Actually u can probably do all that in a gasser too except the green fuel nozzle in the filler neck pic
Skid steer rodeos are a lot of fun. having owned 2 bobcats and worked at a JD dealership for a while I have got to play some too.... However, real Skid steers say Bobcat on them Actually I like the low lift arm design on the Gehl's. Saw way too many warranty problems with the JD machines.... Trouble now is all the new stuff is full of electronic control systems... AKA more to go wrong but don't really do any better job than the older designs. Currently have a 753 which is working great for my needs. Previous machine was a new 863G...
Yeah I'm intentionally hijacking the thread again to a more friendly topic

A V-10 could get you to those same places! Granted it would cost twice as much in gasoline, and twice as much in time. Especially if towing in the mountains! There really isn't a better tow rig than a diesel powered truck! Awesome pics by the way!
Yeah, I only saw 3 pictures of things you can't do with a V10; use a green-handled pump and spend all day working on your engine. lol

Came all the way back from Texas with my dad in our new truck and in all the miles we covered are all the things we did made for some memorise that I will never forget and they were all in a Diesel
I get to spend some relay good time with my friend Chris working on our diesels together or driving our diesels
I think that it was Diesels that relay kicked off our friend ship in the first place.
It was the first day of auto shop ans I saw he had a diesel 7.3 and started to talk to him and I think that if he didn't have a diesel we would have never relay
talked that much so diesel started a friend ship right there.
Its a diesel that gets me to all of the places we go ridding.
So the point is to me diesel is a lot if not for diesel a lot of cool things would have never relay happened for me. So that is what a diesel can do and not a V 10
Warrior, you are right and those are nice thoughts. Great things can happen to you when you find a common bond with a friend, whether it's diesel or a gasser.

I didn't start a fire and run. Baj126 I drive truck for a living and can't get back home to the computer all the time.
I'm surprised at the response to the thread. Thought it might get a little ugly but wanted to make a point anyway.
The green handled gas pump post was great.

hey - at least all our trucks have the Blue Oval on them! Love that F450 - looked at several before I decided to stay with an SUV and also save money over what I normally spend on vehicles.

Huh? What do the head gaskets on the 6.0L have to do with the fact that you CAN work all day long on the V10's, ala the exhaust studs?
I think you missed the point. Mister CMK's post was a reminder that, unlike the quoted post implied, a person can work all day long on the engine of a V10.
But you're right! At least they all have Blue Ovals on the front, and we can revel in the family rivalry!
