Just Sayin'

Ever notice when you see pictures of stuck equipment, rollovers or any other sort of screw up it usually tends to be with either a Deutz, Claas, Fendt in the countries they are made in or it's a Case, JD, or New Holland in those countries.

A Massey and an Allis...

 Leave it to the guys who drive Massey's and AC's to get into this kind of stuff.

It's dryin up

There isn't much mud around anymore, you pretty much have to find a creek or slough to run through to get your truck muddy.

Lift Kit or no Lift Kit

I don't know whether or not I want a lift kit. I like the extra clearance and the way the trucks look and how you can put bigger tires on, but I am concerned that they don't handle as well on the highway and can be hard on the frame of the truck. If I was going to build a strictly muddling truck, I wouldn't think twice about jacking it up, but I also need the truck to handle well on the highway.

Air seeders

I like Ezee On, they are very well built, simply built, so if anything does break it is easy to fix. They are not as precise as other drills because they are a heavy deep tillage cultivator with a distribution system. they have a very simple and reliable monitor and electrical system. At first I was skeptical of the ground driven fan and so was everyone else, but now that I have used it for a while I think it works very well especially with a tractor that doesn't have the return line. As soon as you let the clutch all the way out that fan is spinning fast enough to seed and you can stop the tractor and the fan won't slow down to below operating speed for two minutes or more. If I didn't have an Ezee On I would probably go with a Flexi Coil, then a Bourgault or a John Deere the thing I don't like about the Case Concords is the pneumatic tires they use for packers, that is a pile of tires to keep inflated and holding air especially on a machine that sits for 11 months of the year. This is my opinion on air seeders, what do you guys prefer?

Who else is done seeding

Is anyone else finished putting their crop in, I am

I want one.

I don't know about you guys but I think that looks awesome!

Quads

I myself prefer Polaris, I like the durability and they match horsepower with weight of the bike well. What do you guys think?

Seeding 2013

Nobody has much of anything in that I know of yet, everybody is too busy with cattle and hasn't had time to get equipment ready and it is still wet in some places.

73 - 87 Chevy / GMC 4x4

In my mind the 1973 - 1987 chevy gmc picups, suburbans and blazers make the best and coolest mud trucks. The chevy 350ci engine is one of the best gas engines ever made, they are reliable, powerful and durable, the 4 wheel drive system in these trucks hold up well even with a little abuse. These trucks have a strong frame that will hold up to being bounced and twisted over rough terrain, I would put some kind of preformance suspension in the truck, just because the stock suspension is not made for extreme off road use. It is extremely hard to find one of these trucks that has little to no rust, at least in Canada it is, up here guys want big bucks for these old trucks and most of them are beat up and would cost thousands to fix.

Good luck gettin that out!

Not the right 4x4 for muddin
