What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

[fried1765]

Me me me mine mine mine bigger bigger better and more expensive than your inferior blade! RCW you did it now folks are gonna talk about ya! Iffin your gonna roll with the big boys you gotta go expensive! LOL! Its not a bull dozer blade! He's using it to plow snow! And on a BX mind you! It will work perfectly fine and is made of some quite stout material. I haven't bent mine pushing snow yet! Oh brother where is that roll eyes smile?

I guess you missinterpreted my comments about the Speeco, and King kutter blades.
To put it simply: They are both junk compared to the EA blade.
From my viewpoint, the issue has absolutely nothing to do with either being bigger or more expensive!
It is about ease of use, and design/build quality!
EA (+Rhino?+ Land Pride?+Dirt Dog?) wins....hands down!

Thank you for pointing out just several of my many faults!
Even at 81 years old, I frequently learn from people like you!

Soil line repair today...

I’ve been around crews that do your kind of thing for many, many years.

You’ve got the best lookin’, best-dressed fashion plate-type crew I’ve ever seen!

I think of 30 years ago, guy with a septic pump-truck doing a tank. Had the suction hose down the tank in one had; and a bologna sandwich in the other. Chomping away at that puppy.

He wasn’t dressed as nice, either!

Drilled new back blade for a pipe stand.

Am painting stand parts black… hopefully I’ll remember to raise/lower if a contrasting color.

For what it’s worth, Caterpillar Yellow looks close. Don’t know why I have it, but was on the shelf. Had the Black also.

Had my rear finish mower dropped of from the dealer. Wish it came 3 months ago but everything is out of order. They got rear blades, mowers, and tillers a few days ago. At least they will be ready for spring



I may give it a test run this weekend if it isn't raining.

You can always use it to chop up some leaves for the fall time lol

Thanks...I guess . It could be because my wife is the GM of the company (but, she didn't pick out those new blues) ? I'm only a hired hand pinch-hitter trying to do their "in-house" digs for them when I can. I have a real (desk ) job besides this so, I only do the smaller, less difficult one-day jobs for them. It saves them some dollars doing them internally rather than having to pay subs. And I try to leave the jobs looking better than any of the subs would. I see that as a reflection on the company, and again...the wife/GM thing.

But, thanks for the kind words. I just hope that it's not too many pictures to post that it becomes nauseating. I'm only trying to show some examples of what you can accomplish with "small" machines.

Awesome. I have to ask...did you close all the windows in the cab before you picked it up?

Luckily it just got pumped out, you can see my wife on the side there waiting to stink it up

No pics, partially so as not to offend. Bow season on white tails opened a few weeks ago here. Dad still enjoys the process with the cameras, feeding, etc. and can still use the crossbow. He gets them on the ground and I get them up and process them as he’s past that part of it. We split the meat so works out for both of us.

The loader on the Kubota has made retrieval from remote corners of the property much easier than the pre-Kubota process of either wrestling onto a 4 wheeler and strapping down; or tying on the pond scoop behind the 9N and brake steering with the front wheels off the ground and the pond scoop dragging on the steep trails coming back from the hinterlands where the wild things live. Now just slide them in the bucket and the hydraulics do the lifting. No straps needed. No front wheels in the air.

Two so far this year. Might be enough with just three of us here. Will see after the second one is all vacuum packed this weekend. If it isn’t enough plenty of time left in the season.

Just greased the fel and grapple. Used the grapple yesterday in the rear woods to continue my cleanup there. I am removing large rocks and small trees to open the area up. The goal is to be able to box blade it all and really clean it up.

I have to laugh when I think how I did this same process in the woods in front of our house, before grapple. I used the bucket and box blade. It took so much longer to do the same work!

Coming up on 400 hours and big service. I have mixed feelings about doing it. On the one hand its fun to dig in and do it. On the other, when I acquired the tractor just a year ago it had 260 hours on the clock. The 1st thing I did was the 400 hour service to it. Although the previous owner claimed it was serviced regularly and I have seen no reason to doubt that, it just seemed like the right thing to do. Sort of starting from a known point. . .

Poking fun, but just a little. The work looks like it's done very well. Good on you guys.

I enjoy the pics.

I have a friend since retired from dirt-work. He did everything with small Kubota TLB's 20+ years ago. He did lots of drainage work, water/sewer laterals, small fuel tanks, etc.

First time I was around a Kubota.

Don't recall Kubota models, but he could get places a Case 580 wouldn't go. TLB's were common back then, not many mini- or midi-excavators in use.

Put the bolt on hooks to work again

 

[fruitcakesa]

Getting ready to cut some pine so I finally reset my top link and lower arms on the 3ph to get max lift and hoist the winch high enough to skid the 36- 40 inch butt logs and get them off the ground.
Also I mounted grab hooks on the lower pulley mounts to hook the big logs to.

After growing up with JD and MF tractors, I recently purchased my first Kubota, an L4060 Cab Limited, then started adding things back including front and rear work lights, exterior mirrors, cruise control, stationary seat switch plus an AM/FM radio. It was all as easy as others have mentioned. Once you unbolt and raise the roof cap, the front work lights and radio install were a snap. I'm not sure if it's proper to mention specific dealerships on here, so let me just say that if all the Kubota parts people are as helpful and courteous as Michael B in Elizabethtown, PA, Kubota has a good thing going.

I used to hunt a lot. Still have all the tools.

Something I’ve learned since is a man that knows men that hunt usually does pretty okay too….

Especially if the hunter men aren’t fans of venison….
