    How much fun can I have in 3 hrs with 1-2 gals of diesel??

    Oh there's no fighting... it's MY tractor! Although I caught him merrily drilling holes with the auger yesterday... WHADDA NERVE! So I've hidden the keys :yum: . He's retaliating by hiding my Harley keys... like I wouldn't take his Harley keys in return- DOH!:yum: How manure can we...

    Hi Jay- If we're not bustin' through any shear pins or bogging down the mower, do you think we need one? AG SUP carries them. Missy

    So we got the RC 5ft mower deck- opted for the Kodiak model. Structurally it was stronger than the King Kutter- it was 11 ga v. 12, and was made with better framing members. It's also made in the US. Parts are also available in AG Sup. Both models were shear bolt only. We got an auger...

    I think the best part will be watching Mikey have his first turn at it. LOL. :yum: I'm just glad he wasn't there to watch my first, err two, hours. I think we may head out to AGSUPPLY for the auger tomorrow. Found another 2 broken posts on the fence line. We'll probably pick up some...

    :wink: OK- I'll admit it... My first time out on Baby Boomer was an absolute hoot! Mike wasn't home- I wanted to surprise him. :sorry: The horses haven't recovered yet; the bunnies that used to (operative word is "used") live under the brush pile died of stroke; we have the neatest manure...

    Little help please

    :respect: Dear FWJ- First off, our thoughts and prayers are added to everyone else's here on NTT. And even though we're new to this site, and tractors, just seeing how everyone rallies makes us know we're in the right place. Happy to hear that things are looking up for you. We'll keep a...

    :respect: JWSTAR and company: You guys were worth every penny to join this site :beer: Just knowing that we've got a CAT 1 3PH (like the big guys!) and not getting talked into the wrong thing is a huge relief. But then again- these were the same folks who told me that the 40HP gearbox...

    Doc- I do know the Razorback had the slip clutch. The dealer was, like you, on the side of slip clutch.

    Glad you guys are online- just to AG Supply about the auger- now they say we need the "compact sized" auger for our hitch size... ?? First anyone's mentioned that- not even the NH dealer said a word about it. Any ideas? Missy

    Mowers and Auger and tractors- oh my! Hey It's me again- After looking at some used RCs- of dubious quality :puke1: we'll keep looking, but we also priced out some new ones. Based on primary use being flat pastures - grass and weeds up to 10" high, and the pond area- grasses, raspberry...

    Glad to hear the box blade is OK for this tractor... you should see this pulverizer!! As far as condition of our pastures, Farmwithjunk... I'd like to do what I can this Spring with a follow-up this Fall. Yes both pastures have some weeds- I sprayed with a broadleaf last year and it did...

    Thanks guys- MIke and I are ginning up a work list this week. Part of our problem right now is: We're BROKE!!!! But we will be renting an auger to do some fencework ASAP. And we need a few loads of soil pretty quick too. We had some problems after months of drought with some sudden, heavy...

    Box Blade The box blade is the Bush Hog SBX 480B. We've got flat pastures- sandy, clay soil. We plan on mostly using it to: Turn up the 6-8" of sand in the round pen and then level it out. Bring in some soil to fill in some shallow, wet areas in the yard. AND :tiphat: Most importantly-...
