    LX2610 how to slow loader drop?

    I come from the skid steer world and all it took was some practice on the tractor. If I remember right the tractor is more sensitive than my skid. I’ve heard that Kubota is one of the only tractors that allows simultaneous movement - something I really use a lot. I’m beginning my dump cycle...

    LX2610 how to slow loader drop?

    She trusts me but it would only take one slip. I’m very careful and deliberate in my movement. Otherwise I lose my free help and fringe benefits 🤪. Today she took the blower up.

    LX2610 how to slow loader drop?

    Yep practice, and don’t put your wife up in a basket until your very good at fine adjusting including raise/lower and curl/dump - simultaneously.

    Yesterday was not my day!

    Maybe, I was afraid it would tip into a hose or damage the tractor. Once I got it to it’s almost tip point I had to use tractor and forks to give it a little down force, to fully upright it. I had a floor jack on that side too, so it didn’t slam to the ground. I could leave it where it’s at for...

    Yesterday was not my day!

    yeah I see a paint scuff but damn these things are tough! just embarrassing. Being a contractor, I’m suppose to do the right thing. Let’s not even talk about how long it took me to install the 3PH. The WSM’s, the operators manuals - nothing tells you what connects to where. I think I’ve got it...

    Yesterday was not my day!

    Thank you Thank you ... that was just the pick-me-up I needed. Now I think Flip is onto something. I’m going to use my hoist tomorrow to push the BH back 10 feet. Stay tuned for updates!

    Yesterday was not my day!

    It started out fine, simple task list; remove BH92, install 3PH, and attach ballast box. Told the Mrs. I’d be done in an hour - tops so I could work on her list (for me). I wanted to be able to move backhoe around in garage and I didn’t want to build a dolly, so I used three 8,000 lb. car...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Had jobs lined up today. Mostly pushing up burn piles but did have one where I had to drag a fallen tree across the creek. The BH92 with thumb had no trouble at all. Bonus, got my bucket clean from the water! These temps in Michigan are unbelievable, coming to an end. Taking BH off tomorrow and...

    dolly for FEL

    I lower it onto the 2x's and disconnect like usual. Works great so far. I think using the steel to keep each pair of dollies lined up was key. I countersunk the 2x4 fasteners (through bolted) to each pair of dollies. I experimented with only using one dolly on each side but it was not stable...

    I too used cheap car dollies for my bucket dolly. Add another pair for FEL arms.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    You are a lucky man! The last time I showed her how to operate a tractor with HST she ran it into the house and broke the hood off. Granted, it was a lawn tractor. I use this “reminder” when she says she wants to swap positions.
