Weigh scale on your loader tractor

[ALLFARMER]

I just wonder if anyone on here has a weigh scale
on their loader?

I have heard it pretty easy to rig up. Works thr
same way super b grain trailers do only with
hydraulic pressure not air. Tie a hydraulic line into
your lift cylinder lines and mount that and a good
fluid filled& large pressure gauge where you can
see it easily from your tractor seat. Then note the
pressure empty with maybe a straw bale and a
heavy green feed bale. Have the straw and green
feed bale weighed on a regular scale to determine
the weight and correlate that to your hydraulic
pressure readings.

Why? Are you paying on a per pound basis?

Yes, in all seriousness, you would
really have to work at it to go broke
growing $7 corn. Tough to fathom.

Especially in the states, where they have
100% crop insurance, a grip program,
direct payments and who knows what other
subsidies...

So you have a rough idea what the feed is worth
and how much your feeding.

Weigh a random sample on the regular scale you are
talking about and save the money on the technology
- you really don't need it.

Gee, that one comes in at $6000 less than some
competitors. Hate to think what retail price is.

Ya BTO thay called the loan because they
would rather have cents on the dollar,
than all the money plus interest. Seems
plausible to me. -sarcasm-
