Did the first mow of the season with the FDR2584. This was the first time I used the pto on the 3310 and I appreciated the extra hp. I wish I was able to compare the 2610/3310 on the snowblower but I'm pleased i made the switch.
What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

That's one lucky mule! I hope he enjoys the view too!
First bush hogging of the mule’s pasture this season.

I installed a Kenwood head unit and microphone in the M (same model that I have in the MX), then added another Scosche magnetic phone holder to the grab handle on the passenger side door, and finally drove about 3 miles in 16 minutes along back roads to drop the M off at the dealer.
The dealer will have the M all next week to add the following:
3rd rear remote and float valve
3rd function
540E/540 on PTO
Creep speed
Top-n-tilt
Adjust wheels to widest setting
Add 1,500lb of beet juice ballast
Later in the year I'll have them install a rear window with defrost along with a larger alternator. I would have selected both options if I ordered the M but it was on the lot so bought "as is".

@B737, I would never have guessed that you were in NJ in those photos. Good looking set up you have there and a very nice property. I run a similar rotary cutter in the form of the RCR1884 and like it too. I'm looking forward to running it behind the M in a few weeks.Brush cut a few acres today, I love this RCF2060!
NJ is only missing; space to breath, big sky, low taxes, mountains and nature
Put the right rear lift arm back onto the shaft and put another pin on. Zip tied that pin as well as the left side and even the one for the top pin.
Three of the pins on what is called a turnbuckle on JDs were missed securement pins. Put cotter pins in them instead of those slide-off pins.
Quite an ordeal in lifting up the front of the brush hog with the FEL and sliding some logs underneath because the trail wheel kept rolling. Finally pinned it in place with 3 bigger logs.
Will get the PTO shaft and top hook to the QH on tomorrow. Too wet to do anything.

Listed it for sale, since my doctor told me not to buy green bananas! I'm not going to leave it for my wife's next husband, let the bastard buy his own with his own money!

What the heck?! That doesn't sound good. Hopefully you're joking.

Freebie post excavation cleanup job. Did it for free, but it led me to land another easy-peasy NOT FREE job from the homeowner.
So, it will have been well worth it (I hope anyway).

After clearing downed trees from one of my trails they were heavily rutted from the LX. It has been too wet to deal with so the trail was still unusable. There were still some damp areas but we’ve had a warm/dry week with rain expected tonight so I figured I’d give it a shot.
I have only used my box blade to prep flat areas for planting or to do some modest yard leveling so I’ll call myself a novice. With the tines down I was hooking on too many large roots so that option was out. Just the 515 pounds of the blade itself had to do the work. After a few tweaks of the top link I found the sweet spot and it made pretty quick work of it. It’s not perfect but the ruts are gone (many spots were a foot deep) and I’ll have to wait for the clay heavy soil to completely dry out before final leveling.
I was in too big of a rush before sunset to take many pics.

I am joking about selling the tractor, but old age is taking its toll on my body. I need 2 knees and 2 hips, and 1 shoulder repair. Does anyone have some spare parts that I can have? Every time I see another doctor I learn more about my body that has been withheld from me in the past. It is really depressing to learn how old I really am. I still have a mind of a 40-year-old, but a body of a 100-year-old. Just started another new medication today, and I was depressed when I made the original post. I am over it now!What the heck?! That doesn't sound good. Hopefully you're joking.

Wish I could help DustyRusty! Got both hips done over 20 years ago and seven years later the right shoulder all titanium and ceramic! Soon Ill be ready for round two on the hips! Im only 60....sheesh. Doc said I should get 20 to 25 years out of the hips depending what I did for a living! Yeah..I abused the hell out of them. I was only 38 when I got the first hip done, Dusty If your health is good I say GO FOR IT!

I was only 38 when I got the first hip done, Dusty If your health is good I say GO FOR IT!I'm ready, but doctors move on their own schedule, and I think that golf takes priority in their lives. So many of my doctors have retired, there is definitely a shortage of them today. I can honestly say that I don't blame them because they like the rest of us can catch Covid, and it is a death sentence in many cases. I believe that their thoughts are to get out and eliminate the risk, by reducing the exposure. I got my 4th Covid vaccine on Thursday and I know that it might not protect me against some strains of the disease, but hopefully, it will protect me from getting severely sick should I contract it.Wish I could help DustyRusty!

I hear you! Many of us wake up every day with aches and pains and we didn't get them throwing a ball around for millions of dollars. Such is life. I don't know about you but having tractors and wanting to enjoy them for years to come makes me want to be as healthy as possible for as long as possible.
I hope you feel better this weekend and buy a bunch of green bananas!
