    Cargo roof rack

    I bolted an atv rack to my rops. It's just the right width. I don't usually carry much up there, but I don't notice the weight. My rear tires are loaded and I always have a rear implement and loader on.

    I would like you to change the subject to something more specific. ;). How about? Happy Thanksgiving Canadians!

    Buy a Kubota filter, and Rotella or Kubota oil and change it.

    Septic drain field repair and install

    I wouldn't do it. Even in my area, septic systems are highly regulated. Fwiw, that's the only thing that requires inspections. I'm not an expert, but a lot of it can go wrong. YMMV.

    anyone can purchase tax-free red-dyed diesel for any reason

    It's readily available in my area. But, I don't drive my truck much in Winter. I already use Red diesel for my tractor. It's not going to help if you are in an area that doesn't have it. It seems like it would have been better to reduce the tax on the other diesel types. I don't know if...

    Hydraulics are fixed, NEW problem, engine won't shut off.

    No idea, but maybe you can use a blower to try to get rid of any left over water and then run it a bit to let it dry.

    New BX changes and an L loader change

    I think it's cool that they added a new loader and some corresponding changes to make the regular L lift a lot more weight. It's at the end of the video. They also have lots of BX changes coming as well.

    L2501 more HP

    Thickness of grass and other vegetation makes a huge difference. Of course, most of us can see that mowing our own grass with a typical mower. Fwiw, I can mow my field with my 72 inch rotary cutter in M at 4200 ft elevation with my L2501HST with no issues. It's dryland here and not very...

    Classic Truck Headliner, Opinions Please

    I’d probably go factory look or leather, and maybe ask at a forum that is for your year truck for help on material or replacement.

    Are you mowing in L, M, or H?

    L2501 more HP

    It’s not bigger. They have exactly the same loader. Common rail and DPF isn’t an advantage for many of us. I’d go with a larger tractor and the 3901 isn’t if I traded. At the point, you go DPF there are a lot of choices.

    L2501 more HP

    I don’t think the trade would work that way. You’d also get a DPF and zero increase in lift capacity, same frame, same features with probably zero warranty.

    What kind of bush hog do you have and what width is it? How low are you trying to cut?

    L2501 more HP

    By now, I think the turbo is fairly reliable and adds quite a bit of HP. At least, people don't seem to complain about it here. I have to say I haven't looked that much. In comparison, the shim is a minor improvement.
