What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

A close shave as they say . . .
I moved 22 bags of cement up to the pour site (same as the stone) 6 bags at a time. I was going to boom the mixer up there too, but we bulled it up a make shift ramp. Now I need another 25 bags to finish the retaining wall then pull the forms and back fill with more #2 to be ready for the stone on the face side. I am in awe of the work this tractor does for 15hp. I did have to add a cup of oil, but the coolant and hydraulic was fine. Added 3 gal. of diesel today too. And I'm very happy I added those 5 suitcase weights . . .

I wanted a ball hitch option for my BX and didnt feel like using the 3PH or paying $100 for one.
I found one of these at Harbor Freight:
https://www.harborfreight.com/3500-lbs-step-bumper-receiver-69673.html
Flipped it over and the back holes line up perfectly, just need to be reamed out another 1/8"
Front holes need to be drilled new, not a big deal with a drill press (I used a milling machine) Uses the original screws which were long enough. I bolted right through the original drawbar so I don't lose it.
A quick spray and I'm in action. A 4" lowered hitch flipped over seems to level my brush trailer acceptably and I'm a happy camper.
Total cost like $25 if I include the paint.

Looks nice!
I have a draw bar for my 3 point with a 2" ball. Nice thing about having it on the three point is that you can back up under the hitch of what you want to tow and raise the 3 point up under it. No lifting.

I use my universal QA forklift frame on the front end, with the forks off. The Titan QA frame has a built in receiver so quick and easy to pop a ball in there. I always have something on the rear end so have yet to use it to pull a trailer.

Today I pulled trees out closer to my woods roads so that I can cut in into firewood. I have a ROPS that I need to put on it but with taking a vacation were way behind on my carpentry jobs and our own stuff. So yes a tree snubbed up and the front end climbed a lot higher than I wanted be I got the clutch in. Maybe before snw flies I will find time!
I know of two guys, one a Doctor that lost their lives on a tractor because of no ROPS. Hope you get it installed. Just a suggestion....
Today I put a new 625ca 51R battery in my 2009 B3200. The tractor had the original 410ca battery in it and it was 10 years old.
Did a whole bunch of moving stuff around with my B3200 today. I have a set of forks that attach to the front bucket and I moved an old 400 pound Onan generator with the forks. I used the draw bar in back with a 2" ball on it to move my wood splitter around. All this was to get my restored 1955 VW bug out of my barn because I am getting it ready to sell it. I have owned the bug since 1979 and restored it about 28 years ago.
Got to say too that converting to the alternator on my B3200 was the best thing I have done to it. With the new battery and just above idle, I get 14.4 volts and when first checked, the alternator was pushing 9 amps into the battery. Sure cranks faster with the 625ca battery.

I needed a holder upper (for a steel rack I'm fabricating for a neighbors 3.4 KW grid tie solar array)while I changed the rigging on my shops overhead chain fall trolley, the L3301 worked perfectly for this as usual.

It is worth a bit North of $25,000. It is a "European Deluxe" model and was originally delivered to Holland. Not a US spec car. It has the semaphores instead of blinkers, came with KM speedo and cloth interior. I added Porsche 356A drum brakes all the way around, 9" drums stock VW, 11" Drums Porsche.
It has a rebuilt 1965 Fully synchronized trans and I built an OLD School 1700 CC engine with forged pistons and Engle 100 cam. Carb is a Zenith 32 NDIX 2 barrel carb jetted for single carb applications. It came off of a mid 60's Porsche.
One thing is that it is a matching numbers car. I have the original 1192 cc, 36 hp engine that is apart but it is the original engine.
Straight to bush hogging on a new engine???

Why Not? Diesels like to be worked. When NEW, you vary speeds. You don't want to run them at full load but I am sure with a tractor that big, bush hogging isn't running it at near full load. I'd do an oil & filter change at 10-20 hours.
I attached a chain box today...just an ammo box painted Kubota orange attached using the slow moving vehicle sign bracket. Fits all my chains and looks good.
I also had a great Piranha Tooth Bar moment. Jabbed the teeth into a really stuck fence post and with a curl, it slid right out:

That BOX came out nice. Pull the chain out of there, add some ICE and add your favorite beverage!
That's a good idea with the ammo box. Might have to steal your idea. The little plastic tool box it came with is too little for anything other than some spare pins
