    Don't buy a bigger tractor than you need.

    There are also some of us who have had a bad experience with the BX and wouldn't buy one.

    Are we experiencing the death of the Diesel engine (small non commercial diesels)

    Making a product with cheaper materials to maximize profits is not due to the government. It is due to GREED! Im not going to touch the anti-government BS.

    Are we experiencing the death of the Diesel engine (small non commercial diesels)

    I run less then 60 hrs per year. I used to be a gas person on my equipment. Now my equipment is a diesel tractor and all electric equipment. My trimmers and such run better with zero problems compared to gas. My tractor is nothing less then amazing in my application. Snow was a problem...

    Are we experiencing the death of the Diesel engine (small non commercial diesels)

    I bet the conversation started around John Deere and their service by technical staff only. I know a farmer who got rid of all his green and switched to case. Millions of dollars of equipment. His brother now has a case and picked up a second Oliver......ya Oliver. I could have bought new, I...

    Are we experiencing the death of the Diesel engine (small non commercial diesels)

    I may be preaching to the choir but, the difference in gas vs diesel is massive in a small engine. Torque to start with. My 20hp Kohler in my simplicity legacy could not do what my 19.5hp d950 in my b8200 does, not even close. My 26hp Kohler in my other pos grass cutter could either. Small...

    What happened back then?

    Finite is just that, when "we" use it it's gone. Infinite means "we" will never run out. Yes, nature is still making fossil fuels. Now we can turn any carbon based material into oil. We have proven this over and over, polymer-dethermalization. So garbage in one end, oil,heavy metals and...

    What happened back then?

    Population. To many people, to few sustainable resources. What we should do is often debated by those who don't see or don't want to see the problem. The "follow the money" folks forget the money flows to the ones causing the problem as well as those who try to fix the problem and the "snake...

    What happened back then?

    Great set of questions..... Without going into a long drawn out lecture I will address accuracy and temperatures. First, there are small ocean animals that live in a certain range of temperatures. Others live in different ranges. If you look at lake or ocean sediments you can find them...

    What happened back then?

    The problem with your information is not the information, it's the outcome you present. It's is true the earth goes through climate shifts and has for close to 4.5 billion years, without humans. So you can graph these patterns and see changes. What we see is the change above normal climatic...

    What's your fuel consumption like?

    At it's worse, my b8200 is between 1/4-1/2 an hour. I mow my 2.5+ acres 5-6 times per tank. To compare my simplicity legacy 20hp was 1.5 gallons per hour and my pos troybilt super bronco xp 54" fab gt (mouth fill) was 2 gallons an hour with it's 26hp.

    Husqvarna 550xp mark 2 or Stihl ms261

    My brother and I in 1996 bought our saws. His is a Stihl and my a husky. He has had to rebuild his saw 3 times, mine only once when he dropped a 30" round oak on it. He had to borrow my saw to clear his property because his was in the shop. In the end I love my saw. She has never let me down.
