This one comes to mind. https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/my-b2601-broke-in-half.35271/#post-293674

I use one of these: It's long enough to stand upright while cooking weeds and I attach it to a 20lb propane tank (grill). I put the tank on a small garage hand truck. 2 potential issues: 1) obviously, fire. I once caught some leaves under a raised wooden walkway, doused that with a hose...

I'd go for the heavier duty model. Generally, flail mowers don't require as much HP as other cutters. I have a similar HP tractor running a 53" flail (with hammers). No issue doing the types of cutting that you posted. In very tall/thick grass (2 ft tall plus), I need to slow it down a bit...

From what I hear the 6.4 is a reliable, heavy duty engine, it's not even close to the 5.7. The 8 spd ZF's are nearly bullet proof and are one of the best autos out there. Just don't fall for the "lifetime" trans fluid BS. Change it at 50-60K. That service is a PITA, but do it anyway. My 2015...

Don't know your situation but here, the difference in fuel costs between gas and diesel negates much of the arithmetic. Adding the diesel option can also negatively affect the payload as well (especially in a 3/4 ton). Some of us don't want/need a diesel. The OP has mentioned several times that...

My point in showing this channel to you is that he's done extensive towing tests with 1500 and 2500 trucks. Do some searching and you'll find it. I believe he's towed 8k and 11 or 14K with it. You'll get a better idea of the towing MPG's that you were looking for. here's 1 of them: as I've...

Check this guys channel. He has lots of info with truck camparisons/towing fuel mileage. He also owns a 2500 with the 6.4 and seems to really enjoy it.

not apples to apples but my 6.4 has been reliable. I have one in the older gen Ram but it is a cab/chassis. They are detuned in cab/chassis and you can really feel it especially with the 6 spd trans despite having a 4:44 rear and it's really thirsty (7 mpg towing and maybe 10 empty). I wish that...

some projects of late. Nothing terribly interesting but the Kubotas keep me busy... Hay Bales White Pine... This is a pic I took of this same tree a few months ago while cleaning up another one this spring. I knew it wouldn't last long. Cleanup started Burnage...

Yep. Same stove as RCW. The stove was here when we bought the place and we use it all winter (burn approx 3 ton/year). My last place had a wood stove which I was very happy with. I had an endless supply of (free) wood to feed it there. The pellet stove is convenient, and puts out some steady...
