    What trip(s) have you cancelled so far?

    snoden, please report back on how your trip goes. Maine is on our bucket list, and has been put off for the last 2 years.

    What about 2 season old fuel?

    If you are absolutely positive there is no E-gas whatsoever in what you are treating, SeaFoam is great. If you're not sure of no E-gas use StarTron, or K-100. Both have longer term stabilizing capabilities, and prevent phase separation with E-gas. My marine dealer is adamant about this.

    We need to be reminded $$$

    Yeah. I know a person, who bought a new X9 Deere for last years harvest. All set up, $1.6 Mil! Says it really performs, they no longer have to work after dark, because they have nowhere to go with the grain. o_O He has also spent more than that $3.5 mil, to obtain the related trucks, trailers...

    We need to be reminded $$$

    Yeah, well, pclark, farm machinery has increased 60 % plus since before the Covid. A $450K combine, then, now right $750K. I say big time Gouging after watching Deere's net profits in that same period. Sorry but what my repair costs yesterday set me off, once again.

    We need to be reminded $$$

    Yeah, well, my son was working on our selfpropelled sprayer today and discovered it had a coolant leak coming from the water pump. It has a John Deere engine in it for power. He went to get parts to fix the problem. No repair kit available, just new or reman pumps. Plus having to also buy a new...

    What about 2 season old fuel?

    bobt I am not hear to argue with anyone. It's not a good idea to store gas of any kind whatsoever. This as the gasoline we have today, falls out of specs very rapidly, short shelf life. No matter what kind, grade, E-gas, or straight gas. I don't like Sta-Bil, of any kinds. If you are positively...

    A big part of today's younger people goes back to how they were raised, brought up imo.

    We need to be reminded $$$

    pclark, and dfattack, I just looked into the Fuel issue a bit more as I need to lay some in. Bad timing! My market advisor late Nov, early Dec, 23 told me get it bought. Like a fool I didn't. The rack price where I'm at hasn't been that low since. Even with the fuel stabilizer that I always use...

    We need to be reminded $$$

    I don't disagree. Another thing that is still affecting industries are the tariffs that were put on, many of which are still there, and continue to cause havoc. As you say, continue inflation, as you can't raise prices fast enough. A vicious circle, as what goes around, comes around. It always...

    We need to be reminded $$$

    Yeah pclark the Diesel is a big issue for me. December set a all time record high in production of Crude, and NG. Never in history had we pumped, produced that much volume. However, we are also setting records on the exporting of those products also. Drill baby drill, isn't working out this time...

    We need to be reminded $$$

    Yeah, well, I'm not against anyone making good $$$. That being reasonable, and good profit, and not taking advantage of others. I'm all for that, however, some, many of these quarterly, annual, or whatever gross to net profit ratios are absolutely way over being anywhere close to reasonable...

    How many folks are taking the money they are not spending and saving for a side by side??

    Agree with the dirt issue 100% SledTL. I'll deal with the dir5t, dust, and mud on the farm, but for recreational use No Way! To enjoy for recreation, a fully enclosed, tight sealed climate controlled cab is a must. Friend of mine went from a Poo Ranger to a Poo General, and no A/C, or tightly...

    Still "might" get a week of riding in 🤞

    rph130 hope all goes well with the coming grandson, and the best of wishes with the surgery! Please let us know how your shoulder surgery and recovery goes. I'm needing the same surgery, however with my age I'm trying to get by with the shots, and behaving myself with that shoulder due to the...

    Snowmobile GPS thoughts?

    We use the Doo Garmin, and the glove box extension and mounting. Does all we need, solid mounting, charging, and weatherproof. Easy to remove, and take into the eating, and bar stops to review, or plan ahead. I'm a big fan on KISS!
