Didn’t Johnny Cash have a song about this?

Check out bio ballast. It a lot less messy than rim guard and non corrosive. It’s also better on the tire rubber than WW fluid. https://envirotechservices.com/products/tire-ballast-bioballast/

It’s very much fall in northern New Mexico. Been raining off and on all week and the aspen leaves in the mountains are at peak color. We rode the chair lift in the ski area to 11,500’ elevation, but it was in the clouds and not very scenic.

A box blade is simply assembled pieces of steel. As long as it’s well designed and constructed (quality implement) and not damaged, it will be as good as buying new. Even a green one can be fixed with a rattle can of implement enamel. 😉

I have downloaded the mykubota application and it’s really handy. It not only has a maintenance record, but it also has video tutorials for maintenance.

Related to your question: is the MX the wrong tractor for this? You will be at maximum capacity with a 2200# bin. On my MX me forks weigh about 300# and when I pick up a 2000# pallet I feel like this is maximum weight for the 2400# lift capacity of the 1065 loader.

Then consider a MX.

Yeah, there’s several Cummins equipped trucks in my area owned by delivery companies that have mileage in excess of 1M. One is owned by a local feed store and has racked up those miles transporting hay and pallets of feed.

I have used Rotella 5W-40 synthetic and Valvoline synthetic diesel oil 5W-40. They are superior to conventional oil. Let the games begin….

Why not mount a toolbox on the ROPS cross bar? Like this:

I wouldn’t consider taking a wheeled machine up any slope greater than 35%.

I don’t know why a tiller wouldn’t work perfectly for this purpose. The drag gate will make the ground perfectly smooth. You might have to go over it multiple times or wait till the soil moisture is perfect.

No need to replace all 4.

One thing you have probably already noticed is that the mpg reduction when towing or hauling is very minor with a diesel compared to a diesel. If you have any questions about visiting NM or AZ hit me up.
