    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    I worked on making a carry all/ballast box. There were a bunch of concrete blocks (61 lbs each) on the property when we bought it last year so I incorporated 8 of tthem in the carry all. The overall dimension is 48x32. Between the blocks,frame and wood, I should have plenty of ballast along with...

    3 point wood chippers

    I recently bought a WC-68 and from the few times I've run it there have been no issues. If you go that way, MJa doing stuff on you tube did a great video of assembly. There were some good tips/tricks he did to make it easier. I followed along with that and the manual and all went real well.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Got my quick hitch today so I was able to size and cut the pto for the WC-68 chipper. Tried it out on the Christmas Trees that the kids had. I believe I'm really going to enjoy the new equipment.

    Lifting Question

    nice idea,thanks. I'm just starting to think about storage solutions. I'm going to see if I can set the snowblower on the bottom rack just in front of it using the tractor and bottom frame to set and remove it.

    Lifting Question

    Here are some pictures of my tractor and attachments. The chipper is still on the shipping pallet since I'm expecting a sppeco quick hitch to be delivered tomorrow. Then i'll hook it up to measure the pto. Put the tooth bar on today and used it to breakup some of the icy snow piles to help with...

    It was just suggested that we may want to look at a B2650 instead of a B2601

    Same here, my dealer also recommended against a block heater, claims it is more of a maintenance problem than it is worth. With a battery tender on I have had no issues this winter and we had plenty of below 0 f deg days.

    Lifting Question

    It went off without a hitch today. I had the tractor set up with the rotary cutter on for ballast, kept it in 4wd and it was smooth. The truck pulled up and the driver brought the chipper to the back of the truck with his dolly on the wrong side so we decided to see if the tractor could lift it...

    Lifting Question

    That's pretty much what I was thinking. Hopefully I don't need plan B, but it's not the end of the world if I need to go there. I did put the rotary cutter on today to give me the most ballast that I currently have. As a side note, this was the first time I engaged the cutter and found out...

    Lifting Question

    Thanks for all of the replies, I believe I am going to play conservative and put the rotary cutter on for the most ballast. I have plenty of room to maneuver both in the driveway and in the barn. Besides, being new at all of this I can get some practice hooking things up to the 3-point.

    Lifting Question

    They are delivering in an 18 wheeler and cannot get any closer than the end of the driveway . I cleaned the snow yesterday so that's not an issue but I have alot of ruts and holes in the asphalt to deal with.

    Lifting Question

    I'm looking for some advice on how to set up my tractor to move some material tomorrow. I have an LX2610 Cab model with loaded R14s and I currently have a RB1684 rear blade on it. I'm receiving a Woodland Mills WC-68 which the shipping company has listed at 825 lbs and will drop off at the end...

    Angle of the dangle

    Now that I got your attention I have a serious question. Is there a rule of thumb for what side angle to not exceed to avoid tip overs? In the manual for my lx2610, it basically said that if you are not comfortable, don't do it. I seem to remember seeing someplace that 20 deg is the magic...

    What do you ride, and whats the last thing you did to it?

    Just sold my 2008 Goldwing last month. We've ridden it all up and down the East Coast from Maine to Key West. made it as far West as San Antonio. Great bike, just wasn't feeling as comfortable on it anymore so I figured it was a good way to finance more attachments (WC-68) should be deilvered...

    Looking for some beginner tractor advice (B/LX + implements)

    I did this swap last week for the 1st time. Reading the manuals every step of the way and taking my time the blower was off and teh fel back on in around 35 minutes. I'm sure it will get quicker with practice.

    Removing FEL with a tooth bar on bucket

    Thanks, those are the same instructions that I am working with. I will probably see how the tooth bar works this summer and see what my comfort level is for leaving it on when removing the FEL.
