    3 pt implement taking off and putting on

    Some implements can be left on a tyre. This allows the implement to be moved or rotated (or jiggled) slightly easier than if it is on a solid surface. But not every implement will balance on a tyre and some may need a prop. Never put yourself in a position where you can get trapped. This usually...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    I puckered. I puckered good. Low wheel on a side hill sank. Couldn't reverse out so I dropped the FEL and used it as a skid and ploughed on. If I think of it tomorrow I'll get a photo :eek:

    Brass Ones

    Fred was a legend. He would also knock tall chimneys by taking out bricks and replacing them with logs and then setting them on fire. He also had a passion for steam engines and used to rebuild them. He had many series of programs on british tv which were essential viewing

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    I knew you would fix it. I was out next door looking at the other side of FlyIdaho's pictures and didn't notice the handy spot he keeps his shovel :p

    Grapple repair

    I think you have nailed it. Now that you mention the loose connection, I remember unplugging the welder and plugging the grinder into the same socket. I had to thump the plug to get the grinder to work but I was so tired at that stage that I never made the connection between the two. New socket...

    Grapple repair

    Yooper, what causes a stick weld to go cold suddenly. Today I was doing a repair on a trailer and everything was going fine then, 3/4 way along a weld, the arc almost disappeared and I couldn't get it back. Everything was polished with a grinder before I started. Only thing I can think of is...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    It was. Kinda bit my own fault. I had taken the hydraulic ram off the door to replace it and didn't tell her. She was moving an old diesel tank an left the door open and the tyre popped it. :rolleyes: At least the glass didn't break thanks to all this rain and the soft ground ;)

    COVID-19 Stuff

    Re: Is the sky falling? Unfortunately, healthcare workers are getting it too and as time goes on the numbers of available workers will dwindle. It is possible that, in a few months, beds may be available but not enough nurses to care for the patients. Here in Ireland they are asking retired...

    radio

    In my experience there are 2 power feeds to the radio. One will be switched and the other constant. These need to be swapped. You will find that the manufacturer has thought of this and provision is made for this between the radio and the multiblock. If you do not swap them your battery will get...

    T-Posts...driving in with a bucket?

    The most efficient tool he has is probably the one holding the stake. He would not break a sweat if he used that ;)

    T-Posts...driving in with a bucket?

    I've driven a few wooden stakes with an L3450. It is pretty difficult to keep them straight because of the geometry of the loader but it can be done. What I did was go along the line with a crowbar and start the holes. Then I stood up all the stakes and pushed them in. You do not want anybody...

    Happy St. Patrick's Day

    It has been kinda surreal here in Ireland today. No parades, no pubs and the day was so wet that nobody was even out walking. Don't think I've ever seen things this quiet and nobody seems to mind. Happy St. Patrick's Day to you too
