There are some regional differences with diesel as we are seeing with the 47 different formulations of gasoline.

We get all of our fuel from California refineries, so we are subject to their environmental regs. As a result, we get one grade of diesel fuel that is also sold as home heating oil.

For winter use the local distributor mixes the one grade of diesel/home heating oil he gets with an additive (not kero) to lower the gel point and calls it "winter blend".

As California seems to lead the nation in such things, it seems likely that this program will sooner or later come to your state.

We do also get bulk kero, but based on how puny our diesel cetane numbers are here, I wouldn't think of using it as motor fuel.

So if Massey isn't the best, then who is? I don't care about style and looks, just performance and durability. Thanks all for your input. At least I think I am looking at the right ones now.

I can still get factory loaders for tractors that are 12-15 years old. Considering the popularity of the BX series I don't think it will be a problem.

As for the LA181 being "on the way out", thats simply not correct. They still have tractors in stock, infact I have two more with mowers and loaders comming yet.

I don't know of a sub-compact manufacturer that doesn't use these fans. I try to steer clear of the bush-hog application with them if at all possible.

Looking at the different manufacturers for what I've seen of use and the job I've seen from them the best are heat treated and a smaller blade for going into the ground easier. The heavier or larger ones have more mass, wear faster and are tougher on the tiller and the tractor.

Hal, don't know what your tool box has but they make a tester like a meat thermometer which is the cheapest tool to check it with or a laser pointer that tell temps but will ruin a hundred dollar bill. I'd not look for more parts as it more then likely would be the sender. IT only seems to be the gauge as if it isn't boiling over then it must be a faulty sender.

"Remember the Alamo"
How many people here realize that NOt too many years ago, Mexico had a pact with Ruissia to invade the u.S. and not too many years before that a pact with Germany.
Cubans speak what language? all the same to me, they are still pissed that we live here and they are going to take it back one way or the other.
Damn, I have a tough time understanding why so many people can't get it thru their heads, that these people are ILLEGAL.
We have a budget for Homeland security and to just blow that out of the water we have people who want to allow ILLEGALs to stay here. Wow1 brain dead or what?

Go to Google and type in immigration ICE and then enjoy the reading, you will be amazed at how many of these ILLEGALs are NOT picking Lettuce and instead are mixed in to some pretty Secure Jobs. Go ahead, type it and read.

Got it delivered last night! Played for about 10 minutes. Now I'm happy I got the larger model, though I can't really compare it to the 7800. Looking forward to more time on it today.

Off road is not the same as on road low sulfur.

Off road is not refined as much to remove the sulfur.

This year on road fuel will take a tremendous hit when the neww sulfur standard hits it. We are expecting to see .30 cent increase.

Off road/ farm/heating has a high sulfur content and the feds are about to try and play with that also.

The dyes are added at the refineries, not locally, so it is a done deal before the tanker ever loads.

The price you were quoted is just about right on the money. With the FEL and cab all the extra remotes. With all those options they are not going to be much cheaper regardless of brand. I personally think that the TN60DA would be a better match for you though.

If you have to add air then you must have a leak. This will cause the rim to rust. You might try to lubricate the linkage.

I don't know that there is a solution with the existing pieces but places like TSC might be a good place to compare other units.

Sharbin, the 301 uses Hygard transmission and hydraulic fluid in the transmission. The differential, axles, and transmission all are one big reservoir for the hydraulics. You fill it at the cap just behind the seat and the dipstick is at your right heel as you sit in the seat.

"4*Why not just fill your tractor from the furnace tank?"

See the "HIGH SULFUR FUEL" thread.

I can't see how saving a few cents per gallon is worth losing your warranty and possibly thousands of dollars in repairs.

Best of luck.
