What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

[MOOTS]

Matt - somewhat similar, I had an audience while I mowed yesterday.

My youngest “son” so to speak. His first experience with the tractor up close.

He followed me around at a distance. I probably missed a few spots…..

Lol. Was not expecting a dog!

 

[MOOTS]

My boy does that all day and also demands rides. He's getting big enough to where the seat belt won't buckle both of us in at the same time in the very near future.

That’s awesome. I let him ride some, just putting around, not doing work.

I’ll have to find the pictures of me on dads old ford, the one I sold a few years back, I was probably 3 and on it alone. Dad would push clutch in with his hand, pop it it first, a bit above idle and turn me loose! Lol. Couldn’t reach the clutch or brakes. Usually stood on the transmission to steer.

Ha!

Closest we have to a youngster ‘round here anymore.

His older brother, our youngest child is 23, and one of Geddy’s favorite people.

Put my L4060 HSTC to work this past week. In addition to my 4 acres, I got another 4 acres of established hay, and wow what a yield. nearly 200 bales from those 4 acres where I am lucky to get 70, if that from mine. Have a way to go.

I ran out of light before I got the bales off the ground and of course had a downpour this morning when the weather report was dry until 11 AM. Now I have the bales sitting on the barn floor with gaps between them to help them dry.

At least the hay was baled!

Windrows look pretty stout.

Bet it worked the tractor and baler pretty well.

I've picked up a lot more bales off the ground than I care to admit. Usually meant something broke...I wasn't very big at the time. Could barely reach the deck of the wagon.

Conventional small bales? They look long. Bet hefty if they're tight....

What are you using the hay for?

 

[drumminj]

You're absolutely right. I kind of apologized to @NCL4701 for my presumptive comments. We all have our own wants, needs and ideas. It's good to get the chance to compare different models on the lot, to get a sense of the size differences, but we don't typically get to use them on our properties unless we buy them. Many of us will never know if a different sized tractor would be better for us until we make a change.

I appreciate this. And yes, you don't really know unless you get to demo the tractor on your property, doing your tasks. I bought my 4701 without even driving one...luckily this site exists and I was able to get a good sense of the right size/model based on the discussions here.

Ironically, I was convinced I should have ordered an MX before the tractor arrived . So far I've only wished it was smaller so far - not once wished it was bigger.

All I can say is, grease your loader pins!!

Thank you for this post..I had thought a while back "there has to be a way to grease those things.." but never saw a visible zerk. Looked more closely today because of your post and found them - buried in grease and dirt. Only 65hrs on the tractor so no reason to be concerned, but without this I may have forgotten to go back and figure out a good way to apply grease to them!

 

[Mlarv]

A little sea wall repair and stump pulling. My boots where full of water from the sea wall repair, so I didn't get the stump pulled yet I figure I will finish it off tomorrow. Sitting back now with my feet dry par taken in a frosted malt beverage. This is the first weekend with my BX23 I put 11 hours on it since Tuesday afternoon. Most of it was today. I figure I will bring it up to the garage and grease it, and inspect it in the morning while I have a cup or two of coffee.

There are 10 on them for the loader also look at the rubber mat on the floor. There is a little flap there open it and grease that one as well.

Not to be a Karen, but it is not safe for the two of you you use the same seatbelt. If you have to stop fast you will crush the person in front of you if you are both buckled in. I have seen this in car wreaks, also on planes they tell you not to do that.

Have a pic you can share? The 4701 doesn't come with rubber (floor) mats, so not sure where you're suggesting to grease.

I have greased all the other loader zerks (as far as I'm aware) every 10hrs or so. Just never saw the SSQA pin zerks before today.

Well I have a smaller BX23 so I just figured everyone did(-; I am not sure on yours the BX has a zerk under the floor that most people forget.

You must run incredibly fast tractors

Prep work for dig next week. Need to remove old landscaping in "scorched earth" fashion.

Ready:

Scorched Earth:

It was a hot, muggy, sweaty one today. I decided to leave the stumps for the excavator. I didn't want to grab them with the hoe for fear of breaking the cleanout connections. There is already massive root intrusion in the waste pipe (6 feet down).

So, homeowners...be very careful just where you decide to plant your landscape trees! You'll be digging up your waste lines down the road if you're not careful.

Headed home

10 yards of material stuffed into a 6 yard box. It sure beats unloading by hand:

whooped. that heat and humidity just knocked the crap out of me today.

Same, we go for a short cruise down the driveway and the private road in the neighborhood in L or M. Sometimes I'll have him sit with me for a minute when I dump a load of dirt or gravel so he can see the FEL work. If I'm doing actual work, my wife keeps him far enough away and I am constantly keeping an eye out to make sure he is where he is supposed to be.

Appreciate your concern and I agree that a shared seatbelt in an automobile or plane (both of which are capable of travelling at speeds that can do damage to the human body) is dangerous. On the other hand, a tractor in L driving on pavement isn't going fast enough to cause any harm to either of us. The seatbelt is buckled around both of us so he doesn't accidentally fall off while travelling at slow speeds.

Wow, there was a house behind that bush? Now they're going to actually have to mow that front yard

I dig the tow/dump rig, very efficient!

The inefficiency was dumping the stuff into the bed of the truck. I had left the damn tooth bar on. I hate that friggin thing when I'm dealing with brush. Everything gets caught up and wont dump. I should've taken the 2 mins to remove it...but I was very hot, sweaty and tired....like a dummy.

Yes Kevin, I know, I know, get a damn grapple.

 

[aaluck]

We cut and laid RR ties. The start of my latest obsession….a clean line between the driveway and the lawn. Have three done that I did last year. Expanding now SORRY FOR THE Duplicates Not sure why

 

[nbking]

Yes that dump rig is sweet
