Of course they won’t do that because it could actually work to reduce costs for on road diesel end users and heavily reduce tax revenue. Allowing use of off-road diesel on road sounds great to people who know nothing about the end user logistics of procuring off-road diesel (most people)...

@MtnViewRanch is a member here who seems to get universally positive reviews on his kits, but I have no direct experience. I have a dealer installed top/tilt. Could have saved some money going a different route, but it’s too useful to have any regrets. If you do much blade work, highly recommend.

As others have said, power down to avoid corkscrewing. Do not float. As the loader arms come down in an arc, they move the auger head forward. The only way to correct that is by moving the tractor backward. You have to move backward incrementally as the boom moves down. Adjusting curl is...

It’s a Praying Mantis. Most are green, at least they are here. But they can also be brown. They can change color when they molt, which allows them to blend with their primary environment whether that’s green or brown. I don’t recall ever seeing more than a handful of brown ones. The whiskers on...

You may have already tried this, but sending an inquiry via the support link on Hydra-Tek’s website might get you an answer. 🤷‍♂️

I’ve run a 5’ bush hog behind a 9N Ford that’s comparable in PTO HP to your L2501. It’s sort of OK so long as whatever you’re mowing isn’t very thick. For grass or forbs thick as the hair on a cat’s back that’s mowed a couple times a year or less, there just isn’t enough HP on the PTO to get it...

You can get it cheaper as a carpenter rule, but then you don’t get the “odor blocking case”. $20 for the ruler. $10 for the case. 😂 I still have oil heat at all three houses. Never considered using one of my folding rulers to check the tanks.

Looking at the picture of the operator station, it appears to have only three pedals: forward and reverse on the right, plus a single pedal on the left which I’m assuming is a brake rather than a foot operated manual clutch. The electric over hydraulic push button clutch on the PTO allows...

Interesting that they abandoned the treadle pedal in favor of side by side HST pedals.

A few recents… Pickerel frog. First one I’ve ever seen here.Young gray squirrel. Had to chase him out of our garage with a leaf blower. Then he froze on a nearby tree for a bit before leaving. Turkeys hanging out on the pond dam.
