Ok, I bought a 50 hp JD 4wd tractor with loader. Haven't even used it yet BUT I have been buying implements. Here's what I got and I really would GREATLY APPRECIATE your input on what else I need and a question or two on what I have (these are big items and very important purchases to me!!!! and the deer will thank you for your advice when they are big and fat (before I shoot them)). Planting corn/beans, clover/alf-alfa, turnips, rye/winter wheat, spraying and mowing native grasses. Maybe 10 acres a year of food plots and maintanence on 40 acres of native grasses.
-New 665 5&1/2 foot JD rotary tiller
-2 disks- 1 is a 6' the other a 10'
-3 pt sprayer with boomless nozzle (60 gallon)
-7' Rhino mower (the heavy duty model)- I need weight on the front- would it work to put bricks in my loader or something silly like that????
-1240 JD planter, 4-row. I've asked Dbtree about it. It has plates. It's in good shape. I just want it to obviously put beans and corn in ground. Do you feel like this will do the job really well OR should I bag it and buy a 7000? Easy to switch (and find plates) to go from corn to beans???? If this thing is gonna be a headache- I'll get a 7000. This is pry the area I need to most help on.
-Want a Cultipacker- can't find them and I really don't have time to go to auctions. I guess I might look around at farmer's places I know to try and get lucky- could watch newspaper BUT that's a rare shot, I suppose I could run an ad. Any suggestions appreciated!!!!
-Buying a 3 pt fertilizer spreader, probably just get one from Tractor supply or orschlein's or something. Any suggestions? Those seem ok?
What else do I need???? Thank you a ton!!!
