Please post a picture when the Garage Princess gets dirtyim almost ready to start scraping the paint off the bucket, just need tooth bar to arriveand then its into the woods!
What did you do to or on your Kubota today?
- Thread starter gurn
- Start date
Installed magnetic side mirrors. These are almost a safety issue and should be on every tractor in my opinion. Low cost and so beneficial.

I get what you're saying but not sure just how much it would help in this situation that happened last night up the road from me...poor young 23 YO was hit on his tractor from behind while slowing to make a turn...really sad.
I suppose that mirrors sure couldn't have hurt the situation in any way.
Man dies after crash involving farm tractor, 2 other vehicles, coroner’s office says (UPDATE)
The wreck happened late Tuesday night and the 23-year-old was pronounced dead early Wednesday morning.

Wow, I'm so sorry to hear about this. My main concern has been more of an around the farm issue. My wife is bad about walking up behind me when I'm on the tractor and I have no clue she's there. Not that this is a safety issue, but I did some brush cutting this past weekend and it was helpful to see what was going ton behind me while I was cutting.I get what you're saying but not sure just how much it would help in this situation that happened last night up the road from me...poor young 23 YO was hit on his tractor from behind while slowing to make a turn...really sad.

taking that stuff out is THE WORST! esp if it has been in the ground long enough to have like inches of soil and growth all over it.

Its bad. Its 3-10 gallon pots side by side,roots are one continuous mat, some good sized trees with wild roses all over and bittersweet vines.Some of it has been there 10 years.
Thinking about a stump bucket.

got it dirty today but only spreading a few truck loads of wood chips was not enough to scrape up the bucket! Im on the look out for the nearest pile of rocks
More like what did you do on your kubota the last two weeks. Busy time at home and not much time on here, back at work now, tons of extra time 
.
cleaned up some storm knock downs including a handful of large apple branches, and pruned some more of the apple trees to make mowing easier.
Then more stone for the doggy pool pad.
of course I needed some way to lift the firewood to stacking height that didn’t involve my back.

Stump buckets are the bees knees. I've torn up some serious undergrowth with mine. Not very expensive, and the performance talked me outta gettting a backhoe on my LX.

Got a Pirahna tooth bar coming, who knows when. Debating on waiting and trying it or getting a Titan
ordered mine 4 weeks ago bob, I checked on it a few days ago, and her response was it could be another 3 weeks.... hopefully yours is on the way soon. Im reluctant to use the bucket without it

Ordered mine Aug 8
I'm using bucket but being real careful. the 60" light material bucket is not heavy enough for what I'm doing. I ripped enough for now anyway, have to chip the stuff thats out of the ground. Plus I'm still cleaning up storm damage from last September.
Not today, but yesterday.
Got the diesel tank down of the shelf with the forks, put it on the trailer, got diesel (heating oil) from in town, lifted tank off trailer and took round the back (approx 250kg), connect pump leads onto battery terminals, pumped into house tank. (This makes my tractor battery flat if I don't do a decent run afterwards, the dynamo doesn't charge well when I just putter around).
Put diesel tank away. Knock pins out of pin-on forks, bang pins back into pin-on bucket. Video-ed it this time, for future use. Took 12 minutes end to end, which isn't too bad, but it went pretty well this time - they magically aligned easily.
Mow lawns before my video conference for work, which meant mowing with the loader on, which I haven't done for ages. Reminded my why I don't do that - harder to get near the house, and makes the tractor much bumpier to ride on. I think it chews the lawn up a bit more too - more load on front wheels.
Did my conference call, then took mower off, added ballast box. Drove down to help neighbour move some fill. He has an old Massey 135 I think (diesel one) with a "scoop" on the back - manual tipping dirt bucket that goes on 3ph. Took the dirt we dug to the local reserve and spread it to fill in holes and level some things. I mow that reserve, so should make it more comfortable over time. Still a lot of digging to do, maybe this weekend if it stops raining.
Put the mower back on, put the forks in the bucket, put it all away before it rained.
