What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

[D2Cat]

Nice work! Bet you didn't have trouble finding material.

 

[Magicman]

You are correct. White Oak decking that I sawed last year. The stringers were old utility poles.

 

[Quick]

Nice looking bridge, Magicman!

I bought a P90 in '92. It was my first centerfire semi-auto and it was junk to put it mildly. I traded it plus $300 or so for a new SIG P220 with Hogue grips. I still have the SIG. Ruger makes some great products and some not so great products but the P90 was never even a good product.

THAT …is what I wanted to know…. (To continue to try to make this P90 work properly…or to dump it.)

Thank you.c

The P345 has better reviews. Did that model resolve the problems?

(Since it uses the same mags…..and since I have a bunch of thoe mags… it may make sense to make a trade…)…??

I had the P345 and put around 700 rounds of ball ammo through it before I sold it. It was a great gun I just get bored fast.

I would advise you to dump the P90 and every magazine that you have for it. There are numerous affordable and reliable choices these days, far better choices than "old" Ruger designs. It really is the golden age for pistols, and firearms in general.

This is the "what did you do on your Kubota today" thread so I'm going to quit with the gun talk. My apologies to anyone offended by a few of us drifting off into the weeds.

Just greased mower deck and smoothed a couple bumps out of the new driveway stone. Crusher run has packed in real well. Very solid.

50 degrees this morning. Little chilly…. I know it’s really hot where many of you guys are.

Teaching my daughter some loader work. She did real good for her first time.

Mowed some grass before the rain started and assembled my PHD stand. Overpriced but does make life easier.

Today was Bush hogging day at the Cabin/farm property.

The Cabin greeted us when we got there this morning.

And then it was off to bush hogging the trails.

Plus pushing the downed trees out of the way.

There were 6-8 trees that had to be pushed.

I was on the M4900 pulling a 3008 Bushhog cutter and Marty was on the old JD 1530 with a 6' cutter. We started early and cleared the 7 miles of trails before lunch. Another job getting ready for our traditional July 4th trail ride/scavenger hunt checked off.

 

[S-G-R]

The rain didnt last so I was able to mow the remaining 4 acres. Put the bucket back on with a receiver and moved the trailer.

 

[ACDII]

Baled 62 bales of hay with the L4060 and NH 273 haybine. At least now I know that once I get the weeds out and the right grasses fully established, I will be somewhere around 240 bales per cutting, thats good for ~ $1200 in hay.

Two-fer today...

Job 1 - regrade/repair from when I dug the line in April. This is the one where we had to call the municipality for a broken water service line before the curb stop. They dug up the street while we waited.

Thankful for the Kubota ... and that it wasn't oak or hard maple

Tired. Long day.

Better up your price per bale. I had to pay $12 for a small square last week.

The rainy monsoon season in my region started this week. I attached and greased the rotary cutter to get ready for field mowing season.

Yesterday one of my neighbors texted my wife to see if I could unload a gun safe for him. Was able to get it around to his basement door. I had my box blade, plus 240 pounds on the 3pt. Didn't have any problems lifting it, but I could tell it was a little top heavy.

 

[Bmyers]

Did some mowing at the farm. Also, checked everything over from the storms on Friday. Lots of little branches down and one old tree that was covered in vines came down behind the house. I pushed it into the brush and will work on cleaning it up this fall. When I was pushing it into a pile, stirred up bee's nest. I was very glad to have the cab, they came out mad.

How well does the L4060 handle the 273? Is it on the ragged edge or a good match, or somewhere in between? How flat your field is probably figures into the equation quite a bit too.

Did you ever have one of those small tasks that somehow acquired 'project creep'?
I have a small area on the north side of our house that I wanted to replant grass in. It hasn't been touched in 30 years.
It's only about 40 x100 so I planned on ripping it with the box blade then use the tiller. Part A was no problem. The BB ripped up the ground nicely. I just wasn't prepared for all the potatoes is would bring up.

Using the tiller presented a problem. The space is small bordered by the house with AC units sitting there, a fence and a drop off into the woods (artificial wall I built when the grape arbor was there). There is only one 'open' end. Ok will only use tiller where I can reach without destroying anything.

Then I thought this is the time to replace my conduit line that goes from the house into the woods for my critter cameras and low voltage lighting. So... it may not be a backhoe but its a whole lot better than a shovel!

The stump bucket has turned into a very used implement. Of course trenching / replacing the cables now has doubled the scope of the job.

It did good, very little ram push, unlike the B2410 where you could see the tractor being pushed back and forth, only on a hard hit of heavy grass do I feel it in the cab. The baler only needs 18 PTO HP to run, so power isn't an issue, weight is, and why I went with the one I did instead of a John Deere, the Deere was several hundred pounds lighter at a cost of several thousand $$ more. I figured if my B2410 lasts 20 years without any issues, an L4060 should do the same.

Having 2 tractors is awesome too, really helped with getting the bales put away, I moved the trailer with the lil mule and used the HSTC and forks to gather the bales, 6 at a time to be stacked on the trailer. Eventually once the fields are growing grass instead of weeds, and the yields are higher, I can have the lil mule towing the trailer behind the baler picking up the bales as they come off. My fields are not big enough to triple up tractor, baler, trailer, not enough room to turn it around. Only baling 3 1/2 acres, but my neighbor may want me to do his 4 acres, so 7 1/2 acres of hay should fill a barn.

Now to find a right angle phillips screwdriver so I can attach the Seat pto switch.
