What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

There is something different. I cleaned up the fence line in the fall that was full of bush and it was too late to plant trees. That's exactly why the snow drifting is coming across the driveway.

Reminds me of a downstater who bought a 2nd home in the local ski town and had the mature stand of large white pines cut down so he could have a "million dollar" view of the ski are to the north.
Well, the first winter he was there, the water pipes on that side of the house froze due to having removed the wind and cold protection that the trees provided.

Wasn't as bad in front of the garage this morning. Had 20-30" x 60' long at the end of the driveway and the road is worse. Probably 10' in places. They will go through with a "V" plow on a ten wheeler to punch through and then come out with a large airport style blower to widen it out.

Gallows - - wow. Looks like it drifts all over there. Your Road would be a tough go....

There's a similar spot couple miles from here. County puts in a lot of snow fence every fall.

Hey - - you won't need the window air conditioner right away!!

 

[ctfjr]

that's why god made snowblowers

Hey neighbor, You got the same mess I did, I had to use the 8N with the front blade raised up a couple inches first passes. Then redo it with it down to get it cleaned up. That thaw was a real pain as I had a nice surface on my stone till that,

Bill - - - exactly the same here. Been so cold, the base was perfect, and had a couple layers of sand in it from town barn.

Not anymore. Hump at the road frozen solid.

Looks like some thaw next week. May scrape and sand it again then. The hump at the apron may be there 'til spring....

That's actually our mini-split heat pump/ac so it's cranking out heat today.

No, I couldn't pull him out

It was cold and the snow was crusty, so the tractor stayed in the barn. But I did install some accessories that I received this week: seat cover and fire extinguisher.

Against my better judgment, I scraped my driveway with the new back blade. Gave it a coat of sand afterwards, in hopes I don’t have a skating rink in a couple days.

Chanceywd and I got about 2-3” of frozen crap with a couple inches of snow on top. Real mess and solid, as it was 0F degrees this morning. .

Took 20 minutes to get it off the roof of my crew cab truck. Lots of that stuff flying off vehicles this morning.

Sun is getting some warmth, the dark sand, or even pellet stove ashes can do wonders on a sunny day.

Just a follow up: if anyone is shopping for seat covers for a MX, the Durafit order site doesn’t list a cover for a MX seat with armrests. I bought the seat cover model KU25 that is listed for a B series with armrests and it fits perfectly. I called the company and they suggested that model. They need to update their website.

Cut another blonding Ash tree down, but this time I got to play in the snow too. We had around 7-8" of snow. Each log is 60" long.

Went out to grease the FEL on my B3200 after the snow removal. To say the grease is a bit thick at 17F is an understatement. Brought the grease guns in the house and will try again later this week with warm grease. I did lube everything up in November so I should be good but having that tractor covered in snow made me want to make sure I’m not getting any water in those pivot points.

Went out and moved some snow banks that had not melted with our rain and higher temps.

Swapped out the little plastic toolbox for an ammo can then rode through all the trails and pushed any fallen trees and limbs off to the side so the boss lady can comfortably take the horse on a trail ride.

One lesson I learned from snow blowing with a rear blower is that rear cameras aren't very useful when covered in the white stuff.
I read a couple of threads on mirrors and found a pair of these on Facebook Marketplace. Not the cheapest but look very well made and the magnets are typical rare earth strong

 

[Kubota13]

I sprayed my bucket with dry lube waiting for more snow to fall.

I suppose it was probably a week and a half ago, but I moved a new vanity from the pole barn (where it was sitting since we've received it) to the back door so we could install it in our bathroom remodel. Holy crap was it heavy. Only 52" long, but still heavier than snot.

Snow hasn't been an issue for several weeks. We've been getting some, just a couple inches here and there. It's been either packed down or melted down far enough that it's not worth getting the tractor out.
Oh, I took an IBC tote (going to be used for firewood) out of the truck...
Yeah, not a lot of tractoring lately.

Took the rear blade off and put the new box blade on. Easy with the QH.

Using the U adaptor on the top link. It sets the BB up for pretty much level with the top link fully screwed back. Will have to put the top hook on for more flexibility.

Pulled over and took a phone call from one of our tenants......

Quick waste line repair for broken cast iron pipe. Pretty easy one to do and not deep at all so the B2650 got the nod for this moring...

Loaded up, ready to hit the road:

diggy-diggy:

old cast pipe is in the trench with quite a bow (hump) in the center section. When digging from the foundation we thought the line was back pitched. It was just the bowed center section.

pipey, pipey:

Ready for stone and backfill:

Home just after lunch.

Edit: Thought I was in trouble with the homeowner. He met me in the driveway this morning and asked just how I could bring a Kubota to his John Deere farm? Ha. He had nothing but green machines parked all over his place. I told him that I had misplaced too many green tractors so I figured that Orange would be easier for me to spot with aging eyes.
