Cows Farming Gehl RT105 Initial Impressions Machine Reviews

2019 Gehl RT105 – Super Compact Track Loader

A quick overview and demonstration of one of the world’s smallest compact track loaders (CTL), the Gehl RT105. I bought this skid steer because I can tow it behind my half ton RAM 1500, and because it goes where my Gehl RT210 can’t. Don’t let its small size fool you, it still has a tipping load of 3000lbs and weighs in at under 5000lbs. In this video I use it to feed the cows a large square bale (800 lbs) and then put on the 4 in 1 bucket from CID attachments to clean out the cow barn. Pretty nice little setup, but man is it noisy!

I will be doing a more thorough review of the machine in another video, this was just a quick video to show how it performs in the real world.

2020 Case FarmAll 75C Review – Initial Impressions – Full Test Drive and Walkthrough

If your head is spinning looking for a good Compact Utility, or Utility, tractor take a look at this video to get some insight on the thought and buying process I went through, and why I ended up settling on the Case 75C, which is a step above the compact utility class. I never looked in the Utility tractor class because I thought they would be more expensive. I found quite the opposite, beefier frames, more horsepower, and way more standard features for the same price.

I will be doing long term reviews on this machine, and will also be putting out more videos on the equipment buying process, so be sure to subscribe on YouTube to get the latest videos. Thanks!

Hay Equipment for my First Year Making Hay – 2021

So…I am getting into the hay business! I just bought a load of equipment, sight unseen, from the internet…Will I regret this? I am super excited about the Krone AMR280 disc cutter, it is the only piece of hay equipment I bought that is totally new. I will be using the cutter on the back of my tractor (check out the my video here: 2020 Case FarmAll 75C Review).

The New Holland BR740 round baler is definitely the most intimidating piece of equipment in the bunch. I did manage to get a service manual for it and feel pretty good about how everything works, but man is it massive.

The Tonutti 5 Wheel rake is very straight forward and lightweight, I expect no issues here.

Lastly, the New Holland Super Hayliner 68 is over 60 years old but I was assured that it is in good working condition. I may convert this baler to run off of a 16 horsepower gas motor so I can pull it behind my Honda Pioneer.

I will have my hands full this spring getting everything tuned up and it should make for a very exciting summer, subscribe to follow the action. I am a first time farmer trying to figure things out on my own.
