hey folks,
It's that time of year.. and I am such a newby...
I have read all kinds of posts on here about to use additive, and not to use additives...
And well, I just cranked the L3400 yesterday for the first time in a month..
It was fairly cool but not below freezing somewhere 38-43....
Had to clean out the ditches and fix some rain damage on the gravel drive.
I hate leaves!!!! or should I say the 10 bucket loads at least-- another story....
Since it was the first time in at least 2 weeks, I let it idle for about 10 min before heading off.. There was a post about some cold weather rough running so I am still being careful-- ya know I only have about 150 original hours!
Anyway, she ran great..
But as I consider ice and snow coming and my fuel was purchased almost 2 months ago....
what should I do to make sure it is okay?
I only have about 5 gallons left.. (bought about 30 gallons for a $1 less than the market price so I could not pass it up..-- Long story- involves actually driving the tractor about 5 miles up the road with a bucket of fuel cans...)
So what do yall think?
Thanks,
Jim
