What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

[RCW]

Rigged up a red-neck rubber-tired tree mulcher…..in very small scale……

I literally could fill a tractor trailer with brush and downed trees. This is a start for small brush.

It’s amazing how much just chipping it magically shrinks it and then how much faster it rots as a chip pile. We had probably three tractor trailer loads when we got the WC-68. Literally chipped away at it over quite a few days here and there until it was all in two chip piles. Gave away a half dozen pickup loads of chips to friends who wanted them for mulch and the rest rotted in two piles that the middle of was so hot they’d burn your hand in the dead of winter. Have fun cleaning up!

NCL4701 - - Thanks.

I have some stuff that’s 30” in diameter. Obviously this little chipper won’t fix that.

Good thing is bigger stuff we can burn in our summer bonfires.

Like you said, I can hopefully knock the big piles down into much smaller piles, and produce some firewood in the process.

My hood and brush guard on the little girl is not much different. I am sorry for the character lines.

Sorry, but having bent many things in, out, down, but very few things UP: how did you do that?

I was was trying to save a trip hauling a overloaded bucket full of firewood up onto the porch…piece rolled off the top and dropped and the guard just perfect enough to release all the tension in the stamped welded brush guard and sprung into the hood…a million to one shot doc (fusilli jerry if you are a Seinfeld fan)I was just stupid…it’s that simple.

Just about have the fel finished up. Not today but yesterday and monday.Monday. have to mount the diverter valve for a grapple, run and get the hydraulics hooked up. Then tear down, clean up and paint.

Had a tree in the grapple, was hanging all over the place, rear tire ran over the top and smacked the hood before I could stop it.

Better the hood than the head is what I say. Have a nice large dent in my B2410 hood, no idea how it got there either. Thats the only damage in 20 years though, so I can live with it.

I got the JD 1209 MOCO out Sunday and started doing repairs on it. Found out the PTO was way too short, don't know how the PO was using it since there are set dimensions for hooking it to any tractor. I built a new PTO last night, have to put the guards on it still, but to measure I hooked up and drove it around right turns, left turns, straight ahead in transport and cut modes to size the shaft.

It was 90* here yesterday, that cab AC is NICE! LOL

Went to start and there is no key. Must have knocked it out getting off tractor. Key fell between the floor board and frame into a deep pile of red cedar chips and saw dust. On hands and keys trying to find the sucker.
A little bling added to keep key. Sure hope the wife does no get jealous.

Exactly. I should have stopped, dropped and repicked up the tree, but I was glad to have a hold of it after ripping it out.

Today I strapped my backpack blower into my BX bucket and proceeded to blow sticks and winter debris off of part of my grass…getting ready for mowing next week with the new Kubota ZT

We need pictures of this

Didn’t think of pics…all done now. Not hard to imagine though…set blower on bucket, secure with ratchet strap, secure nozzle in an applicable direction, and BLOW! Of course had to get off the seat and start the blower first…
Best part is you can tilt the bucket for maximum blow (angled more to the ground’for stubborn debris) and also tilt the bucket up for distance blowing. My blower is a very powerful Redmax blower that I used to use for my lawn mowing business.

Got the RFM out of the shed and onto the three point hitch. If the weather holds I'll probably give it a spin Friday or Saturday.

Dry well installation today with the B2650. Got down 2 feet and hit some of the nastiest grey clay I've seen in a while. You know, the stuff that you use to line a pond. It was like heavy putty.

I tried digging deeper to see if it was just a clay lens. Nope. There is no way water from a sump was going to get thru that layer.

So the hole got widened to 4x7' and filled with 3 ton of stone. Not sure if it will actually work, but we'll just have to see.

I didn't bother taking any pics of this one besides a small pile of gunk that I dug out.

I decided to get another set of LED lights to replace the rear ones that aren't quite up to par. I initially bought 3 pair for the B2410, the two I had not used I put on the rear of the L4060, but they are more spot focused than floods, so they aren't doing too good a job. The other set are full floods and they light up a lot of area, so got them prepped with the new plugs, so an easy R&R.

I now have 4 pairs of these between the two tractors, and will find some other use for the spots.

I tested out my first mowng with my new Kubota Z422 zero turn. I love it!
Wow! This machine is going to make mowing fun again! Up and down my slopes like a champ…

First bush hogging of the mule’s pasture this season.

I used the Rotary cutter making a path around the perimeter of our fields today for the first time. The 2.5" wheel spacers really made a huge difference. I went through some areas that would have definitely been high on the pucker factor without them. There was only 1 hill that I went up that drug the rpms's down in medium range. As long as I keep after the paths, the lx2610 and the rcr1260 are going to do me real well.

Lost a pin holding the right side lift arm on the tractor. The lift arm came off and 3ph would not raise because arm was between pin it goes on and the metal above.

Had to remove the QH and all to get the brush hog free because could not lower enough to get the top fork free. Easier to remove QH rather than mess with the top hook.

Left brush hog there. Won't be back to get it until Tuesday when the rains are supposed to quit. Had started and got us a bit wet.

Will reattach lift arm and QH tomorrow or Saturday; I guess.

Had a pin came out on one of one of the 3 JDs, but the lift arm did not come off.

Brush cut a few acres today, I love this RCF2060!
