    Pastures look Great! Mowing was definitely beneficial. This was your first time housing the round bales, then to loose a significant quantity of your crop to issues beyond your control well then having to buy square bales. You can't cover all the "what if's". You did good. Also I've told you about my rattle snake problems and how the barn cats put a significant dent in that issue. Protect your cats...they are definitely a valued ranch hands. Good post.

    I’ve been a licensed pesticide applicator (for turf) most of the time since 1981. I agree there are good reasons to not spray your entire pasture but 2,4-D does not kill clover. Your mix would have to include Dicamba, or any of a couple other newer chemicals to take out the clover. 2,4-D as a standalone chemical is quite cheap. If you spray any herbicides be sure to add a spreader-sticker to make the most of your application.
    I really enjoy your channel.

    I must say that I am mighty proud of the 8N, after all us “Old” gals have to stand together😍. You did a marvelous job refurbishing and retrofitting for the round bales. You certainly put her to the test with the hay moving job. Had to chuckle at the cows eating the two bales in the corner…..it is not like the cows didn’t have anything to eat..or no wonder your cows look all slick and happy. I think that knocking those weeds down simply for pink eye control is well worth the effort, besides it does make the pasture look almost pristine. Hope that you are proud of the all the work you have accomplished this year with some pretty adverse occurrences. I was also, again, admiring your new pipe fence in the background of the video. Great job Tyler.

    Your tractor is looking good, nice you've finally had a chance to use her. Hay outside weathers fine if you put them in a row end to end. Stay out all winter if the net is good, you might loose an inch on the outside. We use to do that with ours in Cornwall UK. Stacking bales vertically in the barn is better, you get more bales in and allows the cats to go between them. Just making sure the stack is stable.

    @l337pwnage Год назад

    Age isn't as much of an issue as the weight. It's probably good that you have all those wheel weights on there. Also, the low horsepower of those old engines makes them pretty heat resistant.
    One thing to look for is keep that front end and steering lubed, tight, and inspected for wear. It's not designed for heavy duty loader work.
    I had a relative buy one with a loader on it and the front end and steering were all extremely worn. Even the steering gearbox needed a rebuild badly.

For the rodent problem in the hay, perhaps try the 5 gallon bucket with water in it and flip top gizmo baited with peanut butter. They go after the treat and then it flips them into the bucket of water where they drown. Search for it here on YT. Thanks for the videos.

      His has the auxiliary pump driven off the crank for a self contained basically live hydraulic loader. I dont know if you know much about the older ford n series but they dont create alot of hydraulic pressure or flow so the loaders that run off the tractor hydraulics arnt the best but they do work

    I am thinking about purchasing an 8n with the loader and other attachments and having a tough time because half tell me not to learn on this kind of tractor and the other half tell me I’ll make my money back just using it a few times. Anyone have any suggestions for somebody that is completely new to using tractors…
