Brilliant!

The trucks without a front LSD (non Tremor package) don’t experience the grinding noise. There was a crossover year (2023) when Ford implemented the fixed hub on all trucks including some Tremor optioned trucks. That’s where the “replace with selectable hub” came from. With no LSD in the front...

Sounds like internet scare tactics. I’d like to see some real world data on temperatures above 140 “cutting the life in half”. Call me a skeptic….

I voted 2 doors. You have to decide for yourself, but it would be a hard sell for the cost of a custom single. The price ain’t worth the beans. Now, or if / when you need something fixed or replaced. One massive door will probably mean a commercial service company. We went 16x10. Readily...

Lost power yesterday due to the wind. Only for 2 hours, but it was so nice to hear that V twin start up!

I don’t have photos, but I’ll explain the best I can. What I do on the dump trailer: The rear is chained through a D ring shackle that is attached to the draw bar. The front end is strapped around the loader mounting tubes with chokers. On the flatbed trailer I use the chokers on the front...

Oh, you’ll lose power. We said the same thing. But a year later a tiny tree fell over on some wires. 19 hours in July and we didn’t miss a beat!

Your manual must be unique. Mine is more specific.

Zerex Asian "red" or "Green" meet Kubota requirements. It may or may not be cheaper than the K coolant, but it is often available closer to you. Last time I bought it at $21/ gallon.

Phil saw his shadow here. Just got an Alberta Clipper run through and dump another dusting down. Temps below freezing all next week. This weekend wind chills will be sub zero. imma let my dog loose on that muskrat!

Potassium in itself is not a problem. Only that it can hide a coolant contamination in an oil analysis. If you know the level is elevated due to the Opti-Lube, then you know what your “normal” level is. You may already know all that, but others might not 😁

Don’t forget the oil that cools the pistons. Piston skirt temps can get really high on a loaded engine.

Don’t have one on the K, but I do in the truck. The trucks came with it as part of the “cold weather package”. I just wanted the electric heat in the cab. Only used them a time or three. never considered it in the tractor. Sure, it’s been cold. Mostly below 20 for a high. I just switched the...

Opti- Lube for all my diesels. I don’t bother with their “Ag” formula. Just the red flavor.

lol. I tried the bucket of snow also. Not a fan. Do not recommend. I had my snowboard goggles on but it still sucked. Or blows 😜
