I use the same fluid. Rated to -58F. Been using it for 2 years, year 'round, zero problems. $210 per 5 gal bucket is current price, with "member" discount, can order it direct from amsoil website and it's still free shipping when you order $100 or more. Signing up for a "membership" is $20/year...

As have I. Despite what the peanut gallery has to say about it.

You couldn't be more wrong. But I think you knew that before you even typed it. Troll much?

I know I've been much happier since mine fell off 6 years ago...

If you need 50 hp at the pto, get a tractor rated for 50 hp at the pto. The attachment you power (in this case, a mower) is going to have NO IDEA what transmission type is dragging it around. There are plenty of hydro equipped tractors available with 50+ pto rated hp. Ignore the engine hp...

AG exemption does not require a MEC card. But it is within 150 miles of the farm, and can only go out of state if that neighboring state has a reciprocity agreement with your home farm state. There are other limitations, no doubles/triples, etc. And I think the vehicle has to be registered with...

You are correct. I see a lot of independent drivers and farmers here that I personally know have NEVER had a "random" drug test. Interesting.

If you drive commercial in state, you will still need to have a MEC card on you while you are driving that commercial vehicle. The main difference is the state (WI in your case) isn't requiring you to have a copy of that MEC card on file in the state system (which is actually tied to the...

I was incorrect. It is federal mandate, not insurance company mandate. As far as keeping your CDL even though you are not using it, I believe most (if not all) states have a CDL category "intrastate" (means in state only, in ND it is a "Category 3" CDL), where a MEC card (Medical Examiner...

I guess I come from a different place than the OP. I would contact the neighbor and apologize for being on his land in the first place, explain my mistake in locating the property boundary, offer to show him what and where I made "changes" to his property and ask him what, if anything he wanted...

With Friday's snow, we finally had enough on the ground for me to bother with. Used my 3pt blower and FEL mounted bucket + Edge Tamers to clear the driveways and parking area yesterday. I think it's only the 2nd or 3rd time I've had to do it this winter. Don't even have the tractor plugged in to...

And I'll bet a tire full of molasses runs great at -40 F(C).

What is the operating temp range of the fluid the deere dealer put in? Yes, it matters. Maybe the guy running the lube rack that day was an idiot and put in the wrong fluid. I run synthetic hydro all year round and have zero issues operating down to -40 F (C).

It makes the "other guys" feel better. This way they're not reminded that they spent WAY too much money on their silly colored tractors. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

All depends on what you're used to I guess. When I went from my 74 Dodge 3/4 ton 4x4 "camper special", to my 2012 Ford F-250 4x4 (gas engine), I couldn't believe the difference in the ride. The Ford drives like a Lincoln Towncar compared to my old Dodge. I keep load range E tires on my Ford...
