To the OP, how is the manure getting loaded? Is your 180 fitted with rear wheel weights or liquid ballust? Some of the replies insinuating to just "bail" on farming it and rent it out makes me laugh, GO FOR IT !!

I guess you must have a skid steer loader available for loading the manure. If it were me I would put it in windrows and let it compost over the summer, just have to turn it a few times. Easier to spread, and better for the soil. I'd just plant hay, you get more chances each year to get a crop and can always sell some hay and buy grain (or trade for it).

I wouldnt try to get all the equipment at one time, and especially not the best you can think of right away. We moved out to the farm a few years ago, started with a ford tractor and borrowed equipment from family. We gradually picked up a planter, drill, disk, packer, brush hog, haybine, baler, rake ect over two years. Started with a K, moved to an F2, now we are at a JD 9400, I bought the 200 last summer, we graduated to a chisel plow last year and picked up a big field cultivator this year. My point being you can get away with older smaller equipment at first and start to upgrade once you see if its going to work out and then you will be able to see which piece of equipment needs upgraded. Craigslist and Facebook marketplace can be your friend. We have bought a couple pieces at auction but in my experience things can go much higher than they are worth.

Im in northern indiana. Father in law and i broke down today and went halfs on another tractor.the one eighty diesel is having problems with spewing out antifreeze after running more than an hour. He didn't want to take it yet. Got to bring this othern home on Friday. Its an hour and some change drive by pick-up. How long will it take me in a allis chalmers 7060 to bring it back to the barn. Also, any tips on hiding it from the ol ladies would be appreciated...

Just remember that everything has 3 prices...the price you paid, the price you told the wife you paid, and the price you pay when she finds out what you really paid.

I was surprised to see that a 7060 with either a PD or PS(you didn't say which you bought) would run over 19 MPH in road gear :-)

Tell them to talk to your father in law. I always get a pass when it’s my father in laws idea lol. So if it runs 19mph are you figuring five hours? Be neat to video the journey and then speed up the footage.

Not a powershift, we are both afraid of them. If they go out you might as well buy a new tractor for the price it takes to repair them. He's been looking at case tractors for 2 years and i've been looking at auction window chalk on how much people spent to work on them. 9-14000. Wow!!!

We have a bobcat for the spreader. The shaft on the beater was in worse shape than we thought. Getting a new one made and the old beaters welded back. This tractor is big enough to run the rest of our family's equipment that we need to run. And we're going to hire them to plant for us. A buddy offered to pick the tractor up for the cost of fuel. As much as id like to clog up traffic, id still like to run it around the field a few times before I'd be completely confident on a 4 hour journey at 18-19 mph. (I checked it out on maps). Looking for duals for her next. Might have a haybine and rake bought this year. I appreciate all of the feedback!!!

Brought the 7080 home yesterday so we could get prepping it for the field. Gotta switch the 1000 to 540 on the pto. Took be 3 1/2 hrs going home. No problem whatsoever. Sounded the same driveway to driveway. On fencing, been looking for guardrail but my days bending over for someone else to get a dime are over. Ill get it, it just takes time.

So the other day the neighbor was over and were talking about insulation in the toolroom. He said something about how much heat the cattle put out when they're all in the barn. A few minutes later, one of our steers let one loose that sounded kinda wet. As funny as it sounds, my thoughts went immediately to fencing. They like to scratch and rub and i don't know about anyone else on here, but thats gonna itch when it dries. No wonder we spend so much time on fencing.

Watch Facebook marketplace, Craigslist and area consignment sales. Don’t get too fancy and buy carefully and you will have lots of fun puttering with 35 acres. I disagree fully with rent it out folks. Putter away. Nothing else sell idiot bricks to horse people.

re: Nothing else sell idiot bricks to horse people. I met a local trucker and he hauled 'idiot bricks' to NC or FL ( I forget,was 5-10 year ago) EVERY week ! He said they can't grow good feed down there. I'm betting after a few months, the ride would be BORING.... great $$ in it for him and farmer up here though ! |

We're planning on putting first cutting in rounds for ourselves, and second and third are for the grinder and for selling in small squares.
On another note, this cab is lacking any padding or carpet. Can anyone find me a picture of what it should look like new? |

Way back when, we were selling hay (never knew small squares as "idiot bricks" until today) to a horse farm in MD and two in FL. We sold it for at least 4 times more than we could ever think of doing locally. They also paid the trucking.
I lost touch with them when my Dad decided to shut things down around 1984, I kept things going for him locally until he decided (read: "was convinced by one of my sisters") to just end things and sell-off all the equipment etc. in 1991. I'm not even sure I'd recall or remember their names. We bought his land in 2011, most all of it had gone back to woods. Slowly but surely clearing and reclaiming. Now getting ready again to sell, I sure want to see if those ol' boys are still around and buying lol!
