    Is it common to completely fill a tire with ballast?

    The brown may mean that he has a different kind of ballast in there like Beet Juice.

    L2501, 2017, adding BH77 backhoe

    Drive the tractor onto the trailer, not back it on. That will give you more weight on the trailer axles.

    Easier drain for water separator on a B2601

    If you have water in your storage tank and it is getting into the tractor, then shorten up the feed pipe to the pump in the tank to get it out of the water. Water in the tank should all be on the bottom unless it gets stirred up.

    What’s your rain count?

    We have had 26.91” of rain and snow melt since January 1 of this year. This is according to my Davis electronic rain gauge that keeps records.

    Trailer tire rant/advice

    Did your trailer have “China Bombs” on it? Most trailers and RVs come with the cheapest, junk tires on them that the manufacturer can buy. Put on a good quality name brand tire. If you need help finding a good brand, go onto RV forums because there is a lot of good information on there.

    Easier drain for water separator on a B2601

    Buy yourself 1-2 of these and drop into your storage tank. If you are getting water in the tank, check the fittings at the top of the tank very closely to make sure that they are still sealed up.

    L2501 HST Treadle Adjustment

    How is your Reverse speed? Has that changed? A lot of times if the speed changes on the pedal in forward by slowing down because the pedal isn’t moving enough anymore, then reverse speed will increase.

    5.7 Hemi owners?

    I have a 2013 Ram 1500 5.7L with 85,000 that my daughter now drives. I now drive a 2019 Ram 2400 6.4L with 55,000 miles. The 5.7L has a faint tick when first started but goes away. Nothing worrisome. Use good quality engine oil in it and that helps. The Eco mode cylinder deactivation is really...

    Second-guessing my L4060 LE purchase

    Keep your tractor and go buy something appropriate for land clearing. Doesn’t need to be new. Bulldozers work great for leveling, pushing piles of debris, can take out stumps, dig out boulders and so on. Older, used ones can be found very reasonably priced. Excavators work well for digging out...

    L6070: L6832 CCV Kit?

    Not sure why you need window defoggers in Texas. Have run cabbed tractors in cold New England weather for 40 years and never had an occasion that I needed defogger glass for a tractor or industrial loader glass.

    Tire repair with what you have

    Was a very common Farmer repair especially in the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s. Was a successful method of fixing a problem fast and for low cost. Nowadays, in our throwaway society, people are too scared to try do that.
