Here's a couple of marbled of geckos that I disturbed yesterday while moving bricks.

Thanks - I was sort of joking. I might make these one day, but for now, I have some steel mesh with a lump of railway iron tied to it. I'll drag it over a few times.

Bonehead Ever looked at alternatives for digging a couple of shallow parallel trenches ? I stopped for a break from moving bricks. When I took off again I left the ballast box on the 3 point hitch down - oops. I even thought "it's struggling up this slope a bit more than usual, better engage...

Thanks for this info. Interesting that it's quite different to what's in the Kubota manual.

Thanks, but I'm already at the 180 kg lift limit for the 3 point hitch according to the manual.

Cleared out one side of the shed so I could get the tractor through as this is the only access for the tractor to the back of the shed. Started moving a stack of about 600 old bricks that have been stacked at the back of the shed for about 15 years. One layer of 50 bricks on a pallet weighs...

Thanks. Haven't tried the chainsaw in it yet - not sure if I'll put it in this box or somewhere else. At the moment I've only got a strap, couple of chains and a tow hitch in the box. Other things will find their way in their as I find I need them.

Thanks. It opens backwards so it can open all the way and avoid the ROPS frame. I'm thinking I'll add a support so the opened lid can become a tray. If I find I don't like it I'll take it off and put it on so they lid opens "forwards".

Haha, definitely a project, never an excuse

Thanks. This thread covers the press build.... https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/diy-press-brake.77403/ Let me know if you want more info.

Had some steel left over from another project so I turned it into a toolbox. It slides on and off and is held in place with a couple of pins - easy to fit and remove if needed. I added a couple of new support tubes about 6" higher than the original ones as the ballast box hit the tool box when...

You're not alone there

Thanks.

Thanks. Yeah, when I fix the curl/dump problem and start moving stones, dirt..... I plan on filling it with bricks. Had to google Detroit Lions. They don't come up much around here.

Ballast box done. At 70 kg with no bricks in it yet, the steering is already lighter.
