SSQC can be added if you weld, but it's not free. I'd skip this one. In my opinion, aftermarket cabs leave a lot to be desired if you plan to do a cab since there is no AC. From my research, the B7800 is at least a 2008 model. That's fairly old to me.

If you want a front mount snowblower, buy a B2650, LX2610, or LX2620. Otherwise, L2501HST, or L2502HST. I use the front loader to move piles of snow ,and use a rear blade to plow.

I guess you probably could our town was similar. Where I lived we had a lot of new drivers from other countries. They kind of drove like teens because that's how much experience they had. They were a bit fun to watch at times. Some were slow, some good, some were very fast and out of...

A long rear blade that tilts and offsets to reach out will do it.

I guess we are talking about two sizes of yards. Even a riding lawn mower was too big for the yard I had.

Almost 5 years ago and it's the only tractor I'll probably ever own, but we'll see. No regrets for the model and implements I bought. Fyi, I'm only averaging about 50 hrs per year. Why so late? I lived in the city and a subdivision until a few years ago.

Price per gallon equivalent doesn't really matter since different vehicles of the same propulsion and type use different amounts of fuel. They can be tuned completely differently.

Electricity rates are radically different across the US just like gasoline/diesel. If we are only talking about fuel vs electricity, the math is all over the place. Here's a comparison. Electricity prices in the U.S. vary significantly by state, with Hawaii consistently having the highest...

I don't think so. I put JD dye in my hydraulic fluid a couple of years ago, and it still works fine. Maybe it made it better. :D Augers and bits are different lengths and widths. I think you just have to ask what lengths they have.

The Maverick Hybrid has a tow rating of 2000 lbs. Of course, you have to have the tow package. I'm not sure why you need the gate closed to carry plywood. There are other ways to secure plywood besides just the gate. In practice, I think most people only need a sheet or two from the big box...

Some of us laugh at all of the negative spin everyone wants to put on ICE and Hybrids while positive spinning EVs. At the end of the day, this thread probably isn't changing any minds.

I think it will take a few years for EV sales to stabilize in the US. Some states are mandating zero emissions and are starting to realize they don't have enough power for them. This is probably going to get worse as power demands go higher for AI. It seems they are looking for ways to tax...

Source, if you care to provide it.

I don’t see that. What I saw was govt intervention to make it appear to be advancing. That might be a good thing depending on your perspective until the govt help is pulled.

Commercial EVs have already been on the market about 17 years. I’m not sure why we should expect a breakthrough in 15 more. :)
