Yeah… That’s exactly what I do NOT want to do. Sometimes no way to avoid; just have fix later.
Awesome. Been there. Hope the spousal unit understands why we do it. For the forum, now is where I’d love to hear everyone chime in about tire type and traction. At least it was not with the tractor on steep slopes and full load…been there too and wrinkled the seat. Only thing that makes it worse at my house is when the dog runs through it and I let her in the door first. Oops.
I was just thinking a few days ago how annoying it was to have the dash displaying metric equivalents. I had the manual out a day or two before that with no luck. Thanks for your post!
I had to unload the grapple from my pickup somehow. Either the Kubota or my Raptor was getting muddy and I already had some lighter tracks from the tractor so the choice was made.
Fortunately my wife doesn’t care. She knows sometimes it can’t be helped. I just try to keep what’s visible from the street from looking like a disaster. I’ll fix the mud pit when it firms up.

I was talking to à buddy who recommended Kubota about me lucking in to that screen. He said if à person buys the 150 dollar service manuel it goes over this. I guess this is a dealer service screen. I was holding button trying to find another screen like I did to set the clock. Looked at all the letters randomly and saw units. I don't think I need to know the rest. I like to pass on information. I am always happy to get help as well.

Felled, limbed and skidded about 1.5 cords of tamarack firewood trees to the bush work/loading area.
There we'll cut to 8 ft lengths and haul out on the trailer to pile it near my driveway. There a neighboring firewood processor/seller will bring his processing rig and buck/split it up for me. His PTO firewood processor is run by a Kubota L4060.

I agree. But at $300/cord to buy processed firewood and only needing 4 cords a year it's worth a few days toil on the machine.This little tractor handles itself exceedingly well in tight larch bush quarters and deep snow. Easy on fuel. Those pallet forks are really versatile at log handling (and getting me un-stuck).
The trails I use for dog walking almost daily. It's been a bit of a challenge keeping up with snowblowing the trails and drive this winter, though. But now the weather has settled a bit those trails are frozen deep having been cleared all of this rather cold winter. So no rush, a cord a week easy as she goes including cutting to 8 footers and hauling out on the trailer too. Done by April and a trip or 2 with the chipper for the limbs.
Boxbladed the driveway down to gravel to facilitate melting after the 2 one inch flurries that hit this past week.

Got my quick hitch today so I was able to size and cut the pto for the WC-68 chipper. Tried it out on the Christmas Trees that the kids had. I believe I'm really going to enjoy the new equipment.
Scratched it.
Pulled some Tarzan vines out of trees a few weeks ago. Was rolling and folding them onto the burn pile, one end slipped out and landed right on the hood. Dang it.

Looks like a low speed buffer would clean up most of that pretty quickly. After a little touch up paint and some more buffer time you’d probably be the only person that could find the damage.
Or you could just say screw it, it’s a tractor and leave it as is. That little scuff won’t slow it down any.
I’d like to say it wouldn’t bother me but truthfully I’d buff it out and touch it up.

Yeah, my brother had a similar incident with one of his JD’s. Shattered hood. Much more painful experience.
And much more expensive. We have a JD X500, my wife ran over a bees nest and then proceeded to run into a tree with it. Shattered the hood, and a replacement is over $1000. I found I can just replace the shell for $350 and put the internals and other pieces from the old hood on, so I did. Much easier to repair a steel hood than a plastic one.

Quick spot repair on broken sump line that had separated. Whoever installed the line in the first place didn't use a pressure coupling (didn't look to be glued either, just primer). Anyway, service tech found a rather large, aggressive frog had taken up residence in the 4" outlet. The frog attacked the line camera. Pretty funny.
Small job in tight quarters, so, the B2650 got the nod again. I forget to snap a pic of the machine, but I promise that there was a Kubota on site...
Dig -
Broke 2 water lines (sprinkler and not sure what the second pipe was for). Fixed both in addition to the sump line. Also snagged a cable and fiber line. snagged, but did not cut so we're good to go. And yes, PA 1call had been there, no lines were reported where we were digging.
Repair
Done - couldn't do much with the mud. Pump just kept running while we worked. We managed to save the brick walkway. Done just after lunch but it was a very chilly morning at 14 deg. Brr.
