The post below about purchasing a diesel pickup made me want to post this. I see in my town people that start a mowing buisness get a 16 ft trailer and a lawn mower and get into mowing lawns. Most of them run out and buy a Duramax to pull the trailer. Yes i dont know there whole story on there operation. Dont get me wrong. We had a Duramax at work and i loved the power and the engine brake function. Had a guy in town that has a tree service and bought a brand new Dodge cummins 70k diesel. Never had it a week and put DEF in the fuel tank at a truck stop. It started running bad. It cost 11k to fix it. His insurance company paid for it. My question is is at what point should you buy a diesel. It seems to be a luxury.
