Anybody ever been around an Allis Chalmers 5040? I can pick up one with a loader cheap. I know its a f'ed over communist copy of a Fiat. The first thing I told the guy when I saw what it was is,"you'd have to give it to me".

I have access to equipment at work to make those butt joints, just need the roll plastic. We stock 1 1/4" but not 2" or 3"

I saw that light bulb all the way from Arkansas.

Too light. They end up at the bottom of a holler or shoved into a fence here. They are tuff though

We could fill the bottom ring with sand before fusing it.

I like... How hard will it be to get the bolts threw that?

My allis friend runs fords in that size if that means anything.

I don't think it'd be to difficult. Little hard on the drill bit and a little silicone wouldn't hurt. I was wondering earlier if they filled up with water.

I have one of these feeder wagons. It holds 5 4x5 bales and I can park it in a different spot every time I feed. It wasn't cheap but money well spent for me.

Them are hard to beat. My buddy put a back board on his and fills it with the chopper.

Ground down here in the winter doesn't freeze enough to utilize them. The ones I see around have flat tires and are stationary feeders. Most everyone uses rings and moves them between rains. Also, if you have a good hill and good hay they clean up, bales often get unrolled.

Not really. Chopped the corn in August. I won't do rye for pasture anymore. Can't stay ahead of it in the spring.

Milk worth anything these days?
