Got the box blade out of the shed and put the blower in its place. Probably the last job the LX2610 will do since my LX3310 will be here one day next week.
What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

I'll take the bait ... it's for shaking the snow off the roof?

Did some Spring maintenance. It was time for the 200 HST Filter change. My nephew jumped right in there and knocked it out quick and easy. Checked the tire torque, loader torque, cleaned the air filter. Made sure everything was lubed. Hooked up the mower, lubed the PTO shaft, and greased the joints. Finally, got that all done and was able to do the first cutting of the year.

Yes, it's my snowzooka. Press up against the shelter cover and let rip. Way easier than pounding with my fist! I have a go just before heading out and snowblowering the pileup of snow from the roof that's now along the walls.
I think that's the best way. Tapping into the existing wiring is usually asking for trouble. Of course, if there's a factory dedicated accessory circuit just waiting there for you, unused, and you know it's ampacity, go for it.
Otherwise, your own fuse box, relays and switches as needed. It's pretty hard to go wrong that way.

So this was hanging over one of our trails and had been for a few weeks. Last time out we got another snag nearby cleared out, but wife got one of those headaches so bad you throw up so we had to cut out before getting this one. Had to pull back toward the end of the ridge because of the way it was stuck. No room to get the tractor in there for a direct pull. A snatch block to reverse pull direction and another to double line pull since we had to pull out a bunch of rigging anyway got the tractor in a clear area well out of fall range.
A short drive popped it the rest of the way off the stump and put it on the ground. A few saw cuts and a couple of grapple loads later, the trail was clear.
While we were doing all that, noticed the female quick connect on the grapple side was leaking again. It started leaking a while back so I changed the o-ring. Since the original was about the consistency of Bakelite, I was hopeful a new o-ring would fix it. It seemed to fix it for a while but today it was dripping a drop about once a second. Off with the old one and took it to the tractor dealer to match for a replacement. I don’t really know what the problem with the old one was but it leaked and the new one doesn’t.
While we were at the tractor dealer noticed they actually have a little bit of unsold stock on the lot. Wife got to looking at a BX1880 for her to use for yard type work. She didn’t want a loader or backhoe, just MMM and 3 point with option for a small rough cut mower on the 3 point. She figured she could use the L if she had a job for a loader. Salesman gave her a quote. Don’t know if she’ll pull the trigger or not but salesman and I both told her if she wants it, go ahead while they have 2 in stock ready to deliver. They’re open until noon tomorrow. Guess I’ll find out the final answer in the morning…
That place must be falling apart! What are you replacing, cast iron, Orangeburg, ?
She has to sleep on that decision as to how much of your money she wants to spend.

Yep. If it makes her happy, I’ll take her back over there with a check book and trailer. She does most of the yard stuff. I tend to stay in the woods and fields unless there’s a request for assistance. If I was her, I would have bought it today.
Possibly she will be a good negotiator and the salesman is hungry for the sale. Ask for a lot and settle for a little. If you don't ask, you will never know how much you might have saved. The worse that he can say is "no, take it or leave it, I don't care". You won't know until you ask. Just make up an excuse for having the trailer with you, so he doesn't think that you only brought it along to take the tractor home. Also, if you are buying it outright, then ask him to order you a Certificate of Origin from the factory. This will prove your ownership in the future.

Old line was cast iron that ran along foundation wall outside. Rather than dig the whole thing up, it was abandoned and new 4" pvc run inside the basement and out front coal cellar wall. Much less digging and mess that way.
This one was in south Allentown, Pa.
Put the mower on for the last time. Can't say I'm disappointed that I won't have to do it again. Topped off the fluids, greased and have it a bath. Next owner can put it right to work.

Feller sounds like a word grandpa would use... "That young feller with his loud music and baggy pants..."
Tractor turned 100 over the weekend.
Saturday I spent several hours working on the driveway and private road. It's been completely wet up until that point. I was able to make it not the worst I've ever seen the road before. Box blade, borrowed my brothers land plane a little later, was still clumpy so I went over it with the rake. I can't wait until it ACTUALLY dries up, but at least it's driveable at a reasonable speed now - we were looking at a couple miles per hour before that. Had about 30 family members over on Sunday, had to do something.
Sunday I got on the little kubota and pulled the yard sweeper around for about 45 minutes. 6 of the aforementioned 30 family members are 10 or younger. Had to have an Easter egg hunt, of course. The dog doesn't make it very far before doing her business. I mean, I can't blame her, I guess. She's 16 years old.
I think I got my money’s worth from that ounce of diesel headed up the hill to the orchard:
- 3/4 bucket of compost
- Tub of biochar
- Bale of straw
- 2x 50# bags of chicken feed
- 2x shovels
- My lazy butt

I know these here feller who cut down some trees yesterday, that was me.
I got some work done over the weekend, racking up the hours on the new tractor. Those pallet forks are a blessing! Built a 5 gallon fuel tank for refueling both tractors, took longer to pour 20 gallons in the tank from 4 cans than it did for the new pump to fill the 13 gallon tank on the tractor. That will be so nice on the B2410 too with the tank fill on the top of the hood.
Got the no till SAYA505 hooked up, adjusted, and ready for planting, then switched out to the 4' rough cut. Man does this new tractor cut grass nice. I have about a tenth of an acre that used to be old hay that was way over grown and it ran through it like butter. The stall guard is great too, would have killed the B2410 a few times, but this one just chugs right through. Already have 10 hours on it and barely did anything.
Mounted a tool box on the back and found a pair of small ammo like cans that fit perfectly in the cab against the front glass and don't interfere with the pedals. Perfect for storing small items and easy to get to when outside the cab.
So much work, so little time.

I was able to use the "new" Oregon wood splitter to process the last of the maple that I cut a few years ago. It was nasty, knotty stuff and sure doesn't look good in a pile, but it burns well.
The MX is such a useful tractor and it was handy to move the 16ft dump trailer out of the way, move two pallets of concrete, pull the wood splitter down to the chicken coupe of a barn, pull the 10ft dump trailer once all the split wood was loaded up and move the concrete back under cover.
