oh, sorry it wasn't simple

I thought I had an oil leak, and it was the dipstick rubber plug not sitting in the dipstick tube all the way. Oil splatters out after a little operation and gets on the bottom of the engine, and starts dripping. I would check that first. -Andrew

Ah, yes, it is 29°48' North, Baja California, Mexico. Average annual high: 93º, average low: 57º. I am very often operating in 95º–100º+ weather. I did not know that. Thank you. I am new to diesels. So something like Mobil Delvac Extreme Motor Oil 15W40 Heavy Duty Diesel I suppose. -Andrew

Overthinking I am sure, but, I have used Mobile1 In my cars for years. Is there any reason why 15-40 Mobile1 would not be a good choice for a hot climate in which I operate my TX25H? Thanks in advance, -Andrew

Nice Job with the bending

40-ish Hour Review Part Three (continued from above) Attachments Living in Southern California in the Los Angeles area (and part-time in Mexico where the tractor is located), there are not a lot of tractor or implement dealers. Buying online and shipping from the Midwest or Eastern U.S. is...

40-ish Hour Review Part Two (continued from above) Loader: Lifting capacity was something I was looking to maximize when originally shopping for a tractor. While the Summit outperforms the equivalent John Deere and Kubotas, I looked into the Badboy 4025 and the Kioti 2026 because their lift...

40-ish Hour Review Part One TLDR: Some minor issues, but overall a very positive experience, especially with customer support. The tractor performs well, is appropriately powered, and is quite capable. I am coming up on the 50-hour service with about 42 hours on the clock. I decided to post a...

Roy, when you lost air pressure due to turning the front wheels what type of surface were you on?

I am operating 90% of the time in soft beach sand. I have the fronts at 20 psi and the rears a little over 20 psi. They were around 40 psi when the tractor was delivered. The traction is better now, but not great. I am learning the advantages of moving very slowly in deep sand... I want to get...

After looking at a lot of specs on hydraulic fluids, the Delvac looks like a good choice/match based on the limited info in the manual. I was watching this the other day, which gives a lot of info. I still would like to know if Summit has a preferred fluid.

I see Summit recommends a VG 32 or VG 56 hydraulic oil in the owner's manual. I will be using VG 56 because of the warm climate. Does Summit recommend a particular brand or brands, or certain additives? Thank you -Andrew

OOh, good to know. Ill scratch that idea then.

I assume the rears have a 5x4.5 lug pattern as well. Is the rear the same hub opening? I have just ordered a TX25 to be delivered next month and I would like to order/add spacers to the rear.
