    About to buy a truck

    if it was up to me, and you where only using it to pull, i would buy a 5.9 cummins dodge dually. They have a bullet proof motor and a solid front axle that would give years of trouble free use. My next choice would be ford, but stay away from anything with a 6.o litre diesel, as they spent more...

    Tractor Recommendations

    to do a powershift in a 2090 or 2290 you are looking at close to 10000 to replace. If going with the 90 series try to get the newer ones. I do believe the 1978 and 1979 models had a shorter wheel base. The 2390 is a good tractor but a bit hard on fuel and only has a 1000 pto shaft. Depending on...
