    LX2610 vs. L2502 + Pricing

    The RCR 20 series is he same as the RCR 18s except they have the smooth top. The smooth top looks better (personal taste), and it is easier to keep clean (less chaff collects on top). The RCR 20 is more expensive. I have an RCR 1860 too, and it is a rugged mower (well, medium duty). I would...

    I'm an idiot and lost my keys. Now what?

    Well, there you have it. You cannot cut an Airstream rv key without a quality blank, and there are some low quality blanks out there. I do not see how this differs from what I posted. You said you had to buy a key from Airstream, which is not the case. Since Airstream does not make the lock or...

    I'm an idiot and lost my keys. Now what?

    No, the statement is correct in its entirety. RVs typically have very non-specific keys for very rudimentary disc locks. There are often exceptions to any rule. I have no experience with Airstreams, but the Airstream website does not indicate that they use some type of proprietary or...

    Looks like the same key at Coleman https://www.colemanequip.com/parts/details/KubotaParts/Kubota-Keys--Set-of-2-/35260-31852/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&keyword=&campaign=Shopping&gclid=Cj0KCQjwx5qoBhDyARIsAPbMagBK0bYIEwFoPSuN5vT35SK6lcLCFYcU8fPUN4SzbS00k96ZY2vhE94aAhprEALw_wcB

    I'm an idiot and lost my keys. Now what?

    Like RV keys, you just need to buy the key for your series and maybe year range.

    What insurance source for privately owned 2021 Kubota M62 TLB.... in Virginia?

    I wish you good luck. It may also depend on state law or more likely who does the actual underwriting for USAA. It is my understanding that USAA sometimes/often uses other companies depending on location and the type of insurance.

    What insurance source for privately owned 2021 Kubota M62 TLB.... in Virginia?

    If the owner has homeowners insurance at his residence (different place from the equipment location), it is possible to add the equipment location, structures there (the container) and equipment as an endorsement on his residential property. We did this with Cincinnati Insurance. Home policy...

    Avert your eyes..............

    Looks great - no matter the color. Out of curiosity, did you chemically treat the metal with an anti-rust solution (something with phosphoric acid in it) after sandblasting?

    How government Works

    I am sure, like me, you chose service over compensation. After law school, I went to federal law enforcement over the military; I did not want to spend my life training with no deployment in the military - a substantial possibility.

    How government Works

    My point was that government employees cost significantly more than their salaries. Can you make more in the private sector - yes. Do you have the security of a government job - no. Many corporate employees get laid off/fired, and their stock options are worthless (bankruptcy usually voids all...

    How government Works

    Well, relatively few private sector jobs include a pension/defined benefits as part of their retirement package. The value of a pension can be quite high. Price out an annuity for life with 1/2 spousal survivorship with inflation indexing.

    How government Works

    Just to further confuse the issue, you also have to differentiate between salary and total compensation. The total compensation number includes the following government payments/costs: matching retirement contributions, social security tax contributions, healthcare plan costs, accruing defined...

    How government Works

    I retired from the federal government after 30 years. Fauci's salary was paid under one of several special schedules that exists for employees with special skills/expertise.

    How government Works

    Actually, Fauci made more than the president (both in salary and pension). https://www.openthebooks.com/substack-dr-faucis-retirement-pension-414667-will-exceed-president-joe-bidens-salary-400000/

    Which model would you choose?

    Comparing capabilities is often much more difficult than looking at spec sheets. As an example, the L2501 has slightly more lift and height loader capacity than an LX 2610, but this may not translate into more work. If the task is moving/spreading gravel on your driveway, both will take the...

    Which model would you choose?

    Based on your post, you might want to look at the LX 2610SU. It has most of the LX comfort features, but it lacks: cruise control (can be added), the better seat (can be added), tilt steering wheel and Mid- PTO. However, it has a significantly lower price, and it comes standard with the larger...
