    GM recalls 721K trucks with 6.2L engine

    My SIL just purchased a 2025 GMC AT4 with the 6.2 V8(I told him about the problems) because his 2020 5.3 failed! Supposed to be fixed with the 2025,I hope so. I used to trade every two years,not any more.

    Signing Monday - Final sanity check on MX5400, 3rd function, tires, and grapple

    Congrats on the new tractor;the one question I would ask if the third function was a "true" third function and not a diverter type.

    Need utility Side by Side

    Polaris used(may still) Fuji motors in most of their ATV's. I am for purchasing USA built but difficult for most things. Most are assembled in the States from parts sourced from all over the world;this includes cars and trucks also.

    Looking at a L5740 with 2000 hrs.

    I have loaded R1 and a cab and the 854 loader will lift back tires(with 500-600lbs on the three point). On the HST leak,warm it up and put a piece of carboard under;mine didn;t leak when cold.It looks like a pipe plug with a loose pin in center.

    Deciding between MX5400HSTC cab vs MX6000 HSTC cab - $1800 difference in cost

    I would go the larger HP in the same machine.The MX's have a three speed hydro unlike the Grand L's 6 speed.Larger tires I think than the Grand's.

    Food plot

    A friend moved to Northern Vermont(Hyde Park) and is(was) a deer hunter;noted how few deer Vermont has;at least compared to Northern NY. A small plot wouldn't last here.In your case I would do the biggest area you can with some type of clover.Clover is expensive but good for 4-5 years. We...
