    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    And a big ol' welcome from the Heart of Dixie. Looks like it was at least stored in a shed and isn't so filthy/weathered. Probably a good buy depending on what you paid. Hope you got a good deal on it. You should get a lot of use out of it once you get the engine going. I was a little...

    I now have to clean up my morning coffee which I spewed all over the deck when I read this.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Got the LX out yesterday to move a Bagster out to the street to discard a bunch of scraps from the latest remodeling efforts. Put the grapple on so I'd have a closer hook-up on the straps, and the little LX carried the 8'x4' bag just fine. Loaded back tires and the box-blade hanging on the...

    Certainly have to have high lift blades. Mulching [gator] blades are exactly the opposite of high lift. They're designed to reduce the updraft so that the blades hit the leaves multiple times to chop them up. High lift blades are designed to cut once, and get rid of it. Using gator blades...

    Amazing how many champagne failures a beer budget will prevent one from making. I can afford some pretty neat toys, not that I'll buy them, though. Some would be like killing a housefly with a 20 pound sledgehammer. Kills the fly, though, if you're fast enough with it. Torn/repaired rotator...

    Maybe if it never went over 50 feet, but I certainly wouldn't want trust wooden pads to stop anything that weighs 2000 pounds from 50 MPH. But if you're just moving it across the yard to get it on a lift .....

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    I want to do something similar and have a proper chute on my mower for the bagger. I just need to build a box on my trailer that I can easily dump and run a hose from the mower to the box. I've got a little bitty garden trailer that would probably be a bit easier to maneuver but wouldn't be...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    I find using a bagger on a mower and a small trailer to haul off the chopped up leaves works best for me. I've been composting them in holes in the back yard for 20 years, and still haven't begun to fill up all the holes back there. The bonus is that I usually have night crawlers that look...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    I stumbled up on mine (SMV triangle) the other day while doing a little shed cleaning after a kitchen renovation. Don't even remember when I took it off, but yeah, it was definitely in the way for a lot of things. The last straw was when I was reaching back to pull up the handles on the...

    Amen To those that have, do, and will serve, thank you. All gave some, some gave all.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Sadly, even the slap won’t any help more because stupidity is the acceptable norm these days and any effort to correct or change behavior is offensive. I’m glad I grew up in a time when my parents and teachers (or any adult for that matter) didn’t really care if they offended me, and didn’t...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Best part about it is that it would put some distance between me and some very stupid people that deserve little more than a good slap up side their head to try to shake some of the stupid off. Stupid normally takes care of itself, but there’s an awful lot of it around these days. Not enough...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    C Couldn’t be much more rural than where I grew up. The world is flat, and I can prove it because I used to live right next to falling off. We got yesterday’s paper to read. It was so far back in the sticks, we pumped in sunshine and pumped out moonshine. The directions to my house included the...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Hauled off four more trailer loads of leaves (to an old erosion ditch in my back yard) that I picked up with the little orange machine. “Allowed” the missus to wash both after we finished. Well actually, just kinda like hosing them off, while I swept the shed to get up all the dirt, grass, and...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    It's gonna tuck more. The reason it's tucked is because it bent the stirrup and platform Doesn't have to bend much to nearly disappear under the platform. Here's what I did to mine: I added a couple braces to keep the stirrup where I found it when I bought the tractor. I'm not what most...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    This, six times. No more actual grass cutting, but I’ll be picking up leaves for the next 6 months. The little fella does a good job and is a lot easier to maneuver than the LX. Since mine is the SU, no middle PTO, so can’t run a mowing deck and catcher at the same time. I’m thinking a tow...

    The scary part is the number of people that would use this and still think they have a zero carbon footprint with their EV. There’s your sign!
