Inexpensive Way to Get Started

Just saw this on the local Craigslist site.  For someone just starting out, all you need is a tractor and you;'re in business.

Inexpensive Way to Get Started

Embarrassed.

Walked into Sam’s club today with my wife. My wife went over to show the greeter our membership card, I got a cart.

I turned around and a line of two families standing there with their membership cards in hand showing me them. :wall:

Well maybe that is an inclination of my next job

Embarrassed.

Blood in the Kubota

My Son Danny sent me a text this morning saying him and my Grandson Dylan got blood in the Kubota. This picture was attached. Hunting on our farm.

Bud Box

We have been looking at buying a crowding tub, but last night I found a website that talked about a bud box, and just had to investigate some.  It looks like a bud box works pretty darn slick,  and it may cost less to set up.  

 

How many of your guys use a bud box, and what is your opinion on the system?

Sprayer Maintenance/Storage Questions

We have a small boom sprayer, 3pt mounted. Does a great job, but the tank is small. With a few more fields coming online next year, I'm thinking a larger tank sprayer - especially due to the volume of liquid required when using Sevin XLR on Timothy.

With our small sprayer, we refill more than I like, but always empty the tank spraying when finished as herbicides run through it so quickly.

What about larger sprayers? Are you folks emptying them everytime and cleaning or do you let the herbicide remaining set in the sprayer tank for another Summer's day's spraying, like after first cut and fall spraying? Are you able to dial-in your herbicide such that the sprayer empties a foot from the gate as you exit the field?

I realize Round-up is a different animal and the sprayer must be thoroughly scrubbed before changing to another herbicide and it's corrosive and can damage a cast iron body pump quickly.

Thanks!
Bill

Sprayer Maintenance/Storage Questions

Questions about hauling a NH 1037 stacker wagon.

I'm looking at a stacker wagon in an auction and the machine is located in Ohio, about 310 miles from me.  If I do get this wagon, I'm probably going to tow it home myself since the cheapest price quote I've gotten for shipping is $1,500.  I do have some question about towing this machine through two other states plus my own.  Since I live here, I am pretty familiar with the NY laws governing the towing of farm equipment that is over width (the wagon is about 10 feet with the bale loader raised).  What are the rules for Ohio and Pennsylvania?  Here are some of my specific questions, but feel free to chime in with anything that I'm missing.

 

1. Are there any daylight hour restrictions for towing over width equipment?
2. What are the speed limits for needing or not needing a slow moving sign?
3. Are warning flags on the widest parts of the equipment required?
4. Is a safety chain required?
5. Are there any lighting requirements? 

I do plan on using a set of magnetic trailer lights and putting a set of warning flags on the frame of the side boards.  A safety clip in the draw pin is a given.

 

Thanks in advance for all your help.
