  • Why is it that what should be a simple and easy task can be complicated and ends up being anything but easy. Just having some fun ranting about a whole lot of nothing.

    1.58 US gallons is 6 litres in metric. A nice round number. LOL. The USA is sometimes rather backwards in non use of metric measurements. The rest of the world gets along just fine with metric.

      5.98L So....Its does not matter what system you use, as long as you can convert it. I use both systems daily, Overall metric is not nearly as useful

      @@redink71 At best the USA has soft metric. IE. The metric equivalents of USA standard measurements. Doing math in metric is significantly easier with a base 10 system vs a system that uses fractions in their measurements.

      Sometimes it's bizarre both measurements systems. A "Hemi truck" has a 5,7 Liter engine. On the other hand, rim diameterin Europe is expressed in inches, while the width of the tyre itsself is in cm.
      Also inch, foot, yard, mile, acre, pound, gallons are quite easy to convert to centimeter, meter, kilometer, hectare, kilogram, liter.
      One measurement is not : Fahrenheit because there is nothing linear in it. Celsius is way more logical.
      Water has 3 forms : or it's frozen (=0 degrees Celsius & below), liquid (=0 - 100 degrees C) or steam (>100 degrees C), it's linear.
      Funny episode 👍

      @@Back40Firewood because this is the US of A, and we sell stuff by the gallon. Everyone buys quarts or gallons. The only one who would make that would be perhaps the factory itself, and theyd charge you double for it.

  • @lonewolfpa

    Your 1.58 gallons is roughly 6 liters, and since your tractor is made overseas, metric wins.

    IF YOU COULD HARVEST THE MULBERRY SPROUT AND NURTURE IT TO A POT AND LET CONTINUE GROWING, YOU WILL NEVER EAT A BETTER BERRY, THEY ARE SO SWEET AND TASTY, DOWN FALL IS THEY STAIN VERY BADLY YOUR HANDS. THE WILDLIFE LOVE THEM TO
    WE HAVE AROUND 3 OF THEM AT OUR PROPERTY, THE DEER, FOXES, RACOONS, AND BIRDS LOVE THEM.
    FOR THE LAST 4-5 YEARS WE HAVE HAD BALTIMORE ORIOLES COMING, TO HUMMING BIRD FEEDERS AND MULBERRY TREES. THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL WE ALSO PUT GRAPE JELLY AND ORANGES OUT FOR THEM.
    SORRY TO RAMBLE ON SO LONG, THE SHORT OF IT MULBERRY IS GREAT!

    That Mulberry might be like a potato?? plant it in the ground, get more Mulberry trees? I had Zero concern for your trailer bed.
    For those who might have those concerns, you can use a horse stall mat. Put it in your trailer, pick up truck, whatever.
    ***Serious note: re-check your front differential level after running it, or after it sits for an hour or two.
    I filled mine, used the little dipstick, it was full. Checked the next day, had to add almost a quart to bring it back up! Then it was good.
