The Tractordata info is wrong, it will not lift that much. I struggle with my 16LA loader, the previous model to the 250TL, to get a pallet with 1500# off the trailer with my Land Pride PFL3048 SSQA forks which weigh 358#. If I can tilt the load back over the pins without dumping stuff off, it...

Our TC40DA has a Red Master II arena drag on it all the time. It weights 816# and sticks out a bit so leverage helps. The tires are not loaded. I have maxed out the loader lifting pallets and didn't have an issue with the rear wheels getting light. I do go slow with the weight low so as to...

Scam. Read the "How To Buy" page. You pay 100% up front, money is held in trust, they send you the equipment, you have 14 days to inspect the equipment and either accept it or return it at their expense. Then a full refund in 24 hours. Not the way I would buy a piece of equipment.

Sounds like you blew a seal in the cylinder. The bleed holes allow the pressure to not build up where it isn't supposed to be in the cylinder. You can rebuild them yourself or take it to a hydraulic shop. Instead of buying the expensive NH seal kit they will just match everything up to...

Titan is the manufacturer. I trailered the tractor. Easy day trip.

I replaced all 4 on my TC40DA a few years back. Tried all the local tractor dealers and tire shops, even the Goodyear truck tire shop with the mobile trucks. No luck there. Went on the Titan website and found the closest dealer. Was a 200 miles round trip, cost was $2,000 mounted on the...

They are nice. We have all GM products. Mine are GMC, my wife drives a Tahoe. I have a great dealership and salesperson I work with.

John Deere makes a locking lynch pin. I don't have any experience with them. May be worth a shot. John Deere 716-inch Quick Lock Lynch Pin - AA23627

I would add it to the truck and trailers. I have the GMC factory TPMS for the truck and all 5 of my trailers. It is great peace of mind monitoring it. My trailer TPMS also shows air temp in the trailer tires. I figure if a bearing starts heating up it should show up in tire temp.

It is a project tractor for sure. I would take a chance on it, the TC series are solid tractors. While there are a lot of parts still available for the shifter, some of the critical ones like forks, and rods are discontinued. What is available are seals, bolts, etc. as the parts diagram...

Sounds like the common problem for the TC series, internal corrosion between the battery cables and the terminals. It allows voltage to pass so everything looks good until you put a load on it, then no amps will pass. You can use a set of jumper cables to test it. Connect them to where the...

Sounds like an issue where fuel is getting choked off from the tank. After it sits enough fuel flows through to let it run for a little longer. From the tank to the fuel filter, the clear bowl, is gravity fed. Coming out of the bottom of the tank is a pretty small elbow, doesn't take much...

My WM75 is gear, the TC40DA and WM25 are HST. The WM75 only comes in gear. If HST were an option, I would have gotten it. When mowing pastures in mid-range at 2000 RPMs, PTO speed, my options for gears and speed are 1st gear - 1.6 MPH, 2nd gear - 2.4 MPH, and 3rd gear - 3.5 MPH. My back...

The bill of sale is all I ever get when I buy tractors. I use it to show value when updating insurance coverage. Other than that, it sits in a file folder in my office.

My haul vehicle is my 2024 GMC 3500HD 4WD with the 6.6 Duramax/ Allison 10 speed auto transmission. I started with a Big Tex 14GX 14' GN scissor lift with 2' sides, capacity of 7.2 yards. GVWR of 15,900#, 11,260# of cargo. I was hauling 6 yds of dry topsoil, probably slightly overloaded at...

The TC series has a problem with internal corrosion on the battery cables where they were pressed into the terminals. It allows volts to flow but not amps under load, hence everything lights up but cannot start. You cannot see it by visual inspection. You can bypass the cables with a set of...

I have the Dewalt folding stand. It works great. I have the Dewalt 20V compound miter saw and a General 7" compound miter saw that mount on it. The two mounting brackets bolt to the bottom of the saw and clamp on the rail. Very sturdy and folds up nice for storage.

Sounds like poor dealer communications and equipment prep. All of my new tractors had a few hours on them. My 2024 Yukon had almost 100 miles on it when I took delivery. It came out of the factory in Arlington. Instead of waiting a week or more to get vehicles delivered the dealership took 4...

Low brake oil level is what my WM75 manual shows for it.

The TC series has a problem with internal corrosion where the cable is pressed into the battery terminal. To check you can bypass the battery cables with a set of jumper cables. Clamp them at each end to where the cables attach. The corrosion allows voltage to pass but not amps. You get...

I understand your situation. I had CenturyLink DSL at 4 Mbps before Spectrum came in with fiber. OneRing over the air was expensive at $150/mo for not much better speed, 10 Mbps. When Spectrum came in, I jumped at it.

I rest the front end of the cutter on 2' 6"X6" blocks, one on each side, when I store the cutter. I can pivot it around to get the arms attached by grabbing the tailwheel to move it around. It slides easily on the wood. Then I use a small ratchet strap to hold up the PTO shaft level with the...

Fiber all the way to the modems. I have 2 systems, one 400 Mbps for the house and one at 100 Mbps for the shop. Both have the slower upload speed.

Not with Spectrum fiber.

I went with having multiple tractors so I don't have to change stuff out. The WM75 has a 6' cutter for pastures, the WM25 has a 4' cutter for under the trees and small paddocks, and the TC40DA has the arena drag. If I need to swap implements it is usually the TC40DA that gets the nod.

Frame size and weight makes a difference. Trying to stay away from emissions I bought a NH Workmaster 25S 25hp subcompact last year. It had a midmount mower and FEL. This year I added a Land Pride 4' cutter. It felt like the tail was wagging the dog, not enough weight on the front end...

It is gone. Thanks.

Another annoying ad, covers 1/4 of the screen.

GMC is now competitive in the EV truck market. The 2025 Sierra EV models were only available in Denali trim, starting at $89,900. GMC now has 3 different trim levels for the 2026 Sierra EV. It is based on the Avalanche chassis. Starting at $62,400 for the Elevation edition, plus destination...

My GM dealer sells Allstate extended warranties. I have them on all 3 of our vehicles. Extends warranty out to 10 years or 100,000 or 150,000 miles, depending on vehicle. Since we don't put that many miles on our vehicles it will cover them for 10 years. Deduction starts at $100 and drops...

Saw what I believe was a Claas tractor with the triple mower setup working in the fields cutting hay today. One on the front and one on each side. On the way home it passed me on the highway with the 2 side cutters folded up. Looks like a pretty spendy item but was cutting what looked like a...

Good news is the valve for the TC45DA is still available, Messick's has 1 in stock. Bad news is it is $1201.96. The valve can be rebuilt according to the parts diagram, there was a complete kit available at one time. Some of the individual parts are still available.

We went down about 10% but are up over 4% for YTD. Our goal is between 5% to 10% annual growth, we are on track for that and have averaged 10% for the last 13 years. Some years up, some years down. After retiring we are still diversified but conservative. Here are the sectors our ETF...

Like others have said I would disconnect, clean, and reconnect the lines. If it persists, I would swap the lines to determine if it is the valve or some other issue such as a bad hydraulic line or cylinder. It looks like the valve is not serviceable and NH has discontinued the valve, but maybe...

Was mowing front pastures today and got off to get a drink from the fridge. Here is what the PTO indicator looks like when operating normally and after pressing the yellow button. It just reverses the image. After I returned and sat back down in the seat it went back to normal operation. It...

To the OP: If you haven't bought a trailer U-Haul now rents a 16' 10,000# utility trailer, if your vehicle can tow it. Here is the thread I started on it. U-Haul 16' 10,000# Toy Hauler Utility Trailer Now Available. Vehicle and trailer inspections are no longer required in Texas, as of...

I didn't get any free electricity. It didn't quit metering, it just didn't have a display.

The meter is in constant communication with the power company. If it quits communicating, they know something is wrong.

Mine works on my WM75. You must be sitting in the seat, PTO engaged. All three gear levers must be in neutral and the parking brake set. Push the button, you will see the PTO indicator change to a grey box background. You can then exit the seat and the PTO will stay engaged. When you sit...

They will know. The display quit working on my smart meter, it notified the electric coop. They sent a service guy out to replace it. When the power goes out, I get a notice on my phone app without contacting the electric coop

A Kubota RCR1248 rotary cutter for the NH 25S and a ULINE jack stand for the Big Tex 14GN. It may go several months between trips and the hydraulic jacks leak down. The jack stand will take the pressure off the system.

I just make some loops with the tail and slide in back thru the ratchet. Then I lock the handle down. Never have issues.

That's the dealer requiring it, not Kubota. He gets a commission by selling the insurance. Kubota does require insurance, but I can use my Farm Bureau policy. The Kubota form was just a new hoop to jump thru for using Kubota financing.

NH uses DOC/EGR for the Workmaster series up to 75 hp. I have not had any issues with my Workmaster 75. I bought it new 5 years ago. The 55/65/75 series is made in Turkey by NH & TurkTractor, they are not rebadged LS tractors. I believe the 50/60/70 series is made in India by NH.

I bought a pasture vacuum 800 model. Works OK if you clean up every few days.

I wouldn't hesitate to buy an older one if I needed it. I have multiple GMC diesels with very few problems. Started with a 1995 1500 with the 6.5, then went to 2500HDs with the Duramax 6.6 in a 2003, a 2008, and a 2017. Currently have the 2024 3500HD with the Duramax 6.6 and the 2024 Yukon...

GM has the checklist for trailering as well. You can add custom items like check ball size. At first I was not using it and overlooked some things like putting in the lock pin on the bumper pull hitch. I now use it as well as chaining the pin to the tongue to remind me that it is there. It...

Not according to the NH parts diagrams. They look to be different. The TC18 brackets are discontinued. Here is the TC18 diagram and the models the TC18 brackets fit. Here is the TZ18DA diagram.

Looks like a viable option for hauling smaller tractors. Has a 10,000# GVWR with a payload weight of 6,845#. Multiple tiedown points, surge brakes, and triple ramps. Rents for $89.95 a day.

Not yet. I still have about 180 bales in the barn from last year. I usually start hauling in hay around September/October. My hay supplier uses Steffen equipment so now I am matched up with him. I still have my W.R. Long 10 bale grapple but will probably put it up for sale after hauling in...

We ordered some limited edition sheets of stained glass, which is a routine thing for us. When we received the box it looked in bad shape and was very heavy, which is quite unusual. Seems along the way an employee at a FedEx facility cut open the box and stuck a John Deere front wheel adapter...

Added a new Steffen 10 bale grapple with 3rd/4th function electric diverter valve. Will allow me to operate the splitter valve from the cab. Will use my existing 3rd function to connect to it. The 4th function allows me to rotate the grapple 90° to stack more hay in the hay barn. I will be...

I would go for a minimum of a tandem axle 16' trailer, even if you have to up your budget. For a long-term capital expenditure, it will pay off. I traded in my Big Tex 50LA tandem axle which was 14' long, 77' wide, and 5,000# GVWR for a new Big Tex 70PI trailer. It is tandem axle with brakes...

I like my Kubota ZD1211. It sips fuel compared to my previous Cub Cadet gas ZTR. Even with the suspension seat it is not the most comfortable in rough ground. I am considering adding an air ride seat that comes with the ZD1611 to make mowing more tolerable. Making the wife happy is...

Same here. Just came back up.

When I bought my RTV- X recently I had to get a Kubota form signed by my Texas Farm Bureau that the TFB insurance covered everything that KTAC covered.

I wanted to add a small tractor to the fleet to do some mowing in rougher areas of the yard, dirt work around the buildings, and mulch the flowerbeds. I lucked out and found a new 2023 NH 25S with loader and MMM at the NH dealer for $14,900 last year. They even took my 20 y/o Kubota F2560 in...

I have the same issue with flat faced connectors. Best way I found to avoid it is to turn off the tractor and cycle the hydraulics several times to bleed off any pressure. Still have to crack a hose on the grapple occasionaly to bleed off pressure.

It is too bad for the ones involved in the recall. My wife's new 2025 Tahoe High Country with the 6.2L is not involved with the recall. Compared to the 5.3L we drove for a test it is night and day for power. It is fun to drive but you do have to watch your speed. It gets up to speed fast...

No problem. Just tape over the openings to keep the dust out.

I get the same with Spectrum 400 Mbps fiber, which is fiber all the way to the modem. I am using a D-Link Eagle Pro mesh router. The router is hardwired to the modem with about 40' of Cat 5e. My computer is about 40' from the router.

I currently have 4 Big Tex trailers, plus have had several others that were traded in on the current ones. No issues with any of them. My 14GN 20+5 has the Mega ramps, they are nice. I put 5,400# d-rings in every stake pocket for hauling hay, works out well having a tiedown every 2 feet if...

Is it wrong or making do with what you got?

I admit I am getting old, I gave up on 5 gallon jugs a long time ago. I burn thru 30 gallons a month during mowing season, if not more. With 3 tractors, a ZTR, and a UTV, all diesel, it goes pretty fast. The WM75 tank holds 20 gallons and burn thru it at about a gallon an hour. That is why I...

I have had the left tank look empty when the gauge still showed 1/4 tank in the right tank. It ran fine for me.

I was once like that. Thanks to knee replacement no more running for me. That keeps me from doing some stupid things, although not all.

My local GMC/Chevrolet dealer said it would have cost them $500,000 per each of their 3 locations to be able to sell the Chevrolet/GMC EVs. Since they predicted very low demand they passed. They can still service everything on a GM EV except for the drivetrain.

I paid $95 to get my 3.0L Duramax serviced at the GMC dealer last Saturday, new Service Manager must have used the gas motor coupon. That included rotating the tires. With their service special coupon the 6.2L shows to be $109.99, so roughly the same as the diesel. Even using the diesel...

Diesels are nice and actually cheaper up front in the GMC Yukon and Chevrolet Tahoe, plus the higher MPG makes up for the difference in fuel cost. The 3.0L Duramax diesel is $1500 less than the 6.2L gas motor in the Yukons and Tahoes. My Yukon Denali with the Duramax 3.0L is getting a combined...

I was prepared for my new Kubota RTV-X 3-cylinder diesel engine to be loud. I was pleasantly surprised that it is quieter than my 10-year-old Kawasaki 4010 gas motor. My 3 horses don't mind it at all. With the RTV-X it is much easier to do daily operation checks and maintenance such as...

Contact your local county extension agent. They will know what it is and how to take care of it.

I paid just under $2K 2 years ago for 4 Titan R4s for the TC40DA. That included mounting them.

For ease of entry Club Car would be my choice. Also easy to operate. I traded in a Mule 4010 on my Kubota RTV-X. I have to step up into both, use the roll cage to pull myself over the bar on the end of the seat, and then slide into the seat.

ZTRs normally have a faster blade speed. My Kubota ZD1211 60" has a blade tip speed of around 18,000 fpm. My NH 25S with a mid-mount mower has a blade tip speed of around 14,000 fpm. On my yard which is not manicured it isn't noticeable. If you are picky, it might make a difference.

Kubota does make nice units, gas and diesel, so they might be worth a look. Our UTV is strictly for utility work around the farm. Pulling the manure spreader, pasture vac, hauling stuff, etc. We just traded our Kawasaki 4010 Trans4X4 for a Kubota RTV-X diesel. The 4010 was a good utility...

GMC used the Avalanche platform for their EV truck. Doesn't look too bad. Not the same as a 1/2 ton chassis but functional as a truck.

You might consider an aftermarket FEL. Here is one example.

That sounds like the proper way to go, easier than a hydraulic spreader. A 2 jaw puller would make short work of it. I took this diagram off the Land Pride website. I used my Land Pride model number to look up the manual.

I would think heat and hydraulic spreaders are viable options. If you try a hydraulic spreader I would use 2, one on each side, so it will come straight off. Just using one will cause it to flex, bind, and possibly score the shaft. Don't be standing in front of it when it comes off. Use the...

I would think deciding on the battery system going forward is key to cordless tool purchases. Like you said, they get you on the batteries. I have the Dewalt 20V Max 3/8" ratchet. It is pretty spendy now at $200 for the tool only but I bought it on sale and have plenty of batteries. It does...

That's good, at least you have heavier axles and larger tires than their current offering. It sucks the other suspension parts were not up to the task. But once you get them replaced you should have a decent working trailer. Out of my 5 trailers the dump trailer gets the most use.

I think most trailer manufacturers spec the cheapest components that will carry the rated load, nothing more. I don't know what you were sold, but you might want to recheck the rated load capacity. The capacity I see on their website for the GT612 6'X12' dump is 6,000# load capacity. I don't...

I think when I move the PTO lever to off the overrunning clutch takes the pressure from the spinning implement off the PTO shaft which allows the internal PTO clutch to move to off.

First off, welcome to TBN. When I first got my 2019 NH Workmaster 75 and turned off the PTO, the PTO light would stay on. Same issue as your's, it would not restart. After I shut it off and let it cool off, I could move the PTO lever back and forth to get the light off for it to restart. NH...

I went Saturday to get a Covid shot as we have a trip planned to Las Vegas in April. I saw the Walgreen's brand A1C kit at the pharmacy was $49.99. It also had 2 test cartridges. I am waiting till 04/01/25 when I get my quarterly $40 on my United Healthcare card to get it.

My NH WM75 uses DOC/EGR technology. No DPF, no regens, and no routine maintenance. Others such as MF use the same technology. While is it possible to need some maintenance down the line, I doubt it will be in my lifetime at only 50 hours a year usage.

There is a home A1C test. Where you get your glucometer supplies should have them.

Congrats on your new grapple. W.R. Long makes quality grapples. I have 2, an OBG-2 grapple and a 10-bale hay grapple. They have held up well.

Here is the parts diagram from Messick's. It is under the left fender. Looks like a 2 wire plug so you could unplug it and jumper it pretty easy to test it. The start safety switches shut off fuel to the engine, the engine should crank but not start. Sometimes is a simple thing. PTO must be...

Ok, ok, it happened. That is a sharp looking tractor but I am partial to New Holland. Again, welcome to TBN.

Not true. You have to provide proof of insurance that meets their requirements. I financed a new RTV-X at 0% for 36 months today thru Kubota Credit. Texas Farm Bureau provided a binder and signed off on the coverage form. No KTAC insurance required.

I wasn't required to use KTAC insurance as TFB was able to meet their requirements. In my case the $300 cash discount works out to 1.9% of the purchase price. Going with 0% means that $300 worth of interest added to the purchase price. It is really a way for someone with less than perfect...

Welcome to TBN and congrats on your new Powerstar 110. Anything above 75 HP requires DEF. My 2019 NH Workmaster 75 uses DOC/EGR technology so no regens and no DEF. Best of both worlds. We also have a TBN rule, no pictures, it never happened. I would recommend you start a new thread in the...

That machine has excellent specs. It will do anything you want. My 3 Lenovo desktops and 2 Lenovo laptops all have an I7 processor with 16 gigs of RAM running Win 11 and Win 10, momma didn't want to switch. We do graphics using Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop for the stained-glass business...

Sometimes financing makes better financial sense over paying cash. I chose to finance my new Kubota RTV-X over the $300 cash discount. The current Kubota promotional rate is 0% is for 36 months. This year alone the $16,000 price difference after trade-in will earn $587 in my money market...

Beautiful country, I wish we had some trails around here. Last place close to us closed up a few years back. Trading in my 2015 Kawasaki Mule 4010 on a new Kubota RTV-X in sand color, momma didn't like the orange or camo. The Mule was the last gas-powered vehicle on the farm so that's a plus...

This should help Tesla, if they get their semi into production. The one Nikola truck for sale I looked at online was electric, 330 mile range, & 3 1/2 hour charge time at 175 kWh. Definitely would need the gas station model for long distance trips. Others for sale were hydrogen powered. EV...

Respiratory problems have never been an issue. The stables are not airtight. Today we just closed and fastened the aisle end doors. There are vents on the eaves and a vented cupola. Three of the stall dutch doors to the outside are still open. The 2 windows have been changed to dutch doors...

Cold weather is coming our way. Cleaned and bedded stalls before it hits. Raining on and off. Hopefully it stops before the temps drop below freezing. Will blanket the horses and close up the barn before long.

Texas Farm Bureau signed off on the form.

Both domestic demand and international demand are coming into play. The ban on exporting LNG has been lifted. Our royalty prices are shown in MCF, which is a thousand cubic feet. The M is the Roman numeral sign for a thousand.

ConEd in NY is planning on 13% increase in natural gas prices, 11.5% increase in electricity rates. Kathy Hochul does apparent about-face on natural gas as NYC utility signals major rate hikes

One of our oil/gas production companies stated that 4th quarter revenues were up due to a rise in natural gas prices. I saw today we sold natural gas for $2.08 in December 2024. Current price is almost double at $3.943 as of today. While it helps us on the production side it will certainly...

Check out this YouTube channel for Stefano Narducci, co-owner of Northern Snow. He has a fleet of around 40 of the L6060 with the Pronovost blowers in Canada doing residential snow blowing. He is a big fan of the L6060 and Pronovost blowers. He is phasing out the JD 4066R machines in favor of...

I have a Texas Farm Bureau AgAdvantage policy for the farm that covers all my equipment. I am buying a new Kubota RTV-X UTV for the farm. I want to take advantage of the 0% interest for 36 months instead of the $300 cash discount. Previous purchases using Kubota financing only required an...

Pretty chilly for us on Wednesday night.

Kubota is not coming off MSRP and has a price increase coming March 1. Working on a deal for a new Kubota RTV-X premium edition UTV. Checked with 3 Kubota dealers, none would come off MSRP. Finally got my local dealer to come off it $500. Traded in my 10 y/o Kawasaki Mule for a decent price...

June.

We stayed in Pagosa Springs for our honeymoon in June 1993. Temps were 80°F-90°F. Shorts and a tee-shirt weather. Decide to drive over Wolf Creek Pass. Was a raging snowstorm going on, several feet of snow on the ground, so we stopped to have a snowball fight. Driving up to the ski resorts...

The article was updated to say the contract, started by the previous administration, has been abandoned by the State Department.

Three different spots, all under roof. WM75 with the horse trailer and Mule, TC40DA on one side of the shop, and the 25S and ZTR on the other side.

Cooler here at 48°F and some drizzle. Heavier rain starting tonight through Wednesday evening. Forecast to go down to 29°F early Thursday morning. Hope the ground is dry by then so ice won't be an issue. Falling down is getting harder on me the older I get. :oops:

The NH T4 Electric tractor is a concept tractor that never went into production. Special Projects | New Holland

We went with Spectrum internet when they installed fiber down our county road. I have their landline option thru Charter Communications, which is VOIP I would assume. It is a separate jack on the modem. My fax machine works just fine.

Swapped my Big Tex 14GX GN scissor lift for a 14TD hydraulic ram bumper pull. Better lifting capacity and easier for the old man in me to hook up. Here I am dumping 6 yards of sandy loam. Even a tad overloaded at 12,000#, rated for 11,200#, it dumped just fine.

I am still waiting for the OP to explain what was the issue that caused the tractor to go in for repair. I have had my 2019 WM75 for 5 years now. Other than an issue with the PTO not disengaging, which has been corrected, it has been a great tractor. Nothing but routine maintenance. Does...

There goes the gas station model. The stock markets turned negative about the time the news was released. May have just been a coincidence. But Tesla folks in the know seem to be selling off stock...

Mine has the solid rear instead of chains. I don't notice any buildup. It cuts everything I need, which includes Bahai grass. If there is something larger than 2" it needs a chainsaw. Hitting it with a rotary cutter would be tough on any equipment.

Go with the medium duty cutter. I went from a Bush Hog SQ172 light duty to a Land Pride RCF2072 medium duty behind my NH WM75. It cuts much nicer and has less vibration.

GM did have a lottery system for their pre-production test vehicles. They ran 50 of each model and trim down the assembly line to train their people. Government agencies can get them, the only restriction is there is no title and they cannot be registered for the street. The Texas prison...

While I am all for lowering property taxes, swapping it for an income tax is not the way to go. We moved to Missouri for a while back in 2002. Everyone talked about the lower property tax rates. Except they forgot to mention they taxed you on your real property and personal property as well...

Our ETFs have a high % in Information Tech so we lost some as well. Have made it up as of today. Crude oil is down so that hurts as well with oil stocks and royalties. But we are staying the course as we don't have to cash out or draw from these funds. Higher price for natural gas is making...

It's a toggle switch. Push it to the outside to switch to rabbit mode, lights should switch to the active side. Pull it towards you to go back to turtle mode. Top pushbutton is rabbit, bottom pushbutton is turtle. Lights on the fender switch will change with the joystick pushbuttons.

Sent you a private message.

The Operator Manual states that after selecting either low or high range, the Turtle button operates at or below normal speed, the Rabbit button operates at or above normal speed. Basically makes it a four range transmission so you have better pedal response. I operate in Low range and toggle...

Rain all day for us. Heavy rain now.

Yes. Our phones are set to do Wi-Fi calling. I have a D-Link mesh Wi-Fi system for each location.

Sounds like a deal. Mine has the 16LA loader. The 250TL is the model that replaced it in 2006. And remember the TBN rules, no pictures - it never happened. :D

Spectrum laid fiber down our rural county road last year. Once I received notice it was available and called, it was installed the next day. I have 2 separate lines, one for the house and one for the shop, both 700' from the street. Fiber all the way to the modems. I have 400 Mbps to the...

Keep it simple. His last name and Custom Lumber. Identifies him and his product.

Looks like the markets will have a bad day today.

Cook Oil in Fort Worth bought our used oil, refined it, and marketed it cheaper than new oil when I was younger. Mostly 30W. It has since gone out of business. We sold it at our gas stations. People that had vehicles burning oil used it, as well as for lawnmowers. Never heard any bad things...

NH changed their website to list it as a "concept vehicle". I guess they figured out that neither the gas station model nor home charging was practical.

My 2024 GMC 3500HD Denali specs 75 PSI front/70 PSI rear. It rides OK until you hit a bump like where the bridge and road meet. If unloaded it bounces pretty hard, loaded not so bad. But I bought it to tow with, not for the ride. For that I got the 2024 Yukon Denali. That is a smooth ride...

Not 6 figures. You should get one.

I have Onstar on all 3 vehicles. Three years of coverage is included in the price of new GMC vehicles. Have used towing once when I broke down in Tyler. They tow to the nearest GM dealer for free. I paid a little extra to get it to my GMC dealer here in Athens. My wife used it when she had...

Westland Equipment

This is from the TC repair manual.

Sometimes payments make sense. We were offered 1.9% over 36 months plus $1,000 cash back through GM Financial when we bought the wife's new Cadillac XT6. At that time our Cash Management account was drawing 5.02% so we took the financing instead of pulling out cash from savings. Now that...

My wife retired 7 months before she was eligible for Medicare. We did COBRA thru her old employer for those 7 months. Was actually the same price as her Medicare premium. Only because we pay the Medicare penalty for having too much income.

We do both. Some of our Merrill Lynch accounts can only be accessed thru an advisor, not self management. He also provides easy to read prospectus sheets on our ETFs. The minimal fees we pay are well worth it. Most individual stocks I handle myself.

Looks like an online broker going out of business. Good luck getting the 30-day money back guarantee or 6-month warranty honored.
