Well, I'm kinda in a pickle here....I'm in pretty dire need of a loader tractor. Family ranch has one I can use, but it requires me driving it 3 miles through the hills to "my" place then back again at the end of the day so it can be used to fill the feed wagon the next morning, so I'm really thinking I oughta get one of my own. Not alot of spare cash lying around, but I spotted a decent-looking 560 with a loader(don't have any more info than that presently, just was a drive-by sighting) at a local tractor shop. I know the owner is "into" old Farmalls, antique pulling, etc., so I figured he'd maybe be interested in a trade for my 650D. It's a good running tractor other than still needing work on the #1 cyl exhaust valve. I've seen these tractors(650's) bring $2500+ on auctions with stuck motors, no tires(mine are decent) and missing parts, so I figured mine might be fairly close to trading, although I'd have to throw in a little boot most likely judging from local 560 prices. Question is- if you owned a pretty nice 650D would YOU wanna trade it for a 560? Around here 560's are around every corner but this is the only 650 I've ever seen other than the ones on that auction.....kinda think that although I need a loader tractor I'd kick myself someday for getting rid of it. One last question- the 650 is a bit big and bulky for most general work....but "could"make a pretty decent loader tractor. Think I oughta just find a loader for the 650? Would, say, a Farmhand F-11(really like that one on Allan's H) that was off a row-crop tractor fit without much trouble? Any and all opinions welcomed!

Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
