What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

Ran the WC46 chipper again yesterday. Plugged both the discharge chute and hydraulic feed roller. Wife cut off all the small stuff with green leaves that was plugging the chute. Will bush hog those. Did it the day before, too. Only had ever plugged the chute one time before this.
For the roller, I used a low rise "racing" floor jack to go underneath the bar over the top of the roller mechanism. Raised the roller and pulled out the stuck piece. Jack came out easily when lowered. Still enough room to get it out.
Run the WC46 at 2300-2400 rpm for about 450 rpm on the rear PTO where I ran it on the last 2 JDs. Don't need the hp. They just loaf along.

Had an arborist top and drop a dead tree behind the house and then did several myself. I’m still a rank amateur when it comes to felling but live trees don’t bother me too too much. One ash was the biggest thing I’ve cut to date. I probably won’t cut anything that large again anytime soon. I limbed everything up and then waiting for some weather to roll through, 50 degree temps and rain, which then froze this morning. It did however melt enough snow off that I could get the tractor behind the house to clean a lot of the branches and logs up. Brush went in a pile off the driveway that will get relocated in the spring, and logs went in a pile behind the wood shed for bucking and splitting in the spring. Now hopefully I won’t have to mount the star link dish that arrived Wednesday on the peak of the roof.

Well, the mini-mini DID have a Kubota engine...and the little bugger could dig. It seemed to be faster to backfill with a shovel though.
Found it:
new trap:
done...I had the easy part. The guys did an outstanding job at this rental property. 5 units and it was a disaster.

Did an hour's worth of chipping of a pile, mostly red cedar, beside the compost pile.
No stoppages this time. All that small red cedar greenery got fed in by the hydraulic roller.

Set out early to plow - what a mess. Top layer of frost is gone + rain = STAY OFF GRASS! This is the weather that really makes me wish I had a blower.
Well today worked on removing water from barn from last nights rainstorm that filled my barn with 8" of water when the culvert frozen and plugged backed up durring the night. Got barn cleaned and bedded with happy beefers inside. Got tire chains fixed on the kubota. Had one that broke a link, and other loosened up to much and was getting cockeyed. Also feed 2 more round bales, fixed and filled my pipeline trailer for working in sugar bush tomorrow. Used kubota to move it around too. And filled full of fuel greased it. And gotta g get a new battery for it in the morning.

I had no idea you could use one of these spreaders for ag lime. Everyone here says you cant because ag lime will clump up in that type spreader. Whats the secret?

There is no problem using that type of spreader for lime powder or pelletized lime, however, you have to do it on a day that there is no wind or even a hint of a breeze. I spread lime using a drop spreader, and it is less likely to blow around. I had a hopper type of spreader, but the fertilizer and lime got under the powder coating, and it rusted in just a few years to the point that it fell apart. Now, I use the drop spreader that has paint on it, not powder coating, and then hose it out after each use. Unfortunately, today almost everything is powder coated because it is perceived as being a better coating to paint. I don't agree!
I installed a hydraulic top link for my Landpride box blade/scraper
I would have liked to order one from the recommended hydraulics guy, but with the lead time - I ordered this one on Sunday, and received it on Thursday - complete kit with all the fittings and adapters. I just had to pick out the right length.

Snowed today ,not enough to plow, so tractor sat. But I did start buying parts for a rear remote.
Greased the loader and blower. Topped off the hydraulic fluid and put everything away then noticed my chute deflector hoses were leaking. Looks like a project for tomorrow.

ebay - greenstractorsllcparts - I got the 24-32" cylinder for my L4060 - seems to work best on the top pin connection for the top link
Was doing the DSOT (Daily System Operability Test from my old military days) checking oil levels, pressures, etc, and noticed the fuel filter on my LX2610 was loose. Not leaking loose, but loose from the mounting bracket. Oh, wait.... the mounting bracket is BROKEN! No obvious impact damage that would cause the breakage. Wonderful - the IPB doesn't list the part number for the bracket, I have to buy an entire filter assembly! This will be the chore for tomorrow. Plus we're supposed to get some snow. At least the tractor is inside!
Update: I think the 2 cab heater hoses that were routed behind the filter may have been enough to break the bracket when the nut holding the bracket to the mounting stud was tightened. Re-routed the hoses to run ABOVE the filter bracket, and the bracket mounted perfectly.

Did some grading work yesterday. Didn’t take before pictures, but there was a berm about 5 feet off the house on each side after this addition was put in. So the job consisted of grading that back in off the house, and moving/grading a couple yards of topsoil that sat on the side
Used the little one to restock the front porch with more firewood. 23F yesterday, rumors of 47F this afternoon. Today I believe I am taking the little girl for a drive through the woods and going to set some taps/spiles and hang some buckets….and then maybe we are going to open up that drop shipment I got a week ago(greenhouse).
Mounted the bush hog, using the U adaptor on top of the QH. Note to self: replace U adaptor with top hook BEFORE putting bush hog on. 'Twas a royal pain trying to get the 2nd pin in on the top hook.
Now gotta remove blades and "sharpen" them. Yearly thing.
Green bush hog. Wife says my tractor and its implements look like a clown.
