What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

[The Evil Twin]

For a moment there, I thought you had orange wrenches.

Beatiful day here, upper 60's and full sun.

Completed the 800 hour service today on the MX. As with most equipment I load it up on my flat bed. I dont have to crawl up underneath for drain plugs and all the filters are waist to chest high. The only time I need to be on the trailer is to fill up oils. Just took a few hours to complete.

I like that idea for the gear lube. I have the same sprayer container on a shelf used once several years ago. What are you using for a valve on it?

Yes sir, thanks.

I just release pressure, it's gear oil, only a few drops will splatter out. Important not too over pressurize the tank cause gear oil is thick and takes some time squeezing it throgh the tubing.

Fast Forward to 3:50, I explain and use the same sprayer tank.

Thanks for the link to your video, you explained it well so I have another small useful project. Should really be a help on things like differentials on the truck and car. Never easy on those.
Thanks again,
Bill

Did a little bit of this today, wet like cement.

 

[Trbarlow]

Added 3 inch spacers from Bro-tek! Great stuff, priced right, and delivery was amazingly fast.


Going to try on the new TryGG chains next!

Tractoring & disking, and another beautiful day!

Did anyone else see the goat?

 

[Cluckaround]

Today I added gauge wheels to my landscape rake. Made a huge difference for smoothing out my rock driveway.

No but I went back and did! Always aware of your surroundings is a good thing!

A little something I picked up in 40 years as a field service engineer in industrial services. If you can think of a factory, chances are, I've been in one. One learns to keep his head on a swivel to watch out for things that can hurt/maim/kill in environments where hearing is moot. As well as environments where there's nothing to hear, but plenty to accelerate one's departure from this world. Attention to detail and knowing what's around you is very important in some of the dangerous places I've been.

The goat was well hidden, though, and blended in very well.

I too did in my work in the trades and volunteer fire department service. But that goat was wearing camo!

I was outside boiling sap all day…while I had some down time I added a temporary lightbar…what a difference. (Yes I am aware the curb feelers are still on). Still need to fine tune the angle but it sure brightens things up a bit. (Headlights are on in both night pics)

Looks good. I want to do the same and wonder how many watts your light bar is or what mfg/model. Thanks.

[rc51stierhoff]

Thanks.

The light is an ‘RBI’ that Tractor Mike markets / sells. Rated at 72 Watts and 5280 Lumens. It is bright. It’s so bright Clark Griswald would be proud. I am going to need to add reverse facing lights (my eyes don’t adjust quick enough from lights on looking forward to looking over shoulder to where it’s dark behind machine when I need to back up.).

A bit of snow blowing this morning moving a few inches off the driveways and parking areas. I got the new seat cover on the Grammer seat in the MX so now have the same brand/color/material covers in both tractors and really couldn't be happier with the product.

Looks like it's chewing on something ... maybe someone's homework!

 

[Siesta Sundance]

The turkeys, cows don't care, the deer take several days to come back after the land has changed. Hogs come when ever, they honey badgers and their give a damn is busted.

Are these seat covers supposed to be that loose? Something like that would annoy me while sitting on them, if it created any kind of bunching - maybe its a non-issue once you're seated, just seems like an ill-fitting seat cover?

I have Grammer air ride seats in both tractors and good luck finding a "fitted" seat cover for them. These covers are generic based on cushion and seat back dimensions but I really like them. The canvas has a sheen to it that makes the cover look less fitted than it is but there's definitely no bunching. The quality of the stitching and material are evident and no doubt I'll get a lifetime of use out of them. Additionally, they're easy to remove if needed.

The worst part of all of this was having to remove the plastic covers off the seat in the M6060. The three cushions were encased in plastic and then screwed to the frame, so I had to unscrew each cushion in order to get all of the plastic off.

Finally got some snow. 5 inches. Got to plow some snow. Being warm last couple of weeks, my gravel driveway was a little soft. Tried to use the snow pusher. Dug into the ground to much. Back blade did the job well. Did my driveway and neighbors too.
