Ranching

Ranching is an extensive way of raising livestock, primarily grazing cattle, sheep and horses, but also involves production of many other animals. The term ranch is used loosely as it is primarily up to the owner's discretion whether his/her locale is a farm or ranch, but it is commonly known as a very large tract of land that is often used in its native state. The historical and current practices of ranching and rangeland management among other things pertaining to ranching can be discussed in this category.

Why is there white smoke coming out of your tractor?

Could be an injector spraying at below the pressure that it should. Or a head gasket. Check your radiator for milky fluid, if not you can determine the bad injector by loosening the nut at the injector line/injector until the sound of the engine changes. The one that does the least change to sound/rpms is the bad one. You can have it tested at your local dealership.
