    SCUT vs ZTR Mower Cut Quality - Kioti CS2530

    That sounds about like what you would do. I'm sure quite a few people don't even bother asking about what you are selling. A savvy buyer will know that the item you are selling is worth so you must be able to take advantage of some poor sap.

    Kubota L4802 vs MX5400

    I don't think you will need power to a carport that will shelter your tractor from the weather. For under $4k you should be able to have on constructed. With 144 acres you should have plenty of room for the carport.

    The cover keeps dust and dirt away from the spline and as long as the spline as plenty of grease there shouldn't be any moisture or rust. The cover came with the tractor and there is no reason NOT to use it.

    I will be taking my Y in to have a tow hitch installed this Friday at the local Tesla Service center. While it's be installed I scheduled a test drive with a Cybertruck. Because, why not? 😀

    Is the Cyber Truck a Flop?

    When we take our Tesla Y in to have a tow hitch installed at the local Tesla Service center, I have scheduled to test drive a Cybertruck. When the CT can compete with Ford and GM EV trucks with the same rated range for similar costs then I might think about getting a CT. But I would not pay...

    Where do you park your tractor when not in use, inside/outside/Covered outside?

    Had a carport built but didn't anticipate a tractor canopy in the future. Once I install the canopy my tractor won't fit.

    My apologies. 2025 Chevrolet Silverado EV LT Extended Range It was the extended range with 440 mile estimated range that I test drove and it was every bit a truck. Towing range will definitely take a hit if towing anything substantial. Disadvantage is the charging time (~18 hrs at 240V to...

    Our local Chevy dealer has a Chevrolet Silverado LT EV. Test drove it a few miles. $72K retail. The dealership didn't seem to fond of it as they said it was forced on them to be able to carry V8 trucks. I liked it. 400 mile rated range.

    I'm not surprised. Driving an EV made me realized how antiquated the gas/diesel vehicles really are. Nincompoops like B.O. will never get it because they are stuck in the past.

    Is the Cyber Truck a Flop?

    Which makes my point that most truck owners (F150 size especially) don't use their trucks for towing, hauling or seldom use it to haul stuff in the bed. I did use my F250 to haul 4 loads of paver base and pea gravel last year as well as loaded the bed with flagstone. I just don't use that often.

    Is the Cyber Truck a Flop?

    I would use a cyber truck as a truck just as much as I use my F250 diesel as a truck.

    Why should parents be obligated to pay for a kids college tuition. We paid nothing toward any of our kids college tuition. If they were smart they would score high on ACT to get scholarships. If not go to military and earn GI bill. I'm not sacrificing my retirement so my kids can get a degree.
