    Some.........some...........some DUDE with a Vulva / Stepdeck, that hailed from Georgia, blew the guard shack at The Petro INSIDE THE COMMUNIST STATE in front of us as we were leaving yesterday, not paying.

    Dude jumps out and snaps photo. He said they keep a file, and if they ever return, they leave on the hook instantly.

    Is this a common way that people from Georgia do business???

    Completely unrelated, but I'm curious;
    Would/will you go with 2spd rears on your next tractor? No lockers on the 2 speeds still I assume.

    Do you run a thinner hydraulic oil up there in the winter? My pump did not sound happy up there last week. Once the oil warmed up it settled down. But cold I didn’t like the noise it was making.

    He was probably from the Good life city. They are a little different down there.

    Probably not. With a 600 horse motor the 3.90’s do everything I need. I might would if I could get something like a 3.55 on the high side. And go with a limited slip rear. But I think a 3.70 is as high as you can get. 5.13 is my low ratio. I have only used it a handful of times and even then it was just because it was there.
