What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

[S-G-R]

The pulverizer is working as expected. There is quite a bit of dead material and I raise and lower it as needed. Using the grapple to move the debris to a pile although I think manure forks or a rock bucket would be better options.

Was SO happy about putting deck on I decided to do it twice (pulled the connected PTO shaft apart aligning deck under tractor).

Got to see a Part Deux….

And after all that it’s raining….

I did refill the gearbox.

Before and after shots. The wc68 does a great job.

That's a impressive pile. How long did it take to go through all of that?

I'm clearing the area where the new barn/shed will go and had a nice fire going today. I used the MX as an expensive wheel barrow to haul stuff to the burn pile. I had the M6060 bucket on and decided to do a bit more on the new driveway. The MX had no trouble climbing the hill with a full bucket of dirt.

I plan on putting up a 30ft x 60ft barn/shed where the fire is, with the option to extend to 70ft and covered storage on both long sides of the structure. I figure I have until November to get it done. I rented a 10ft x 30ft storage unit for the boat so I don't feel quite as stressed to get something up in record time. I'll be welding up all the trusses and using steel pipe set in the ground with the holes filled with concrete. I might add a concrete floor at a later date but it'll be gravel to start with. I'll have 10ft x 10ft and 12ft x 16ft doors on the front end wall, and a 10ft x 10ft door on the rear end wall. This is the general plan at the moment.

Talking of fires, the state of Montana has become far stricter about burning. Anything bigger than a camp fire requires a permit that is free and good for the year, and it's easy to get online. We have to activate the permit any time we want to burn, and we can only burn natural stuff such as brush, trees, grass etc. There are a lot of questions to answer in addition to agreeing to the terms of the permit with severe penalties for failure to comply including up to a $10k fine and 6 months in prison for each violation. No plywood, construction material, treated lumber, painted wood etc.

We're under a complete burn ban here. The field beside us was tilled today and there was minimal moisture when the harrows went through so i expect I'llbe looking at my brush piie until the fall.

It was around 10 hours over a couple of days. My back will only take so much. What made it easier this year is that I was strategic in how I placed the limbs on the pile. Took a little longer up front but it was worth it on the back side.

Probably spuds whenever it warms up.

We're good to burn in the county at the moment. It was a near perfect day for burning with intermittent rain, mostly overcast, and green grass all around.
