The chart is helpful, thanks!

You’re looking at the wrong polyurea. Look one line lower. Shear stable (Kubota and John Deere are) actually is comparable with more different grease than anything else. Another reason I use them.

I use polyurea on everything: mower, loader, backhoe, etc. I’ve got other brands, too, but my go-to is the John Deere, since I have a JD dealer local. This stuff used to be around $4 a tube. The last case (ten tubes) I bought was $55, after tax. Now, I see it’s even higher.

Very few US companies make the hooks. Laclede is a US chain manufacturer. I contacted them to get some more hooks (bought longer chain and cut it) and the reply was that all of their hooks are imported. The chain links are made in US. Columbus McKinnon is one of the very few US manufacturers of...

I had a friend weld two on my BX bucket. They are in line with the lift arms, since the bucket is so thin. You can see how we dealt with the lip. They have been great and useful.

Get the big stuff out. When the weather is right, burn the pasture. This will remove the small combustible stuff, by fire, and will expose all the other crap. Then, choose the best tool, for what you see. Good on you, for cleaning it up.

Incorrect. When there has been any option on the shelf, it’s usually a Shell product. At least, in my area. No Delo, at all. Very seldom seeing Mobil diesel. She’ll is hit or miss, but I’ve seen it more than the others.

Most common oils and filters are hit or miss, around here. I ended up ordering three Motorcraft 820S filters, because I haven’t seen one on the shelf in a few months. 5w-30 Mobil1 is hit or miss and over $5 higher, for a jug, when they do have it. I‘ve been looking for diesel oil, for a couple...

We are at a time where you need to look a year out at what you need and buy it, now.

Side note: Very few people who drive a 3/4 ton diesel “need” it. A lot never do anything truck related.

As far as trailer costs, the ones I’ve been watching have come down, from their peak. Still high, but going the right direction. In 2018, I paid $8,500, for my well-optioned Diamond C 24 LPD. I ordered it and waited a little over two months to get it. Tokay, the same trailer has an MSRP of...

Not excusing or justifying stupid behavior. Just sharing that it is a method of payment calculation.

A lot of them are paid by the load or more commonly, by the ton…..

Here’s a link to the manual: https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/threads/kioti-ck2610-3510-4010-manual-pdf-download.388027/ Relevant pages: The engine for the HST is the same as the manual, so 6.0L of whichever weight you think is best. In Kansas, I use 10W-30 synthetic blend, in my...

Let us know how big the difference is, at load capacity, when you get a chance. This is uncharted territory, from what I’ve seen.
