What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

So it's just manual steering, no power steering? I thought it had power steering.

It is a power steering box, much like older cars and trucks used

You'll just have to get over it, your/our tractors have hydrostatic steering which means there's no mechanical connection between the steering wheel and the wheels, it's done hydraulically. Modern tractors don't have power-assisted steering.

Even more maddening, the steering wheel isn't even constant. Turn the wheel all the way one direction and keep turning. You'll see the wheel keep turning slowly. The same thing happens a little under normal operation.

Edit to correct, the L2501 does not use hydrostatic steering.

Sorry, I was wrong. The L2501 uses power-assist steering, not hydrostatic.

First snowblowing of the season today. We got around 6 inches of heavy wet snow. The blower handled it well.
The only problem was a

Sorry for the continuation. Fat fingered submit. The only problem was after the first 10 minutes the snowblower did not want to raise. I believe I didn't have the couplers on tight. Once I disconnected and reconnected it raised very slowly and then went back to normal. Possibly got some air in the lines and then purged out. After that no problems.

I couldn't find a fat thumbs up emoji so this will have to do.

Servicing the equipment, so it will be ready on Monday. Zerks, filters and checking fluids. Got one front hydraulic line on the MX that needs a bit of tightening. Another month without rain here. I have on the calendar, recorded a trace of rain earlier in the month and thats it. I wish the early morning sea fog would return. We have a few small chances of rain next week. Prayin 4 rain!

I hope it's still raining.

Mobile skinning rack. Dang these things are useful.

Someone will probably ask you to move that to the Hunting and Game Posts thread.

But I agree. Brought a nine point white tail home with my L last night. He was a fat boy and would have been a challenge even for two of us without hydraulics.

BTW, if a moderator wants to delete this, no offense will be taken.

Mod edit: I moved the game post.

Nope, just those few drops in that picture is all. The forecast is a little bit promising.

Thanks for the heads up, point well taken—definitely wasn’t bragging about a big fat doe, just bragging on the orange tractor hydraulics making life easier without the skinning rack out at the cabin.

Mod edit: No problem, other thread is just a better fit.

Fingers crossed...

Your air filter video reflects the lack rain.

The trees and plants are already stressed, that amount of snow would just compound the drought problems here and kill off more trees/plants etc.

 

[nerwin]

They said we were gonna get 8 inches of snow...after two days it only accumulated 2 inches maybe.

I'm bummed...I wanted to use the tractor

 

[L35]

Yesterday, but got about 4 hours of saw time in! Thumb is new to me this year, it is a time saver and back saver for sure.

3 days of snow. Suppose to ease up this afternoon then a chance of showers next 3 days. Cleared twice with the tractor and one time I broke the tractor code and used my Toro blower for exercise. Took over 2 hours walking behind it but was such a nice afternoon for some exercise.

I had do do a double take on that one. It kinda looked like you'd made something to attach the chainsaw to the boom of the BH. I was thinking "that's a bit of overkill ...." until I zoomed in a bit. Gettin' old and blind sucks.
