I was out with my excavator and was excited to get a lot of clearing done. Didn't make it too far from the house and pulled a tree that hit one of the hydraulic lines. Fluid leaking everywhere. Found the leak and parked the machine. Walked back to the house and ordered up 3 more fittings as this...

Rube Goldberg. For some reason that just about made me spit my coffee. If you're dealing with wiring and having any success you are a better man than I am. I can do damn near anything as long as electricity isn't part of the equation. Hope it holds up for ya!

I was just throwing that option out there because I have no idea how much experience you have with plots but it sounds like you have a plan in mind that makes sense. I'm not sure but I thought beets like to be planted by themselves? I know they come in all kinds of plot mixes but some of those...

Clover,chicory and alfalfa is a great combo by itself. Is there any reason why you want to remove it and replace with something else? That plot will last several years with just a couple of timely mowings for weed control. You could always do the throw and mow adding the oats in the fall over...

I've never encountered any anti-hunters. Live in central Minnesota out in the sticks. I think every one of my neighbors is shooting some type of weapon or even random fireworks every couple of weeks here. I might be the only one in our neighborhood who isn't shooting constantly and that's only...

Very impressive set of skills you have there.

Agree 100%. That being said for some reason I decided to try some alfalfa for about the 3rd or 4th time. Have not had any great success with it yet but so far this year it seems to be doing pretty good. I think we've had just about the perfect growing conditions so far this year. Have been...

I think the best thing I ever used to get deer on camera was a plastic jar of peanut butter. Screw top top of the jar to a tree and cut the bottom off with a knife. That makes them stand there trying to lick it out of the jar. Also had a picture with 7 raccoons also going after the peanut...

I ended up getting a 4075r john deere earlier this year. The cutoff point for DPF VS DEF is 75 hp for the DEERE. I went with the largest I could get but still avoid having to deal with DEF.

Where I'm at in Minnesota beans,peas,sunflowers or turnips don't stand a chance of keeping up with the deer unless you've got 5 acres or more. Rye, wheat, oats,clover and chicory I broadcast about twice as much as recommended to allow for the deer consumption and still have good plots with...

Maybe some type of screen material over the holes so it still vents but stops entry of those bugs. I had something packing dirt on my camera lens a couple of years ago. Also had a bear turn my camera on about a 45 degree angle which really made it hard to look at the pictures that were taken...

Glad things didn't go any worse than they did. The clearing is looking good.

Chicory goes great with clover.

That would be a lot of fun to have options and be able to go around comparing different brands. Ideal scenario there. I'm curious about New Holland and how they compare but I don't know anyone who has one to ask them questions. Also have to be leary of the brand loyal guys. The ones who say...

I would vote for a cab. Once you have a cab you don't want to be without it. Whenever buying I always consider being able to get machinery serviced. Sooner or later you will need service. I don't have any experience with kubota. No dealers around me. Sorry, not much help with the brand. Just...
