That 686 would be a great buy

Boy I would love to have a side mount mower.I trim all the time under fences and road sides with my IH100 3pt on a hydro tractor. That size tractor in a hydro with a mid mount would be the best.

That's a loaded question.....

I like it.Please don't paint it,clean it and keep it as is.

That's the thought that I have.I farm use my tractors far less than I did dairying.Someday I will be at that point.

I agree. I think inflation overall is the government getting back the trillions of dollars handed out during Covid shutdowns.The problem is the people like me didn't get a penny and had to work ate paying the price now

I never go out to breakfast because I can cook better than ANY restaurant. Eggs of any style,sausage, scrapple or bacon and pancakes to die for that are not like hard as Frisbees not to mention French Toast.Don't get me started on my sausage or dry beef gravy. It's sad,I would like to go out but I know I will be disappointed and wished I saved the money and stayed home Breakfasts places have deteriorated in the last 20 or 30 years.

I have Japanese Honeysuckle,Autumn Olive, some Barberry and Multa Flora Rose.The reason my farm is spared a total takeover is because I fight it back constantly. I am surrounded on 2/3's on my farm by one farm that was bought by a outsider city guy that let it grow up for hunting and recreation 30 years ago. Totally taken over now.My hedgerows bordering him i mow with a boom mower. New pasture fence before it gets put up on the property line I take my bull dozer and skid loader to get the brush out.I then spray with Crossbow to kill anything that I can't get to or regrows.I do that twice at least b4 I put up new fence.I also will cut out anything that's big by hand. My pastures I walk with a hand held sprayer and get the plants in them.Been doing it the last 3,4 years this way and got most of them killed.But now the Marestail started in the pastures so I dread them.They spread faster and are not as visible to kill. I plan on going a better job of mowing the pastures and hope that will help.Posion Hemlock is exploding over the area and I found one plant on my farm and destroyed it.Its always something Invasive plans are totally a headache

I wouldn't even consider them.Hills would make them devastating killers in my opinion.Plenty of Mennonites around me but all on flat ground and they won't farm on any but almost flat ground. Rubber bends steel doesn't. Rubber will allow more ground contact and traction. They can't pull as much. They need bigger tractors smaller implements.Blacktop roads they can spinout starting and stopping can be exciting. Don't try going down hills with a load pushing ypu unless you are totally sure you know what your doing Plus the ride is horrible on steel, even belted steel wheels and they aren't belted.

Sounds like you need to say when your neighbor wants to help say "no I am fine I get it " and change the subject. I am don't like to be rude either to well meaning people but sometime's a little fib or being direct softly is the best way and saves a lot of headaches. Good luck.

" once I get it home" Sounds like you bought it?

I had a 4650.It didn't idle that high at all

Yes those coulies and that topography was something else.We were heading east on from Ft Peck Dam and the little hills, ridges or mountains with different layers of sediment or stone or whatever it was I never seen anything like it.I liked North Dakota I want to see more of that state.Following the high line across was cool.

Hello all.Just a follow up on my trip back from Eureka Mt.What a wonderful state and beautiful state.We started back from Eureka dropped down and went through Glacier on the Going to the Sun Road. Beautiful just beautiful. We exited on the east side and entered the start of the prairie. I loved it.Went through Browning and the Black Feet Res.Stopped the Museum of the Plains Indians.What a place. The Navtive American are and were awesome people. The art work,handiwork,colors of their clothing was and is exceptional. What they did hundreds,thousands of years ago is amazing. Stayed on Rt 2 about the whole way through Mt until we dropped down on 24.Stayed in Chester one night and Malta the next.The prairie is so beautiful.You can see forever. Got a picture of a little Big Bud in the town of Chester. I also had a in with getting to see 747 BiG Bud.My daughter got me connected with Robert Williams daughter Mandy and we went the whole way to Big Sandy to their farm and I got to see it up close and sit in the cab.They told me I could start it but I felt funny because they weren't around.Just awesome.Next stop was in Haver Big Bud Equipment and I got to meet and talk to Ron Harmon who built Big Bud.I also got to go see them making new Big Buds.Just fabulous. We went Rocky Boy Reservation and got to see some of the Buffalo that my daughter helped them get started. We went to Bear Paw Battlefield and walked that.What a truly solemn place.Its hallowed ground for sure.Nothing but the sound of the wind.We went through Fort Peck and seen Snake Spring Butte.We traveled though 24 I guess and went to Fort Peck Dam.The topography was amazing all through Mt.Went into North Dakota and went to the Teddy Roosevelt Badlands National Park.The Badlands are beautiful but I sure see why you wouldn't want to get lost in there.I loved all the small towns we drove through. We now are planning a trip of taking the Rt 2 across the entire state I have so much more to say but it was wonderful trip.

You have my admiration.This is as a good a way as any to get feelers out.You probably have taken other avenues to achieve your goal so keep building and connecting. Your in sales so you know that you will get a ton of of no's for that one yes.Just keep working for that "yes". God bless and good luck.
