    OK I got lazy

    You don’t need a pipe on your blade to plow snow on gravel. Just reverse the moldboard so the blade skims off snow without moving gravel. I’ve been doing this for over 25 years.

    MotorTrend has lost it !!!

    My Maverick was cold blooded and used oil regularly. A real POS. And the Vega engine was known to self destruct. No way they were better than any modern vehicle.

    Both were some of the worst cars of the day.

    Steel pipe on snow plow cutting edge

    I just turn my back blade around backwards so the cutting edge is facing the rear and plow snow. It will skim off the snow without removing gravel.

    What to do with ‘yard’ waste?

    I burn my brush piles in the winter when they have a few inches of snow covering them.

    Found off-road diesel

    Not to mention a red dyed fuel system in the truck.

    BX 1880 VS Gr2120

    I’ve never had an issue with my zero turn damaging the grass. But I don’t mow wet grass.

    BX 1880 VS Gr2120

    Absolutely. Unless the OP is going to be field mowing, there is no better dedicated lawn mower than a zero turn.

    Finding an appropriate sized tractor (hp) with a cab that's big enough.

    The LX series are in-between a B and L series, so they are smaller than an L series by design.

    Reasonably Priced brush guard for L series and MX on Amazon

    Where do you buy expanded metal for $20?

    Fluid filled tires?

    Filling rear tires does improve traction, but the primary reason for filled tires is to add ballast as a counterweight for using the loader to lift heavy loads.

    At what temperature do you plug in your block heater?

    I’ll have to go look at the manual again, but my Dodge/Cummins truck manual says 10 degrees or lower for conventional 10W-30 oil and -5 degrees or lower for synthetic 5W-40 oil. I would assume that it’s something similar for our tractors.

    Shear Bolt Price Explosion!!

    You don’t know that.

    Yet another Rotella question

    Synthetic oil at 5W-40 weight is far better than dino 15W-40 in cold weather. It’s obvious that the engine starts better and runs quieter with the synthetic.
