Anyone on here using two-way radios on the farm? I'm talking Midland/Motorola/Uniden handhelds, the ones that claim 24,26,32 miles or so? As the crow flies, We are spread out at most, 8 miles with a moderate hills and timber. I have no doubt any of these would work well for say, calling for a grain cart frmo the other end of the field, but is there any handheld out there that's gonna get me 4-8 miles to the shop or bins form the field? I don't want to spend a couple hundred bucks on a four-pack of radios, only to use them in a place where I could flash my cab lights and summon the grain cart or seed tender.... I know better than to expect the mileage the radios claim, but to buy a 32 mile advertised radio.. I would really expect to get half that since they're advertising it. The FCC should stop these claims, skydiving is the only time you could have those types of conditions!!

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
