I love fresh apricots. After the high winds we had here Friday I had to track down where my tractor cover blew of to, hehe.
We've had about 8" of snow the past week. I cleared off my drive, and my neighbor's drive. Maybe a 1st for a Kubota, we built a snowman with it. My son had rolled up snowballs for the snowman, and they were too large and heavy to pick up, so the Kubota pitched in and lifted the snowballs into place. We've got a nice 10' tall snowman in the front yard.
We don't get as much snow as a lot of you do, but 4-6" cripples us here. My grandkids from San Antonio Texas are having a ball in the snow.

Had 2 large dead pines blow over last week. Used the bx to pile the brush and drag the logs to the brush pile. The last pile is burning right now. Wonder if the bx is as tired as I am???
After what seems to be a lot of time for Glow Plugs to heat enough to allow smooth starting, plus the fact that they are thirty years old (and probably need to retire), and lastly that they are not that expensive, I decided to change mine. Got 2/3rds of them changed. The third? Well one of the Fuel rails from the pump to the injector is in the way. I have an idea as what will need to be done, just never had to before. It appears that I need to disconnect the one rail at the pump to access the GP. Am I correct in that I will have to Bleed the system because of opening this line? And if so, is all I need to do after connecting the rail back to the pump is crack the other end at the injector for any air to escape while cranking? As far as "spillage", will it be just what is in that rail?
Thanks for your replies.

i spent a half an hour on my B2620 blowing a skiff of snow off my driveway this morning...we are expecting 2 inches overnight tonight and have about 20 inches on the ground so far.
BX2360 - after knocking down an old wood shed, I used the tractor to clean and level the ground. Then to get ready to build a pole barn extention, I cut down 4 - 70' trees and cut them up. Used the BX to move all the wood to one spot for a neighbor to pick up.
When I cut 2 of the trees they got hung up on the notch and the tops were laying on an adjacent tree. So hooked up a long chain to the Kubota (I had hooks welded on the FEL) and tugged and tugged until it dislodged and fell. What a great little package of power!
Now I want a BX-25 for the BH. I only have 37 hours ont he 2360.

I used my Kubota to load my 40 year old restored ONAN 5.0cck in to the back of my pick-up so I could use the ONAN at a remote site to power a compressor. The ONAN weighs about 400 pounds.
I'll use the Kubota next week to help load an old truck frame and cab on to a trailer.
I had back surgery 23 years ago and my Kubota is irreplaceable for a guy like me that still likes to work on mechanical stuff but shouldn't lift a lot of heavy stuff.

Been plowing snow and more snow and more snow, I have no wind break to the west and live on top a hill so even on days it doesnt snow I get drifts across the drive, I guess I need to put up a snow fence one of these winters and see if it helps. Kubota has been firing up great since the glow plugs got swapped out.
Shredded leaves. Attached my chipper/shredder to a small pallet and picked it up with the tractor and went around the house/fence/yard and shredded leaves. When I need to chip bigger stuff I drop the pallet and pick up for the other side.

It doesn't take long to set your sights higher, does it?
I made a new set of stabilizers for my B7100. As I refine my product, I use my tractor as the guinea pig. This new set is very similar to what I have been making, but I recently bought a nice shop press and made some brakes, and now I can bend brackets instead of welding two flat plates on the rods and tubes. They look more professional.

Yeah, and what did you do with your old, worn out, antiquated, used up original ones?
