What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

[RCW]

First time doing some loader work with the new to me LX3310. Even though it's rated at the same HP and lift capacity as my JD4310 it ain't much of a tractor comparatively. That extra 1000 lbs of weight on the JD must count for something. I also have generic cylinders so my JD is way stronger in loader capability.

It's still the best lawn mower I've had though. I also learned it rides better with the loader on so I will probably leave it on come mowing season.

Don’t know much about a JD4310, but seems like a model that was a few years ago? Extra 1,000 pounds means a lot.

A friend had that series years ago and loved it.

Another friend has farmed for decades with older tractors. Older like JD x30 twin cylinder tractors from 1959-1960.

He bought a new 4WD Massey Ferguson a few years ago with loader. Maybe 50-60 HP.?

As a local dealer for bale wrap, wanted the new tractor to unload tractor trailers at his place.

While I warned him his new MF would be light compared to a JD 530 or 730, he was literally shocked at how light it was.

No rookie, he quickly acclimated and ballasted, etc. But it was something he talked about for a while after getting the MF.

Don't forget to ask for the old parts to be returned. They will have value to someone else who might need them for replacements should they break a glass.

I'll be doing all the work so no worries re keeping parts. When I ordered the MX I added rear defrost and wiper and the dealer gave me the factory rear glass in a box. I still have it and hope to never need it. They gave me the original seat too since it had to come out to make way for the Grammer air ride seat. I donated that to a worthy cause though.

Expected some storm snow earlier.

Didn’t show up, but now Lake Effect is organizing.

Talking rain Friday. If snow doesn’t get too heavy, will leave it.

And that's why I left Endicott in 1962.
