 1 gallon gas tank every few hours, is there a way to keep an accessory fuel tank feeding into a small engine (honda 5.5) or increasing the size of the fuel tank?

Pulling ATV Mower with Blazer?

rcb142 — Tue, 15 Aug 2006 18:57:32 GMT

I have a k-5 military blazer that i use as a farm truck. Does anyone know if an ATV rough cut mower can be towed (with the right hitch)? And can the mower be towed off-set with the full size blazer? I live in WV and I have extremely steep hills that tractors cannot climb safely, but my blazer idles right up and over, with no problem. It seems to make sense to use the blazer. I do not own a tractor nor a quad...

Thanks!

Is there anyone out there that has experience with this tractor?
