What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

[Biker1mike]

No snow, nothing on the to do list, plenty of time on my hands.
Tractor has been sitting so I fired it up just to keep everything lubed and ready if needed,
Should be ice fishing but there ain't no ice.

Tried to load video but it just looped a black screen.

Found my no start issue. Cylinders 2 and 3 have scoring on the walls.

Thought I was going to have snow to blow when I got home this afternoon but rain took care of that. We're probably going to be green again tomorrow. Definitely not the usual weather for eastern Canada.

How many hours on the engine?

Not really sure, it was replaced about 2 years ago….

Sounds exactly like what is happening down here in Maine, very odd weather, even today we got more rain, freezing rain, and a bit of snow, with a bit more rain.. no white stuff on the ground, even on the grass.

Also, I love PEI, such a cool place!

On topic - I did add the BXpanded Under Armor to my BX, seems well built and easy to install. For those of you that do have this on your tractor, and use a rear mounted snowblower, or other rear mounted PTO driven things, is there a way to lock the plate in the up position? I have the cutting length set to the highest setting, allowing it to sit a few inches below the frame, but it'd be nice if there was a way to keep it in the up (top) position?

Cleaned out the zerk cups and torqued roof bolts, after taking top off a couple months ago. Found 3/9 needed torqued to spec’s.

There's one setting beyond the "0" on the knob, marked "T". That should keep the skid plate in the uppermost position.

Is it REALLY necessary to use a torque wrench for the steering wheel?

I tried doing this, watched a video where the guy said to raise the PTO's up which would allow it to go into higher settings, but I can't seem to get it into the zero (0) setting, which I believe is the 'Top" on the mower knob.

Same here today, tomorrow and then warming up and rain again.

I was able to get it up into the top position - had to pull the skid off the mower riser - once at the top position, I was able to 'force it' into accepting with the pins. Couldn't really figure out what was the sticking point, but, its on there now.

Just planted red potatoes useing my " hiller"

Wow…. I live in the wrong place.

Don’t know any different.

Was talking to an acquaintance about Maple Syrup.

Most folks start tapping trees in about a month….we count on snow and below freezing temperatures for a while in advance of the sugaring season.

Maple season is often February to April, as Mother Nature dictates.

Cut and split some firewood today.

One of the logs had a lot of blue in it. Was wondering what piece of metal was in it, found barbed-wire.

 

[Magicman]

Thankfully you were bucking and splitting rather than sawmilling. That wire would have cost a blade.

The blue is your clue.

 

[utkdoc]

Do you not feel a grab when you're bucking? I always thought that would be a scary event when it inevitably happens to me.

Doesn't appear to have hit it with the saw. Looks like it was exposed by splitting.

Buried my Beast of a GSD, 110lbs, only 8 years old. Was chasing coyotes and his normal sized brother last night, healthy and no signs of trauma. Very unexpected. He is getting an honored burial not just "Dad's Ash hole", hope the same for myself someday.

Ouch, so sorry to hear. It’s so hard and sad to lose a pet.
