What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

[SidecarFlip]

Mowed 10 acres of ripe but weedy hay this morning. Not worth bailing so I chopped it. 87 outside, 68 in the cab.

I am thinking that different components may come from different contracted "factories" that may be using a slightly different formula paint without the proper UV inhibitors. These components come together during assembly and are indistinguishable until years later. That's my thoughts anyway.

My fenders still have good color but the rear tire rims are pink.

 

[S-G-R]

I've noticed a lot of Kubotas with various pink parts and I think you are right that they aren't all painted at once.

Took my new JBAR brush cutter to my daughter's farm in northwest GA and cleared overgrown field, cleared some trails and dug a ditch to drain a wet spot in her backyard. Kubota L4701 with JBAR PRM 5' cutter worked flawlessly.

Tearing off the old rotten boards.

And then using "Big O" to haul replacement boards to rebuild a bridge on my property.

 

[Bmyers]

Dad and I worked on a washout next to the field. Hauled a few buckets of old concrete blocks after we had cleared the area and got rid of old under brush and fence that wasn't being used.

I cut down and hauled out the last tree from the tornado we had back in January. Disaster/blessing, it created enough work for me to be able to convince my wife I had to have a tractor. Finally got a L2501. Forks are a MUST!!

When I went to start the BX yesterday, the battery was dead. Battery is only a few months old, so WTH? Charged it up and got the yard mowed and some tree trimming done, but let it run the whole 3.5 hours just to be safe. When I parked it, the battery was dead again and had to use a long screwdriver to shut the engine off. Didn't feel ike working on a hot tractor, so I went down this morning to check it out. Battery was down to ~6 volts, so I put the charger back on it for about a half hour to get it at least part way charged. The belt was on the dynamo so I checked the voltage and it was ~12.6 volts. Started it up and the voltage was the same. So after I got to checking I found the harness unplugged from the regulator/rectifier box. Plugged it back in and started it up and now got over 13 volts at the battery, so everything is working correctly again. Just for good measure, I ran a tyrap around the connector so it can't come apart again.
While I had the hood open I pulled out the radiator screen and cleaned a little debris off it. When I looked down at the rear facing radiator core this is what I saw.

Got the air hose and a blow gun with a 2 foot long nozzle and blew it out from the front. She's clean as a whistle now.

I finally got around to bush hogging my three acre field out back. I had the ParinahBar and Colt45 ready to give any snakes I saw running a little case of 'whipAss' but never saw any. In the wetter section or up higher in the field none.
Unlike Flip in his cab. It was 75* in the seat, 90* with the sun cooking me.

 

[S-G-R]

Got to sit in it for a few minutes. Still some assembly to do and hope to have it home at the end of the week.

 

[BXHoosier]

Worked on adapting my 3-point fork/hitch frame to fit my loader. This will move my forks 10 inches closer to the tractor and increase their lifting capacity compared to the forks hanging on the bucket.

Used my new Surecan for 1st time 4.5 gallons of fuel without spilling any fuel. This is the 1st tank tractor has ever been filled by can I've been driving to local station.

My can fills from top like website shows, Amazon and Tractor supply show side fill.

Back at the farm today. The first order of business was to rebuild another bridge.

This bridge is ~18' wide and needed rotten boards replaced.

It's temporary now for the 4th. We have plans to completely rebuild this bridge because the creek has changed course and is washing the bank away from the stringers.

So now I can get back to bushhogging except....

26" butt Red Oak blocking the road.

Stihl MS362 to the rescue.

So now I can get back to bushhogging the roads except...

36" butt Red Oak down and blocking the road. I rerouted the road around this one but now I will have to go back to the farm another day and complete my bushhogging before the 4th.

What do you do when the ZT hydrostat pulley bracket goes whacko and breaks?

Get the M4900, some rope, and a block.

We loaded it just fine. The ZT will go to the shop tomorrow. The M4900 can rest.

Good job on getting the sick on the trailer.
Very reason I have a 2500# winch on mine that I can remove or put on in about 5 minutes.
Used it to pull several riding mowers and my golf cart on.

 

[Magicman]

Yup, I have an 8K Mile Marker winch on the front of the 18' trailer but nothing on this 10'.

 

[S-G-R]

It's first task off the truck

was to push some old brush back. We're under a no burn order during to extremely dry conditions so I've been piling it up in the back corner of the property until I can get rid of it.

Got to sit in it for a few minutes. Still some assembly to do and hope to have it home at the end of the week.

Thank you. Just had it delivered this afternoon.
