Picked up a new implement for the 3930.
Hesston PT-7 Haybine: 
Installed a used bumper on the 3930 last night. FIL found it for me. It's a little bent up, but works fine and gives me a hitch point on the front of the tractor. Came off a Ford 5610. Not bad for $50 I guess. 
Not I need a canopy, a hay rake, baler, and some wagons; and I'll hopefully be ready for my first hay season on my own land. |

My tractor work has been lacking here lately. Had to use it today to move some building material since my truck is having some sort of electrical issue draining my batteries over night.

This was the same concept....but it was taken off and a weight pack put on it.

I had always told myself that a L39 with backhoe was as big as I would ever need, when I started pricing the L39 I randomly priced the MX and it was sooo much more tractor for nearly the same price as a similarly equipped L39 so went that way. When I was shopping one of the stores had a used 7060 with a backhoe that I nearly went with, it was just slightly heavy/big for my trailer and I know I have to move it at some point with all the associated implements so that sealed the deal for the MX, if I was stationary I would absolutely have gone with the slightly used 7060. The worst part about tractors is the one you have will do "almost" everything you want it too do

As my dad says, a good equipment operator is one who keeps the machine upright and doesn't destroy anything in the process of what their working on.
Saying that, I've been in and around equipment since I was old enough to tell the difference from a John Deere and a Case without calling them "just tractors", and I am still miles behind being able to operate like my dad does. Granted I'm better and some machines and operations, but he'll mostly walk circles around me. |

Only picture I have handy, just a typical beater gun that rides in the truck, on tractor (normally not on the hood ) but I was hunting a dog that was terrorizing my Alpacas that afternoon 
Range Tool lower RRA LPK Delton 16" mid general generic non anodized upper Wilson MPI BCG PA red dot Basic solid rifle Disclaimer to antidag shooters, this is a typical collarless mutt let loose by POS meth heads and other trash, they get killed by lot's of folks for running cattle, horses, goats and my alpacas |

Thats what I hate when the person running it wont even keep up proper care on it. I check everything before I run a machine, which is why I am the only one the bossman lets on certain equipment, because I watch what I'm doing and I keep it checked on a regular. |

So we use the motograders on all the gravel roads, we only use them on blacktops if they have thick ice on them. BUT So during the winter with the freeze thaw cycles, heavy traffic, sleet/rain sometimes the snow packs onto the gravel roads causing a giant sheet of ice across the entire surface with tire tracks if it was semi soft then froze so we put those tooth blades on to scratch the ice hope to chip off high spots and grove to try and get to gravel sometimes if we get gravel we will take the blade and spread the gravel onto the icy surface to try and get traction. most of the time we have just straight blades installed. and we will use them to "turn" the road. we basically use the straight blades to cut and grade the road put crown back into the road. |

Okay I understand a little better, though not much. maybe I need to come to Iowa, and you can let me ride along. 
And yes, I will ask to learn to run that equipment in a parking lot where nobody can get hurt.
