CB/Amateur Radio In RTV?

We were considering getting involved in local search team efforts when a child or elderly person is missing or some other search needs to be performed. One of the things you should have is a citizen band radio or a ham radio with the appropriate license. My question is has anyone equipped their rig with a two way radio and if so, what antenna did you choose?

I selected the heavy plastic roof which does not lend itself to a magnetic mount so real curious how you might have mounted your...

Stripping a NH68 for spare parts, what to keep?

Picked up a NH68 of unknown working condition dirt cheap($150) at an auction. Just needed a few parts for my working one.

Plan is to take off anything I might need later on and scrap the rest. Any particular pieces to keep?

I'm keeping all the PTO stuff, the tine bar, forks and tracks. The little tubes the strings go through, the wagon hitch, bale chute, tongue jack, plunger stop, and the needles. I'd like to get the wood slides out and see how they look. How do you get in there to get the slides off? Do you take the plunger off?

 

Worthwhile to keep the gear boxes?, how much work to get the out? Suppose I should grab the entire knotter assembly too.

Brand of disk to buy

Did some disk work this weekend. I used a Hay King 12' 32 disk belonging to my cousin. It did a good job and I will be purchasing something for my place. If any of you use a disk in the 12'-15' range is there a particular brand I should be looking at or are they pretty much all the  same?

 

BTW...82 degrees today. A long way from 12 !

Deere 467 bale size and shape monitor readings

Deere 467- another question, my baler is empty, the monitor shows two bars on the left side and 23". Do i need to recalibrate the bale sensors? The left side originally had 8 bars and the right had 4 and it read 23.5. I pushed on the belts near the sensor and got the right to go to zero and the left is is showing two bars and now it shows 23". Again this is all new to me, just trying to figure this thing out.

I thought i was supposed to see zero bars and the size should read ---------- when empty. Thanks for your alls knowledge.

Thanks in advance


Have a great day

single rolling harrow vs double vs packer

I currently have a wing fold packer that I pull behind my soil finisher.  I works ok, but the rolling harrows appear to do a better job leveling.  So, I am thinking about buying one (used), but not sure which is better, single roller or double.  Anyone have experience with either?   I have read that some of the earlier double rollers will eat bearings.

 

Also, my ground is sandy loam, with ROCKS.  Or am I better off staying with my packer?

Thanks,

Kurt
