    Hi Folks, Wondering if an 18' (16+2) beavertail trailer will be long enough for the L3800 with 524 loader and Land Pride 1860 (5') bush hog. The trailer I'm looking at has the vertical ramps that rotate down for loading. Unfortunately I can't do a trial run due the the fantastic winter we're...

    Off-Road Diesel

    Does off-road diesel provide the same lubrication as highway diesel? Should any additives be used with ORD to protect our tractors? Are there any disadvantages to using only ORD? Thanks in advance for your input.
