What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

So I fixed it, but soon as I lifted it back up they bent a little so I will be strengthening that up for sure. No wonder why Land Pride updated this model to have gussets and what not. Must be they were getting bent!
No big deal, should be easy to cut some scrap metal I got and add some gussets and weld them in and then paint it.
I'm not the original owner of the tractor, the previous person had the 3 point kinda setup not the right way. They left the sway chains pretty loose so I think they were using the ballast box and letting all the weight sway like crazy and I'm sure it bent it. I know it needs some sway so nothing binds but it shouldn't be all floppy and flailing around.
It will be a good project. I don't know a TON about 3 point lift systems so this is good practice learning how to properly level the attachment.

This is version 2. Made it in about 3 minutes with a miluwaukee finish nailer lol. Don't judge me.
Version 1 was metal, half the size of version 2, but would bang up against the quarter glass. Sometimes rather hard when things got bumpy.
This one's ugly as sin, but it sits!
After using @Speed25's plow to repair the lawn (the lawn was wrecked by the garden project and needed some general fill and smoothing even before that, thankfully Speed sent me that big plow because it took only 4 passes) I took both plow cylinders off to get them repacked. One has a seal so bad if I use the plow the tractor has no need for a grease gun; the other just keeps the floor wet, until disconnected, then the quick disconnect behaves like an incontinent old man eating a week-old Taco Bell burrito.
The industrial hydraulic shop changed their hours and is not only still in business, but expanded three times! Talked with the owner and told him no rush, just need them back before snow season--can't tell you how happy that and taging both with completed service tags made him.
I should have taken a picture up-front as they were in a right-sized box and looked great initially, but transport must have made them nervous because they wet the box clean through despite zip-tying rags to the "leaky spots", and all that wet looked like two teenagers hitting puberty at a slumber party.

Yea she is....
That cruise control was a game changer for me.
Did your other one have cruise control? My 3301 did not.
The LX3310 had cruise control but I didn't use it. It made the hst whine worse so it wasn't worth it.
Haven't tried the cruise control on the L yet. The transmission is a dream though. I could feather the hst in the LX3310 but it was still Jerky. The hst is silky smooth in the L.
Be sure when you add the gussets you leave as much room as possible to get the pin and lock in the hole.
