A little air in the right front tire, needs a tube but im to lazy to pull the wheel weight then jack it up and pull the wheel to fix it. But I did sharpen the blades on the Woods RM360 finish mower. With that done I thought I might as well mow now. I love the way they mow with sharp blades. uses less fuel too.
What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

Congrats on the new 'bota!! I've never owned a new one, just a new to me one! But i've had 3 of them!!!Took possession of my new Kubota on Wednesday. BX2360 with front loader (and ballast of course). A fine upgrade from my 10 year old Craftsman push mower.Ready to get busy this weekend. Hope the rain holds off.

I used my L3830 to do some gopher blasting I have my gopher blaster mounted to a pallet so it make it easy to transport. Then used the Kubota to springtooth some ground that I'm going to plant safflower on next week (Dove love safflower ) then it started to rain so it was back to the barn for me .

Got to pull my jealous brother out of the creek he was stuck in. His green machine is "broke" and he buried his truck in a fresh silt bed that was deposited in the middle of our crossing. I idled my new machine down into the creek bed, let him hook up the chain and let the tractor crawl its way out of the creek in 4WD w/o hardly any throttle. After he was clear I went back down and dump 4-5 loads of wet gravel in the middle of the creek bed to raise it up a bit.
Congrats on the new Kabota's guys, I am sure you will enjoy them. My L2950 and current L3400 were both used. My wife has has a BX1500 and BX1860 have both been new. Bought my L2950 at the auction and worked it hard, traded it last year for the L3400.
I had my dads buddy come down and look at my b8200 found a couple things out that i didnt know lol
Spent the last two days putting my new-to-me Bush Hog 3210 thru it's paces mowing down all the golden rod before it seeds out. It's a pull behind with hydraulics. Perfect for adjusting to just graze the clover and get the goldenrod. This 3000 lb mower gives my M7040 about all it wants to handle comfortably.
Greased all the zerks and sharpened the blades on dad's G6200 HST. This was a hand me down Kubota from granddad to dad and I recon someday me.
I removed my finish mower from the quick hitch on my B7100 and replaced it with a 4ft box blade. checked all fluids, tires and fuel then loaded her up on my 16ft trailer. Off to the little church out in the country I attend, about 7-8ish miles away. once there I attacked two single axle dump truck loads of topsoil. (not short loads either) Knocked down and then spread, what a difference a box blade makes! FWA sure helps too. All the ruts filled from drainage wash and from the county bring water into this remote area. leveled a few more dips and touched up a spot or two with a hand rake and presto! I then used my little tractor to push a downed tree trunk off into the edge of the woods, again using the box blade but in reverse. All in 4 hrs including drive, I love this tractor!!

Love it when you have the tools to help to do the Lords work. A few years ago I took my Kubota up to my church to dig in a power line. When you do things like that it sure doesn't feel like work
Anytime I get a chance to use my tractor doesn't feel like work! As odd as it sounds sometimes I really find it therapeutic putting in seat time. I can have a really bad day or rough week and I am just as content and at ease bush hogging a few acres. It seems to calm me down a bit too.L. When you do things like that it sure doesn't feel like work
Anybody else have therapeutic session with their Kubota?
After cleaning and repainting the underside of my mower deck with rustoleum paint and then a coat of the non- stick coating.Now I get to put the deck back on. Bummer,this means mowing at least every week for the next 6 months.This has all been loads of fun since having rotater cuff surgery 5 weeks ago!

Planted 6 acres of safflower today , ill be planting a few acres of corn saturday and ill be done planting for awhile
I tilled gardens today for 3 hours. Some have said that a 16 horsepower B7100 won't run a 4' tiller very well, but it will. The gardens that I worked on today were a mess- plowed but not disced, rocks, large grass clumps, and large clumps of old hay. The Kubota did me proud- like I had any doubts...
I did beat up my tiller. I asked the homeowner to walk ahead of me and pick up the big rocks, but he didn't understand the principle. Nothing jammed, but I have lots of dents in the tiller. Oh, well- that's what it's for.

My lovely Wifey-Poo used ask me all the time how can that be relaxing. Let me back up a bit...When I was told I had leukimia I/we cashed in an investment She got an Equinox I got my choice of a new Goldwing or a tractor I have been looking at both. I deturmined that I could use the tractor year around. I chose the BX24. While I was sick I would be able use it on good days and felt like I was the king of the world. Now that I am chemo free I look for reasons to get some seat time. She has finely came to understand I love the time I am on the Kubota.
Well lets see after the old lady spent 169 bucks to have a new dishwasher installed and the joker taking 3 hours to do it and then crushing the water line on the fridge and leaking water all over seeping along the wall and under the tile lifting said tiles, and now having to fix his screw ups I walked into the garage and I kicked the first thing I saw several times,,,,, Unfortunately, for me, the tires on the tractor are much more resilient than my toes!
Like they always say " If you want things done right you got to do them you're self"
