What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

[D2Cat]

Been pretty busy, been working on one of the newly acquired pastures with neighbors house & farm that we bought over the summer. Yesterday I spent the day using the SVL with tree/brush puller. I had to resecure the hydraulic lines with stainless straps and replace o-rings (slow drip) on the grapple. Then later today I was using the grapple on the SVL and making brush piles.

Painted the floor boards with Herculiner a couple days ago.

Looks like a well done job, and a nice upgrade that should serve you well.

Got ready for the snow this morning, they are threatening us with, supposed to get it tonight and tomorrow. We will see how much we get. I have three driveway to do this year mine, the tenants and the neighbors, her husband passed and he used to do ours when my parents owned the place.

Did you fabricate the mounts for the snow blade yourself? Do you have a closer picture?
It looks like it will do the job on some snow.

haha, 3rd year into this severe drought, and if 2025 repeats previous weather patters, no more livestock for me,
I'll convert everything over to wildlife.
I would have to look at the calendar notes to confurm, but I think we have received less than 2in of rain since July or late June!

Yes sir, we're slowly turning into a desert here. Very dusty here as well, all the filters have to be serviced every 10 hours as well with the grease zerk interval.

I would like to have this pasture/ or a few acres ready to plant some cereal rye. I can't disc it unless I know were going to get some rain/moisture. If I open the ground now, the soil will lose any moisture that's remotely left in it and lose surface sand/soil from wind erosion.

I like it.....matter of fact, I really like it !! Did you use a spray, brush, or roller?

Brush and I just dabbed it on, works better then brushing. I didn't take them off, paper and taped it.

WOW - I just paid $4.59/gallon for diesel, even with your mentioned discounts, I would still be paying more than $4/gallon - and normal gas under $2/gallon!! I only use 93 octane (both my car and truck call for it), and I'm paying $4.79/gallon for that. Crazy!

Geez, I paid $4.39 for ethanol free today for my generator.

8 hours and 18 minutes run time since 3:30 AM. Restoration time TBD….

Quite a bit of heavy wet snow has caused about 30% of my county to be out of power.

Got to keep the Mrs. pies frozen…..

First time leaving the electric water heater on with this genny. Makes it snort a little when it heats, but seems to keep up with it. Tested it for a short time a while back.

That’d be great but it’s above freezing…..we’d have nothing more than a BIG F’n fruit salad with flour and shortening mixed in…..

She’s up to 93 pies now; same as last year.

All of them aren’t in that upright freezer but probably 60+ are.

She freezes them and sells them raw and frozen, or baked. She has a great system to bake them right out of the freezer. She gives her frozen customers directions to do that.

She’s self-taught after marrying a farm boy. Italians are not often known for pies…..

She’s gotten very good at it, enjoys making them and also likes the community projects she can help support.

PS - know you’ve been terribly dry.

We’ve been dry just lately.

I really wish I could have sent you this. Got about annch of rain yesterday followed by varying amounts of snow depending on elevation.

We were about 4” in valley. Hills got 9-10”.

Either way was probably almost another inch equivalent.

Fabricated it. I need to redesign it some, I have to make a hinge where it is welded to the plate. I can't float it, the arms are to heavy and it digs in even with the shoes on the plow. But it works great for piling snow, don't have to dump it like with a bucket.

I was curious about it floating like on a pick up truck. I saw another one that used the attachment pins for the bottom, and a chain for the top to allow it to float like on a truck.
You can still manually angle the blade?

My plan is to make it work like it would on a truck and I can manually angle it.

I made mine so the plow mounts like on a truck and floats with a chain. I set the push plate back under the SSQA plate to get the blade as close as possible to limit the side thrust when angled. More work and material but it works very good. Can even back drag with it.

Rust-Oleum overhaul

Back dragging. Can back drag with down pressure if desired too.
