What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

[Tbucket32]

Rigged up a 10' piece of 2.5" thickwall pipe with my clamp on forks to make a boom pole and set trusses for our picnic shelter.

Got any pictures? I need to do the same shortly and would love to do something similar

Found out the BX23S WILL carry a set of mounted 10x20 duals from the 2000G watering trailer to the garage.

I do have pics of putting them up, but no pics of the boom pole specifically. Here's what I did:

I have the clamp on forks, and put them close together.
Put my pipe between them through to the back of the bucket.
Chained the bucket end of the pipe to the "clamp" part of the forks.
Secured the middle portion of the pipe to the forks with a strap wrapped around.
Drilled a hole right through the forward end of the pipe and put a bolt through the pipe and a piece of chain, with a hook on the end.
Drilled a hole in middle of the pipe length near the ends of the forks, bolted on a chain that runs to the hook welded on the back of my bucket.

Put up galvinized trusses that were maybe 150lbs each, for a 24' span. They are from a greenhouse that was taken down, super handy, 5' rise over a 14' run. I have 6 left to build a greenhouse with next year. They bolt to my beams or wall top plate and have a perpendicular tab every 24" with a whole in it. Just lag bolt 2x4 strapping over top, and put on your roof. Paid $20ea for 20 of them. Used some already for a garage.

Thanks. I've been trying to find a reason to buy bolt on forks...this might be the reason the "boss" releases the funds!

I changed the oil, cleaned the air filter, chaff filter, etc. Then raised the deck on the finish mower and did 2/3 of the back field before calling it quits for the day. The grass was pretty tall - someone suggested making mini-bales of hay for city folks with mini-animals.

Today I'll finish our field then cut my neighbors. He's having some mobility issues - hey what are neighbors for right? - it's only diesel.

Moved another bucket load of firewood to the garage woodshed which is finally full.
Switched to the grapple fork and hauled a pallet of shingles for my parents laundry room roof.

Finished yarding the last of the firewood, 21 pickup loads. Thankful for the L260 but glad to be done before Bird season.

Removed back blade and front end loader
Attached MMM ready to mow tomorrow.

Whoa that's a lotta of firewood for a season! Well, given where you live maybe not unusual.

Not just today but most of the summer. Building a greenhouse for my wife.
I’m trying to upload pictures from my iPhone and they keep on failing to upload, not sure why.

You need to reduce the size of them

Busted my brush hog on a rock.
Discovered an alarming amount of UDT on the ground.
Spilled diesel all over the hood.
Got covered in Daddy-Long-Legs.

Hopefully tomorrow will be better

have you considered setting your property on fire?
I was chainsawing limbs, looked to my right and found one sitting perched on my shoulder. I reminded myself not to panic, and moved very slowly to deescalate the situation.

Got one picture to load. The greenhouse is 26’ x 50’ x 19’-6” tall.

 

[dlsmith]

That's going to be quite a greenhouse.

That's a lot of height for a greenhouse - problem can be heating that space. I have one planned for spring, already have the trusses and dynaglass, and it will be 24X30, 14" high. Plan to use a wood stove to keep the chill and frost off in the early spring, with a small propane unit heater to supplement.

re: greenhouse heating

think 'old school'... heat the ground NOT the air....

infloor ,er, inground, heating is very efficient....

Well, I got kicked out of the tractor today and was the ground man. My dad and my wife ran the tractors while I hooked up chains for them to pull brush and trees away.
