Finished the remote linkage and it works great. I'm surprised Kubota doesn't make this an option.
What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

Used the forks to unload a skid of pelletized lime. Had to handbomb half on to another skid first. Had the tiller on for rear ballast.

One guess...
I can't believe that this thread was on the 4th page today. Just what have y'all been doing?

Have been tied up working on house interiors and estate matters since my father’s passing to the detriment of some of the usual outside maintenance so the Kubota has been sitting more than I would prefer. There was a mud hole that had developed at the basement door of Dad’s old house I got tired of slogging through and dragging mud in the house so a very short trip to the creek for a half bucket of sand and another short trip to the gravel pile for some washed 3/4” to top it off was in order. Not much of a project but would have been without a loader.
The reason Kubota didn't make it an option is because it can be dangerous. You will be operating in a crush zone. It's a nice tidy bit of work but be careful back there!

Nice. Didn’t know there was an OEM option to add a brush guard to the grill guard.

Got to use my new 3-point forks moving hay last night. So much easier than stacking them in the bucket and on the loader arms. Now to put some castors on a couple of pallets and they will just roll into the shed.
Yeah like putting my backhoe on and off following the manual. I try to just slow down and pay attention, no distraction like talking to someone. I think that is all part of working safer.
I took a course back when I was a vol. firemen. It was about farm accidents and avoiding them. The instructor said you should never step over a connected PTO running or stopped. And then he stepped over the one showing us in the class without thinking. I called him out on it and he realized how easy it could be done when distracted.
I still like your remote handle and can see it's use. especially when hitching something up.

Spent about an hour 'un-sticking' my L2350.
I was mowing an area way back in the woods that I am going to plant (small food plot) for the deer.
Got a little too close to one soft spot. Tried to back out...but the front tires hogged out the mud in just a couple of revolutions and left me high centered on the front loader mount (cross member). Once that happens you might as well just stop.
With no good way to get another vehicle either in front of it or behind it....and not wanting to winch it out sideways....I had to resort to a 6,000 lb. hand operated puller. There was ONE small tree directly behind the tractor I could use as an anchor point.
The tractor (as equipped at the time) would weigh about 3500 lbs. but overcoming the resistance of the mud was going to give the puller (and me) all we wanted.
The puller has a handle about 3' long so you can get pretty good leverage on it. Even so...I had to really set back on it...to just get it to 'click' one time. Each 'click' would move the tractor about one inch! But at least it was moving. I had about 5 feet to go....to get it where it would drive out on its own.
Here I finally have the tractor out about half way.
And while I don't recommend pulling on attached implements to extract yourself, sometimes you have to do...what you have to do.
And before anyone asks, NO..... no 'alcohol' was involved. Just plain old carelessness was good enough to cause this. Will be more observant of soil conditions next time.

My new wildlife pond dig continues. I was able to get a couple hours in today. I figure I am about 25% completed. 6 hours total time so far. A small dozer would have had it completed in the six hours with spare change! I enjoy the process. This pond will be around 3500 square foot and will require a clay, sodium bentonite or geosynthetic clay liner.
This trail cam has started taking foggy pictures. Its a cheap Moultrie that has been in service now for about 5 years. Not too bad I guess considering the extremes in temps here in central Wisconsin.
The deer can not resist fresh turned soil. When I arrived today the pond dig looked like it was rototilled! I have a new camera going in beginning of the week.
