    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Got up early (for me that's 0600) and cleared the one parking lot at church. It had 1-2" of slush on it. Easy enough to drive through but our octogenarians wouldn't like walking through it. Pic below is after a quick scraping. The slush on the other lot was already melted and didn't need any...

    Here's one that I saw in a front yard. Not sure what the owner might want for it, but it ran when parked.

    Plow snow before ice? AND asphalt vs gravel strategy?

    Grooving R4's makes a big difference in traction. See Post #652: https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/threads/cutting-groving-siping-r-4-for-snow.193438/page-66

    Plow snow before ice? AND asphalt vs gravel strategy?

    That looks quite good. Does your setup allow you to float just the blade or are you floating the FEL? If the weight of the FEL is on the rubber edge it is a lot of abuse. We made a rubber edge for a rear blade at work from the tread part of a tire. It held up for years of use on a...

    Plow snow before ice? AND asphalt vs gravel strategy?

    Whatever you decide to do will seem like the wrong thing after you've done it:) If it were mine (and the 1-3" is not a packed-down 1-3") I'd let it go till after the freezing rain so there's something to get under it for removal. If the 1-3" is hard, packed and frozen it probably doesn't...

    Another pin popped off - damaged 3PH - time to harden my pins!!

    I've used bolts and nylock nuts on some things. For lynch pins I've had good luck with the black ones that hurt my fingers:)

    Knife collection.

    Used the machete this morning to whack up the pumpkins we had for decorations. I tossed them into the field assuming the critters would make them disappear. It was surprising to see that it was marked 24". Ecuador is metric (at least from what I've read). It was bought in Ecuador in 1983.

    Knife collection.

    I'm not a collector by any means. A number of knives have followed me home and cover a variety. Yep a Hansa machete brought back from Ecuador is included. Then there are several non-locking folders, some fixed blade hunting knives, three blade "stockman" knives, a Buck Titanium, etc. The...

    Don't buy a bigger tractor than you need.

    I've said to buy your 5th tractor first. While this is said partly in jest, that's what i DIDN'T do. I went up in size and capability in steps. The first was in 1990 and last - at least for now - in December of 2018. Admittedly it was more "want" than "need". I dont NEED to mow 3-1/2 acres...

    60 hours and front tires are shot.

    Approaching 1,600 hours on my L4240 and the tires are still OK. The outer edges wore enough to justify re-grooving them. Three pix show the right front tire on January 1, 2019 (the day I first grooved the tires on this tractor). The other two show a front tire on January 24, 2024 before and...

    BX Bucket edge, Piranha tooth,pro or straight? Pros and Cons of each.

    The reversible Piranha looks really interesting. My only experiences with "bars" have been with non-replaceable factory edges and a couple homebrews. I made a toothbar with replaceable teeth for a B7500 and a couple others for more recent tractors that were just a flat bar. The tooth bar...
