What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

[foobert]

What spreader is that on your BX?

It's a Cosmo S500 that I picked up off craigslist for a little under $200. It'll hold 500# if I filled it to the top, but, it tends to "slosh" out in the bumps, so, I usually keep under that.

Nice! I have briefly searched for them for my BX, but don’t have enough need for one at the moment

....but don’t have enough need for one at the moment

I bought one and have not used in 5 years. Friend just sold his hunting land and had 10 bags of lime to get rid of (sitting in my basement now). I guess it can be put down anytime? Trying to locate where to put another food plot.

Just relocating some firewood to the porch today...

It takes lime about 6 months to break down and do it's job. Pelletized works a bit quicker but may not be as long lasting.

I normally use pelletized and put it down with the fertilizer and seed after I disc in the Fall. It's just more convenient for me that way.

 

[RCW]

I certainly wasn’t spreading lime of any variety…

It was a little brisk this morning. Thankfully almost no wind. That’s degrees F.

Did get some wood pellets. Now a little over 3 tons left for the season.

Also stopped at my local hardware store for a re-supply.

Always use the white bottle anyway. We’ll just call the 911 “insurance.” Looks like a couple more nights below zero next week.

Nephew and I went to the farm today. Had to jumpstart the Kubota, battery didn't have enough juice to turn the motor. We got everything warming up and went and cut up a tree by the barn with the Stihl MS271. The 20-inch bar wasn't long enough to cut through, so had to move from one side of the tree to the other.

Nephew used the MF383 to drag some of the larger sections over to the wood pile. Once we got that all cleaned up, went to to the top of the hill by the house and the nephew cut up a tree that had blown over while I hauled the sections to the wood pile.

Made quick work of both trees. Still have some brush and smaller limbs to clean up, but with 15-20 mph winds and the temp in the teens, we decided that we had accomplished what we had come to do and will get the rest on a little warmer day. Although, I pointed out to him that it was a nice 70+ degrees in the cab with no windchill, realizing afterwards that he is about a foot taller than me and several years younger and could probably easily whoop this old man's butt if he wanted to.

All in all, we had a fun day.

 

[S-G-R]

All done with 5 gallon cans for filling the tractor. I'll pick up a battery that will also serve as winch power for my landscape trailer.

 

[Outnumbered]

I decided to take the toys down in the woods to heat me up for the day and the house next year Two decent sized red oaks dropped and blocked. I will take the splitter down in a couple of weeks and then haul it all up to the barn for the next year or two's wood. in the 20's today so it was perfect for this type of work/exercise.

Moved some snow today

 

[iafarmerken]

Started cleaning up my farmstead with my KX057-5 excavator. Little machine with a big heart. I'm surprised how much it can do. I'm glad i didn't go bigger than i can haul with a 3/4 ton pickup.

 

[edritchey]

Moving some skids of Woodbricks over to the house

 

[dirtydeed]

Tried out the new speeco "e-hitch". To my surprise, it works with an old 6 foot rear blade from an 8N.

Moved the top link connection on my EA box blade and that will now connect too. Yay.

 

[lakehouse_dreaming]

Moved some old panels and gates into the woods to patch a fence line that runs through it and had some limbs and tree fall on them during last weekends ice and this weekends snow. FEL made it much easier than in the past but I am really looking forward to pallet forks as well as a grapple.

It appears that when that tree in your picture comes down, it is going to take those wires with it. Doesn't the utility cut the treetops when they start to grow into the wires?

They do trim the limbs when they get close. It isnt as close as it looks in the photos.

Finally got snow here. We had about 4” over the last two days and a lot of wind. Biggest hassle was the 2’ drift up by the house. Drive didn’t really need done but I scraped it anyway and used the Orange to get today’s mail

 

[Hkb82]

Same in my area. Just starting to get enough to make it worth getting the blower going. Got about 12 inches of fresh powder. Love blowing that stuff lol

That's because you have a cab. I would prefer the wet sloppy stuff any day. It's not as easy to avoid a clog, but something about having a solid stream of snow going into the woods is nice. I'm not a big fan of the amorphous cloud of snow to drive thru.

I did several years without a cab and obviously comfort level is way better but visibility is not always better with the cab. What I have noticed with getting a heated cab is we now get less snowfalls. Go figure lol
