I baited all of you into a conversation, where I wanted your opinion without bias... Now here is my situation, and if I would have started with this... bias would have run wild. I just purchased a mini-excavator..... yep, of the Chinese variety. Yep, at the $5,000 amount or so. It did not...

All good answers..... Thank you. ......

I am taking the equipment up to the property this afternoon and will fire it up and see how she does. I will report back...... .......

Pick your farm equipment, any equipment and answer this question.... Why is a filter necessary for a hydraulic system? Say a guy has a front end loader on his tractor and there are only four hydraulic cylinders. The fluid runs from the tank to the pump to the controls to the cylinders and...

Here's my two cents... EV's are the biggest scam on the planet. That being said, I wish every car in LA, NY, Chicago.. etc, should only be an EV. The air pollution there is horrific. Besides big cities, EV's are a complete joke. In the western US, you don't have to look far for a full-on...

Thanks.. I will give them a ring.

Let's start with my 6hp Honda on my push lawnmower. That engine is tight and solid. I change the oil in it annually. The first two years I used RT6 5w40 in it and I would have to top it off as Fall rolled around. The next year I changed to RT4 15w40 and it was still full as winter fell upon...

I have searched the web quiet a bit and haven't found the info I am looking for.... I have a new piece of equipment that is powered by the B&S 13.5hp 420cc engine. The thing is.... my property is at 7,800 feet elevation. I am pretty certain B&S jets these engines for sea-level or may a...

In my personal experience over the last 10 years or so, I'm just not happy with T6 5w40 in any of my small engines or motorcycles. It's consumed faster and it shears faster than the 15w40's and noticeably less smoother running. It is a darn fine oil and I use it in my Ram EcoDiesel, but no...

Wow... I stirred the synthetic hornets nest. I'm just saying, I spent a lot of money the past couple of decades on expensive synthetic and I don't think it was necessary. Even going so far to say that convention is better is some applications. Another thing that impacted me recently was the...

Ok.. been on here for a while... I have tried nearly every dang oil a man can buy.... For a decade I was on the synthetic train. Then a combination of motorcycles and gears and a couple of 4 and 6 bangers...... convinced me that I needed to depart the synthetic cult. My motorcycles run...

Nobody wants single cab pickups.. and nobody, at all, wants a manual transmission. I would have to opted for a garage queen from an old grandpaw.... a Single Cab Ford, Dodge or Chevy for dirt cheap money... preferable a manual with 5 speed overdrive and 4x4. That pickup is a unicorn and if you...

Love it crazy.... awesome engine.

If price were no issue, I would choose one of the 5w30's that are rated for the modern turbo diesels. Those low SAPS oils are very robust and will run in anything, usually rated to run 10k to 20k miles. But if you are talking about a situation where you get you biggest bang for your buck...

Just purchased 11 quarts and it will be poured into my Ram EcoDiesel today. ........

After the VW we went to a Mercedes ML250 in twin turbo diesel with 140k miles and 9 years of ownership and is running like new. Why did that VW fail?

Just learned that the VW Toureg V6, 3.0L turbo diesel that I owned ...... went into the shop in need of a top-end valve job.... at 115,000 miles. It was a $6,000 job... But I wonder why???? I did meticulous maintenance, as did the following owner.... Why? .................

My son owns a very well maintained Ford with the V10.... It only has 65k miles on it and when he is driving very conservatively, he gets 8 mpg.... and when he drives 70 mph... he gets 6 mpg. I seriously doubt anyone with a V10 is getting 14.5 mpg, unless they are coasting off a mountain. Of...

Gang... I am curious what the rest of you are getting for miles per gallon.... But I have to brag on my rig. I have a 2021, 24 foot, Class C that has the 7.3L Ford, V8 Godzilla engine. This past weekend we did a 760 mile trip through Colorado to Taos, NM and back.... and..... We averaged...

Yeah... call me a dummy.... Should have stuck with T4
