What did you do to or on your Kubota today?
- Thread starter gurn
- Start date
Got my auxiliary LEDs wired up. I gotta pick up some more wire loom to be completely finished but it’s 95% done. $50 total investment. Not bad.
Looks great! For wiring, did you run power from the battery to a relay/switch or tap into an existing circuit? Those harbor freight light bars have been calling to me...
I direct buried a cable due to price of conduit. It was cheaper to rent a machine and put it 5' deep. Dug about 250' 4-5' deep in clay in 6 hours of machine time. Hit the clay lottery, my bucket only filled up a few times, and the rest of the times I would pull out 2-3 feet at a time as it would stick together. I rented a u35 with 3000 hours. It only sprayed me with hydro fluid once. Wish I had a heavier machine.
I went right of the battery with a relay. A 12 awg kit was $20. I didn’t want to splice anything into the factory wiring.

Thank you, that makes me think that it wouldn't hurt to run a dedicated IP67/68 fuse/relay box for lights, fans, etc... before starting any projects

Sure, yet notice how the url in your link ends. The NZ forestry careers harvesting directory name: forestrycareers.nz/forestry-careers/harvesting/tree-feller

What would you call a female feller/faller, or is the term gender-neutral? Before political terms were introduced, the word man would be gender-neutral and designate the person doing the job. i.e. fireman, policeman, etc. now they are firefighters or public safety officers. It only took a couple of decades of political correctness to throw out the system of the English language that took centuries to develop.

I think you may not get a desirable reaction calling any lady a she feller regardless of profession
Now I am officially a part way feller or faller -
I moved the snatch block to another tree yesterday and tried pulling 90 degrees from the fall angle. It cracked a bit and the tractor lost traction. That's when the Kubota was put away.
This morning after the rainstorm last night:
It took the tree it was leaning on down with it. At least now I can cut it up reasonably safely after I take down one of those trees its X'ed in.

How about a fallin' lady? Better be runnin' and hope she's not totin'.I think you may not get a desirable reaction calling any lady a she feller regardless of profession
Ordered a factory cutting edge for the 54" bucket on the LA535 LX series loader and I believe the smaller B series loader as well.
I followed advice on one of the threads here to locate the cutting edge as most dealers sell this as a "kit" that costs $20-60 more and I believe the only difference is that it is painted. No dealer in my area stocks this kit, however, most do stock the unfinished cutting edge and separate hardware. I paid $212 shipped to my door (one day shipping from northern MI). Dealers will try to push for you to buy the kit vs. the separate cutting edge and hardware - I'm sure there's more margin in the kit.
Anyway, here's what I got to hold me over until I get my EA toothbar (5 week lead time quoted). I'll be throwing this on later today to prep for the weekend. I included part numbers for those who are interested in going the same route:
