Maybe because 4 gauge copper cable is rated to carry 70 amps max at 60C?
What did you do to or on your Kubota today?
- Thread starter gurn
- Start date
wish I could find that paint. seems that everyone I try is sold out.Fresh coat of orange on a well used 15 year old bucket. Still straight and solid.
More plowing. Really loving this RTV.
Then used the tractor to clear some of my bush road so the dog and I have a walking trail.
I hear all the negativity about R4 tires, but I made the first pass snow blowing UP these hills. But as you can see, it didn't cut right down because we keep getting freezing rain between snows, so here it is on second pass coming back down.

I just put on my front blade for the first time this winter. We are under a winter storm warning for tonight. 4-5" snow forecast and winds gusting to 35 mph. Likely power outages.
60 degrees and cloudy now. Last night we got 1 3/4" rain—the most in one event since 2020. It was only the second measurable precipitation we've had since October. And the only other was 1/4". To give myself hope, recorded it as 3/8". Well, it had been misty the day before. October was two light rains of 1/4" and 3/4". We had drought all summer, too. Weeks without rain.
Now snow? I've got her fueled, jettisoned the bucket, and hooked up the blade. I'm ready, I hope. Have not used the blade, got it with the tractor last February. Last summer I added the rubber edge, hoping to spare my old asphalt. Also have a couple gravel spurs and my daughter's long uphill gravel driveway next door.

I went to connect to my new tiller with my new quick connect but found that I did not have a full shaft. Guess the delivery guy might have lost it on the way here. I remember him stating all the shafts have to be cut to the setup of each tractor. In his defense he asked if I wanted him to show me the connection process and I moved him on to the backhoe. Good out of this is I can have a shaft cut to work the tiller attached to the quick hitch, I hope!!

A dry year in Virginia, too? Same here in SE Manitoba Canada, never seen anything like the drought here in my life, and where we live now the 85 year-old farmers say the same. Our normally 50 ft wide river could flow through a 2" pipe at one point late summer.
Had a bit of precip lately but we're WAY below the normal soil moisture and water table levels.
Yeah, it's been so dry. Weirdly dry and then scary dry. I planted a lot of trees, shrubs, and perennials this year, starting in March. Which is when I became concerned. Then no rain in April! And the pattern of little to none continues.
That is why, I wanted the breaker to be below the max capacity. It'll be a couple week but I'll get some photos.
I grabbed a hunk of rubber roofing and sealed it up under the seat of the tractor to keep the heat in and the cold out. It isn't very neat, but it will do what I wanted. Next summer I will trim it to a better fit. I looked into the cost of the kit that is made by Curtis to seal up all the holes in the tractor when the cab is being installed, but it would have added 3 additional hours of labor and the cost of the kit. I decided that I could live with some cold air leakage. Knowing what parts are in the kit, I am certain that I can do it for a lot less money.

I finally used the front snow blade I bought with my tractor last February. Clearing snow off our asphalt worked great. I may've made a mess of our gravel. It's been real warm until this storm, and the gravel wasn't frozen. It was pretty mushy and I trenched it with the skid shoes and pushed it with the blade's lip. Am hoping it's not as bad as it looks in the snow piles—gravel has a way of looking like a huge pile in snow and alarming you.

Spent the first day of 2022 (also my Birthday!) "playing" in the snow!
My Franken-Blower (Allied 60") & 2501 worked very well in some serious white-stuff...
I did have a potential issue I wanted to ask about...my sister was watching and saw my left boot pushing up against the fuse box while I was turned around blowing snow. She thought I was going to break it off...
It is very close to the Clutch Pedal...
Thinking of making some kind of formed cold roll guard attached to the fuse box mounting bolts to prevent me from breaking the box off and causing all kinds of issues.
Here is a pic of the location of the fuses...
Anyone else had any issues hitting the fuse box while depressing the Clutch on a 2501?

Happy birthday, you have a smart observant sister, I have the same tractor and will have to check your idea for a small guard there!
PS Your sister reminds me of my wife who is always spotting potential problems.

Thanks Bill!
Once she told me...I sat there and depressed the clutch...the size 12 Sorel's were pretty close to the housing just sitting square in the seat. I then checked while turned back around to the right looking backwards. As my foot pivots, it definitely pushed up against the fuse box...imagine there could be problems if any of the wiring shorted from breaking off the box...
My idea is to take some 1/4" cold-roll, form four 90's into a "box" shape, heat & flatten the ends...then drill out to fit the existing fuse box mounting bolts.
Will share pics afterwards...

Snow on gravel here in the south where the ground doesn’t freeze hard and stay frozen can be kind of a PITA as it tends to get unhandily rearranged with close scraping. On the rare occasions I have to scrape the snow off our gravel road I have to run the blade an inch or two above the gravel and then just run all over it to pack it into a surface drivable for the 2WD vehicles. Don’t know of any way to scrape every last scrap of snow off the gravel without making a mess when the ground isn’t frozen hard. Even the split pipe on the cutting edge isn’t perfect on loose gravel. It’s better, but not perfect.

I have been adding a couple of brackets for swivel wheels from an old finishing mower to my back blade for the same reason. Ordered a couple 10" new tire wheels from Zoro that should be here wednesday to replace the originals that were dry rotted. I hope to be able to raise it up a couple inches and not mess up the stone until it freezes.
