It is though to find a machine in that weight range. It's only about 1000lbs lighter than my 257 though. I have been impressed with fuel consumption in my machine. It has been very similar to the 257b it replaced. Nice looking truck by the way.

That's why I'll keep mine until it dies. 1986 New Holland L784 (gas) is heavy and big enough to handle most tasks. 6000 lbs and it always starts even below zero for snow plowing. My old back loves the forks, especially with a trailer ball for turning the trailers around. 2800 hours and should be around for a long time. You guys get me envious of the tracks and diesels but for $3500 12 years ago it owes me nothing.

Yes 6.2 F250. It pulls great, a lot better than my last 6.2 due to the 4.30 gears. I was a little tough going from my 2014 6.7 to my first 6.2 last year. But getting the right gears this time and the additional power bump for my new 6.2 has made the truck a lot more enjoyable for me.

I was pretty impressed with power of those 6.2s at the BFT Round-UP I attended in Seattle.

Yep, have an'02 NH LS160, used it today drilling holes for some concrete anchors, it was used with 300 hrs when I bought it, today worth most of what I paid for it. Now if I only kept my excavator...
