Thank you GURN

I used my B2620 with clamp on forks to raise a roll up door to install in my new garage that I am building, it didn't lift it high enough so had to use wood pallets on the forks to give me a little more height

Sorry I didn't take pictures, I am learning that pictures make the post.

Nice job ctfjr

I just realized something, if I knew that my Kubota could do so much and I was going to do the things I am doing, I would have gotten a larger one.

I wasn't pleased with my job on the driveway so after a day of rain I went over it again with the boxblade and back dragged some of it with the bucket. It looks much better but it could use another load of gravel.

I use my FEL as a ladder all the time. One of the biggest uses of my forks, with pallet on them - the better half is quite comfortable going up for picking fruit, pruning trees etc. She hasn't fallen off yet.

To be fair, the B2601 isn't that high. Mum (she's 70) goes up on the forks of Dad's big Kioti, that's a long way up - I was up on it last time I visited to chainsaw some branches off a gum tree, and you'd hurt a lot if you fell off. Mum has a safety harness but I've never seen her wear it. To be fair, I'm not sure whether it's better to fall on the ground, or swing under the forks from the safety harness banging into things. I'm going to get a man cage made for mine - in NZ you can take the cage off the large cubes that agricultural sprays are delivered in, and they make an excellent man cage. A safety harness would make sense in one of them.

I moved three of these to get rid of a planting bed around the drain field holding tank. This one refused to stay in the bucket.

I am planning on getting one of those 275 gallon water totes (IBC Tote). Take out the water bladder and it leaves a metal cage on a pallet. Put a ratchet strap around it and turn you pallet forks into a cherry picker.

To reach the top of our flagpole I strapped a ladder to the raised fel in order to replace the rope that had broken. The ladder was on the ground with my son 'footing' it. Worked great. To be 100 here the top was only 14' iirc.

Saturday was the first time I really bonded with the tractor. Took it to the farm and after spraying roundup on fields I decided to check the old roads through the woods. Some were pretty grown up with Sweet Gum saplings and other trash bushes. I heard a loud clank as I was driving over a small scrub tree after i used the bucket to push/break it down, it was leaning across the road. Well a little later i went through some more saplings and pushed them down and when I got back to the farm house I saw the Hydraulic valve in all it's glory! Retrieved the cover from the woods and now have ordered the parts to fix this! OOOPS!

Found out (out of necessity of course) where the manual shutdown lever is on the engine (and the fact that I had one).

Got a dumpster to finally get rid of some junk that's been piled up for a few years. Decided after about 3 trips hauling by hand "this is a good job for the tractor".

Yep, it was.

There's a pretty raunchy joke in there, but I suppose this should be kid-friendly content, so I'll refrain...

I finally got the new driveway lights wired and tested today. A project I definitely wouldn't have done without the tractor. I was able to use the post hole digger to drill the 23 holes and the subsoiler to make a small trench to extend my 40v line in the woods (and accidentally snag an on ground conduit that I had to replace and put properly in a trench).

4 of the 23 lights are duds but Amazon already has new ones on the way. A photocell turns them on/off and they are spaced about 14'. Most importantly they passed the boss' approval.

Now I just need to bury the wires and bring some additional fill in.

and the photocell worked when it got (almost) dark

can't wait to replace the 4 lights that are dead
