Didn't know they sold marble chips. I've seen granite but never marble. Looks good!
Drained the fuel bowl three times to get it to run as usual. Must have been some water in the fuel.
Beautifully done.quick yard "cleanup" post excavation to ditch some boulders. Excavation work was done by another who didn't show up in the am for the "clean up". About 96 degrees too.
Kubota engine kept cutting out on me after approx 2 mins of run time. Once when I had the "boulder" on the right in the bucket.

hard to tell from pics, but it was quite messy and the large bolder/concrete debris on the left was approx 7 foot long. I was able to bucket the other junk to the customers stream bank, but that biggie I had to lift with the loader to get a chain around it. I was then able to lift the front of it by chaining it to the box blade and drag it to its final resting place. I needed a plumber to sit in the loader bucket to keep my front wheels on the ground. Split brakes used as well.
Then a couple of passes with the box blade to smooth things out just a bit. maybe I'll get the call from them to come back and finish grade/reseed.

I know various models have various setups so mine is probably different from yours. My tractor came with a wire hook to hang the toplink when not in use. When the dealer installed the hydraulic toplink they put a big zip tie on it to provide a way to hang the toplink in the too small for a hydraulic toplink wire hook. Seemed kind of crappy but it worked until I snagged the zip tie on something and ripped it off. Next time I needed it, it was missing and I didn’t really have a bunch of time for something creative so I used the Channelock’s in the tractor box to bend the wire hook out so it would fit the hydraulic toplink. Now it works just like it did with the standard toplink. Not sure why the dealer didn’t do that to begin with.
Yeah my factory link to hook connection was horrible. It would pop right off every time I hit a bump. Your solution is what I thought about doing before I got the hydro top link
The MX is a really good tractor ... no regrets at all with the cab model.
Awesome! I think I might order the Kubota weights from Everything Attachments. It's a decent deal for 1,020lb at $1.19/lb or 1,078lb at $1.35/lb delivered depending on which weight type fits my bracket. I might have to get creative with the cheaper weight to get three of the weights on since they're 2-7/16" thick. If the more expensive one works with the bracket I can get all eleven weights on since they're 1-7/8" thick.
Could you make up some steel brackets that bolt to the side of the pallet and hang the casters of those such that the bottom of the pallet is an inch or less off the deck and can still roll around? It wouldn't be as nice in terms of having pallets butt up to each other but it's a work around.
That's a good idea, I'm going to take some measurements tomorrow. If I can get away with .75" of height reduction, I'll go with the 1x for ease. If the gap is more than that, I could weld two 5" angle iron brackets together in a Z shape, bolt the bottom of the angle iron to the bottom of the pallet and drill the portion that hangs off of the side for the casters.
Here's another way to get 1/2". Instead of 4x4's for the structure, stack two 2x4's. A 4x4 is actually 3.5 x 3.5. A 2x4 is 1.5 x 3.5. Two stacked would give you 3 x 3.5. Assuming a half inch would help, that is.
Another good idea. I may be able to do that and get 1.25" with 1x planks on top.
