    Amazing new truck

    All the Advertising is AI assisted these days and that convincing you the CAT truck does not exist. But starting in 2025 Ford will be releasing a Ford made CAT truck in limited editions and the price is over 140k for these diesel trucks. Incredible they cost more than Ford Raptors.

    Just saw my first $80,000 lawnmower

    The majority of John Deere layoffs have been in their Construction (SkidSteers/Backhoes) and Heavy Industrial factories. Their Ag units for tractors so far is still doing good...most especially the small tractors under 40hp.

    How do I send a fax from Office Depot?

    I not sent a fax in 18 years, but some banks definitely required a scanned facsimile of the actual page. Just go upto the Office Depot counter and send your fax....you will be assisted if needed. Cost is $1.49 first page and $1.29 every additional page.

    Cracked subframe

    I don't think it's a major problem. Its just a few units a year that develope stress cracks. And most of the Kioti subframe problems in the past that we have seen, have been mainly caused by excessive and rough use by owners.

    Ash Trees Dying

    I lost more than 40 Ash trees this summer, they withered and died with bark pealed back and all evidence points to this summers long drought here in Texas. EAB I considered possible, but I honestly don't know the indication or what to look for to confirm it was borers.

    Can a pile of fresh wood chips spontaneously combust?

    Ning was referring to N2 or Nitrogen in the gas phase. Worse yet...if he was referring to nitrogen in Ammonia Nitrates or fertilizer, that's ony 3% Nitrogen by weight....with 45% oxygen and 52% hydrogen. Atmosphere we breathe is 78% Nitrogen 21% oxygen and 1% trace gas...including 0.1% of CO2...

    Kioti DK5510 regen cycle

    Bill9068: Most likely you are only noticing the two regens because you experienced partial blockage of the DPF. Passive regens probably occurred during an extended work period of your tractor, and you failed to note the light on the dash, and this occurs mainly in daylight hours. Passive...

    LS SAYS A REGEN EVERY 2 HOURS IS NORMAL

    If your having frequent short-period regens on a Kubota, and your running at high rpm, I recommend considering that one of your fuel injectors is providing excessive fuel. Kubota service can check with a laptop the condition of all your injectors...and provide you with a printout.

    Texas Spring/Summer Thread

    Yes Indeed, six power plants tripped offline due to high surge in demand, but new procedures in start-up, allowed all six plants to return online to power generation in 30 minutes. Everyone complains they went down......but never report they were back online within 30 minutes

    This has to be a record !!!

    I stopped buying Whirlpool and the Whirlpool owned Maytags 12 years ago. They were breaking down far too often. I still have a Maytag dryer going on 27 years. Used it twice a week for 27 years. Bought a replacement Maytag dryer, and was shocked at build quality. Inferior parts, inferior design...

    LS SAYS A REGEN EVERY 2 HOURS IS NORMAL

    We had a thread here about 3 years ago, regarding regen cycles from owners. From all the hundreds of posts, it appeared that a coherent picture developed: 1. The higher rpm you operated your tractor, the longer the time between Regens. 2. Most Regens were passive, meaning owners could still...

    LS SAYS A REGEN EVERY 2 HOURS IS NORMAL

    Though we never found out from the OP, the true cause of his short Regen cycles on his LS; I still favor a bad injector, that is providing far more fuel than normal as the probable cause. That also would account for the "strong diesel odor" from his exhaust.

    Can a pile of fresh wood chips spontaneously combust?

    Nitrogen is a stable inert gas, and will never contribute to a fire or spontaneous combustion process. Infact the air we breath is 78% nitrogen. O2 and Methane are explosive when combined. I used to start paper on fire when I was a kid using a magnifying [emoji361] glass. I seriously doubt I...
