The best backroad mud holes are like a good woman,
Firm bottomed and drivable.

^ Nice rig! I don't have the need for a blade, but that looks like a great wide deck.

62 inch deck - but it still takes me 2 hours to cut the grass. I actually use the front end loader the most - super handy for moving gravel, landscaping, etc. Also, I use it to plow my driveway in the winter - the front end loader actually works better than the blade I have I have for it.

When i saw the price of those things i bought a tinny and a quad instead and just drive over the snow. Alberian snow is just dust anyway
They sure are handy for summer yard work tho. I was scopimg the mini kubota myself but that one is fine as fuck

Re: My Truck...
Are you talking about the black plastic thing that is attached to the mower deck? That is just to stop rocks, etc from flying while cutting. I have removed it since this picture.5thhorseman wrote: ↑Thu Jul 16, 2020 6:32 amHey BCEP, what's that mounted to the loader right in front of you? I thought it was a weird place for a ROPS until I see it isn't actually cropped out of the pic.
Got an old Kubota myself.

Re: My Truck...
yeah I get some pretty big snow drifts in the driveway. I could probably get away with driving over them, but I don't mind plowing it. I get a lot of use out of it all year around.The Brown Wizard wrote: ↑Thu Jul 16, 2020 5:40 amFuck plowing BCEP...i just roll over top of it lol.BCExpat wrote: ↑Wed Jul 15, 2020 11:11 pm62 inch deck - but it still takes me 2 hours to cut the grass.

Re: My Truck...
It's not a ROPS - it's just part of the framing for the front end loader.5thhorseman wrote: ↑Thu Jul 16, 2020 10:14 amNah, I mean the uprights right where a windshield would be.BCExpat wrote: ↑Thu Jul 16, 2020 10:04 amAre you talking about the black plastic thing that is attached to the mower deck?

Re: My Truck...
Recently caved and got a truck. The old F150 had 355,000 KM on it. It didn’t owe me a thing and still ran solid but I couldn’t take that beast on any more road trips. I drove a few rigs in the 15-25 K price range. Am pissed I missed out on a 2012 GMC Sierra with 120KM on it. I should have dropped a deposit on it. Drove a couple of Dodge Rams both 2013, but they handled like a chuck wagon. The new Dodges are beautiful trucks. Ditto for the new F150’s, and Chevs. So much to like among the big 3 for their new 1/2 ton pickups.
I ended up buying a 2014 Nissan Titan. It handles like a top and has a shitload of power. It also pukes through a lot of gas and has a pretty meh interior. Sharp looking truck though with 138 KM on it, it’s got lots of life. Fucking weird that I had to get a trailer hitch mounted on it though. I thought pretty much every full sized 4x4, hitches were standard procedure. For 21 K all in it’s a good truck for me at this juncture. In 4-5 years I can tap my mutual funds for 6 % and buy a new Chev.

Re: My Truck...
Once again had to yank a F350 out of a mudhole with the Tacoma then pulled it up a hill.
Fucked the last remaining fibres of clutch in the process though.
