Get as big a display as you can stand in your cab it helps the skid steer came with a 7" display and it's really small but it does help a lot too.
Do you mean a rear view camera and display? I need to get the camera hooked up on my truck first. Such a pain hooking up to trailers without a rear camera. I know, I know ... folks have done it for decades without a camera, but it's just so much easier when you can see the ball and receiver.

A little waste line repair job today for the little Orange.

Here's the reaction I get when I show up with little Orange...meaning, no hand digging!

yes a good quality wireless camera and display in the cab. Also I understand the need for one in your vehicle after having them in the vehicles I could never go without them it's so much easier hooking up trailers.

Thanks for the info. I'm curious because I'm new to owning an EA Wicked 55 grapple and after it's last use have it stored in the open position, face down, cylinders retracted, on a pallet just as it was shipped.

Why would storing the grapple open with the cylinders retracted create more pressure in the cylinders then storing it closed with the cylinders extended?
Pressure on the gate in either direction is pressure on the opposite side of the cylinder. If it's wide open, and something's trying to open it more, it will apply pressure to the head end of the cylinder. If something's trying to close it (the weight of the gate) then the pressure will be on the rod end. Just loosen the JIC connection at the Tee, and you might lose a thimble full of fluid, teaspoon full at the max, to relieve the pressure enought to allow the poppet to be pressed in. Don't forget to tighten the JIC fitting back up, or you'll see that very quickly.

A bunch of little jobs today but not a bunch of pics 😕. Moved a shelf and drawer unit to the unoccupied house where we’re making the shared use shop/storage area for the property. That was the last of the storage solutions for the shop so it’s time to finish the organizing project.

Also had this brand new safe with electronic lock that simply didn’t work. To the manufacturer’s credit, they quickly sent a new circuit board. That didn’t work, so they sent a new everything electronic except the relay that actuates the lock. Got that working today and moved it to the house where it will reside.

Also pulled up a couple of neglected, overgrown bushes, grappled them to the brush pile, and backfilled the holes.

Not much. I’ve been set up for winter operations for quite a while, but have summer diesel (with winter additive) in the tractor.

Got winter diesel (I hope) last weekend. Topped off tractor and let it run for a while to mix fuels.

I’ve never gelled, but my neighbor has. Not a fun experience…..

I was admiring your Harbor Freight Quick Hitch. If you want to see something that will make it much friendlier to use, have a look at THESE PHOTOS . I have an LX-2610SU, which is a much higher platform on a larger tractor, so getting on and off the tractor is a bit more work than your lil' fella. My HF Quick Hitch practically guides itself into place now. Getting rid of the sharp corners on those hooks made a huge difference. I have the telescoping and pinned stabilizers, too. That makes a huge difference too. Pull one hair-pin and one positioning pin on one side, and bingo, I can swing the arms like I want. No turnbuckles, no set up time. I marked which holes I need to use for Cat 0 and Cat 1 attachments so swapping between sizes is a blink.

Swapped the grapple for the snow pusher and put the blower on. Greased and lubed the blower and loader.

Between Friday and Saturday I did a complete service on our B2650. I changed all the oils and filters.
I added a second rear function and a third function for the front.
The hardest part was getting the loaded tire back on by myself. I parked the tractor too close to my toolbox. When I moved something in front of my toolbox the pallet jack moved and dump the tire over.
I had a hard time getting it back up on my own.
Finished all the work on the tractor and moved on to the snow blower.
I modified a cylinder to operate the top of the shoot. Tomorrow after church I will go put the cylinder back together and get it hosed up.

Moved some hay around that my wife had sitting in our garage......had the forks on so might as well. Then while I had some extra eyes here at the house for the holiday, my buddy and I moved the Winnebago TT from the side of the house into the new Morton Building, I move it around with the ball/receiver on my pallet fork rack. Works well for the TT and the Horse Trailer. Then we proved I can get the TT, the Ram and the Kubota in the new building which made me feel good.

Once I was done with the FEL for a while I swapped things over to the snowblower for the season, my Thanksgiving weekend tradition. I also put the box blade up by the Morton along with the cart and the back blade is there for easy winter access (can't get the tractor into the building easily with the back blade).

You can be, but it is just going to take time and patience to get there. Do it now while you are young enough because when you get old, you lose the desire and patience it takes to be inclined to start a project. Twenty years ago I would tackle almost any project, now, not that inclined to start. Old age has a way of telling you what you once were able to do, but are no longer able to do.

Hey everyone! Just finishing up a complete tear down restore on the newest to me machine in my tool box, b6100D 4wd.
Installed new hoses on a new radiator, and touching up some bolts that didn’t get painted with everything else.
I have owned a 6100E for a few years now and it’s next in line for a restoration.

LMAO. Too late. Already retired ! Always worked long hours and or two jobs. Handy enough to do the basics but never had time to really get good at it.
Thinking about taking a welding class at local community college just to play.
If you look in my basement you tell which pipes I sweated and which one a plumber did. Neither leak but man is one set really ugly.

Well my philosophy is, it's not how long you live but rather how long can you do the things you want to do. Life is an adventure. Never stop learning!

I used it to load a BX2672 snow plow blade into the new owner's truck, and yesterday I used it to load a BX5455 Snowblower into the new owner's trailer. It is a good week because I have been divesting myself of excess Kubota items.
