    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    An absolutely beautiful day to get some Kubota seat time here in central Wisconsin. I have my 2400 lbs of sodium bentonite in the tractor shed ready to line my small wildlife watering hole. Today spent a couple of hours continuing my dead scot pine removal with the grapple.

    Picture of your tractor on your trailer

    Cleaning up my photo album and figured I would post these tractor/trailer pictures. 1st. A friend came up from MO to deer hunt and we worked out a swap/trade deal for my 4 foot King Kutter rotary mower. I ended up with his Land Pride 6ft cutter. He brought up a side x side so had the trailer...

    Mounting and using action cams on our Kubotas.

    Thanks for the suggestion on the Ram ball mounts. I was not aware of Ram and they certainly seem to have a mount for just about any mounting scenario. I get the connection now :). A bit like the tortoise about to give a ride on his back to a snail, telling him to "here we go, HANG ON! "

    Mounting and using action cams on our Kubotas.

    Henro, I am sorry about your limited imagination :);). While not the point of the post I do have a specific reason for wanting to mount a action cam on my tractors. mikester, I have a sarcastic sense of humor (gets me trouble at times) and maybe thats why I do not get the connection of your...

    Mounting and using action cams on our Kubotas.

    I purchased a cheap action cam to mount on my tractors. The camera I purchased is an SJCAM M20 that has electronic or digital stabilization which from the attached video is pretty worthless. Wondering if any you guys are running action cameras and what type of budget hardware works well for...

    Early whitetail browsing by the pond and Sodium Bentonite question

    I had considered a pond liner which this size pond would lend itself to. Call me stubborn(runs in the family:confused:) but I really want to exhaust the more natural solutions before I go the liner route.

    Early whitetail browsing by the pond and Sodium Bentonite question

    I agree working it in is going to be key. This time of year I can accomplish that. If it gets later in the spring early summer the pond always has standing water. The place that I will be purchasing from does have a much better price than the per ton price I was quoted shipped from Wy in the...

    Early whitetail browsing by the pond and Sodium Bentonite question

    I have seen ducks used and also hogs to seal ponds. . I am afraid if I put out domestic ducks such as Muscovy's the coyotes would eat well that night! :)

    Early whitetail browsing by the pond and Sodium Bentonite question

    I have watched several videos on Damit Pond Sealer. The thing that made me hesitant was Shalex's statement in one that said the product works much better with large ponds due to the water pressure forcing the product into voids. If it worked the price would be very favorable compared to bentonite.

    Early whitetail browsing by the pond and Sodium Bentonite question

    I am in central Wisconsin and this bentonite is from Wyoming. I had checked last year into having two 2000 pound super sacks delivered from one of the facilities in Wy. Two was their minimum purchase. Last year including shipping that would have cost about $1700. I hate to see what current...

    Early whitetail browsing by the pond and Sodium Bentonite question

    Thanks! And I will document with pictures. It took a bit of searching to even find bentonite locally here in the quantity pricing that made it feasible. As fried1765 pointed out this is more of an watering hole and even with a small the amount of water it holds I find it amazing the attraction...

    Early whitetail browsing by the pond and Sodium Bentonite question

    This pond is about 740 sq foot but I do have a pretty good layer of clay in the center that holds water and is about 10 foot in diameter . And yes this one is small and a learning project for me. I hope to dig a pond roughly 7 or 8 times the size in the future.

    Early whitetail browsing by the pond and Sodium Bentonite question

    I dug a small wildlife pond two summers ago in my mostly sandy soil in a low spot that does have some layers of clay. The pond is fed with run-off, rain , and soon to be harvested rainwater from my tractor shed to the tune of 425 gallons per inch of rain fall. I am ordering up a ton of sodium...

    Quick attach carnage

    Thanks for sharing. Glad your dealer and KTAC are going to take care of replacement for you . Early on with my tractor I had a lever get unlatched by a branch as I was grappling. Not sure if that is what caused yours to come unlatched on the one side, but I sure do keep a eye on the levers now.
