What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

[memtb]

My son’s visit continued and he wanted to keep working wood so he and my wife/his mom split wood while I hauled logs from the windfall in the creek bottom back to the wood lot and kept enough cut into blocks to keep them busy. Still work to do before we’re done for the year, but decent progress for only about 4 hours over 2 days. Having the grapple to shove brush out of the way and knock down little scrubby junk for access sped things up a good bit.

Bringing it back in 7’ sections takes multiple trips but I lift it a grand total of 2 times; once to put it on the splitter and again to stack it. It’s all grapple work before that. I don’t know if that’s the most efficient way. Sure is the easiest with our layout.

I’m glad that my trees weren’t as large as yours......pushing those over would have been quite a work-out for my little Kubota! memtb

Just some overdue maintenance last night.

My forward facing light bar that is magnetically mounted to the ROPS crapped out a month or so ago. I'm replacing it with 2 smaller lights, one mounted on each side.

I found there wasn't enough forward / side illumination with the light bar so I'm canting these outwards a few degrees. Will adjust as necessary.

I have my ballast box outside and was concerned about water filling the 'storage' holes and freezing. They are already half full. . . So cut pieces of foam pipe insulation to an inch longer than the length of the hole and inserted them in each hole. Held down by a rock / brick. Some expansion space for the ice.

We had a jungle of Russian Olive and Salt Cedar along about 150 yards of our river frontage. Last fall, I pushed down a lot of the Russians and the Salt Cedar getting a flat rear, a bent hood and grill, and a punctured radiator. An expensive and difficult undertaking.

Have you considered buying a tree puller? I got this about a month ago and have been pulling olive and rose out roots and all.

Actually.....I didn’t! Having purchased that may have been less expensive than damages incurred!

I had such a small section to clear.....not certain the cost would/could be justified! Ah....the beauty of hindsight! memtb

Decided it was time to put the cab on the B2650 and get ready for snow before it was too late!

Step 1: Lift and place the rear half on tractor


Step 2: Lift and place the front half


Step 3: Lift and place the roof. Put door on hinges.


Installed a few bolts and done! Now all that's left is to hook up the heater hoses, connect the lighting, and mount the snow blower. An easy afternoon later today or maybe tomorrow, as there's a good "Western" on tv this afternoon!!

Moved it from behind the house to down by the pond.

Nice cab David! How do you like that heater? Good output? Im trying my ceramic heater this year that came free with the soft cab. I imagine I will run plumbing for a real heater eventually!

Is that a manufactured cab or your own design? I like it!

Thanks, Leveraddict!! The heater works great and I can blow snow in shirt sleeves in -20F. See the link below for more info. Or just ask.

Thanks, Bill. My own design according to my needs. (Still making small improvements as time allows.)
I have to clean up some wiring and make it easier to plug in/unplug lighting, etc.

Sure is nice to see someone that gives a rip for how they leave a site!

careful Steve, you might get that truck dirty if you keep taking it out of the garage like that

came out great! and the set up looks awesome.

put some leaves out to the curb for city pickup. Blower and grapple, make short work of it

I bet they love it pulling up to your place with the vacuum truck!

As much as I hate to do it...it was necessary. Just turned 12K miles on it. Not bad for a 2018.

Took some pictures today.

Finished up the Lown performance grill guard/chain bucket combo.

I had a customer to bring 5 Cedar logs for sawing last evening but it was too dark to do anything other than unload them.

The U25 handled that chore quite nicely.

So I went back this morning using the M4900 to move them to a more suitable place.

The Thumb on the forks helps to stabilize the logs. It will be at least mid-December before I can get to sawing these logs.

Looks like you have a fairly substantial sized counter balance weight on the mini? That must help quite a bit when spinning a load over the sides of the tracks? Did you add that weight or did you buy it that way?

 

[Magicman]

That is the way it came and I suppose that it is not an add-on. If I normally had to do night work, it would have lights.....probably will add them anyway because it was dark last evening.

I may even investigate adding better head lights and add rear lights to the M4900. Did I say that it was dark last evening?

Widened the driveway in a few places, and added 2.49 tons of 1" minus cinders. Rolled it in after.
