What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

[PaulL]

today, I sold it!

officially tractor-less for at least the next 14 hours

No longer matching!! I don't think the LX3310 is available here. And I definitely cannot fit one in my shed, nor do I have enough use for one.

Did you ever manage to adjust the 3ph to start raising at 1 on the lever?

im a little sad we're no longer twins Paul, but we'll always have our BX and B2601 memories together
The dealership said it was operating normally after they looked. It was getting full range up / down, just the way the lever is indexed I think...
If you can fit your B2601 in your shed, the LX3310 will fit

Son there aint no such thing as FREE wood !

There is at my work, there’s mountains of it all stacked and seasoned, and free to the taking for the employees.

I used a really cool attachment recently that formed/rolled out raised beds with drip tape. We did several thousand feet in an afternoon.

Damn all these years i thought Little farm gremlins installed that stuff by hand!

This started about three weeks ago when this perfectly healthy pine tree fell in the pond. Of course most of the limbs were on the pond side where the most light was so they’re underwater and jammed up in the muddy pond bottom.

That was quite a feat NCL!

Not true at all. The LX takes a 72 inch deck, and that won't go through my door.

Sounds like a road trip is in order

Took the deck off. Cleaned it and sharpened the blades. Did the 150 hour service on the tractor two hours late. Both front tires appear to be leaking again. Probably got poked with thorns again. I'll go back at my battle with them when the weather cools down.

flail mower today whacking some weeds. Managed to smoke the belts on the mower with all the stilt grass wrapping up. Ugh. Time to find some spare belts.

On the plus side, I sold one of my quads today. Now, I'll just have to be happy with the wife's grizzly.

Today I picked it up!

Awesome Kevin. Congrats.

Approximately how long do you plan on keeping her?

I'm working in an area where we had nursery material. I'm clearing out stuff that got rooted in and can't be dug. I need to keep choker cables,chains, loppers and a chainsaw handy. The extra lift capacity of the LX2610 over the B2601 is why I wanted the larger machine.
Trunk is bolted down with some button head screws, large fender washers and nylok nuts.Room around it for chains etc.
Cargo carrier is 48x20. 1 1/4 sq has adapter for 2" receiver. This whole thing is a lightweight set up, its not carrying a lot of weight, otherwise I would have gone heavier (more $$$) Carrier rated for 300 lbs, I think 100 would be the limit. My Makita 14" LXT battery chainsaw, loppers, tow, chains etc probably close to 100 lbs.
Trunk is Exterior dimensions: 37.187 inches x 18.00 inches x 14.375 inches

Used the BX to lift the subframe onto my '70 Nova body. Have to get the subframe on so I can gett the fenders, hood, doors and radiator support fitted before it goes off to the paint shop. It hasn't been as long of a project as the genset I built, but I disassembled it in 2014 and has been setting in primer since 2017, so it's time to get it back on the road.

Very nice, that will do the job

So Japanese Stilt Grass causes problems for flail mowers?

I’m using a rotary cutter (aka bush hog) now that’s about the same age I am (not saying much for either of us). Had thought a flail might be a good option if/when it gives up, but not if flails can’t handle stilt grass. We have quite a bit of that.

Saturday morning I tried to use the fourwheeler to pull the lawn sweeper around. Couldn't get it started in the 10 pulls or whatever I was willing to give it so I decided to use the 7100. Well, the pine straw rake was already on it, so I decided to run that over the lawn a bit before sweeping. It did a number on it. Then while I was at it, I thought maybe I should go over the (mostly sand) driveway and see what happens. It surely didn't hurt it. Then decided to clean up the back yard (all sand) since I've been working back there and it needed a cleanup. Did great there, too. After all that I swapped to the sweeper and cleaned up the yard.

Then I put the brush hog on the 3901 and ran it for a while before breaking the tail wheel off.

Yesterday I gave the 3901 a bath and a grease job. Gotta do 50hr service to it, too, but I don't have the supplies yet.

I think if the flail had Y blade knives it'd work better for stilt grass. I have heavy hammers on mine and I think the slipping belts contributed.

Following up on this - what is this attachment? I'm not even sure what to search for to find it...

As a part of my lawn redo I decided to level off the north side lawn. It's not very large about 50X50 then it goes into the woods. Before an ice storm took it down I had a productive grape arbor there.
In the past I had installed a pvc pipe for my woods cameras and I know it was only down a couple of inches.
So I brought over about 20 buckets of top soil and was starting to spread them with the back blade - being VERY careful near that pipe. Then I hit an inground bee's nest. Without thinking (never a good idea) I hit the reverse pedal and the corner of the back blade took out the pipe

The black line was where the pipe was. I spent Sunday digging a real trench, fixing the pipe (no real damage to the 2 cat 5 cables or 40v 14ga power wires) and then bringing more topsoil in to fill it in.

Although I crowned the filled in trench, it's pretty puffy topsoil and I know I'm going to have to bring more in.
