What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

[MOOTS]

Congratulations! That’s a great upgrade. Not cheap but worth every penny.

The toplink on a float detent remote has been a game changer for mowing rough areas. I was running the toplink all the way in to cross the creeks, run it back out to mow relatively level but still able to pick it up, and disconnect it to get enough float in the really rough areas. Can do all that now with a quick wrist flick without shutting down or leaving the seat. Area I mowed over the weekend took a little over two hours and cut quality was much more consistent floating most of the time. With conventional toplink took more like four hours to do the same area. If it was all flat probably wouldn’t make that much difference.

The side link similarly increases efficiency grading. Almost surprised it isn’t an option on the deluxe models.

Worth every penny indeed.
I didn’t put a float remote on this tractor, very rarely used it on the LX. With the float the cutter provides, I should be fine. No creeks to cross, and what I mow is mostly flat.

Removed wood chipper and put the box blade on. Reminder to self: remove bucket when backing tractor all the way into the basement of the carriage house to pick up the box blade. Only 2 or 3 inches to either side to avoid having the FEL tip gouge the doors.

Dragged home another cord of tamarack logs today. A few pics here of one skid run.

Got a pretty good deal on a LP RB1672 blade today for my little B from FB market. About 2 years old and used less than 2 hours (500 bucks!) STILL waiting on back ordered backhoe (BH70.)

Soon a gallon of diesel may be 500 bucks. great deal for that blade.

Got this installed today in the 70 degree weather. Works great just put two male blade terminals on the wore that came with it and plugged in to the plug up under the interior panel. Had to dremel the hole a little to as the factory hole was only 1 inch. This is 1.25. View attachment 76079

You beat me to it. I got mine last Friday but took a trip to Florida for a couple days so haven't touched the tractor. My mirror mounts arrived, but haven't picked them up yet.

Florida sounds better Did you buy a rear light switch yet ? I wound up with an extra 1. Its for the rear work lights and the light hit included a 2nd switch as I already had ordered 1. Your welcome to it, I'm just in Ohio I can send it your way instead of holding on to it for 10 years. I don't return stuff.

Thanks, but have one already. Other than making the brackets for the work lights, and the under seat PTO switch, I have everything. I just picked up the rest of the parts to mount the mirrors and have them ready to go on. Still waiting on the 3rd function/quick attach remote kit to arrive.

Ok....thats awesome you have all your a stuff now..i want to add the3rd function at some point. And a grapple. I read these 4060 are set up very well for that, something about the electrical swich uses currrent joystick. I noticed a plug in the top. Your tractor is identical to mine. I use mine every day. Moved more rocks and dirt today. That under the seat pto is so easy to do. I want to get a chipper this spring. Think i have 20 hours on it already.

Ordered 2 bushings and a pin to get rid of a sloppy joint on the BH. I’m probably have to destroy that pin to get it out, it’s seized in the bucket pretty good.

Today I finished the install of a joystick to replace the 2 rocker switches for my snowblower. When I converted the blower to electric chute rotation and deflector control I selected the rocker switches. They work but. . . the extra material at the fingertips of my gloves made it clumsy.

I found the joystick on Aliexpress and initially thought I was going to need a bank of relays to interface it. Turns out their switching description wasn't exactly spot on but perfect for my application, no relays required.

The original two switches:

I used heat shrink to seal it. On the bottom open end I filled it with coaxseal and then painted over with liquid tape.

I need to touch up that bracket - the disk grinder almost wenttru it in an instant.

Good thing that I took a little bit of time and read your post. I thought from the pics that you made a bomb and delivery system for your tractor.

Ordered a et of LED lights/wiring and received my grill guard because I know without it I'd put a stick through my grill in less than 10 minutes of testing my grapple. Now that I have the guard I'm sure it will remain pristine.

Still at 2.x hours on the tractor since my ground is still too wet to get anything done without leaving ruts everywhere. I made my first payment though.

Ive only stayed in my drive, but worked on my turn around/circle driveway some. My grill gaurd rattles at times. Hinge pin for some reason to. Think im going to drill and add a grade 8 bolt. Not sure why it folds, im sure you guys kniw but it is annoying to me it rattling as i work.

It folds to open the hood. Tighten the hinge bolts.

You have to hinge it forward to provide enough clearance to open the hood. Not trying to dissuade you from adding all the bolts you care to add, but you’ll have to hinge it forward or take it off to open the hood.

By grill guard I meant I bought one of those overpriced (IMO) aftermarket water jet cut shields that bolt to the factory guard. It’s only money.

I’m also now shopping for a pto wood chipper.

There are quite a few here with PTO chippers. Woodmaxx, Woodland Mills, Wallenstein, probably some others. Obviously mine is a Woodland Mills and I’ve been pleased with its performance. Primary suggestion is get something with hydraulic feed. Some swear by double roller. Mine’s a single roller and having many, many hours running a double roller 30 years ago I don’t see any significant difference but not arguing with those who feel otherwise. You may not want a ton of advice. If you do just start a thread asking what chipper you should buy and brace for the onslaught of opinions.

Supposed to be 51 on Sunday, so will move the tractor to the garage, hopefully it will sneak in under the door, then I can attached the mirrors and get the lights mounted and wired in, along with the cruise control switch. I know the lights going on the front will be nice and bright, but I haven't seen how the other set I have look in the dark so may wind up getting another set from Amazon for the rear. If I can figure out how to run wires to the front bracket where the signal light is, I may put the rear ones I have there.
