    Rain gear for the tractor

    I’m wondering why the front mounts are necessary. All of the canopies I’m familiar with just mount to the ROPS.

    No it’s not. And resale value is also a factor that is often overlooked.

    MPGs isn’t a personal opinion.

    Just pointing out the mpg differences. 10 mpg sucks, especially when I can tow at 18 mpg. Diesels get 30% better fuel economy than a gasser v8 doing the same work making the higher priced fuel cheaper overall. But people are free of course to choose the 10 mpg option. Seems like the 1970s trucks...

    And that terrible mpg is basically why most heavy duty trucks are sold with diesel engines.

    I can tow my gooseneck trailer with steers or a fifth wheel trailer with my Dodge 2500 with Cummins and get 18 mpg consistently. About 20 mpg without towing. This is where diesel engines really show their value. Also for resale value.

    And that is where the Cummins shines. The MPG drop off from towing is negligible for a diesel compared to a gasser V8.

    Should be a dealer parts item. Probably won’t find it in a junkyard.

    That Cummins grid heater is awesome when the temperatures get to the minus degrees F. I will take my Cumins over any gasser motor any day.

    I have this truck with the Cummins diesel. It’s the best truck I’ve ever owned.

    Diesel Prices

    Most of New Mexico prices are lower. I’m sure that you were seeing interstate prices.

    Loader? Change My Mind!

    That’s a bit larger than the utility sized machine I was referring to. A small MX utility or larger L would be ideal to match with a subcompact. Going to a B series if you have a subcompact and large L doesn’t make sense to me.
