    my EV crystal ball was right, again

    Seems like they should be retooling to put in Cummins fuel agnostic engines or building something similar. ;)

    L3800 l3901 l2502

    I have a L2501. I would have bought a L3800 or L3400 if that would have been an option. I would buy an MX if I had to buy a DPF tractor. Do you have to pay sales tax on the used one? If not, that makes the L3800 an even better deal.

    I think I've made my retirement decision....

    There are probably some, but few people think they retired too early. The more common case is retiring too late. YMMV.

    Bucket chain hook placement

    I'd buy a third one or d ring, and put it in the middle.

    $16K repair bill

    I don't think the fuel system is that complicated. I guess I'd look for a different shop if you can't do what GreensvilleJay said yourself.

    L series side panels

    I'm not sure the pictures show how it really is, but I'd consider taking the other side to a fab shop to see if they can make one for a reasonable price that is close and buy a can of spray paint.

    Spring Tooth Rake Showed Up Scratched

    I can't think of any way that would work for me for anything. What are you planning on doing with it? Raking limbs?

    Owwwww...

    We are about $3.50 or so for off road diesel. It has been creeping up again though.

    Warm up time in Winter vs. Summer

    I usually run mine even in Summer for a bit. I don't use a watch. For the most part, if it runs smoothly, I think I'm pretty good. Fwiw, when it was really cold, and I needed to use it, it vibrated quite a lot until it warmed up. However, I don't immediately work it as hard as it can go. In...

    Electric vehicles will be cheaper to produce than gas cars by 2027: report

    Mostly, they do work although at some point you have to replace the batteries. A Ranger owner posted a question about replacements the other day. If you go that route, it might worth checking on the cost to replace the batteries.

    My comment was just about you describing him talking about the range which sounds limited but good enough for him.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Yesterday, welded the front blade support for my grader scraper. Today, took the chains off. I can put them on if needed, but we probably won't get so much snow that the Ranger can't handle it. Also today, used the grader/scraper for 4 hours on the community road. A lot of on/off the...

    Electric vehicles will be cheaper to produce than gas cars by 2027: report

    People change. ;). Maybe it was his wife's idea, but in any case, even he has to make excuses for it. That doesn't sound like the type of vehicle everyone should be forced to buy. But, hey, I'm fine with anyone buying whatever they want to buy. Back to old muscle cars, in my experience most...

    Electric vehicles will be cheaper to produce than gas cars by 2027: report

    Actually, some are making policy changes to strongly encourage that everyone needs to buy an EV by giving them an extra subsidy via tax break, and the industry subsidies. EVs increase your electricity cost since you have to charge it, and at the point that there isn’t enough power available...

    Giving Up On OTT

    Every site is programmed differently, and different browsers react differently as well. Fwiw, Safari is slower, but still works with my VPN off. You don't have to change browsers. Ad block is available for any common one, but different ones for different browsers. However, most will also...

    Giving Up On OTT

    I use a VPN that blocks ad sites. It also works as an ad blocker. As others said, if you tell us what browser you are using, we can probably help.

    yup, EVs are soooo great...

    I find it funny that some think pointing out obvious issues with EVs makes the person saying it nontechnical or afraid of technology. I think people would be surprised to find out what the technical backgrounds are of the people making the points on these "hobby" forums. There are some of...

    5 Acres: LX2620 vs LX3520

    I would go with the LX2620 because it doesn't have a DPF and has "enough" HP. If you decide to go DPF because you want more HP, I'd go with something larger than the LX. The LX is a light tractor. I can't imagine that many implements that need more HP that wouldn't overpower the LX. The...
