Used the grapple to move a lot of branches and logs at my parents properly as we slowly cleaned up the mess from Fiona. Back at it tomorrow as we work through the family members properties.
What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

of course on the bed . . . He and his sister Daisy (Black Lab) sleep there (even tho there are full sized dog beds on the floor). Its a juggling act every night for everyone to find their spot. My wife is more protective of her 'space' and the dogs know I'm a pushover. At 85lbs and 70lbs they take up some room.
Created this 20' circular outdr fiire pit and potential tent spot for a customer....the hill ide made things a little challenging!

Spent another day cleaning up Fionas aftermath this time at my stepson's and a good friend's property. Grapple = favorite attachment ever.

not sure I really want to post this one but...
small re-grading and seed job after a soil line dig/installation. I had thought this would be a larger job than when I pulled up this am. Not much room to maneuver with a long landscape rake on the back end.

there's still some room for improvement.

Senior moment today cleaning up the garden. Placed the hand pruner in the convenient slot on the upper front end loader arm under the top zerk. Forgot I placed it there and lifted a bucket full for the compost pile. Halfway there I discovered the mistake. The zerk is mostly gone and will need to be replaced. Is this a standard zerk or a special item? Looks like a 45% angle......just a basic L front loader.
Thanks for any help in advance.

I was able to get down to the land and spend a few hours on the new pond dig. Looks like the wildlife are a bit impatient! I am perhaps 30% dug at this point. The next few sessions I will start to concentrate on the perimeter and dam. The photos really flatten things out but this pond should have some pretty good depth in the center. Hoping for 8 to 10 foot deep.
I have a local company that sells bentonite infused geosynthetic clay liners working up a proposal after determining suitability for my soil type and overall shape and size. I always have granular sodium bentonite to fall back on if the clay liner does not pan out. As you can see from the standing water after a 2 inch rain a week ago that there is some clay content.
Is it possible that doe is pregnant? I have other trail cam photos and video of her showing the same thing so I know its not the light playing tricks. I do not know enough about whitetail breeding habits etc to know if she could drop a fawn in late Sept or oct?

Great pics…recently I have seen articles / interviews and other propaganda suggesting men can get pregnant, so I struggle to say something is not possible anymore. But seriously to your question, it would be rare for a doe to not have dropped the fawn for this calendar year. But from the pic, she looks like she may be eating for two. Normally breeding season begins in end oct / beginning Nov pending your location. It varies north to south regionally. D&DH in past has been good source for information….here’s a link:

The Whitetail's Secret Weapon: Birth Timing
Late-born fawns are less likely to survive winter, so Mother Nature has armed the whitetail with precision timing for giving birth.

Thanks for your reply and link! I know I have seen what I think is late fawns this year on my cameras and in person. I will update if I see a new spotted little one roaming the place.Great pics…recently I have seen articles / interviews and other propaganda suggesting men can get pregnant, so I struggle to say something is not possible anymore.

It will be metric. On mine I think the socket size is 11mm and the zerk is considered a 10mm and a 10mm x 1mm thread should work. I’m not the best at zerk replacement but have found placing paper towel in the socket helps to keep it lined up when screwing in. If your threads are damaged bad most people I think retap with SAE threads.
Look at it THIS way….. For the cost of ONE MONTH’s Payment….your tractor can begin to look NEW again….without having to buy a whole new tractor with emissions controls.
I tried to DONATE a great recliner to Good Will. They don’t/won’t take large furniture items anymore.
I went to Salvation Army. Nope.
i went to the Public Library Second-Hand store. Nope.
I went to the small Black Baptist Church. The pastor asked me to come inside. I did. He showed me a room FULL of large recliners which had been donated and they couldn’t find new owners for them.
I put it in a hole I’d dug with a backhoe years ago, … set it on fire, and drank cold beer while the sun went zooming down the west and with my dog laying beneath my Kubota RTV.

Unrolled a couple hundred feet (aprox) of fencing. Wasn't sure how we were gonna do it, but then came up with a plan involving the BX.....
Nearly impossible to see, but we tied the fencing to a tree (off to the right) then put a pipe through the fencing and backed up the BX. ( I did shorten the orange strap just after this pic was taken). I am about 1/4 of the way into the job at this point.
The thinking was, I didn't know how springy this fencing would be (I'm not a farmer; so no experience with fencing) and if anything broke, I wanted it springing away from me. It all worked out fairly smoothly.
Man, I love this thing/tool/machine/toy! Makes all jobs easier (& fun!)
If my wife had asked me to do this job a couple years ago, she would've heard a big groan as I am sure it would be a bit of an undertaking by hand.
As it was, she heard me say something like "Tractor, sure ! Let's go!)
Not sure what the roll weighed when we started. It was almost impossible to move by hand. I recall when we bought it home ~15 yrs ago I used a come-a-long to get it into a trailer. I'd guess there was close to 240' of fencing time we were done unrolling.

Used the grapple to clean up a tree at my sister's and brother in law. Got home and used the phd to drill a hole for a new mailbox post. Got a pallet and made the PHD more portable when it's off the tractor. Got a couple leg bolts securing the stand to the 2x6.
Used the FDR2584 to mow the grass for the last time of the season and then called a day.

On another note had it's second regen at 108 hours. First was at 18. I'd say 80 hours were mostly tilling and mowing while the last 10 were loader work.
