Put the edge tamers on and moved some snow. Truth be told, we only had about 2 inches of snow last night and really didn't need to clear driveway as it's going to warm up tomorrow, but boys will be boys!

Even if there’s only an inch or 2, I go out and plow it off, I enjoy it. And, the driveway will be nice and dry when I get home

I work on a lot of Onan generators. I use my B3200 to lift them and move them where I want to work on them. I throw a chain around the front loader and hook it up to the lifting eye of the generator.
These tractors are a life saver to a 67 year old guy like me that has had 4 back surgeries! I call my B3200, "My Ball Bearing Jackass". I tell my wife that the tractor pays for itself EVERY time I use it to LIFT and Move stuff.

A while back I put LED headlight bulbs in my BX2230, and while they are a lot brighter than the originals, the electric fuel pump is on the same circuit and they would flash like strobe lights before the engine started, and still pulsed with it running. Looking at the wiring diagram, the lights and the fuel pump are on the same circuit and same fuse, causing the problem.
I have a bunch of the common 12 volt automotive relays, so I decided to wire up a separate circuit to power the lights.
I have extra terminals that go in the fuse block, so I ran a 14 ga. wire from the positive battery post to the fuse block and one from the other fuse terminal to the relay common terminal. Since the headlights are all that is on that circuit I put in a 10 amp fuse. Then I ran a wire from one of the coil terminals on the relay to the negative battery post and a wire from the other relay coil terminal to the terminal on the headlight switch where the wire to the lights was attached. Then the wire to the lights was attached to the normally open relay terminal, and it was done. I secured everything with some tyraps and put the batter cover back on.

Now, the headlights are solid on with no hint of pulsing with the engine stopped or running.
NICE!!! Now you need to get that JD blade project going... ;)

The freezing rain stopped about 2 PM, so I went out and plowed the driveway clear of 3/4" of slush and ice. Just as I was finishing off, I noticed that the ground was starting to freeze. Put the tractor away, and got the shovel to clear the stairs and in front of the front door, when I realized that I missed a section where the cars were parked. Took the tractor out again, and cleaned that area up.
When they were talking about snow a couple of days ago, I took the blade off and put on the blower. Last night they updated the forecast so this morning I went out in the rain to swap the blower for the blade. Sure glad that I can do it quickly after 15 years. :D

Did a little firewood today, I had two 60" and one 40" log left from the other day to block up and split. The trees have a coating of ice one them and sure glistened in the sun. Wish the picture would show it better.

Loaded the tractor up and took it to the dealership to get the 3rd function valve installed. Hope to pick it up on Saturday.

During the loading process, everything, including the trailer, covered with 7 inches of snow with a little ice. I stepped out of the tractor and onto the trailer and out went my feet. Fell off the trailer onto the ground which was parked next to a small decline, which I ended up rolling about halfway down. Checked to make sure everything worked, walked back up the hill looking like the abdominal snowman and there stood my dad. He told me to quit goofing around, we needed to get the tractor to the dealership before 5 when they closed.

Nice to see he was concerned if I was injured or not.

Yep. It wasn't a good day. I started the day with putting the SUV in a ditch and had to be towed out.

Although, all things considered, it could of been a much worst day, so be thankful everything was minor and nothing suffered major damage except my pride.

Well with the colder weather coming and a bit of the white stuff showing up yesterday I figured it was time to check all the fluids, start her up and go for a spin. I knew I hadn't used her in a while but when I got in to start her up the air conditioning was on full. Happy to say she worked like new just have to pick up some fuel today.

It is completely from a lack of trying.

My only complaint with my b2650cab was the lack of rear lighting. So I picked up some led units and installed them. Now when I'm plowing in the dark I can actually see where my blade is. Fyi there is a lot going on in the roof of that cab lol.

You really need to shrink that picture down. It's so big I have to scroll both directions to see it, and by the time I get to the end I forgot what the beginning was!!:D:D

This is the first real day of getting to use the grapple. I was very impressed how the grapple worked.

Along with moving some brush and trees, moved some old poles to a washout to slow/prevent it from growing.



Even though not a Kubota, we also changed dad's MF from a pin on to a quick attach and he got to put on his new bucket.
