What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

[NCL4701]

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

Wow! Sounds like you had a pretty good backlog of chipping similar to what we had when we bought our chipper.

We put probably 50 hours actual PTO time on the chipper before we got caught up. Now that we’re in maintenance mode it’s more like a half day a couple times a year but starting out it was a big job and burning wasn’t an option. (Which is why we bought a chipper.)

I finally got my front work lights installed. I bought Crée lights, they do not plug in to Kubota harness. Bought pigtails online. Got everything soldered and heat shrinked. Very bright compared to stock back work lights I got fron Messicks.

Its amazing how many times your head is going to find those mirrors. I'm always thankful that I only put one on and can hop in and out the left side easily. But yes they are needed

Dealer told me the same thing. But that was when I had none and he was selling it to me.
I already have hit them, lol....

I use mine plus kitchen compost to make mulch/compost for gardening.

I have to make mounts from 1 1/4" angle for the front lights, the rears look like I can just open the hole already there a little larger and mount them there. For the connectors I went and bought a Deustch kit, 2 pin watertight connectors that crimp pins and sockets to the wires and plug in. No soldering pigtails.

Those are nice. I have that same kit but I wasn't wanting to cut the Kubota fémale connectors off. Wasn't bad changing the light wires on the workbench.

If I could find the light side connectors, I would use those and not cut the harness, but no clue where to get them or what they are called or who makes them.

Yes I know, the only ones I found werevon EBay that I put in the other post. Even the dealer was clueless. Sucks. The 1 dude posted some les that come with the correct plug. If I change the rears im going to find those. Think pioneer or something. Créé did include à replacement for the tractor that will work with thier lights. I just scoured to find a way not yo do that. Im.sure Kubota sells à New harness at any rate. As long as they work the rest doesn't matter.

The Ebay dude no longer has any pigtails but here was the link
Braided Pigtail Connector for adding rear LED Lights Kubota B and some L tractor | eBay
has to be another source somewhere

I saw those links, and for the price of one pigtail, I got a 8 connector set of Crimp on connectors instead. I also got a full 2 pair LED light set for half what a 2 light set costs from that other place. I have 2 pair on my B2410 and they light up the entire 36 x 80 barn. Some of this specific for stuff is way over priced, there are many other routes to take that cost half as much and work just as good if not better. My time for me is free, so if it takes a little longer, it takes a little longer, better than sitting on my ass all day too.

Those crimp on will work. Ive used on trailer.
I understand completely on overproced specific stuff. But I hate cutting harness so I forked out 41 bucks. Wasn't happy about it. But paid 42k for tractor. My own real money from not sitting on my ass either , so I didn't want to start cutting wires.

 

[michigander]

Made a payment.

March 8th B2601 will be here 3 years.

More wood chipping and wood hauling. Finally checked the air in the R14s for the 1st time, along with all the other vehicle and dolly and cart tires. Rears only had 15 psi. Put them at 20. Fronts had only 20 psi. Put them at 25.

What did I do to my Kubota today?

Bought it!

Welcome to the LX club. You're gonna love that tractor.

By God, what is Wool Wax?

Rust inhibitor, for those spots where you know the paint is just gonna get rubbed back off again.

I believe this Virnig grapple is sturdy enough. I know it’s not the crowd favorite but I have work to do and it got here in 5 days.

Finished up the couplers and tested out……success!

Unfortunately I gotta wait for my property to dry out a bit before I can really put it to work.

 

[Chanceywd]

It looks like the same model I bought from messicks last fall. Only too about a week to get. Same here, waiting for things to dry up and hand surgery to heal. It should be handy for my firewood I do each spring and save a lot of bending over!

Enjoy yours!
