My dealer simply said to pick my favorite diesel oil and consider a 5w40 since I planned to use in winter and it's easier on the machine starting. Been using Rotella T6 for a few years. I tried Shaeffers one year and was surprised how much burned down. The T6 levels stay much the same all...

Stihl is pretty much dominating right now. If you really want a nice saw, see if you can find a German made Dolmar before Makita moved the operations to China. Their 5100 series was a 14,500 RPM saw. There are 60cc too all the way up to 90cc

Lexus pricing for a Toyota

You were hosed. In our region there is a chain called Prompto. Most full synth oil changed are in the neighborhood of $50. Looks like $90 for something STR specific. https://promptooil.com/pricing-products/

My father has a cub cadet xt1 and my step father has the equivalent size Husqvarna but with a locking differential and Kawasaki engine. They are both solid machines for performing the mowing task. I would avoid Deere with that new 1 step oil change BS. You never get all the old oil out. I'd...

Your short term needs can be accomplished with FB marketplace then resold. Skid steer, tractor attachments and implements for certain projects fall into this category. And I'll even go out on a limb and call these items practically free since resale value will be about what you paid. How do...

Even the little Massey GCs are a full frame tractor. Funny, only other time I saw a tractor snapped in half was a frameless Deere

Yup. With that setup I would just want to minimize the log hitting the back of the machine. The log only needs the front to be barely lifted off the ground and not as high as that picture. Use a longer chain to distance the log away from the machine. Then maybe throw a tow bar on the quick...

Chip seal is going to be like coarse a grinding wheel to that polyurethane edge over mile long runs. Also an L2501 is likely to get pulled sideways from the weight of the snow it's pulling especially if it's heavy or deep when using a rear blade. There are videos on YouTube of much larger...

Mower deck on a GC lifts with 3 point control so it's independent of loader

Economy is starting to rollover. Lots of toys expected to flood the market now that stimulus money is gone and inflation is here

Hmmm... I just refilled my kerosene heater with a brand new spill-less, spring loaded, vented, spark-arrested spout contraption and it dripped kerosene all over the floor through those govt mandates. Time to order more EZ pour spouts. Oh and for tractors, get the hi-flo version. You can empty...

Amber LED light strips, arrange them however you want on the sides of the roof. Maybe see about an app or some kind of controller to give you a strobe effect. I see people using them all the time in the subcompact forums after they snap their ROPS lights off. If it were me I'd epoxy them...

If you are spending more than an hour mowing, the machine is too small. Good standard for any size yard. Zero turn? Love my subcompact with 60" driver over deck. You'll think of plenty of uses once having a loader and an imagination
