back in the 60's and 70's i changed oil/filter every 3,000 miles with good dino oil. motors and filters were not made as good as today. also most roads were dirt and the dust was hard on all filters/motors. fast forward to now, motors, filters, roads are much better and you have many more different oils to choose from. i have older vehicles around my place with the newest a 2004 f250 diesel. i still run dino oil but i go longer between changes, around 7,000 plus miles. so it does not matter what oil/filter you use, just use it and change it. today oils/filters are good no matter the blend.

if you have usaa use them to rent. lowest price going, they get a special discount with several rental companies. i rent a car several times a year with usaa. if not look for discounts with any organization that you belong. most rental companies have better rates for longer rents, like 10 days. the pre paid gas can be a good deal it at the end of your trip the tank is all most empty, never works that way for me. check with your insurance company for coverage so you don't have to buy the rental high dollar stuff. don't add drivers, it will cost more. forget the gps and sat radio, just more money. rent ahead, 30 days or more for better/lower rates. check the vehicle out good and takes pictures before signing the rental papers. do not smoke in the vehicle, they will charge your card for lots of clean up money. the rental company will try to get more money from you on all type of mickey mouse things, don't fall into the trap.

I got three tractors on the farm, two Fords and a Yanmar. The two Fords (3910 and 4610) are used for hay baling twice a year and sometimes for other chores. But they are big and heavy, front end loaders and loaded rear tires adds lots of weight. When it is wet you can sink them in the low areas. So the Yanmar 1601D gets the call 90 percent of the time. Nice little 19 hp 4x4 tractor. It can run a 4 foot bush hog and a 5 foot finishing mower with ease. The Yanmar can get into places that the other two can not wet or dry. Yes bigger is better when you are farming, but if you are not putting up several hundred rounds bails a year you just don't need it. You need to be able to get into the hard spots to get the work done. Now the question is what brand and new or used. Mahindra, Branson, New Holland have some of the best. Do you want gear or hydro drive. For real farm work gear is the only way to go. For gentlemen farming then hydro drive. The Ford tractors made in the 1980's that were made in England are some of the best used tractors going. Four wheel drive is not really needed unless you are a major farmer. Two wheel drive will do all you need it to do. I don't use it with my Yanmar, just never have needed it. Been in deep before and the two wheel drive just kept on moving. Most 4x4 on a tractor is one back wheel and one front wheel pulling when in 4X4. Look for a tractor with a rear wheel lock so you can make both back wheels pulls at the same time.
