    Any experience with extended warranties for F250 size vehicles for towing?

    The extended warranty on my 2018 F250 was USELESS! A dealership must be able & willing to do the work, and the parts must be available, in order for a warranty to be useful. Complete waste of money.

    Mahindra common issues

    2014 is a different emissions tier, I believe. 2012 was the last of tier 3 But not sure.

    Poison Ivy cure?

    It might appear to be tenuous to some people, but I quit getting the nasty effects from poison ivy, poison oak, & poison sumac after I quit drinking A1 dairy. In fact, my overall gut health has been really good since-then; going on 12 years now.

    IFPL One, "hoot owl"

    It might not be so bad in Oregon if the CCC hadn't planted millions & millions of trees 4 foot apart and if public land didn't have the "dreadknotts" forestry policies. Millions of Jack-Pines in some of the Fort Rock Unit are 6" apart. Tillamook State Forest is a mess and ready for another...

    Looking for newer "old" movies for the cabin fever season

    We just finished watching the complete "Revolution" TV series. Great series but we completely forgot that one of the main actors in season two is/was an accused real life pedophile...🤢

    Hydraulic oil

    It took me three months to decide on which 10 gallons of HST oil to buy for my Mahindra 3016....the lack of standards makes it difficult. Paying much-more for the dealer brand wasn't an option. Considering the use of the tractor helped me decide to wait...severe duty vs medium or light duty...

    Ford Recalling Super Duty Pickups, Issues 'Do Not Drive' Warning for Brakes That Can Suddenly Fail

    Recall = Mia Culpa My 2018 STX gasser had a couple recalls and a couple warranty jobs, but only routine maintenance at 97K miles. In my experiences, the dealerships are 10X worse than the factories. Warranties are USELESS if the dealerships cannot or will not do the work. No plans to buy...

    Need utility Side by Side

    Whatever you choose, I respectfully suggest that a buyer knows how to decipher the DOM plate. "New" could mean a two to three years old piece of equipment....sitting on the lot.

    Push over trees with a small compact?

    I use mechanical "help" any time I'm cutting near power lines, property boundary, or a structure. Ladder (at least 1/3 of the height), run a cable in a dog-leg to a snatch block, then to the tractor....99.9% more safe than pushing a tree down with a tractor. Barbur Chairs can destroy a...
