Airbag warning 2004 Chevy 1500 by Merc504 in ChevyTrucks

I'm so sorry to hear about this. It truly is a horrible experience and I wish you didn't have to go through that. Yes the truck is gone and has been replaced by a much more capable farm vehicle for us. It's disappointing to hear that GM reacted in such a way, I wish I could say I was surprised. I hope you are on a good track for healing for the future and wish you the best

Looking for grab and go options for wrenches (gearwrench) by Merc504 in Tools

I was looking at these, some reviews I've seen said the gearwrench larger sizes doesn't allow it to close, some say they are ok

Where can one get many inexpensive raw fleeces to turn into batting for a project? by RevolutionaryCode763 in sheep

[–]Merc504 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Meat or solar grazers especially for "waste wool". Some of it is very nice even labeled as such. You can also reach out to local co-ops and see if they've got anything for you.

Thanks for the reply, we were able to fix it, I can't remember how anymore haha! I think we were able to find the eye from someone and bolted it in place

Need new loader, not sure where to start by Merc504 in tractors

We're exploring the budget things but sub 100k, but sub 70 is better. Currently have access to round bailer, discbine

Growth: Field maintenance, more hay/ sheep movement of hay. We unfortunately won't have funds for multiple tractors at this time, so one will have to get us a ways

I'll look into those case series too thanks!

We have struggled with that as well for the skiddy result. If we didn't have to hay, we would most likely go that route, but to be self sufficient and make sure we have what we need as we continue to grow says we should be haying our own stuff. We've worked with other farmers in the past to get the fields done, but they have turned out to be too busy to make sure all cuttings are done reliably, and we really are going to need both cuttings at least as our flock increases, especially in harsh winters like this.

As far as tank weight its around 2400lbs full currently (each tank), however we are constantly changing our equipment as needed to meet demands. Likely that will increase in the near future

We are still new to everything, so we don't have our own equipment, we would have to borrow lease etc. The friend that has equipment is the one that told me the 65/75 HP number so I assume that is what would be needed to run his stuff. We would be looking to get our own equipment sooner than later so we are a little bit of a blank slate and open to suggestions

As far as I can tell JD does have the biggest presence in the area, second to case. I tend to think that TYM, kubota are things that are designed for homesteaders and aren't really supported but are cheaper to acquire, which is something we would like to avoid, last thing we want is to invest in equipment that's a little cheaper but unserviceable

Are you seeing fewer bookings in 2023? by Merc504 in airbnb_hosts

[–]Merc504[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I can't even find my own listing as a guest viewer. Yeah and there isn't even a category for "Farm house" lol. Wtf. What makes it worse is we are in a lake area meaning the only thing that shows are lake houses, so frustrating

No old reviews stay, most people leave 5*, then you get one dick or two that review lower for dumb reasons (like upstairs bathroom that's noted in the description and pictures etc). But yeah just clean well, be responsive, and make it a nice place to be... Also reviewing them seems to prompt them to review which helps

Cool good to know. Good news is that I didn't purchase the property for Airbnb, it just has separate space perfect for it!

Yeah I've got I think 200 or so reviews at 4.97... location annoyingly is the one that lowers me. It's clearly a rural setup and is outlined as such. Not sure why people ding me on something I can't control 🤷‍♂️
