What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

[fried1765]

Sewer line job today featured a huge belly in the line. New homeowners purchased this place this past year. Yep. You guessed it. No inspections....

I didn't get many pics of final but it was a long day none the less.

raised the outlet coming out of the foundation by 4" and we just had enough pitch (1/8" / ft) to make the connection. I simply can't believe that this system was working at all with that large of a belly in the line.

on to a water service job tomorrow...

Assuming that you don't bill/get paid, until the job is completed, have you ever had trouble getting payment?
None of my business..... is a valid answer!

And the BX only has two gears, turtle and rabbit, I was in turtle with the treadle peddle barely pressed..

Holy cow. Beside myself with excitement to perform my 50 hr on my L4060. Oil...check. HST filters, I lost way more fluid than 1-I thought I would and 2- way more than what I've seen on these videos. As I'm a rookie, I had 2 gallons on hand for recovery...check. First time removing loader. Watched a ton of videos in preparation.... removing it was fine. Re-installing it, for the very first time... wowzers! and the neighbor (74yr old farmer whos seen and done everything except own a tractor with a removable, or any, loader) telling me what I'm doing wrong to get the loader back on. Between the two of us and some creative language, gotter did! Greased and ready to roll for another 50!

Tilled the in-laws garden yesterday.

Installed a grill guard in preparation for moving a bunch of fallen trees. Should be able to get to them next week since the snow has finally melted and the ground is firming up.

Is this the one? https://www.harborfreight.com/65-hp-plate-compactor-69738.html

i have been thinking about renting one multiple times as I have a lot of landscaping I would like to do over the next few years so not sure if I should rent or buy. I imagine if it’s held up for you using it on the job for a while it will be more than enough for me.

Yep. That's it. Ouch, they went up in price.

No. No issue really. They get half up front then the balance is collected before we leave.

Rain for the next couple days. Got a mow in and a stick.

Water service today. No big deal with the exception of my stupidity...

Start:

done:

evidence of my haste/stupidity:

I dropped the tailgate right off the truck! Luckily another Kubota was within reach for me to pick it and place it back on the truck.

Good simple plan.
Straight job bid?
Never any "extras"?

Still working on mower, but it’s still 10’ from tractor….

Scrubbed up underside with a wire cup on die grinder. Blades sharpened and reinstalled. Greased and gearbox drained standing up. Left a NO OIL note on it to refill before it goes under tractor…..

80 degrees tomorrow, but 40-50’s all next week. Still have some time.

I’m really starting to consider a RFM. My yard isn’t wide open, but betting I could figure one out real quick. Not my first rodeo.

Of course that typically is my luck. Rather have that then buy something and have it go 50% off two days later lol

It was $50 off the other day but that ended too if that helps

Straight bid. Change orders when warranted...extra plumbing work, rock clause and extra thick concrete.

even better, I brush hogged for 2 hours and all fluid levels were on! I've spent 20 years working on high-level equipment (think Intel and Micron, semiconductor manufacturing), never my own rudimentary hydraulic systems. It's great to feel like I've done something (read... my own money and high risk!)

Found a 2 inch gouge in the side wall. Debating on putting a tube in it or replacing it.

Took tire off and brought it to a tire repair place. figured I would check on the possibility of a big patch and a tube. Nope. Too big of cut. Dealer called today to tell me it’s cheaper to buy the tire and rim than just the tire. Ordered it. Will be here next week. I’ll put the rim away in case I bend one in the future.

See if anyone in your area does vulcanizing.

Never heard of that before (had to look it up). I’ll check around. Would places that do retread do this?

Any shop that works on large equipment and truck tires would be the place to look/ask.

Is it really a good idea to do a sidewall vulcanize repair?
