new to Kubotas and new to this site. Just thought I'd report on my first real work day with the little Kubota. Took the L185 out to our hunting property which hasn't been mowed all year. It has been very wet this year out in west texas so grasses and weeds are crazy tall. Several areas had heavy growth about waist high.
My Kubota came with a 5' brush hog and a hydraulic blade in the front. I got to use both today
Cut all the trails with the brush hog and as expected... it blew right thru the high grass and weeds with no issues. I ran it with PTO at low and 4th gear with engine at about 2200rpms and worked like a charm. Not exactly a fast mowing speed but got the job done and I didn't want to push things too much the first time out.
Once the trails were all mowed, it was on to job #2 which was to push some old trash into a pile. I used the blade and took me all of 30mins to get the area with the trash all cleaned up so the stuff was in a nice small pile and kinda out of sight. I might go back later and dig out an area to push the stuff into and push dirt over it but for now, just getting it all in one small area was good enough.
Job #3 was a bit tougher. I had some major wash out areas and low spots on the main road going across the property. I used the blade and just took my time slowly scraping and filling down the road. It took me a long time but I did get it looking much better.
So put about 4 hours on the Kubota today and worked like a champ!
Didn't take a pic today but here is what the tractor looks like.
