What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

[NCL4701]

Sorry, only photos are pre-job staging because the job today wasn’t mine. A friend who lives about 5 miles away had a decent size tree come down in a storm a couple weeks back. Out of respect for him and his family, didn’t take any pics of the actual job.

It was a yard tree since it was planted so it was one of those trees that looked like a giant bush; all limbs and not much trunk. Loaded the stump grinder on his pickup and left the forks up there with them.

Roaded the tractor to his place with the chipper and grapple. About six hours with him, his adult son, and me got it cleaned up except the final raking.
Ground the stump and a couple more while the stump grinder was handy. Came home with the stump grinder on the tractor and chipper on his truck.

They fed me lunch and I took about 8 bottles of water from them, so that was nice.

Took me a few minutes to find the SMV triangle. I don’t road it much and having it on there it’s impressive how incredibly in the way for a wide variety of things from seeing what you’re doing with the 3 point to accessing the pencil box, I mean the tool box. It was on while we were on the road and not one minute longer.

Got the job done. No injuries. No breakdowns. Good day.

Nice to have helpers for sure. Where did you get the led light strip that fits perfectly in the grill guard? It’s just one of these from Amazon Limited-time deal: Nilight - 60005C-A 20Inch 126W Spot Flood Combo Led Light Bar Off Road Lights Boat Lighting Fog Light Driving Lights LED Work...

To finish up post #16,988, from Oct 24th:
I finished filling in the dig from my new stop & waste, and yard hydrant.

I see all my pictures and text didn't load in my other post.

Went to my uncle's 3 hours away to help cut down a few trees and clean up some brush and logs. The picture doesn't do the piles justice. Very pleased with the BTR for both ballast and a rolling toolbox.

Some more leaf removal with the grapple. This time I have some pictures. Small pile of leaves

Grab a grapple full

Drop them on the trailer

Smash then down

Took the loader and grapple back off. The furniture dollies make moving the loader reasonably easy. It's tucked into the corner pretty good but I think it's sticking out too far so I may turn it 90°.

How long does that take? I've never removed my loader.

Less than 5 minutes. This is only the second time that I took it off.

Winter ready again.

Your tractor has something green growing on the backend.

That is an infectious fungus that only orange paint will cure.

I'd say chances of them getting new paint are slim to none

Started cutting some of my fir which is plagued with butt/root rot. I cut the rot off and if there is enough left I can make some stud wood logs.

GROSS
It appears gender crisis is a real thing for tractors too nowadays.

Chipped more bush, added plastic ammo can to replace factory took box, and a new grill guard and mirrors from 5-11, good stuff!

What would those poor 12 Deere's think if the were orange? They would probably have a identity crisis

Got nice warm weather today (50’s) so hopped on the tractor. Been 2 weeks so had to scratch that itch. Ran the read blade up and down the driveway to help smooth it out from the class II I spread during the summer. With blade turned around, helped not digging up the driveway.

Quick job - changed the fuel filter. HST and Hyd Suction filters on order, UDT2 sitting on the shelf waiting. Contemplating how to run the small Offroad LED light on my snowblower dishcharge chute. Tap into the front cab lights, or separate switch on the joystick?

Sized up and figured out a plan to carry a weight pack on the 3ph. A trip to TS for a couple bottom pins and I'll get to fabricating.

I also worked on my 3rd go round of the mounting bracket for an inline water seperator.

Separate switch through a relay. Completely separate from your tractors harness.

Batt to Relay to Lights. With a switch interrupt. I personally wouldn't put it on the joystick but on the lower dash with quick disconnect plugs between the blower at the frame.

This evening was a first for me…used the big girl for a mobile communications platform.

I think this is worthy of an explanation.
