    Tractor Hydraulics Quesiton

    Currently have a tractor with triple remotes. One of the remotes has a locking mechanism so the fluid flows continuously to a implement that has its own levers. The issue is the 3pt does not work while this is locked in, but the loader does work. Is there a way this could be set up so both...

    Dodge automatic transmission

    I pull roughly 10k on a near daily basis with a 68RFE in a 2017 3/4 ton Ram diesel. With 40k miles towing, the transmission has held up fairly well. But I'm not absolutely pleased with its performance. Some times it feels like its too quick to downshift, and other times it feels like its...

    Bearing Buddies

    How well do they actually work? Got a couple new trailers with them and I'm skeptical. I'm used to manually packing them, usually twice a year as our trailers get 40-50k miles a year on them.

    6.7 ram

    My dad's pickup is a 2008 Ram 3/4 ton Diesel. Its been driven cross country twice. Only issue was at 80k miles DPF went out, had it deleted and never looked back. He considers it the most reliable pickup he's ever had, the 6.7 is a monster compared to the 5.9. We've really only had to due normal...

    Truck Driver Shortage............

    Self-Driving trucks look to be the future. They would likely still have to have a human supervisor, but there would be a lot less potential for error. As a young person I would definitely not want to get into truck driving and expect to make a career out of it.

    Getting a flatbed installed next week

    They can't stay clean forever, they got to earn there keep! You ought to see what this one looks like today, 30k miles later.

    Touching up galvanized gates and handling equipment

    We sometimes build gates. To touch up the welds we use what I think is called a galvanizing compound. Comes in a spray can.

    My new used truck.

    Looks like a good work rig. The hemi's were pretty uncommon in one tons, especially dually's back then, and for good reason. I'd guess its a little on the gutless side?

    My new used truck.

    To be honest, I really don't miss that extra 1 1/2ft. Makes it turn so much tighter and its much easier to park. But this one is a strict weekend rig/ daily driver. The 2 flatbed work trucks take care of the towing and hauling. But I wouldn't hesitate to throw a flatbed on this one and put it...

    Mud Terrain Tires.Are they worth it?

    We used to have a dually with Toyo M55's on the rear, very good traction in mud and snow. But they are spendy.

    My new used truck.

    I picked this one up in January. 1999 Dodge 3/4 ton with a 24v Cummins and a 5 speed. 230,000 miles. I removed the camper shell and put my tool box on. Also switched out the stock 16" wheels for 17" factory take-offs from a 2014. Will probably do an aftermarket lift pump but that's it. Would...

    My new used truck.

    Nice truck. I to would rather buy a clean older vehicle than a new one.

    Getting a flatbed installed next week

    We set ours on 1" spacers. Did they set your bed on the truck frame?

    Getting a flatbed installed next week

    We moved the backup camera on our Ram from the regular bed to the flatbed when we installed it. Not too complicated, hardest part was getting all the wiring for it out of the tailgate. After that just plug the wiring back into the truck, and drill a hole in the flatbed to mount the camera to...

    6.7 Fords

    The 6.7 pstroke is one of the better diesels Ford has ever offered. Definitely plenty of snot. I think the 2018's are at 450 hp and 935 torque. 6.7 Cummins only at 385hp and 930 torque. Their have been some turbo issues but I think that was limited to the earlier models? They are not popular...

    Another deal or dud

    Kubota L series has left hand shuttle and gear selector. We ran one up to 5500 hours fencing with it. At that point the post driver had pretty much rattled it apart.

    Trailer lights

    Many trailers just have poor quality wiring from the start. After a certain amount of use and time it is just easier to have a shop rewire the entire thing. Lights don't bother me as much as brakes do. Not fun rolling up into town towing 20k and you can't stop cause your trailer brake wiring is...
