    My reason for the dye was it is very difficult to tell the fluid level IF the fluid level is NOT in the window, as in completely below, or above the window ... It is hard to tell when filling while it may be close (my fluid is basically clear) ... Is it in need of more, or is it already too...

    Your box blade/scraper is probably the heaviest you have for the rear (for now!) Highly recommend have at the minimum that on the back, a heavy ballast box would be better ... 1000+ Lbs on the back will not only help keep your back tires on the ground, and the front end from tipping you over ...

    I'm not sure it's "hate" ... But, just 'different" than most others ... I like my dual side by side pedals on my Massey Ferguson. (As that's what I'm use to, don't like change!) Back in the beginning of 2022 I started my search for a tractor, was looking for a big CUT or small Utility ... With...

    Which tractor?

    I put about 4 gallons of DEF per 100 gallons of diesel in my semi-truck ... You can buy the DEF in 2.5 gallon jugs, probably cheaper at a farm or auto parts store, than what I see at the truck stops ... Cheapest at the pump if your close enough to road it there ...
