    Implement storage is getting to be a real problem!

    The lumber prices have certainly put the "hold" on a lot of projects. I have my basement being finished off now and I'm glad 2x4's are among the cheapest things still.......but my garage plans will have to wait. For now the tractor is under a truck cover on the side of the garage with the box...

    Implement storage is getting to be a real problem!

    I'm "getting there" with acquisitions. I built a heavy duty "dolly" on casters for the blower as I didn't want that outside all summer. It sits nicely in the garage, The box blade spends most of the time on the 3pt for use and ballast and the rear blade and pallet forks are along the...

    Path to woodshed in winter with BX2822A 55" Commercial Front Snowblower

    I have a 2601 with the 48" Commerical bower and I can attest it will do that without thinking about it. Since I have a gravel drive my blower shoes are up as high as they would go.....that could be an option but if your driveway is paved you will want the shoes set fairly low, so the advice...

    Let's Talk About Rock.....Literally...

    Thanks for mentioning the toot bar. I was wondering.......the baked bucket worked fine for crusher stone but I was thinking it would kinda stink for larger piles of rock and would come out beaten to crap. Looks like a toothbar is on the list........ :-) Plus it will help with some digging...

    Let's Talk About Rock.....Literally...

    Appreciate the local NH terminology. Now the next question will be if I will beat the crap out of the B2601 handling "rip-rap" myself......?

    Let's Talk About Rock.....Literally...

    Yup. I was about to order some rock the other day and asked for 3/4-1" crusher rock "For a driveway" and I asked them to shoot me over a picture of what they were talking about delivering......it was like clean white river rock that would turn my snow blower into an assault weapon. :rolleyes:

    Let's Talk About Rock.....Literally...

    So I have a few project areas on my NH property that I need stone/rock etc. of various sizes to complete. What I am finding is that no one refers to rock or stone by the same name so when I call a stone place and ask for rock for a drainage ditch in the 2-4" range they for some reason think I...

    Groundhogs/Woodchucks.........no love lost here. Reminds me of "The Great Woodchuck Battle of 2006" which the prolonged skirmish ended with a number of new woodchuck sized holes dug behind my shed that had a very high correlation to the number of then missing woodchucks.

    To each their own......some people place value on a picture perfect lawn, some don't.....whatever blows your hair back. Rumor has it if someone falls into the first category, aeration certainly helps to that end. That all being said I am on a mission to hardscape as much of my "lawn" as...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    I just saw that......heck of a leaner. That will be an interesting one. Then again, how many a really "text book"....they all offer some level of challenge and danger.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Yup. It was too unpredictable for me to try on my own. My will to survive is larger than my ego......had a local young guy deal with it.....he usually specializes in tactical tree removal and is a climber......he climbed the adjacent tree that it was hung up on and took the limb off to allow...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    I had a guy come out yesterday and drop that sketchy ash along with a nearby maple that was also damaged and another problem tree. I then took over with the clean up. The Ego saw, the Husky 50 and the Kubota are all getting the job done. Cutting it all into rounds and dumping them in a pile...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Getting ready to finish the basement, so why carry the 3 bike racks all the way around the garage right? Then went and picked up the buckets of sand/salt from the driveway to ensure we will have an April Ice-pocalypse. Figured I would drop a few buckets of loam where my wife asked for them as...

    Front Axle Oil Level

    Threw some Kubota Super Magical Spendy fluid in the axle this morning before use, I'll check it again tomorrow after it settles out etc. I'm sure I landed in the same place everyone else does "Would be nice if the dealer topped it off, but either way after some use it all settles and needs to...

    Front Axle Oil Level

    Good news is I have most of a gallon of the UDT2 fluid. Early on, being the good newbie owner I am I did the daily fluid check and found my rear case dipstick was low......like barely registering on the dipstick so I called the dealer and they sent a guy over with a gallon for me. So I will...

    Front Axle Oil Level

    A friend of mine with a BX mentioned someone told him to check the front axle oil level from the dealer and sure enough it was really low. So he passed on the advice to me on the B2601 and I checked today......low and behold mine is showing ~1/3 up the fill notch on the dipstick. Is this a...
