    Diesels too, I loved the dirt every day where they bump the compression on a whooped 6.2/6.5 by just pouring ATF in the intake

    Those are fun to drive but traction sucks. Makes quick work in open spaces

    I'd make the hydraulic hose guy VERY happy if I bought that.

    You have to live in Michigan or Ohio............I just LOVED the snow overnight, NOT!

    Snowed here last night too. Just enough for a coating, and to freeze on my windshield.

    Cold enough here this morning the air compressor was froze at work. It sits on our dock, we have a cover over it in the winter but the boiler inspector came a few weeks ago and I had to take the cover off so he could get to the pop off valve.

    What a change of events.
    Went to my JD dealer last week to grab a new saw and asked about mowers. Had a 530M on the lot with a 54” but could order a 60”. No idea on lead time but it’s saving me almost 2k. Cancel the Kubota and agree verbally on the 530. called today for an update and the salesman is lazy IMO as maybe the deck was ordered, they don’t call around to other dealers and no idea when it’s coming.....
    I take it upon myself to call other UAT dealers for what’s on the lot. Dealer the same distance north doesn’t have a 530M but does have a 530R which is more than I need or want to spend but it’s there with a 60” deck. Quote in progress.
    Over the past 2 weeks I’ve sold a tractor, sort of settled on 2 which I cancelled and getting a 3rd.

    Good fuel and good oil, and WINTERIZE !
    I’ve had zero issues starting my Stihl products season after season, for winter storage I make sure the last tank is the TruFuel and run it well so I know it’s got a good dose, top it off and hang it. Starts every spring, no issues, my daughter has no issues starting them either. Thru the season I’ll mix my own fuel with ethanol free gas.
    I pour some of the TruFuel in my generators when I’m getting ready to shut down, let it run for a few minutes.
    Never had any issues starting, might take a few pills but they start and run well every time.

    not perfect but for as rough as this yard is it’s better than most.

    Yard is nothing but weeds. That’s the best grass I have. Now if I can convince my neighbor to cut his.

    Nothing to it. Mow with it one time and you will have the hang of it.

    Get really hammered and then go out, hop on it, and drive like you were doing donuts in a parking lot. You'll get the hang of it in no time.

    DeWalt seems to have used/borrowed ancient design for the head.
