What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

Here I am with all this fancy s#$t and I still just use the safety chains over the top edge of the bucket to move the trailers around. I have the nice forks with receiver built in, I have the QH 3pt with the hitch built in etc. For me it's just faster using the chains.

Before the nanny police get on me about using the safety chains to move the trailer around, it is a dual purpose exercise. I am also "testing" the chains integrity every time.

that works great until you have an attachment on the 3 point. I found the bucket mounted receiver makes short work of moving stuff around because 90% of the time the bucket is on the machine already and there is always something on the 3 point. Moving with the 3 point or draw bar is ideal, but sometimes not as efficient.

I tried the thing that attaches to the bucket lip and did not get a good feeling with it, i think it moves the leverage way out front for a light tractor.

Plus for me I need the added maneuverability provided by front mounting things.

The draw bar is WAY too low to do anything with the travel trailer.

Been doing it that way for years around the shop yard. Sometimes the forks are on the JD110, I'll use the hooks in the Dring.

Grapple hydraulic hose repair. I somehow got a branch jammed by the cylinder and compromised the hose. I'll get a new one made up tomorrow.

100% agree, a front mounted hitch is a world of difference in moving trailers. Think aircraft tug. You can turn that sucker on a dime with full visibility. Been using a front mounted ball on tractors for years moving boat and ATV/UTV trailers. Love it set up in the front.

Started fixing my gravel drive and putting in a swale with my box scraper. The arrival of the scraper, last week, completes my tractor purchase I started in March. Three months to receive the tractor & almost 4 for the scraper.

That is depressing news. Now what to look forward to??

10 minutes with the new County Line subsoiler, an hour with the sharp shooter shovel, 54 feet of trench 12 inches deep, and DONE.

I bought one of these tool box holders from bota products. I cut it, welded it up so it was fitted across the back. I liked it so much I ordered one for the other side. This allowed me to delete the flimsy cross brace that was taking a beating from my top link.

Cleaned up my driveway side edges by hand picking up big rocks. Makes brush hogging the grass edges more fun now.

Wished you lived close. I would take every one of those rocks for my drainage ditch. Helps keep erosion down. Great looking tractor.

Thanks, been alot of "chain gang" lol type work picking those up. Probably picked up around eight bucket loads already. Hopefully only a few stray rocks left.

We grow them up here. This was bucket #4 from this food plot.

I officially have tool box envy. Diggin’ the setup in the background.

Water line complete. Trench covered. Time for final inspection.

Put 9W X 8.5H doors on my new shed. A bit of a pain to brace for, but glad I did.

Started a project... Trying to make a clear line between my lawn and gravel drive. Sick of rocks in the yard and yard in the rocks. Ill try to smooth everything out, put down sod and add gravel this weekend.

that is going to turn out great, and help with your OCD.

I did a similar project (for same reasons) with 6x6 PT ties to create a border. Using a stump bucket I dug the 'slots' for the ties, lifted them in, and finished around.

Got the new rake out to finish cleaning up after a 100+ ft ash I had to take down a few weeks ago. Made quick work of it on a hot and humid day.

Next up is planting natives down there. It's too wet to mow regularly so it just gets hit with the rotary cutter a few times a year. Figured some local varieties that like wet will look better than just....whatever leftover grass mix has been growing there.

That's exactly what Im going for right there. Thats excellent.
