What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

From success to failure. I miss my skid steer! Neighbor asked me to fork a motor off trailer. “What’s the weight”. 1,000 lbs. No problem I thought. Arrived and saw a 4BT Cummins with transmission, radiator and front portion of frame intact. YIKES!

Weight wasn’t balanced well on skids but I tried. Could curl ok but no way I could lift it off the trailer. Serious bummer for me. He said a SS put it on and “maybe” it weighs around 1,400 lbs. Either way, pugota and I left with our first “failure” in the books.

Last Monday, we brunt the brush pile. We have had two different days of rain, totaling just shy of 3 inches. Checked on the brush pile today and it was still smoking. Stirred up the pile and it took right off.

We took down three locust trees. I hate those giant thorns.

The pile started growing

This picture is about halfway through the work for the day. We worked on clearing an old fence line and drainage ditch. We took down three trees and lots of brush.

We worked our way down to the larger trees pulling fence, fence post and brush.

The pile was getting high again. Ended up doing some boxing blading and leveling things towards the ditch. Forgot to get a couple pictures when we finally decided to call it quits.

My second most used attachment (right behind the loader) is my rake.

Today the rake got a big improvement. The drop leg (stand) on the OEM was terrible to use and impossible to see from the seat. I removed the OEM stand, and added a new drop leg that is stronger, easy to use and I can see it from the seat.

While I was at it I welded the bushings for the QH on so I won't have any clips in the way anymore.

I drilled 62 holes. It was all nasty rip-rap fill, so I used my custom bit. I got most of them to depth.

Finally got back to my upgrades:

Bro-tek wheel spacers. I had broken a 1/2" wrench trying to get my lugnuts off in our last installment LOL....I went pawnshopping and got a 30" 1/2" breaker and another extension and now my tractor is 6" wider. Feels a lot steadier but I didn't go work it.

3rd function: I got this in from EA where I also have a grapple on order. It's the WR Long kit for 272, 302, 402 and a couple other same loader. It all works but it's pretty generic and requires some head scratchin and custom fabrication for the brackets up front. I tested it and it all seems to work but I haven't got anything to plug it into yet. A couple more zip ties and fussing with hoses left to do.

Now I am going to want remotes out back too

Unloaded my cabinets for vacation house. Too tight to get the truck down around the back of the house. Moved them like a gentleman

Forks are very handy to have around

Run a set of hoses from your new third function to the back of the tractor...instant rear remotes!

Time to pile this year's fresh split green Tamarack into the drying crates. That's Sparky the rooster guarding the operation.

Then fork them into the hoop shelter to dry for at least a year.

Then its set by the front door. This firewood pictured by the door had spent 2 summers and a winter in the shelter. Makes for an easy to ignite, long and clean burning, low ash fire, the best imo.

The tractor and forks has revolutionized our firewood handling.

Took the 3200 out to split firewood and wound up in the ER. Reached across the splitter and got my wrist in a pinch point. Didnt break it but it sure hurts. Doc says it will be a few weeks till I can have fun. Right hand pretty much useless for the next 7-10 days

Glad to hear it wasn't any worse than it turned out to be.

I’ve had my mulching blades now for about 10 years. I have thought about trying some regular blades so I can open up the deck and let it throw it out .. but I do love the leaf mulching and for that reason their still on!

I have a set of gator blades for the mower. But I wasn't impressed with how they handled the pin oak leaves. They are smaller and tend to pack into the grass unlike the regular oak leaves that stay on top.

So I was having to rake the sections those leaves packed into so I could chop them. If not, they just stayed put. The high lift blades I'm currently running will draw the pin oak leaves out without raking. But I have to chase the leaves around to chop them all. I'm hoping the mulching kit will cut down the chasing

I'll compare the blades that came with the kit. If they are the same as the ones currently on the mower, I won't bother changing blades till the current ones come off for a sharpening this coming spring.

Every couple weeks I drive the tractor down the right of way across the front of the property to collect the beer cans, fast food sacks and all the other trash folks seem to find the need to throw out rather than take home to dispose of. Living on a two lane state highway there is also the items that fall off commercial truck (usually trash), too. Nearly filled a 55 gallon garbage bag with "gems" from the right of way today.
