What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

[Moose7060]

Used the small wanna be Kubota on some tight trails this morning. Plugged the deck with heavy Dandelion growth and needed to clean it out. Used the corral panel with rough cut 3x6's and used a 2x6 wheel choke which also prevented possible spreading. Redundantly added two jack stands. Working from both sides never needed to have more than an arm underneath.

2 new cherry trees and two new apple trees planted last year are doing great.

My Dandelion Controller was busy at work.

Greased the aerator and put it away. Hooked up the FDR2584 and mowed my bil's 5 acres and then blew out the air filter, screens and rad. Filled it with diesel and called it a night.

Cleaned the mmm, lubed it up and mowed. More rain expected this week. Spooked a couple fawns in the tall grass so I put the trails off for a few weeks. I’ll get the brush hog on the B3200 at the end of June and tackle them at that time

Need some help here. Not long ago someone posted some velcro straps that they mounted to the rops with magnets and I can't find that post. I'm interested in those straps for hanging a weed eater on the mower ROPS. If anyone can remember where that post is or who posted it I'd appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.

An amazingly simple way to carry tools...

One thing that has eluded me for years was a simple way to carry tools on my Kubota. I tried bolting rail based tool racks, to my ROPS, I tried expensive too carrying attachments, I tried holding tools in one hand while attempting to drive with the other. I piled them on the floor and almost went over the side of a mountain when I couldn't reach the brake.... all were awkward, clumsy and got in the way.

Then this: I bought four (4) 200 lb magnets with spring clips on Amazon for about $6. I bought these nifty velcro loops on Amazon for about $9. Simple and incredibly effective. I can carry a chainsaw, shovel, rake, brush cutter, trimmer and a blower with me. All at the same time if I need to... proving that sometimes the simplest solution is the best one. With 200 lb per loop, there's no way they are slipping or falling off. And there's no modification to your tractor. Stick them on or take them off whenever you want.

used the search with the keyword "velcro". Hope this is what you are looking for.

We spent the holiday weekend cleaning up brush piles. The large pile by the field had now been turned into ashes. We also used the dump trailer and move eight piles of brush over to the burn pile. Guessing we have about eight to ten loads left.

It was nice to have the dump trailer. Saved a lot of running back and forth with the tractor.

Minor carnage from saturdays escapade.

I'm very fortunate this was all it was. Right when it happened, I was so sure I had made it through one of the fuel tanks that I went ahead and lined her up where she could get loaded on a trailer.

Very lucky I was able to fix her with just a new clamp.

And i'll pound the daylights out of that guard and get it straightened back up.

Why I help some people is beyond me, this is also a feller who won't frequent my shop in town because we are "always too high"

Two monks were washing their bowls in the river when they noticed a scorpion that was drowning. One monk immediately scooped it up and set it upon the bank. In the process he was stung. He went back to washing his bowl and again the scorpion fell in. The monk saved the scorpion and was again stung.


The other monk asked him, "Friend, why do you continue to save the scorpion when you know it's nature is to sting?"


"Because," the monk replied, "to save it is my nature."
