What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

[DustyRusty]

suggest that you buy a load of screened loam. It will be a lot easier to grow grass in and it doesn't have rocks. It is a win-win situation.

I was off last week so I reclaimed an old driveway that leads to my shop. I had to go pretty deep to find gravel, but I finally got it and brought it to the surface. I used the box blade almost exclusively with some loader work. I picked bits of grass out with a rake. Just waiting for some rain to pack the dust.

Nice job!

And so it begins........ back bladed 2" of powder off the 550' driveway......

Have company coming tomorrow and they don't have a great track record of winter driving in my driveways so let's make it as easy as possible to navigate the hill etc.

A little bit of snow removal this morning with a lot of snow expected over the weekend. I'm quite pleased with this winter set up but do miss the BX25D with front blower for the parking areas around the house. The hydraulic chute rotation and angle on the snow blower are the bees knees.

I have snow chains for the front but am trying to manage without them since I don't want to tear up the asphalt.

I went up the street to the neighbor to check out a ballast box that the neighbor/friend had for his B model tractor that his wife sold back to the dealer after he passed away last year. The box was under a rubber tarp in the woods so the dealer did not see it or get it. I paid $150.00 for that and a large lawn roller and a de thatcher both to pull with my GR2120 lawn tractor. The box was sinking in the dirt. I am glad that I took a chain and strap to lift it out of the dirt. I was hoping to not have to remove the bricks he used. Yea, no that did not work. I had to remove most of them to get it hooked up. That went pretty well considering it was the first time I had hooked anything up to the 3ph.

I then went home and took off the FEL and replaced it with the 64 inch commercial snowblower.

WOW what a wonderful view. Although that is a lot of driveway.

I have a nice view for sure and I don't take it for granted but it's nothing for up here where my view is very, very average.

The driveway isn't a big deal. Maybe 180 yards of gravel and 170 yards or so of ashpalt with a good sized parking area, but I really enjoy blowing and pushing the snow off. This set up is much bigger than I'm used to and I still haven't figured out an efficient way to take care of the parking areas. I spent a few hours in the spring removing partially buried rocks from the gravel driveway to make it easier on the snow blade and that definitely paid off.

I should have kept the BX25D ... stupid move on my part!!

That's an awesome snow blower set up you have there.

Thanks, been itching to install it.
I have a Blizzard 8.5/11 plow for that F250. We own a self storage facility and it is difficult to plow at times. I have run out of room to push snow and paid a guy to put it over the fence. Now my plan is to let the Mrs Snow blow around the outside drives and throw it over the fence.
That should help a lot and should not run out of space to push snow.

Something I never thought to mention......was something I do pretty regularly. We have a heavy (20 K pound) 5th wheel rv, and use a heavy duty, air ride hitch which weighs 280 pounds.....which we remove when not in use to free-up my truck bed. This is done fairly often! Our old, lighter duty hitch broke down into 2 manageable pieces.....not so this one!

Yesterday, I was using our Kabota to install the hitch for a Christmas trip, when I thought of this forum! So.....another use for the Kabota! memtb

What do you pull that RV with? I'm out of the loop these days as to what current trucks are capable of pulling but 20k sounds like quite the load. My old F250 7.3L wouldn't be able to handle that much trailer.

I remember a few years back reading about a small company that would convert the big 18 wheeler tractors to a single rear axle so no CDL required, refurbish the entire thing and then sell them to folks pulling large RVs. They typically were high mileage vehicles but the refurb would often include a complete engine and transmission rebuild. They were also incredible value for money in that they could easily pull a large RV, have large fuel tanks, sleeping quarters etc.

It was a HOT 82 degrees today and hopefully I parked my ZT mower for the last time.

Ain't supposed to cut grass in December.

But I did plus used the sweeper to pick up the fallen Pine straw. 'nuff is 'nuff.

 

[forky]

Nice place you have there! I love the huge pines too.

Used the snow pusher to clean up the driveway around the house and made a stop at the dealer to price up a LX3310.

Another moving on from the LX2610?

Another moving on from the LX2610?

Probably. I love the LX2610, i put just over 200 hours on it in 16 months and it has preformed well in almost everything i have asked of it with the exception of mowing this past season. I went from a big fan of the mmm in 2020 to completely despising it in 2021 with it constantly getting plugged up with grass and a shoulder and lower back injury making the job of removing/installing it more difficult. I picked up a 84" REM and that solved my back and shoulder dilemma and the tractor handled it fine as the two properties I presently mow are board flat. That being said I was approached to mow a couple other adjacent yards and the 2610 did struggle with the big mower.

So, i tried selling the deck and didnt get a bite on it and i would like to be rid of it vs it hanging out in storage and I was also looking at picking up some additional side jobs with the tractor and wanted to stay in the same frame size since I wouldn't have to replace my trailer or implements. I hope to have pricing sometime this week and if I pull the trigger hopefully see the new machine before summer.

Best of luck Gallows!

We had a lot of wind in central ny last night. I didn't have any problem but neighbors in their 70's whom my wife is friends thru facebook ask if we were OK this morning. They weren't, as they had a pine tree near the house break off about 10 ft from the ground and it hit the house. It was about 20" at the base but broke at a crotch where it had rotted. I ask her to offer help if they needed it. 4 hrs later With much help from the kubota we had it off the roof and patched 6 small branch punches till they can get a roofer there and see if it is OK structurally too. Again it makes me smile to be able to help someone, but the tractor was a big help. I was able to cable it using the high stump as a dead man and a sheave on the part on the house to lift and swing slightly to remove it with no further damage. The near 80 yo Ray never took a break, and this 68yo didn't either.
