    And opposite of a car you only have brakes on the rear wheels.

    Pros and cons of snow removal options

    Pusher for me and when piles get too high I put on the bucket and load the dump trailer - more seat time is ok. I would like to try a rear mounted blade to replace ballast box though.

    Don’t know if this helps but here’s a YT of a Kubota install.

    Advice on what to buy

    Consider a smaller skid or CTL? More money but lots of lifting capacity and takes heck of abuse. I find with my GL4060 that I don't run out of HP but I do run out of lift capacity.

    Kubota M7060

    I recently viewed a YT video where a belt was replaced. I can’t find it but I think it was Ryan Lynch. You could email him and ask he’s good about responding. https://youtube.com/@ryanlynch2259

    Getting ready to retire, what did you treat yourself with?

    Negotiated a healthy raise so I’d defer my retirement for a year or so. Now I can buy a few more attachments for the “midlife crisis” I bought in 2020.

    Snow tires

    I can’t speak to those choices but if you want to keep your R-4’s consider grooving them, it makes a world of difference on traction in the snow. This opinion is controversial 🤪

    L3560 two operational questions

    No 4 WD indicator, that’s something that has been asked for years. I’ll have to check on the hazard switch. If I remember right it also depends if you have the headlights on. Check your front diff/axle fluid too. Frequently needs topped off when new or awhile after oil change. Enjoy your new...

    First Snow...

    I move the new pile over and start a new one in a different spot. This is last winter. And, if I have too I move snow in the dump trailer.

    Question(s) about tending a brush pile fire with the tractor.

    This pic doesn’t show it but if you have forks I have had good luck getting relatively close to fire, dump forks, and as the object gets to the end of the forks, quickly curl back! Sounds crazy but you can “flip” the object quite a ways and onto the fire.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    1st measurable snow in SW MI. Drives and roads not bad, plowing is slow as I have to stay off lawns this time of year. Radio in cab sure is nice.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Picked up the “married” QH and SSQA from the welder. Thought I’d try it out on the spike harrow and a big tulip tree leaves. Wow, sure is nice to not have to turn this ole’ neck and watch the 3PH. I move implements around a lot so thinking this will work great. Had a 2” tilt welded in. Just need...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Electric hydraulic. I leave it plugged in when it’s parked and so far haven’t had any issues.

    Trencher bucket for L3901

    Try to locate a compatible toothed bucket used and cut the teeth off, works great.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Did another round of leaves and grass pickup for us and the neighbors. Sure is nice having a small dump trailer! Then the Mrs. put a new SMV sign she made on the ballast box as I had painted the box a month ago and peeled the old one off. Sure wish this weather here in MI would continue.
