What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

I think you have the chicken math solution backward my friend.

Read the above and said that sounds familiar--started with 6, max 34, now 28. I thought chicken math is what we men do with a slide rule and a tractor to estimate how many chickens she will eventually get/want and try to stay ahead of that estimate with proper coop/fence/yard/storage size to outpace her chicken rusings in the future...

The FEL sure works better than a wheelbarrow for coop cleaning, carrying to burn pile or spreading out in the woods.

She: Money can't buy happiness, but money can buy chickens, and chickens make her happy.

Us: Money can't buy happiness, but money can buy a tractor and more tractor stuff, and using said tractor for her chicken stuff makes her happy, and THAT makes us happy.

PRECISELY!!!!

I turn mine off to fuel ... Old (probably current law, that is now overlooked!) law that said we had to shut off our diesel engines trucks to fuel ... Lots of drivers leave there trucks running, but not me ...

Found out the factory more than hand tightened the oil filter.

Found out the factory more than hand tightened the oil filter.

Yeah, I pretty well destroyed the original on my LX when I changed oil the first time. But it probably doesn't help that they painted the engine (and filter) AFTER they put the filter on. Guess that saves having to mask the oil filter flange. Even painted, though, it probably shouldn't require crushing the filter with the filter wrench to loosen it. But the gaskets on the filter also swell after they're saturated with oil and heated up a few times. That too will tighten the heck out of them. I put mine on until hand tight, then give a quarter turn with the strap wrench to make sure I'm not going to leave a puddle on the floor, and nearly always wind up denting the filter when I take it back off. But I haven't had to clean up any oil on my shop floor either.

What I did today, hmmmmm.

Wrote a check for the LAST payment for my LX, and wrote another check for the KTAC insurance for a year and will likely keep the insurance for the life of the machine or until I don't have it.

It's a good feeling to have that monthly payment gone. I could have paid it off early, but at 0% interest, why would I? I was holding Kubota's money instead of a bank holding mine. That and favorable laws in Alabama that Agriculture equipment has no sales tax made me pretty happy when I bought it too.

Grounds hog day here again. There's always firewood to stack. This is three year old dryed going onto the porch. Winter coming, had 30* a few mornings here.
