Yeah, I've got some oil dry handy but the boss says it still stinks so I'm in the good old dog house. I'm pretty used to the view by now.
What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

Damnit D2Cat .....you have been reading my mind.....again!!!!!!!!
That is exactly where my thoughts are - just havent convinced myself I "need" it just yet.....I am waiting for the big freakin hot ball to come up out of the sky and shed some light on the subject!
Only reason gauges are the same .....cause they were the cheapest to meet my needs!
I let you know how long they last!I like where you mounted the gauges. I was thinking of using the mine gauges and mounting on top of the tower just ahead of the steering wheel. I think you place would work better. Thanks for the post.
85Hokie, nice work on the install. It would be nice for future reference if you would detail your install, including PITA issues, which parts used, etc. to simplify it for others. Just and idea. Thanks.
I installed the Land Pride grapple on my BX25, and used it a bunch.
Very versatile and useful implement.
Move tons of brush, branches, logs, etc and started a good sized boulder pile for landscaping purposes.
Used it to push over and uproot a fair number of small trees and scrub bushes. So much faster than with the bucket, as I can get one tine under a rootball and pluck up the tree or shrub.
It is also very useful as a rake, running backwards, or to dig up a semi buried boulder.
Very happy with the purchase.

Had some big limbs out of the 15 yo Hybrid Poplars that came out during the winter. Drug them to the ditch for burning. Had an old power pole used for an old fence post that rotted off. Drug it to the pile. Before I started the tractor checked the oil and coolant level again. Everything stayed the same. Dropped the oil out one more time and put in a fresh 4 quarts of Northland Diesel Oil. So far so good on the block sealer. Tractor starts and runs better all the time.
Mounted the deck on it this morning. That PTO is a real pain, trying to hold the collar back with one had and push the opposite direction with the other. Had the bigger limbs all pickup u[ in tow areas so decided to try the mower out grinding up those little twigs. Worked great but took a couple passes. I think I am going to like it for mowing too. If I could just find a good used loader for it would be all set.

I finally got approval to put concrete out the door of my workshop.
To get the 4-5 inches of material moved out of the way for the concrete, I used my box scraper and dragged what was mostly DG out of the way and up my driveway. I actually did such a good job scraping it down, I had to push a little back in yesterday when the crew showed up with the laser level. Finished, it's 1700 sq feet of concrete and having a crew do that all by hand would have taken a couple days and cost a bundle. With a scraper on the Orange Machine, it only took me an hour or two, total.
Oh, and of course the concrete truck today, a half-yard short of the full 11 yard capacity, sheared three of four bolts on the fan belt tensioner bracket a half mile from my house. The load sat engine off, drum stopped for 20 minutes. He managed to limp in and we used a garden hose on the radiator as he repositioned the chute for the dump. I came close to getting hit by a cement truck a dozen or more times today. But it was all for a good cause. I'll have that VOLVO logo in my nightmares for a week. Good thing it was 50 degrees this morning or this might have turned out kinda nasty for the cement company.
Tomorrow we finish the pour.
The cement truck managed to get cleaned out and limp to the curb where they ended up towing it off.
My tractor earned the week off and is in the barn until the concrete cures.

Washed a winters worth of cow mud off my L3000 today. I think it lightened up about 300 lbs. Looks and smells much better.

I bought my B7100 in early February. It's just been sitting in the garage since. It finally warmed up enough to start working on her the last couple of nights. Doing a complete filter and fluid swap for starters. Got engine oil, steering box and front axle fluids changed. Removed front wheels. They are fluid filled... I have new front ags to install. Got all the fittings greased. A few were seized, so I replaced them. I still have rear axle/tranny and FEL fluids to change, along with either filter cleaning or replacement.
It's coming along. Just finding time to work on it has been the hard part. A very well built tank...I mean tractor!!

The fronts of your 7100 are filled? Any idea how much weight that adds? I need a little more front ballast (no FEL) but I thought I did the math and figured I wouldn't get much weight out of it.

Well that sounds worth it to me. Turf tires or ag? Beet juice or just antifreeze of something?
