Or a fogger or sprayer with permethrin.I probably could yep, my wife has been wanting chickens forever. I might have to if it keeps up. From reading ticks thrive in tall grass so I will keep that down and so it’s not a fire hazard in fall as well

size is nice, niceNo real action shots. Used the grapple to "sift" crappy fill dirt and pull out the rock. Then used the rocks to build a "ladies fire pit" (one that doesn't get cigar butts, trash or cans tossed in it)
Lighter fluid bottle for size reference.

Thank you. The pit is about 5' diameter. I still have a good bit of stone left. I might make another ring around the outside to double it up. Maybe. When it isn't surface- of- the- sun hot.size is nice, nice
Nice weight rack. I need to do the same. Where did you find the weights ?? Thanks.Fabed up a front bracket to take 3x of 70# suitcase weights

Hey g_man : At the time shop.deere.com was the best I could find them (unless you bundle with an order from Good Works Tractors.) Everywhere else was crazy money on the shipping. None of the local-ish dealers ever had anything in stock. Only option was green so bring on the paint! They came with an absurd amount of shipping stickers and tape on them so so had to wire wheel them first. Kind of a lot of effort / expense all told, but excuse to fab something, and I was not liking how light the front end would get in certain situations with the three point loaded up (flail, wood chipper, land plane, box blade). Definitely worth the peace of mind and stability.Nice weight rack. I need to do the same. Where did you find the weights ?? Thanks.
but the grass will grow and you will have to cut it again!Finished watering the trees and then used the FDR2584 to mow 4.5 acres. Supposedly three days of rain coming so maybe I can get a break from watering.
Mow once a week for approximately 3 hours. Water 3 times a week for 2.5 hours each time. I'd sooner just mowbut the grass will grow and you will have to cut it again!
Opposite for me. Never cared to mow although I did appreciate the finished product. Now, it's tractor time with no phone so I get some time to unwind and not have to think. I started with 2 acres, went to 6 and then 9. Our new neighbor may want me to do his which will add another 2 acres if we come to an agreement.I have gotten to the point in my life where I don't enjoy mowing. That doesn't mean that I don't do it, but I don't enjoy it as much as I used to. I recently bought a FDR1660 and it makes it a little faster, but I still am a little uncomfortable cutting the field when I drop a front wheel into a gopher hole. I am thinking of taking the front loader off and putting front weights on the tractor.
I did mine 2 years ago and was pissed to have to buy something that should have been there from the assembly plant, That latch that was there was crap.I stopped by the local Kubota dealer this afternoon, picked up all of the parts I'd ordered for the right side door handle, bought a Kubota hat and completed the swap. More parts to add to the scrap pile.
I'm getting the flail back on the MX this afternoon and will be cutting down some very tall Canadian thistles along the lower driveway later today.
Before.

I won't argue with you about that. Kubota could have added $300 to the cost of the tractor to cover the handle and I would have still bought an MX6000. I accessed the controls in the cab twice this afternoon using the right side door as I was getting the flail back on the tractor. It's a game changer and something I should have done when I bought the tractor almost 3 years ago. Better late than never I suppose.I did mine 2 years ago and was pissed to have to buy something that should have been there from the assembly plant, That latch that was there was crap.
I don't know about the 70s, but I bought 42s on an Ebay store for $74 shipped. They packed em in the "it fits, it ships" box for USPS.Nice weight rack. I need to do the same. Where did you find the weights ?? Thanks.

I have added controls behind the machine to raise and lower the 3tp hitch and to control the hydraulic top link I also added a adjustable lift arm on the left side to match the one on the right with these mods I don't need to get into the tractor at all anymore to hook anything up back there. I really wish these things were options from Kubota. I wouldn't have minded paying extra to get the features I wanted.I won't argue with you about that.

Thanks for your thread about this upgrade. It was useful for sure.
For most implements I use a QH10 or QH15 on the 3-point so don't need to be at the rear of the cab trying to connect the lift arms and top link. That said, controls to adjust the lift arms from outside the tractor would be a nice upgrade for sure when connecting to implements that aren't QH compatible. Would you be willing to share some photos of your setup?I have added controls behind the machine to raise and lower the 3tp hitch and to control the hydraulic top link I also added a adjustable lift arm on the left side to match the one on the right with these mods I don't need to get into the tractor at all anymore to hook anything up back there.
