What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

[North Idaho Wolfman]

Rolled down a hill out of control with a bucket of dirt and the rear wheels off the ground.

You do know a bucket load of dirt dropped to the ground makes a really good brake!

Good luck with that.

Good luck with that.

Why is that not the best option?
Whenever I'm working on steep hills (up or down) I only keep my bucket a few inches off the ground, if it gets unstable drop it and it stops it from rolling or sliding!

You were expecting it, I wasn't. Had been moving soil for hours with no issue then out of the blue one bucket a bit too heavy and whoosh down the hill I went on the front wheels. It was all over in like 2.5 seconds, steep hill but not long.

Not tying to beat you down... But that's my point, always expect it on hills and you won't have it happen again!
No one likes soiling their shorts!

Today I completed an exercise in "How many implements can you move": Ya see, I live on the MS Gulf Coast and my barn is backed up to a bayou that will exceed it's banks during tropical events. If my barn had been where it is during Hurricane Katrina, it would have been completely underwater. A Tropical storm will put about 3-4' of water in it. So today I moved: Both Bush Hogs, PTO generator and a finish mower. I figure that the box blade, waterline plow, rake, bionic blade and disk can survive going underwater for a bit.

That's a bit of rigging and de rigging I tell ya. I think I may figure out a strap and harness system to make it easier down the road.
We will see what Alberto has to offer.

Considering Skeets was referring to a member in southern Mississippi, I would think he was referring more to Large snakes and Alligators. And occasionally a big foot sighting

Lol, yep, don't have much love for those kind of shoes either. You still planning a trip this way Daren, if so let me know.

Nice excavator !

I picked up a 10 x 10 shed to put an 8 ft pallet under it. Then using the pallet and a 40 ft racket strap, I used the B2650 to pick the shed up and moved it 200 ft away to the back of the property. I will do the same thing tomorrow with another 10 x 10 shed. Both are metal sheds.

Over the weekend I pushed a number of big rocks around to start the rock garden retaining walls for my wife. Then loaded my L245DT into my dump trailer, took it into town to load up dirt - loaded, hauled, and dumped about 15 yards of nice dirt back home for the garden (we live on a very rocky patch...) and then when I started the tractor in the morning it squirting dumping oil out of the left side of the engine just by the oil filter - a quick google search turned up info about plugs in holes left by the manufacturing process that can come out, so rigged up a temporary fix and filled up the oil while waiting for the dealer to bring in a new plug this week. Fix has held for now. Also located an old skidder tire in the bush and dragged it out, cut in in half to start a scraper project. Stay tuned!

One of my neighbors asked me to cut down a couple cedars and trim some other trees close to the shared private road. I put 1.2 hours on my chipper with all the limbs.

Put a dang couple of idiot marks on the hood. Hoping to find some touch up pain but those are deep. Any suggestions out there?

I am wrapping up the last of my 1/4 mile+ trail building project. Manuvering the L3301, on the sloped trail barely 5' wide, with the chipper on the rear and the 4' forks on the front, in the tight confines, has been "interesting". So far so good, as in no bent metal! Here goes the last of the slash in the burn pile, it's Quaking Aspen, not the best for firewood, and I already have a huge stack of it in the wood pile. So, the stuff too big for the chipper gets torched.
