    How long should things last?

    We do forget how long we have stuff and are surprised when they quit. But some thing seem to cost a lot compared to the warranty period. Home furnace/ac - HVAC comes to mind. Two years ago my system quit. The replacement system estimate was $12,500. Warrenty was 10 years. That means a...

    Worst oil change ever

    Caver - I had a 2019 ram truck - filter removal was difficult and always a mess. I read here someone recommended using a ziplock bag. Break the filter loose- slide bag over it and unscrew the filter. All the oil went into the bag (most anyway). Best Wishes, Larry

    Women

    OP Sorry to tell you, but that is with every marriage. Every person is different and it does take time to know what is really important and agreeable to each other. But, I think it is important to make rules together so you don't step on each others toes. Also, do most things together. I have...

    Good morning!!!!

    Looks cooler today. We have started walking the dog in the morning rather than evening because of the heat.

    Good morning!!!!

    This picture (The first one) belongs on the wall. A little snow and it would be a great Christmas Picture. Then, the next year, put the family in it for another great Christmas Picture. Very Nice

    Where TF does Ford and RAM list all their equipment packages for their trucks?

    It is sometimes difficult to find what they are and what they include. I think there is a reason they change the packages every year. That said, I think it is best to look at what features are available.....and what you want (what is a deal breaker if it doesn't have it) and only discuss price...

    Parents with dementia, how dealing with that has gone.

    That is a tough time. Hope it gets better. When my mom passed away, we had a sale and sold what we could, then called a used furniture dealer and sold most everything to them, then dumpster. Save what you want of pictures and memories. You may look for them years to come if you don't. My dad...

    Good morning!!!!

    Good morning. Cooler weather here is a welcome change. It has been about 3 months since I lost my dog. I think about her and still look for her to be by my side. I have a scheduled trip to pick up a new puppy this week. We will see how that goes. I guess "moving on" are the words that come...

    Comparison Buying my first sub compact tractor need help deciding.

    Might also be aware if there is a early payoff penalty. I financed with Kubota 5 yrs no interest, but if you paid before the 60 months, they cancel your KTAC insurance and refund the unused premium. Then you could insure with their after- paid KTAC insurance. There was nothing wrong with...

    Nearly died yesterday

    Makes you wonder if the other driver was aware of what happened ---or even cared.. Someone was taking of you. Good job.

    Comparison Buying my first sub compact tractor need help deciding.

    Welcome to TBN - great place to get a lot of help and information. Most tractors are very good but be sure to buy from a dealer you can trust. Most tractors are only as good as the dealer who supports them.

    Really, really dumb question about difference between off road and on road diesel fuel.

    I'm with Ortimber -- only difference is color and cost. I would be more concerned about whether your tractor can burn biodiesel. Kubota says don't ever burn bio. And if I used farm fuel, it would only be from a place (farming community) where they sold a high volume. I sure want to avoid...

    Why so much tongue weight on 22' car hauler trailers?

    if you are pulling with a 1/2 ton truck you may need to use a weight distribution hitch. That can help a lot if your truck is not level. I WOULD NEVER want to buy a heavy trailer with axles in the center. It is important that the trailer trail well BOTH empty and loaded. This is my 20' tilt...
