What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

[forky]

Nice looking logs. I planted 100 ponderosa pines (yellow pine) here prolly 40 years ago.
They didn't do as well as I thought they would. Nice enough trees after all these years, but not nearly as nice as the native white pines do here. Just sayin is all. The domestic varieties always perform better in their native environment.

 

[PoTreeBoy]

Southern Yellow Pine (SYP). The trees were felled about 4 months ago so the bark is easily removed which makes for clean logs.

Knocking the loose bark off of the logs is a simple matter.

Here is 3091 bf of 1"X10", etc. that I sawed today. Two stacks seen to the left of the framing lumber that pictured yesterday It will be used for Board & Batten siding.

That's a good two days' work! I'm curious - my understanding is the commercial mills want fresh logs, bluing or insects? Also, are pines cut in the winter or summer better, or does it matter?

 

[Magicman]

Commercial sawmills will only take fresh felled logs because they have no way to otherwise know that there is no rot/decay/etc. I prefer to saw logs that have been felled 4-6 months for the reason shown with them shedding the bark and giving me clean logs.

Used my smallest tractor to spread out a dump truck load of top soil now just need to get it planted.

 

[ctfjr]

I used my most expensive wheelbarrow to spread the last of 16yds of mulch at the front lawn / woods planting area.

Since this is prime deer area I have to be careful what additional plants we put in there. Spirea looks like the best bet so far.

There will be about 8 more yds used in the back lawn / woods plantings. Next week is the target for that.

Funny you should mention spirea. My sister just sent a picture of this she moved from our mother's house. She also has some white that the deer bed right next to.

Broken Soil line today. Short, shallow and not a whole lot of room so, B2650 got the nod today.

Ready:

diggy:

Pipe and stone:

Backfill:

Rough grade:

Customer looking things over....

and many people say that backhoes on CUTS are just a toy. No, sometimes, they are just the tool needed.

Head home.

Where’d you buy it? Natures harvest? Man I shoulda bought stock in them guys

Lower part of the graveled switchback going to the dam had a silted in ditch on one side and was starting to wash down the middle. Hydraulic sidelink made cleaning the ditch and smoothing the path a quick touch up job. Much easier to touch up this sort of thing once in a while than to let it go and do a significant rehab. Only about 15 minutes to fix, not counting the 5 minute warmup.

Helped my wife put a worm bed in the garden. Not sure why but I did it.

 

[aaluck]

Wife thinks I’m silly. I like it though!

You really wanted to use that grapple!!!

 

[S-G-R]

Pulled out a few small stumps and gave the tiller a test run.

Hope they grow for you but I don’t think they’ll taste too good!

Added some shackles from Ken's Bolt on Hooks to my bucket hooks and installed Paul and Kathy's exhaust extension for the LX2610

No clue why your wife wants a worm bed. I think we all know why you did it. Wife wants something; you can do it; you’re not a jerk; understanding why isn’t always required.

The Kommander 123S was loosing air in one front tire sooo. Yup valve stem broken.

New valve stem but....

Yup, wheel bearings shot.

She is happy again for now anyway. The tire guy did not have a stubby stem, so this one will surely get twisted off.

Did you change the bearings too? How many hours on your “kommando”?

 

[Magicman]

326 hours on the Kommander and yes, the new bearings are shown in the first picture. I only replaced the bearings in the wheel that I removed. The other turned smoothly for now anyway.

The boss wasn't happy with the cut from the rotary cutter so I picked up a flail mower and tried it out today. I am keeping a path on the perimeter of our fields as a local farmer hays the rest. I'm pretty pleased with how it works.

 

[S-G-R]

Used the RTR1266 and got the garden tilled up and now I'm off to mow grass.
