You sure it was a cut away? Ive never seem one cut away really. They look like a cut away but thats actually how they are inside the case. They also do not sit in an oil bath, they use forced lube to increase efficiency. Spent enough time.in it today chopping silage. Its just too easy and...

Heres a couple videos that you guys may enjoy. Incase it takes me awhile to make one. Here is a Fendt's video explaining the Vario CVT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_-LL0sCT-k This video shows the actual CVT module being operated, its not the best video but you can watch the pump and motor...

Firestone transforce wouldnt ever make it to 20k for us. Traction sucked too. 695 Duelers would go 30k and better traction. The OEM LTX AT2s on our 2011 went 50k, im interested to see how far tge deep tread ones go or if they are possibly a softer compound. Tractiom seems better with the DT...

Weve got a few old magnums, they are the most reliable workhorses we have. Just arent cut out for what we need the Fendt for though. This Fendt was nearly 200k more than dad and my uncle bought our 8940 new for in the 90s. Technology has really come a long ways however if you dont need it, the...

Well finally after many years, we have our first Fendt. The cost kept dad a little hesitant to go the Fendt route up front and with the Massey's getting the same transmission we tried that route. That route turned out to be an absolute disaster with the 8600 series letting us down numerous...

Short and sweet on the change back to Michelin LTX AT2's. Cost per mile, through our account with Michelin we can get them very cheap and they wear like freakin iron. Our complaints with them used to be snow traction. Now we run dedicated snow tires (Winterforce LT and Blizzak W965's) on our...

Im back to Michelins now. Ill explain more tomorrow. Just wanted to make sure I remembered haha.

The cougar is a beast, but didnt really catch on. Theres a few of them running around but not many. They are very expensive and actually too big for many fields. The lower cost of 30' triple mowers and the fact you still have a useable tractor has been much more economical for many people. I...

Polishing Aluminum has always been rewarding for me. Its the one thing you really see a big turn around on and I just like working with it. Over time I have acquired the tools and products to make the process faster. I recently got into more sanding to get rid of heavy defects. Below is a...

Got 1k miles on it now. 46mpg by hand. Only complaint so far is the radio. When trying to scroll through the music on my iPod it is insanely slow. It also doesnt update the screen with the track/title most of the time when I let it change songs on its own. Otherwise everything is fairly nice...

I dont think VW is gonna kill the manual anytime soon. I like them a lot.

Thanks guys.

Its a racing program with SCCa VW started. Google it lol.

Picked up a 2010 TDI Cup Edition with a manual and 30k on it today. Nice car, this one will be for my fiance to drive. Ill put some more pics and info up later if needed.

Took a pic of his today while I was cutting hay. You cant see his nicest one which is inside the shed though. Grey one has a 3406a, brown and burgubdy are cummins and his nice one is an n14, the one he wrecked had a series 60 in it.

My neighbor has 4 pete cabovers now. Just keeps collecting them. His working trucks are new KWs though. He got to experience being the first at the wreck over a year ago in a snowstorm. Shattered his hip socket, messed up his knee and hand. Then he thought the truck was on fire and flopped out...

No its canola meal which is whats left after its been processed, we feed it as an alternative to soybean meal. I was only 80k.

Yes definatley getting our use out of it, went to Cargill yesterday for a load of canola meal, saved $20/ton going to the place 3hrs away versus 1hr. Got stuck in the massive storm on the way home though. Also get our mineral/protein premix from a different Cargill location, our nutritionist...

Ive seen too many flip over as well. With chopping there are plenty of times you find yourself in areas that arent ideal for end dumps. End dumps are still better for dirt and aggregate work but otherwise a belt is pretty universal but comea at a price.

Finally got underway chopping the last few days in between storms. Raining again now though. Got 250 acres of rye and triticale done and 300 acres of hay. 900 or so acres left this crop yet. I got a gopro hero3 the other night, so ecpect some neat videos of harvest and such later on...
