What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

[mcmxi]

Got the grapple on yesterday to move some boulders from one side of the gravel driveway to a temporary location on the other side of the driveway to make way for cutting the downward side of the driveway with a new flail mower/mulcher that should be arriving soon. I moved the big one in front of the grapple without any implement on the rear but it was questionable. The cab adds 500lb and the rear wheels weights another 600lb which all helps. I couldn't have done it with the open station model without wheel weights.

And FINALLY took the time to swap the fittings around on the grapple so that I don't have to keep switching the hoses on the third function to make the grapple and Land Pride STB1596 snow blade work as I want. Lower button = close grapple/rotate blade left, upper button = open grapple/rotate blade right. I should have done that last year but kept putting it off.

Didn't do anything with the BX2360 today, but did stop to oogle a B2301, LX3310 and L3301 at local dealership..

B2301 had a blower, but no loader (?) other two had loaders, but the LX3310 had a SSQA blade in place of a bucket. Price tags were $28k, $33.5k and $28.5k, if my limited memory serves....

Made me glad to come home to a fully-equipped BX2360 that's been paid for 7 of the 9 years I've had it.....

Would still like a bigger tractor someday. Love my old 'Moline; it's my heritage. But it's capabilities are limited for what I need.....

Finished up today—not perfect (yet) but at least accessible. Fortunately the county road is along a creek so plenty of gravel available.

I welded a hitch on the front plate of my new l3901 so I can push hay wagons into the hay shed (double hinged hay wagons are evil when backing them up). Or whatever needs a hitch. I guess I could fab a quik tatch grille guard in it too. Hope it holds

Used the wicked 55 on the l3800 to pick up limbs from some P Pine that i started on today. There is going to be a lot of grapple use this year.

Good job! I love raising poultry and have been doing it for decades. Collected 16 eggs yesterday as the numbers are picking up with the longer daylight hours. Having the tractor with the fel makes cleaning up much easier after a long Winter here. The gardens really do well with the composted manure.

I use my wood chipper chips for my chicken coop and run winter bedding.
The best.

Mowed for the first time this year. Last year I laid out a bunch of sod. I needed to try and smooth out all of the spots where sod was laid. I ordered a truckload of sandy loam and spread that with the FEL on float. Also tilled the garden.

Thank you.

Last year I bought two remote kits for both dump trailers so that I can raise/lower the bed without the need to run the controllers and cables from the pump to the cab of the truck or tractor. I finally got around to installing them on the trailers and they're a game changer for sure.

I used the tractor this morning to move the 16' dump trailer, dump the gravel, wash it out and get it ready for a friend to use for a few days. I also discovered that the 7-pin plug on my trailers won't work with the 7-pin outlet on the tractor. Maybe Kubota has an adapter?

I bought the 10' single axle dump trailer to run behind the tractor and make trips to the dump, but it's much easier moving the trailers around using the tractor. I won't hook up the 16' dump for any reason other than to move it a few feet since it's big and heavy.

that trailer set up is awesome!

The 10' single axle dump trailer behind the MX is a really nice set up but the big 16' is too much trailer, but the remotes are seriously cool. So much better than messing with the handheld controller and cable. If only I could open and close the tailgate without getting out of the truck. That would make trips to the landfill really easy.

Thanks for the link. I'll probably remove the Kubota installed receptacle and replace it with the standard 7-pin receptacle. The Kubota one is nice though being made from pot metal. One of the possible issues is that the brakes on the trailer will lock up unless I add a brake controller in the cab of the tractor. I have a spare controller so could do that.

started the engine warmed it up and thought about the bevel gear I can't find anywhere...

Just missed out on an 8” Woodmaxx chipper deal. Only 2 hours away too.

Felled some trees, cut some wood, made a brush pile, and played on the little B. Got a sunburn!

@mcmxi
Suggest you put the remote on a neck lanyard (with breakaway feature) so you will have it with you when are off the tractor and won’t lose it if dropped

like this idea. I am going to get one made for my B2650HSDC

Awesome trailer set up.

Trying to hook up loader and arms after removing front snowblower. Having hard time connecting hoses. Looking for system I saw that you connect all and use a handle to pull in and attach. I have problems with hands so not easy to maneuver in the small area connections located. Maybe I will make some extensions for the fittings to come out further from behind arms. Another project on the board.

My brain kicked in as never had this issue before. Then I remember of course that the loader itself can also have pressure on the fittings and not release. Cracked a couple of fittings to release pressure. Went on like a dream. that is why it is best to eave and come back before something is broken. Just updating all.

Well, I actually finished it yesterday but worked a double today. I went from this....

to this...

Now to install all the MMM stuff and fix the 3 point linkage and fix the large dent in the hood that sticks out like a sore thumb.

Nice looking unit.
