    Buying a ZTR, what should I look for, or avoid?

    The Ferris deck follows the wheels up and down.

    It's great having a couple cats to help out in the garage! :)

    Buying a ZTR, what should I look for, or avoid?

    I have essentially a 6 year old version of this mower under the Ferris name. 25 hp Kawasaki commercial motor, ZT4400 hydros, fast, good ride, very smooth operation, easy to use, and it really cuts nice. After 2 years one of the fuel gauge needles became stuck and the dealer sent me a new one at...

    Ford aluminum body vs Ram steel - can the Ram do as well?

    I pay attention to other vehicles when driving and I notice most pick ups exhibiting rust around here are Rams.

    New 2025 B2601 vs used B2601

    It has SSQA ends on the loader which enables you to easily swap front loader attachments. The loader itself appears to be bolted on so it can't be (easily) removed. No big deal IMO.

    New Toyota Tundra’s Recalled for Spun Crank Bearing

    Maybe we could see the return of gasoline engine tractors.

    Who rides motorcycles?

    I find most large adventure bikes make for an excellent solo long distance tourer. But like you say adding a passenger's weight up high can make them difficult to maneuver at low speed. I now have a Goldwing and find it to be very easy to handle with a passenger due to the low COG and having...

    Clearing a Path

    I like the large trees and old building you have there! I have 2 large oaks just like that on the property. They are not beside where the original house, spring house, and out buildings were, but in what is now woods just across the dirt road. My guess is the area was cleared many years back...

    Who still drives a stick in 2025?

    Toyota didn't put manuals in their (V8) Tundras, the only manuals offered were in the T100 and first gen Tundra (V6 only). I owned a 1997 T100 and 2004 Tundra with manual transmissions, access cabs, and 4x4.

    Who still drives a stick in 2025?

    I have to think there would be enough sales between GM, Ford, or Dodge, for at least one of them to offer a manual in their traditional 1/2 and 3/4 ton trucks. Am I right that currently there's Jeep's Gladiator and Tacoma (but only short bed crew cab) available with a manual? I'd buy a manual...

    Who still drives a stick in 2025?

    Thanks, they are fun in fact I had a 1999 Miata and sold it because, for me, it wasn't that good as a daily driver. Ingress and egress was a little difficult then LOL and now 26 years later probably more so. It had limited room inside and a very small trunk, it was geared tight so spinning...

    Yep 7-speed dual clutch, automatic mode or paddle shift.

    Who still drives a stick in 2025?

    I should update my list to include Nissan Versa as the base model is available with a manual. Camaro is not made anymore and Mustang manual is only available in the $50K GT which is a little more than I want to spend. I drove a Subaru WRX a few years ago and felt it was a little too noisy and...
