I recently bought a John Deere e170 with 150 hours and the original owner stated that it overheats after 30 minutes of use and can’t climb hills and I figured it was the oil in the transmission because it kept slipping and coming to a stop on hills after it got too hot but the original owner said that it is a brand new transmission and he thinks that the hydrostatic oil that John Deere sells just thins out and doesn’t really work so I was wondering if there anything I need to check and what kind of oil would be the best alternative to give it max performance and climb hills

21 under? I don’t know why but my brain sees those scores and it just thinks instantly “oh this isn’t one of the big events.” I immediately think like John Deere classic, not major championship. I’ve heard they aren’t coming back and seriously good riddance, not to mention the Scottie stuff lol.
Edit: I’m clearly in the minority. I’ve never liked Valhalla, I think it’s a pretty boring course esp for a major, I guess that colored my view of the whole thing and perhaps I was just going to be underwhelmed no matter what. Not trying to be a downer if everyone else loved it.

Hey everyone, currently writing this in the Papa John's parking lot. I cannot emphasize enough how Little Caesers ruined my life. I can't even stand to be within a mile of one. Hell, even legally, I'm banned from every Little Caesers in the United States for the crimes I was coerced into committing.
It all started 4 months ago. I (18M) was an average man with an average life. I was making $370K a year as an Onlyfans model. Honestly, to say I was an average man is an understatement. I was in the top 0.3% of creators. I had a beautiful girlfriend (19F) who was in her late teens. I drove a Bentley, lived in a mansion, vacationed three times a month, we really lived it up.
Anyways, 4 months ago it was my girlfriend and I's 2 year anniversary together, so I wanted to do something special for her. Our first date was at her grandmother's pizzeria, so I thought why not recreate a similar experience?
I told her that tomorrow night I was going to give her the best anniversary she's had. Anyways, following day she tells me she wants a "girls day out". Which, I didn't approve of because last time that happened she went and had sex with 8 different people in the span of 2 hours at a "Girls Halloween party". Her defense was, it wasn't cheating since they were all adults and "Wanted to blow off some steam because I don't let her work and constantly abuse her". Which, let me tell you isn't true. She's a liar, a cheater, and promiscuous. I don't let her work, because I fear she may cheat on me. I have reason to believe she would cheat because I'm an Onlyfans model. I'm sleeping with up to 5 clients a day. I know how much sex is involved with working a full-time job. I had to struggle for 20 years prior to landing my high-paying career for $1000 a month. So I think I'm pretty qualified to say, she will 100% get involved with others if she gets a job. And the abuse part? It's a complete lie. I've only ever laid hands on her a few times in 2024- and each time she's deserved it. Does she think she's better than me? She's unemployed and thinks she can talk.
Now that we're all on the same page that I'm a loving, caring partner, let me tell you about date night. After the traumatic experience of her cheating on me, I was hoping it wouldn't happen again but I had to let her go because I couldn't let her find out about the special place I was getting food from.
I drive up to Little Caesers, and I get some divine intervention to just.. I don't even know. I can't put into words how I felt. What happened next is still a hazy memory. I immediately ripped all my clothes off, put the car into neutral and barged into Little Caesers. My jaw fell onto the counter, right into this one lady's crazy puffs when I saw MY GIRLFRIEND getting involved with the manager, and three of the other employees. It was honestly kind of hot, so I jumped over the counter and pinned the man on the floor and started engaging with him. I'm not gay, but I truly felt like in the moment that was the right thing to do as I couldn't let him get away with this. My girlfriend, covered her pepperoni nips up with two containers of crazy sauce, and was very embarrassed.
I knocked the man out, and thought "only three more left. You got this MattyOW." The speaker suddenly switched to full blasting a song called "Pino-Angel Discipline". And let me tell you, that made my mood even better. I had a duty to fulfill. I started engaging with every employee, and every customer in the lobby. I even engaged with a packet of jalapeño cheddar dipping sauce, and I was shooting loads of crazy sauce all over the establishment. I felt like a hero. My girlfriend was astonished, looking at her manager on the floor in a pool of crazy sauce, blood, and a mix of jalapeño cheddar.
Now, I thought it was over and I could pick up my mobile order and go home and live happily ever after. But that's not all peeps. Remember when I got out of the car? I put it in neutral, not park. I knew I messed up, seeing the headlights getting closer and closer, I was literally a deer in headlights. then my car smashes through the front window, runs over the customers I just had an engaging time with, and slams into the counter and comes to a screeching halt.
I tried to go over to my girlfriend and comfort her, like any good partner would but she runs out of the restaurant screaming for help. Honestly, I was confused because I did nothing wrong. I was a hero that night.
The cops show up, I get arrested and I'm informed that my girlfriend filed for a breakup, and I'll be placed under investigation for multiple claims of domestic issues, arson, attempted harm, and manslaughter. I couldn't believe it, I knew I was the victim.
Anyways, I broke out of jail where I was awaiting trial and stole a minivan where I now sit, writing this in the Papa John's parking lot awaiting to start my first shift in an hour. I hope you all can sympathize with me, and give me advice as to what to do in these dark times.

There's a used X370 (2018) selling for $2550 near me, 248 hours that's spotless. This would be my first John Deere and have no idea if that's a fair price or not.
Considering a new one costs $5k, is that really the depreciation rate? Or am I overthinking that they're hiding an issue. Any recommendations for what to look for?

A bit bored, I started to think how could an Academy Awards edition happen if they wanted to celebrate all movies in the cinema history. Taking into consideration my tastes and the value of the movies, I started to nominate different movies and celebrities for almost all the Oscars categories. My only criteria was that a movie could be nominated for one category only. I ended up with these nominations. What would you change/pick as winner?

Bodega Coffee is now caffeinating Winfield with locally roasted craft coffee.
The new coffee shop opened at 7391 E. 109th Ave., which has a Crown Point mailing address but is actually in Winfield.
Ethan and Hannah Hartmann, who also own Moda Beauty Bars across Northwest Indiana, opened the coffee shop in the former Deer Creek Nursery. It's next to a Moda Beauty Bar near a new subdivision under construction a few miles down the road from Walgreens.
"There's a lot of traffic that drives by," he said. "The subdivision next to us will have 40 to 50 homes. Winfield is blowing up. It's where we live and it's also a perfect place for craft coffee."
Bodega Coffee serves ice and hot coffee that was roasted by Smalltown Roasters in neighboring Crown Point. It also has iced lattes, smoothies, pastries and acai bowls, as well as specialty drinks including matcha, Thai tea and a lavender haze refresher.
Food options include avocado toast, open-faced sandwiches and bagels including Caprese, smoked salmon and Za, short for pizza. It partners with Bak House in Crown Point, which supplies pastries, cinnamon rolls and sourdough bread.
The Hartmanns are looking at potentially opening more Bodega Coffee locations in the future, possibly in locations like Chesterton, St. John, Cedar Lake and Valparaiso.
