I would go with normal ags instead of industrial. Like was said, traction is slim with industrial ags. Our payloader has ind. ags on it, and off the concrete as soon as they slip just a tad (which is easy), it's nothing but slip.

I put the 2745 as discbine & hay rolling duties....should have been the MF2705. You guys would rack the hours up too if your living was made with them.

Can't be positive, but almost willing to bet you could take the gearbox apart & swap ends the shaft comes out of. Then you'd be on new unused case holes. Most gearboxes similar to this are made to switch around for different applications.

Never really kept up, but we have several tractors on our dairy. None are newer than 1980, and all the real "working" tractors are Massey's. Just the one MF2745 gets about 120hrs a year just chopping silage, plus both 2745's get at least 40hrs/year each hauling manure from the pit. Then the...

Well, if you've ever been divorced...then you was wrong at least once!:mrgreen: I like having a website to look part #'s up on, then either call or order online. Having the #'s ahead of time sure speeds things up.

One 150'x30'x10+' tall pit is filled, and started today on the other identical size pit. Silage like we've never had before....putting out the tonnage! Going to have much more grain when shelling time comes than we've ever had. Likely 40% more than we need for feeding our herd. Usually we have...

Distant pic, but looks like a New Holland swather.

Happy Birthday Jim! And a tractor for each implement sounds like a fine idea! Now try running it by the boss!:eek:

I said wrong when MBN would be up 1st week of September. The date is September 21st for the new MBN. (Neojunk) When it's back online, please come back, as well as a welcome to all to join. The new forum will be much better, and complete with a photo section for all your project pics...

No problem, just that I knew at least one member here also is member there. It is "Machine Builder's Network". A site where we build or modify all sorts of things.

Wanted to let any MBN members that are members here that Matt had to shut MBN down for upgrading. She'll likely be down a few days, but no worry...Matt is switching software & new server. Should be lightning fast when it's up & running. Should be all new site sometime the 1st week of September...

If it has the intercooler, then might be the prob. Also, if it has "wet" sleeves, then the o-ring at base of a sleeve could be leaking.

I'm late too, but Happy Birthday just the same. Glad you've made it past another.

That big hit I took came in through the ground. Old steel water pipes brought it into the laundry room, then up the ground wires into the telephone & video cables. I assume all the electrical chargers & such came through the ground also. So grounding doesn't always help, in fact, this time it...

Lightning got my cable box a month or so ago. Got nothing else this time. About 7 years ago, lightning struck a hickory tree next to the house. I was in my shop nearby when I saw it get struck. I was about 75' away & it blew hickory nuts inside the shop at me like bullets! Went to see that...

My Wife's Uncle uses a New Holland accumulator & a grappler and loves it. He sells a few thousand bales a year of alfalfa to the horse folks around Lexington, Ky. Yep, if selling quality hay, square is the way to go.

Got a whopper raccoon last night. There were 2, but at opposite ends of feeder, so other took off when the one bit the dust. I have more shells waiting for the survivors!

Yep, got them thick here too, but harder to catch them out. Only killed 3 this year. I need to set steel traps. Then leave them till next year! :wink: Have a family of skunks in holes under our manure push off ramp to the manure pit. I can smell em almost every time I put the cows in the...

BTW...got all this done by 10:15pm. First time , went out at 9:45, waited 1/2hr, then out again. No late night at all. They come in as soon as it's dark to feed....well,....:wink: now to die!
