Told old man Rocky we were going to go digging so he brought a bone to bury 😂

Decided to run it. First time ever brush hogging. Took me an hour to connect the cutter to the tractor but now I know what I’m doing (kind of) will have to do the remaining next time it gets dry

Ive driven on the lower fields where the water pools down more and it ruts real heavy. The fields I need to get cleared are a little bit higher up but It did rut. Guess its time to start praying XD

Im in upstate NY, graded farmland with multiple springs that burst out after rainy days I need to have about 3 acres brushed down within a few weeks for planting but upstate NY we're getting 3-4 dry days then it rains again. Im planning on using my m5660 with a 6 foot woods cutter. Im trying to...

dealer matched it with my tractor, Ill double check on delivery. fruit orchard. lots of holes, hopefully lots of fruit

bit the bullet bought the SA20 with a 24" bit for 4k. for an extra $1.2k they were going to add the 9 and 12'' but I figure I could always buy those down the line, not sure if its worth it to get them both for $1200. Got a 72" iron craft economy root grapple and a 72" economy iron craft going to...

Thank you, I wish I could find a good low flow SSQA at that price but all my research is bringing me to the SA20 from the dealer rather than the cheap $900 auger. I don't think the $900 auger would last past a couple hundred holes. We are planting an orchard and after that I know I'll the auger...

Looking for advice on which 3rd function auger to get or if I should just rent one for the weekend. -looking to dig about 400 holes Looking at a new cheap chinese auger. Can get it for $900 with three bits but the issue is that the GPM on it is 15-18 but the m5600 manual states 10.6 gpm. My...

They dropped my interest so I went with 84 months at 2.39 APR now that’s what I call free money. Even though NY has high taxes they do try to incentivize farmers (and for a good reason). Now to look for cheap brush hogs and augers! Appreciate the forum, your Help has been awesome

My business thankfully is sales tax exempt since it is a for profit farm, if you buy ag equipment in NY you need to meet certain requirements to get tax exempt. The good thing is basically everything related to the farm is sales tax exempt which really helps since its 8% and unfortunately I...

unfortunately we get about 150 rainy days a year with over 40 inches :( Won't be doing any dumb things like running in deep mud but realistically work can only wait for so long for weather to clear out On the otherside I talked a used l5030 down to 25k with 1k hours, full cab, loader, bush...

any recs for r4 tires? I think industrial tires will be good for everything I need. Probably go for the wider over skinnier rear tires

thank you everyone, looks like Im going with the 5660 and ill see if they can either swap out tires and rims for wider set or sell me at cost, My biggest concern is rutting up and destroying pastures but shouldnt be a big issue with wider tires on the m5660

hey thanks for the quick response I agree, never too much power but the only reason Im thinking this is because alot of the comparison threads said the M would tear through and rut pastures. The Mx is a bit lighter and has wider tires, I think the Mx would have enough power but for the same...
