What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

[Magicman]

I love mine and got it specifically for log handling.
It's a great tool, work that thing

I Thank You Sir for your influence toward me finding and buying this Thumb.

Cleaned up some remaining snow. Next time we get 1’+, the BH needs to be on. A lot of traction issues without the rear weight.

^^^ I did the same using my EA back blade. The #1 critic told me yesterday that I didn't make the plowing wide enough

Using the offset I was able to really widen it today. It's a good day to do it as the temps now are just above freezing so a lot of the driveway will be down to the gravel.

I have to say the 1st and only things I have purchased from Duluth
Trading Co (on holiday discounts) were a really nice insulated jacket and pants. Today I didn't bother putting my insulated bib overalls on and was really comfortable in them.

...A lot of traction issues without the rear weight...

Look up tire grooving, lots swear by it...

As promised, a few pics.
They don't do justice to the scale of snow depth when you are actually standing in it.
1- Shot through the french door, it is 37 inches to the center of the door knob and the deck is at least and inch below the house floor.
2- Looking back at the house, and where the aforementioned deck resides
3- Standing on the front porch looking towards the shop
4- Looking at the house from the shop
5- Looking up the driveway
6- Fueling up with the HF battery pump...it failed moments after the pic was taken

No pic of the barn damage, but I did cob it all back together and got busy with cleanup and didn't get the chains on. There's always tomorrow

I filled the BX back up with fuel after yesterday’s snow work.

Took about 3+ gallons to top it off. That’s probably the most fuel I’ve run through it in a day.

That thing did a lot of work on just 3 gallons of diesel.

I finished installing my orange colored homemade "Pope Mobile" cab. Lights, heater, and controls all hooked up. Detail cleaned the cab's operator station and installed my winter front covers. Greased all fittings & blower driveshaft, checked the gear box and oiled the chain. Snow pusher blade is on blocks and sits ready to go. Even cleaned the windows! We haven't even had enough snow to pack the gravel down with but at least everything is ready now.

The new Thumb got used today:

This Eastern Red Cedar log looks big because it is. That is a 26" top end. A neighbor had given this tree/log to me several months ago but it was still standing. The power company crew dropped it today so now the log is in my back yard waiting for me to sawmill it after I decide what it needs to be.

 

[RCW]

Nice rig and results. What type of tire chains are you using and how do they work preventing side slippage?

Frank - sorry it took a while to get back.

My chains were ordered from my local hardware store, but many use www.tirechains.com. They're simple 2-link ladder chains.

They do help with sliding sideways for the rears. I cannot function without them in the winter. I have a set for the fronts, but haven't put them on yet. My fronts do slide quite a bit also.

I don't need them outside snowblower work.

Sometimes, I do slide in the summer months on steep ground without them on.

That manageable for me.

Saratoga

EEEEEEEK`s, that`s COLD and SNOWY country over there, lol.
I was just up there in september at the vintage car auction near Ballston Spa. Beautiful area!

 

[S-G-R]

Oddly enough there still isn't any snow here but I picked up my pallet forks that I had a SSQA bracket welded on to it and had some hooks added to the loader bucket. I also went to the dealer to pick up a grapple but they had none in stock. Could be another six weeks before it comes in.

 

[gmbc]

Had to troubleshoot tractor stalled and no start. The treadle pedal switch is bad. Got bypassed for now till order replacement. Cleared some snow with bucket. Moved wagon seat from pallet to wagon. Removed loader and installed snowblower. Cleared snow with blower.
Whew

 

[Magicman]

I had to get the Zero Turn out yesterday and mow the lawn. Hopefully maybe one more time and I can park it for the Winter.

 

[Bmyers]

We did more brush and tree cleaning.

 

[Roosters2250]

Im helping a friend with his l2250.. It was free to him by me asking about it. I recycle pallets and my motto is the phrase that it never hurts to ask. I have seen this kubota l2250 sitting still in a corner of a fenced lot where I get pallets from. The previous owner said that it ran and but when other machines needed bolts it was starting to get stripped.
So I got it for free and I am trying to help my friend who isn't the most mechanically capable person .

Today I decided to remove the treadle pedal switch in preparation for new one. while I had it out I decided to check it and now it works fine. I used a multrimeter and checks out good. No more blowing the fuse. Installed back into the tractor if goes will have to replace it. Maybe intermittent issue just seems weird. Oh well that is how it goes. Greased her up and also noticed that there is a small hydraulic type cylinder for the pedals may be for centering assit?? =It seems to be seeping oil will have to look into getting one. PITA to change for sure. Guess will just have to clean her up now and wait for more snow

Pushed and piled the snow banks back as far as possible from around the shop and house
in preparation for the predicted [hah] rain event that is headed our way.
One year we had accumulated a large frozen snowpack that was piled high against
the outside wall of the shop.
It rained hard one night and that snowpack funneled the rain into the shop at the wall shoe level
and put a couple of inches of water over the entire shop floor
I keep them cleared out now.

Been there an done that when we had our new shop built. Now we keep all snow cleared away from the shop.
