those rubber fingers are very pricy, I made my own, I cut 4 inch circles out of some 1/8 inch plate and cut square holes in the center to fit over the shaft. then I cut the rubber star out of the side wall of a rear tractor tire the sandwich the rubber star between the steel plates with four 1/4 inch bolts. It work very well, it took some time but it saved me a lot of money. That was 20 years ago and when I sold the picker 3 years ago the still looked good

We have already had a foot of snow and anywhere between 1-8 inches predicted tonight and tomorrow here in CNY.

We're about to get our first snow. We have a winter weather advisory through Monday forecasting around 8 inches from lake effect. Latest I'm seeing the worst may miss us and give Buffalo 2 feet. All depends on the direction the winds go across that cesspool Lake Erie. 🤣🤣🤣 I always hate wrestling tire chain on, good thing I only really need to worry about putting on one set this year.

@@Mad_Farmer912 We are getting more snow now too. I originally come from south of Buffalo about 25 miles. Southern Erie County and about a mile from Lake Erie so I know what the snow can be. I usually lay the chains out, drive just on them, and run a piece of baler twine through the wheel and then drive forward. That pulls the chains up on the tires tight and then latch them. i stop and get off a couple times and make sure they are going on straight. Doesn't work too bad. Takes about 10-15 minutes by myself.

I think trust is being lost like a lot of businesses because of getting too big and too much control. For me it's getting whether it's banks, equipment dealers, retailers like Walmart once they get more than 3 locations they seem to care only about money and profit and care less about customer service. Even in agriculture the bigger farms when they're getting 1000 cow dairies, 5000 acre farms, 100, 000 chicken farms the only factor of concern is money. Everything has gotten concentrated too much so fewer have control over too much we need more to have control less so more make more and less make like Bill or Elon.

The shaft and the coupler gear are probably both bad. I would put the chain back on to hold everything together straight and weld the gear to the shaft. Then I would drill though the shaft and gear and put a grade 8 bolt through it. Might not be right but it'll probably hold until something else fails.

I've got a disk with notched blades and one with smooth blades. The comparison isn't apples to apples, the one with notched blades is aggressive , but is a 16 foot disk. The smooth bladed one is 22 feet so I figure the added weight makes it cut as well as it does. I'd probably go with the notched on a smaller disk though. I planted open pollinated corn years ago, I think it was from Green Haven out there your way in Pennsylvania. I still get a flyer from them and they had many varieties available.

Our dinky little 10ft international disk has the notched blades in the front and smooth in the back. It works great for chisel plowed ground and even just straight disking fields. I don’t think I’d ever have a disk that had all smooth disks. Only problem with our disk is that it’s just to small and light so you gotta go over and over again to break up molboard ground and also it’s just a lot of passes around the field lol. I would imagine notched blades would work great on that allis disk.
@Mad_Farmer91222 күн бұрын
That's what I'm kinda figuring. Even though these are light disks also, they do a good job on plowed ground it's always sod ground that takes more to work them. Knocked disk should help with that and if I just wanted to disk last year's corn ground without plowing. I'd like to get a chisel plow for the corn ground.
