What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

[McMXi]

This is just about the easiest time I've had getting firewood ready for the house. I bought the Oregon 22 ton wood splitter shown below from a friend of a friend earlier in the year. It was hardly used and cost $1,200 which is a bargain for something of this quality. It has the horizontal/vertical option and the only upgrade that might be useful is a four-way splitting head which is no longer available according to the original owner.

I changed the hydraulic oil filter over the weekend, and since the original owner had changed the engine oil right before I bought it I just checked the level and it was good. I started splitting yesterday afternoon/evening and found it easy to roll logs off the trailer and onto the splitter, and then stack split wood onto pallets. All is good!

Sunday I finished mowing the 10 acres of pasture with our L2501 and the RCR1260. Thats not a job I want to do too often. This is the first time is has been done in years I bet and mowing around the 10 or so trees took a lot of time. I had in ear plugs this time. I can see how a cab would be really nice to have. Pasture looks great and the native grass can get the sun again since the Marsh Elder thats in some places has been cut back. I can see why people pay $5k for a cab/AC/heat. I think the L2501 was the best compromise for what we need to do. It does everything I’ve asked it to do. I wish the seat was sprung.

Nice. Even in cab tractors, I still wear ear plugs! Yeah I put 7.6 hours on my tractor yesterday, the seat sucks bad, it's on my to do list to replace it, not sure what options I have for the Mx5200. I did installed an air ride in my CTL and I love it!

Pictures of said work? Use the Sling Blade voice of character Karl Childers and say 'I like pictures', Uh huh'.

Do you use the cage pallets to stack wood in? I picked these up for $50 each off craigslist, could easily remove the container then stack wood inside the cage portion.

Picked up my hog trap out of the brush/woods, it needs some attention, when ever I find that 'extra' time to work on it.

I don't, but I've seen them used in that way and it looks like a good system. Not sure how you get the logs out of the cage though unless you have really long arms!

Is your dump hydraulic off of the tractor remotes or battery electric over hydraulic? The reason I'm asking; I have a dump too but it's battery electric over hydraulic and I have to stop and recharge after 2 maybe 3 dumps.

Electric hydraulic. I leave it plugged in when it’s parked and so far haven’t had any issues.

What type of "grass" was that?
Looks good. Everything I mow is KR bluestem and it always leaves stubble growth that makes it look like I didn't overlap. Shredder is set up correctly. Best I can guess is this is left when the blades blow it down so it doesn't get cut. I had to run over and re-cut that since the landowner is really picky.
Don't know if you can see it, since photo doesn't really show it.

Picked up a new LS WCG1154A Grapple today, and ordered the Summit 3rd Function kit for the LX. The LX is about to get a lot more useful for cleaning up my lot.

 

[S-G-R]

Used the LX3310 and HLA root rake grapple. Started with this

And ended with this

Easily my favorite attachment for the tractor. I left the crap on the other side of the property line back here but there is a bit of deadwood that I'll cut out. A large family corporation owns the land and I keep the line clean and mow the driveway so they don't seem to care what I do.

 

[rcsracing]

Didn't grab a photo of it in use yet - but I've got my first tractor just over a week ago. About 2.5 months from order to delivery, but the 3rd function kit isn't in yet. I've got some sections of my 5 acres that the zero turn isn't able to do. Those spots haven't been touched since i bought the place in July. Brush hug, backing up , took care of all of that.

I added 3" wheel spacers this week. Today's main use was lifting up the front of the zero turn to clean the deck after what I hope is the last cut of the year.

 

[Siesta Sundance]

Replaced HST filter. When it hits 800hrs, I will be back on the maintenance interval.

Finished the video for the food plots.

5 Fall food plots for Nachos.

I have a couple more areas that I would like to disc and add seed, hopefully I can get to those this week. Like & Subscribe! In the great search of Nacho, named appropriately, Nacho Buck.

Finished chipping the limbs I trimmed from the edges of my fields. I tweaked the hydraulics that set the tension for the infeed so I don't have to hold the lever. I also made a chainsaw holder and attached to the chipper.

 

[Tenalach Farms]

Repaired the gouges dug in the driveway when I dragged the pallets with my sawmill in them up the drive last week. Tractor arrived After the sawmill, or I wouldn't have had to drag the pallets. Then I lifted the sawmill head assembly with the tractor so I could move forward with assembling the mill. And then I took the tractor for a little test/familiarization drive in the woods and decided learning to drive this tippy thing is going to be quite an experience

What brand of spacers did you go with?

 

[Jsjac]

Yesterday I checked on tire chains.
Figured out that I would need wheel spacers to put chains on the rear os my tractor.
I already had some tire studs.
I put 743 studs in today. I am short about 350 to finish the job.
Very easy to install, just time consuming.
We the last three boxes of studs show up I will finish the job

Time to clean up the leaves.
