What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

[bx tractorjoe]

Mowed about 90% of my 2 acres under a dark cloud.. then it started to poor! On the way back to the shop to take cover lightning stuck what sounded like a few hundred feet away.. about had to change my shorts!

I had the loader off so I waited it out in the shop cleaning up for about 45 min then put the loader on and mowed the last 2 passes..

To wet to put the mower back in its spot so I left it hooked up..

Lol.. i really did not see that coming.. you must of been thinking of a situation you had yourself?

But no I made a big wood bench the other day and had saw dust all over the shop so was cleaning that up.. shorts remained dry thankfully

 

[marine-mp]

No, but it seems whenever I mow or make plans to mow, the sky opens up!! I guess we’re of like minds, nice bench of yours. I threw one together this spring along with a “log planter” from a large white pine I dropped. Semper-fi & This We’ll Defend, Mike

 

[bx tractorjoe]

I like your bench better.. if I could find a log that big I'd make one like it.. they don't seem to get more than 16 inches around here.. hurricanes seem to knock them over or they rot before they get that big

I was delayed a day on taking the mower deck off and am glad since it was a lot warmer today.

My snow pusher was delivered today. It's a HLA1500 60". Looks like a well built piece and as much as I'd like to put it to work I hope the snow doesn't come too soon

I replaced the drive shaft that drives the front axle on my BX. Ever since I have had it, when you put it in 4 wheel drive it vibrates like you are running over a rumble strip. When I checked all the drivetrain for the front axle, the splined shaft that goes from the mid-ship bearing forward was loose in the slip yoke and in the yoke on the u-joint at the front axle. The yoke on that u-joint that drives the input shaft of the differential was sloppy too. I ordered the u-joint assembly and the shaft from Messicks in PA. They came yesterday and I installed them this afternoon. Everything is a snug fit now, and when I gave it a test drive in 4wd, there was no rumble or vibration at all. Fixed!

2-sheds and a garage stuff is everywhere.
Wife said we need to build a building so tractor and attachments are in the same building

Act now! Limited time offer! Seriously though, any idea on how big of a building you would put up?

We have lived here 30 years the subject has come up before lol
I've had in mind like 32' by 40' at least 12' tall with a lean too on side for workshop.

 

[SidecarFlip]

Should have done it last year. Wait until you price construction lumber Better tap into your 401 to cover the cost.

The setup for this one would have taken me months with the wife.

My buddies wonder how it was my wife that suggested getting the new shop, truck, garage etc. I have to constantly explain to them that if you do it right, SHE will suggest it. It just takes a little time and finesse.

You got the most important thing out of the way (marrying her), now build your shop!

Dropped this ash 2 yrs ago and finally got to the trunk. My intent was to carry it out with the bucket and cut later but I forgot how big it was. Cut it up and hauled it out. Six trips and splitting it later. Have a beech in the woods that the storms took down. Pulling that out tomorrow.

 

[MOOTS]

Been working on my big pile for about 5 hrs. Have gotten all of the trees off the ground and some briar patches too.

 

[MFFI422]

Sat in my garage, smoked a good cigar and looked at it!

 

[johnjk]

Got distracted by a windfall oak before I got to the beech. Went for that instead

 

[RCW]

Did a drain/flush/fill of the coolant on my BX. Just pulled the lower radiator hose off, as well as the bottom hose of the overflow tank.

Made a mess, which I cleaned up before the Boxer got into it.

 

[Magicman]

I subsoiled before Hurricane Delta which meant that the ground was still soaked even a week after the storm but i still had to disc, seed/fertilizer, and cover before the next rain.

Yup, I dropped a wheel off in a ripper trench and down she went. Nope, not coming out.

So John Deere to the rescue.

Yup, pulled her right out, but oh the humiliation!! 2wd JD unstuck a 4wd Kubota?? What's da price??

Orange had to baby sit da Green Children!!

Yup, here she is about to change da little Greenie's diaper.

Used my L3560 all week. Dug some creosote bushes out, exposed my old septic system to have it evaluated and permitted, and re-organized the garage. Wouldn't be without my backhoe and pallet forks!
