What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

[RalphVa]

Did more wood chipping with the WM WC46 again today and then hauled some logs on the B2601.

Then greased the FEL points.

Waxed the hood and wheels and other easy-to-get-it places.

Still will not take the 2nd 2 gallons at 10.4 hours, 5.4 hours on this 2 gallon refill try. It'll still be at around 0.34 to 0.4 gph or and easy 15 hours/tank. More or less normal operation this refill vs. a lot of idling in those first 5.7 hours.

Well productive day finally. Temps were 34-37 and was able to free up the frozen barn doors, got the B2410 out, was considering splitting more wood, but by the time I cleared away snow from the front of the barn, got the doors open, worked with getting the hang of the forks and found a place to store the pallets for now, moved a trailer full of firewood, and got that stacked, I was beat. The new tractor is now safe and secure inside my barn and bummed that it is taller than the garage door opening. Says 91.1 and 8' is 96, but it is taller than the 8' garage door opening.

I have a radio, harness, crimp connections and a couple other items on the way from Amazon today, so waiting on those. Was hoping to have it in the garage to work on , but if it doesn't fit...

Are these actual measurements or specifications from the makers of the garage door and the tractor? I know that many, if not most, garage doors are poorly installed and don't give the maximum opening.

I have same issue. Door is 7 wide 8 tall and à slide. Cab very close. Ive left outside for now.
Going to replace with 10 foot this spring normal overhead door. Tired of ice and ground holding the door. Another project.

Put a contrator bag over the seat, supposed to get more snow tonight.

Installed 90% of my 3rd function kit on my LX2610 today. I didn’t install the fittings at the implement end because I wanna make sure when my grapple gets here Tuesday that I have the right adapters and whatnot. I also have to grind a small notch in the right loader kickstand so it clears the bolt head on the new hardline clamp……not a big deal but I was just ready to be done for the day.

It’s the Kubota kit. I’m not a fan of the large loop of hose on the outside of the loader and I thought about modifying the included hard lines to run them towards the inside but that looks like it may create other issues so I’m gonna run it as is for now. The install was a breeze and I’m a fan of the included loader stick with integrated buttons.

Looking forward to testing it out.

The only issue I had installing the kit was not a problem with the kit. Whatever dealer shop gorilla put my wheels on needs a firm slap in the mush. I broke 3 impact extensions removing the wheel bolts. I used my 48” breaker bar and snap, snap, snap. I will say they weren’t Snap On or Mac but they have served me well for 30 years through all sorts of abuse. Met their match today.

I have the Kubota third function kit on my LX2610 and I was initially worried about the hoses in the outside the loader arm but in 1-1/2 years I haven't caught them on anything yet.

I have a ton of work to do in the woods so I have some concern but it’s just something I’ll have to get used to watching. I’m sure it’ll be fine.

I'm confident in the kit enough to order it a second time for the LX3310.

Cleared the 3 inches of snow/ice from the private road I am on. I am last house on road. 7/8 of a mile. Love this little tractor. Started with my older 2007 Polaris quand and thought for a second. Hey dummie that why you bought a tractor. Love the front Blade. Have to try the pvc pipe addition to the front blade as some of the driveway/road is gravel.

What is the PVC addition ?

 

[GibbyESS9]

What is the PVC addition ?

People cut 2 inch pvc pipe down the center and slide it onto the front plow blade so you don’t dig up the gravel. I was going to try it with the ate plow to see how well it works. People rave about it though.

Thanks, May try on other plow for polaris side by side. I wind up with pules of gravel everywhere I leave snow piles right now

I raised my doors to be even or as close as even as possible with the trim and they are 95 3/8 from the floor. I tried to measure the top of the new tractor, but need to pull it out and get the ladder out. Looks like it is right around 92" but for some reason it looked like it would hit the door if I pulled in. I will check it again later to see if it clears, but it will be close. If I have to let air out of the tires I will, I am not working on it outside!

Lol...on working outside. I hear you but as you can see my old Barn shit door is not tall enough. The white channel is 8'5" I an putting another door on soon this is the way I bought the property. So good luck getting ut in a normal garage. I was out there heat on in cab doing all my stuff. Now its 38 and 50 tomorrow. My.luck lol

In hindsight, a picture would probably be instructive but didn’t think to take one. Too wet to do anything much outside this weekend. Only thing involving the tractor was as I was walking through the muddy path to our walkout basement I saw a shiny fine thread nut, about 7/8” or so, smashed into the mud. The only suspects were the Tundra, zero turn, Kubota, and WC-68 chipper. It was kind of thin so suspected it was a jam nut and too shiny for the Tundra or zero turn to be strong suspects so wife and I went down to the heated shop to inspect the tractor and chipper. Approximately 2 minutes into the inspection, by some minor miracle, saw the grille guard hinge bolt on the right side had a nut and jam nut. Left side had a nut but no jam nut. The mystery nut matched the jam nut on the right side and threaded on the left side perfectly. Reinstalled and on to the next chore.

Wife said, “So you can look at a machine with about 500 nuts on it and immediately see where one is missing but you can’t find the potato chips in the pantry in the same spot they’ve been the past 30 years?” My response, “Yep, that pretty much sums it up accurately.”

When I bought mine, I didn’t think about the door height on the shops and shed. I lucked up with 9’ doors on the heated shop where it’s stored, my shop where any significant maintenance is performed, and shed where some implements are stored. With ROPs up it’s 8’11” + a little. Clears all the doors by about a 1/2”. Can’t put a canopy on it even if I wanted to. If I had to put down the ROPS every time, it would be a major PITA. Once in a blue moon I have to pull it into one of the garages with 7’ doors. Hate to even think about doing that.

I think the top of the cab sticks up higher than the specs due to the design. Maybe at its lowest point it's the 91"

 

[UpNorthMI]

I have not cleared the snow for the last 6 weeks at my UpNorth place, I had about 16" of icy mix around the barn and about 24" to get off the roadway to my gate. The tractor with a rear snow blower did not seem like the solution, so I used the KX040 Excavator with a 42" tilt bucket, the nice thing was it has a heated cab and the bucket and rotating front blade eventually did the job to allow me to get my vehicle to the barn and a few toys out of the barn. Hoping to see some of it melt in the next 30-60 days, I have many projects to get to.

If it gets really bad I've still got the old Case 450 dozer to help out.

More chipping again today. Finally took the remains of the 2nd 2 gallons of fuel at 12.2 hours.
