First generation raw milk farmer from Michigan. Doing it even though it won't work. Feeling like a square peg trying to fit in a round hole.

Neighbor decided to have his winter wheat broadcast instead of drilled this year. Co-op spread 600# to the acre not 190# like he wanted. Co-op isn't sure it will form a head because of competition. Does he have any chance of saving it? Or is it doomed.

Looking for help! Have a 4020 with a synchro trans. Goes into all reverse gears fine. A couple of lower gears & 6th fine, but the rest, it wants to Jump out as you release the clutch. Especially 8th. Never been into a synchro. Is there anything i can do for adjustments? Or from the top cover of the trans? Or am i looking at a full split? Thanks in advance!

Grazing tool kit used to only be step-in posts and a roll of poly wire. Added the rubber mallet last week.....looking for recommendations on best drill bit for soil for next week as rain chances all but went away 🙄 High speed steel, tin coated, carbide what's the best option🤔

Wondering if anyone out there beds an older barn with large square bales of straw? Looking to get away from handling 1200+ small squares and using large instead. Looking for ideas on how to handle the bale once the strings are cut and how crappy it is to shake the flakes out?

Had all the helpful drivers out with me today as I was traveling to rake hay..... 1st one passes at an intersection where I am about to turn left 😳 2nd one stops right in front of a mailbox on a rural dirt road that's about a lane and a half wide....passed a driveway 20' back 🤦
