On the burn pile. Wanted to take it down before it gets too big. Tractor in first pic is almost touching garage. Have a few more is same area to deal with.
What did you do to or on your Kubota today?
- Thread starter gurn
- Start date
Not doing anything today with my tractors, i gave them the day off, they`ve earned it very well. 
Picked up a used blower. Got it greased, had to change a couple of hydraulic fittings, gave the tractor a once over and just need some snow to try it all out.

Looks like you're ready to go!
I've sometimes thought a rear blower with the FEl/ blade/pusher might work for much less $$.
I've even thought a REAL GOOD walk-behind could work.
The front mounted blowers are very expensive...but I've had one for 18 years, and REALLY like them....just not sure that will be the next solution.
I I had a walk behind blower that was a heart attack in the making. I priced a Kubota 64" three point blower two years ago and it was a little over $4000 Canadian when I priced out a B2650 packagage so I didn't add it when I bought the LX2610. I sold my walk behind and put the money towards the pusher box. Between it and the used blower I have less money in them than a new blowerLooks like you're ready to go!

Did a little wood cutting /splitting /stacking today, just used for camping and a firepit in the yard. I know and believe in all things great and small, but the ash borer is a useless creature

I have an area at the end of my driveway where I push my snow in the winter. The cry baby plow driver who has the town contract complains if I plow snow across our town road. So I had a couple rocks sticking up in that area that I would hit with my snow plow when plowing every storm.
Today I took my tractor and popped out one quickly then the second one. Well it took a little more digging. I stll had my Piranha bar on and couldn't of got the rock out without it. I finally cracked it in half then dig it out.
Other then ripping out brush I really hadn't used the Piranha bar much. I take it off in the winter for scraping with the bucket on the hot top I want a smooth edge.
Heres a couple pics.

Wife and I went out to the farm and worked on burning up the brush pile. We separated out about half the brush and started with this pile.
Considering over the weekend we received about 1.5" of rain and had a heavy frost, I had use the blower to help get it going.
Used the Kubota to push the pile around
Ended up with a large pile of hot coals.
It was a productive day and got a lot of brush cleared. Rain coming tonight will fill our hole up with more water (the brush/coals are actually in a 4ft hole that we dug out and currently has about 2 feet of water in it). At the end of the day we push the leftovers into the hole. Dad was already looking at more brush to clear and rebuild the pile.

A service tech somewhere in Eastern OH ears are burning. Doing a full fluid/filter change on the B1700 today and got to the fuel filter. First thought is why is it crushed? Found out when I could not pull it off. Ended cutting the top metal ring off the filter since it ripped free to find 3 damn o rings wedged in there. Didn’t grab a new one when I picked up my filters and my o ring kit is either too small or too large. Looks like Saturday or Monday from the dealer. May hit Napa and see if they have anything close. Will continue on with transmission filters and fluids after lunch. Oil change done. May need an adult beverage break here as well

This has been a busy few days for me with the tractor. I changed all the filters and only spilled 2 gallons of SUDT2 on the garage floor. I finished cleanup wiring of my new front light bar, rear work lights and cameras / monitor. I even replaced my cracked SMV placard. I also replaced a headlight assembly that had a cracked lens. While at it I installed LEDs in both headlights.
By far the headlights were the worst - even compared to spinning off that hydraulic filter and not being able to get the new one to spin on fast enough. Of course my drain pan couldn't take the tidal wave of oil pouring out (I was only going to change the filters, top off what was 'lost' in the filter change).

Sounds like some of my projects. Where'd you get the SMV? I haven't located one locally.
Installed led lights for front and installing front blower. Blower was pain as not set up but did not realize needed the mounts adjusted and driveshaft cut to size. Just finishing up.

Wired and added some lights on the rops. I used the factory wire harness supplied at the back of my BX2680, they made it easy.. one keyed or one from the battery which is the one I chose.

I got that fun to look forward to Friday on my B3200. Didn’t make any mess with the 1700 but no extra filter on that one

Did the 200hr service on my B3200 and gave her a bath. Only lost a bit over a half gallon of hydraulic fluid with the suction filter change. On the B1700 we are around 830hrs and I did complete fluids and filters including front axle fluid. Waiting on the o rings for the fuel filter so I can finish that up and move it out for its bath.
