That was 10 pages of wasted time....

The mini has been putting in the work this summer. Helped a friend trench for a new septic line. Tore a garage down and cleaned that up into dumpsters. Took a lot of trees down, stumped, and put in a new septic. It's been run almost every day for at least a few minutes since June probably...

Sorry to see that! Glad your dad made it out okay though. Hopefully the replacement process is easy as it can be.

Found it ....that hose that wasn't attached to anything. Turns out it has a stopper in it and it should drain once removed

Anyone know where the heck the coolant drain is? I found a petcock on the front of the machine but that sure smells like diesel. Found a line off the bottom of the radiator but it doesn't seem to have a drain on it that I can find? Zero visual on the bottom of the radiator though so maybe it's...

Sounds like you need to buy it!

I say go for it. DRW with decent tires does okay in the winter. Friend plows with a F600 (same as F550) and with dedicated snow tires he can plow in 2wd most of the time. People that are always getting REALLY stuck and blaming it on the DRW is probably user error. I spent some time way back in a...

Thanks for the pictures! Congrats on the new machine.

Maine is awesome. Grew up sailing the entire coast and just exploring the area. Its as good as it gets

Great way to spend time!

Where do you spend your time on the boat? My parents have been in your area the last summer or so doing a chunk of the Great Loop. Beautiful area and beautiful boat you have.

Its been good to me so far, not sure on hours off the top of my head but probably 100-150 range. I blew a main hose from the pump to valve body last fall and that made a real mess. It had previously been replaced and who ever ran the replacement hose kinked it and it blew there. Besides that its...

Haven't updated in a while. Spent a bit of time this summer at a friend's house pulling out gardens, stumps, rocks. Building some small walls and redoing the back lawn. Installed electric to an outbuilding and fixed a collapsed culvert. But more firewood as well.

I havent heard it.....I have a friend with one as well as we service a few at work. I also just went to Rams website and built a SRW 3500 with an Aisin. Requires the HO motor to get it and its automatic at that point. The only wait to get an Aisin with the 6.4 gasser is with a cab chassis truck...

You can order it in the 3500 only not the 2500. But the Aisin is absolutely an option in a regular truck
