    How to see signature?

    I'm also over at OTT which uses the same forum software as here, and they have a listing of equipment right under your user name ... In my opinion a "signature" should be at the bottom, but I can't see anything, never have since I signed up ...

    How to see signature?

    I'm having trouble seeing signatures on posts, I'm guessing that is where people have there equipment listed? This what I have in my signature, can anybody see it when I post? I have the box selected in my settings ... This what I see on my Android phone ...

    Hydraulic Fluid for Kubota L5030(2005)

    HST version takes 12 gallons ... Every 400 hours ... About $150 for a 5 gallon bucket of the SUDT2 ... Front axle will use the other 2.5 gallons. (If you have 4X4) I bought the SUDT2! ETA - the manual calls for either UDT or the SUDT2 which is a synthetic blend ... If you wanted to save a few...

    Wanting to "cut" a slot in the ground

    OP wants to INSTALL edging, presume either plastic or metal ... Cut a slice in the ground, drop edging in, tamp down/close the cut soil on the edging ... The plow coulter mentioned in post #8 could work, or even an old lawn mower blade or piece of 1/8" X 2"-3" flat stock that is heated to give...

    Any Fig Fanatics?

    I've read that if you pile leaves you raked up around them, then wrap burlap around to hold the leaves as insulation that they will over winter better? This will be my 1st year ...but was under the impression that the Chicago variety would not need the winter protection ... ? I live in zone 6B...

    Red Dyed Diesel

    I use the Red ORD, only thing it does different than on road is turn your filters pink! I buy from the local farm co-op where all the farmers buy from, or get delivered from ... Without looking it up, it's about 30 cents a gallon cheaper than the on road they also sell ... No permit needed in...

    Tire Sealant for Slow Leak

    Here is the sealer that works in liquid ballast filled tires ... HYDRO 1500 ™ 5 Gallon | MULTI SEAL But first, I'd get a spray bottle of soapy water and see where it's leaking, or drive it into a deep puddle of water to narrow it down first ... Tread puncture? Rim compromise/damage? Valve stem?

    Bigger tires on a BX23S

    Looks good, I image the larger fronts were easier to mount than the stock size, even though they were 6 ply, compared to 4 ply. I run stock size on my SCUT, but went to 8 ply on the front, but only run 10 psi in the rears for comfort (if you can call it that!) Have you measured the difference...

    Tire Sealant for Slow Leak

    Correct, but neither will most other "sealers" there is a sealer that does, but I don't remember which it is ... OP didn't state they have loaded tires...

    Tire Sealant for Slow Leak

    My tire dealer put this stuff in my front tires ... Tireseal It doesn't seem to go bad/old, and looks kinda like liquid bubble gum!

    [emoji637] ton Ram-single vs dual wheel?

    It's just a different way to get money ... On my 11 acres of vacant land I paid $16 last year in property tax!

    Am I now a Kubota team member?

    [emoji637] ton Ram-single vs dual wheel?

    Other! :mad: They switched over to these rotten PACCAR TX-12 which is a 12 speed automatic, I hate it, but most companies have gone to them, and I only have 30 months until I retire, so I'm trying to put up with it ... As I'm too old to start a new career for just a couple of years.

    [emoji637] ton Ram-single vs dual wheel?

    That's mostly sleet with a tad bit of freezing rain ... In the three winters I've lived in Missouri I've only cleared my driveway once! Partly because I'm gone so much, its melted in a few days before I get home! This better? Laredo, TX 100°+ and HUMID! 🥵

    [emoji637] ton Ram-single vs dual wheel?

    This is what I normally drive, plus a 53' tail behind it ... Parking any "pickup' srw/drw short/long bed is a breeze! Only reason I'd not keep a free new truck is in Missouri is taxes! Sales tax to register, plus we have "personal property tax" which is a tax on the value of your personal...
