What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

[Rzims]

I don't have a grabber bucket, so I've been using a debris bag to haul leaves and brush to the burn pile. Finally got around to ordering a set of Kens hooks...boy does that make it easier...

Digging stumps recently....only one left - and it's a 3'fer!

Did the front end get a little light as you are going up the hill? I have never used a ZT but it seams like driving up a steep hill does not sound like a great idea. Stopping the mower as you go down backwards does not look like something you want to do either. I load some equipment on my trailer butt first because driving up the ramps forward allows the front end to become squirrely.

Yes a couple times the front wanted to “wheelie” but not a “puckerable” event. Backing down the hills requires a steady, purposeful, motion.
This was much easier on the BX in 4WD but as I said, I will get used to it with the ZT. Some weights on the front would be advantageous but I’m not at that point yet.

Pretty sure that you are holding it by the wrong end.

Yeah but it will Stihl cut.

The last time there was vehicle access to this fence from my side was the mid “80s. I now have plenty of brush piles to burn. I will pull some of the Hedge wood out of them for future heating needs. The Honey Locust & Cedar can just burn.

After finishing sawing the customer's logs into lumber he;

Used the Kubota to pull the sawmill to firm footing so I could get the truck to it.

17,261 board feet stickered under the drying shed. (That is not a very good stickering job but I was sawing and the customer was stickering.)

Hopped on the B1700 to mow today. Gave me a couple fits getting started but after making sure the clutch was in, transmission in neutral and my butt in the seat it started up. Got done and parked it in the garage and went in to my next activity, cleaning the chicken brooder. Walking to empty the waste I looked down and saw this in the grass. Interesting. It isn’t from the seat or the clutch. The only one it can be is the transmission interlock and yes it won’t start now. Guess I have an after dinner activity now.

I don’t care for the potential of corrosion, etc. of direct ground-contact with implements. (I store shredders, etc on top of boards or bricks to avoid direct metal-to-ground contact.)

So I built a rolling stand which keeps my PHD upright, and all I have to do to hitch it up, is roll the stand up to the 3-pt,, put the pin thru the top-link, lift the lift-arms into position and install the lynch-pins, and hook up the PTO. Then start the tractor and raise the 3-pt …and pull the stand away from the tractor.

Reverse the procedure to store it again.

I didn’t invent the stand…I copied the one found on YouTube….wish I’d kept a copy of the link.

Basically, it’ made of 4” square tubing. I’ll take a pic and post it later.

Well folks, I did it. My borrowed time finally came due: I wedged the post-hole-digger and the lil BX couldn’t lift it out.

My soil is glacial till and there’s an abundance of “potatoes” waiting to be found. They range from softball to lumpy beachball sized. I can usually work them up (or around them) and the trick is to feather the 3-point down so that it’s not given any chance to “thread” onto a rock. But, it was the last hole for the night (naturally), and I just got lazy and let it drill on in.

The auger would spin just fine, but no matter how I nudged it for and aft, it just wasn’t budging.
. . .

I'll second that your solution was inventive

On my L3400 / BH years ago I did the same thing. Was unable to rock it free. A 3' pipe wrench with a 2' pipe 'extension' made it easy to remove. Just unscrew it.

You're so lucky you found it! Saved you a lot of time and worry.

Yes. With the rate the grass is growing and three acres of it not to mention trails, extremely lucky. Raining again this morning. I think I can hear the grass growing.

Started on the Trifecta Stumpola!

 

[MOOTS]

Leaky rear axle on a F mower at work. Hmmm, that seal is upside down... maybe why it’s leaking.

No idea who has been into this before me, this is the 3rd seal on the 2nd mower I’ve found installed wrong.

look at all the rocks if a stump grinder was doing that job

Finished the first section of my fence post property line with the LX3310 and PD25.
