If it's like 4ft tall, too much stems, cattle prefer it at 18" and below. I definitely wouldn't buy any bales of it because of that reason.
Too tall for sure.
What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

I finished hauling the last of the wood to the splitter yesterday afternoon/evening. I got it all split, stacked and covered. I saved the biggest log for last. I could have rotated the beam and split the log on the ground but decided to wrestle it off the trailer and onto the splitter.
The 16ft dump trailer is full of my neighbor's tree that I cut up this past summer, so in a pinch I could cut and split some more pieces but it's not seasoned. None of this wood was dead standing so I should have split this stuff a year ago or more. Oh well. Hopefully I'm done messing with wood for the rest of the year.

I have a couple of Stihl saws that I bought new in late 2011. One is an MS 211 (16" bar) and the other an MS 290 (20" bar). I use the bigger saw way more than the smaller one. When I have a good experience with a product I tend to become brand loyal. When it's time to replace either of these saws I'll probably buy another Stihl, but the way they're going I'll be using them for another 10 years!
I dug a stump for my neighbor I’m going go back and dig another one today

I a little problem with a tire last Saturday, so I replaced all four of them and used the tractor to move everything to the trailer. It is sitting on gravel and the floor jack doesn't roll very well on it.
Nice.

It’s time of year to clean the chimney flues that service the Lopi wood stoves at my house and Dad’s old house. Don’t have a personnel cage because I don’t have anyone to run it, but a pallet on the Kubota’s forks did serve as a freight elevator so I didn’t have to tote all the tools, rods, brushes, etc. up the ladder.
Get a sheet of 1/2" plywood and slide the jack on top of the plywood. It is like having a portable concrete pad to work on.
Pulled the corner post/railroad tie plus a bunch of steel fence posts on the old property line, now it's all my property so no need for it. Attachments Unlimted grabber (I think...) works great, and with the FEL curled for it's jaws are vertical you can pick up a dime off the sidewalk. Will, a big chunk of firewood for sure, you get the idea, it's a hand
y all around grabber.
The trailer was over 50' from the concert, the tractor is a lot easier.

Picked up the “married” QH and SSQA from the welder. Thought I’d try it out on the spike harrow and a big tulip tree leaves. Wow, sure is nice to not have to turn this ole’ neck and watch the 3PH. I move implements around a lot so thinking this will work great. Had a 2” tilt welded in. Just need to paint this winter.
Looks like a square basketball net. How about a picture from the front with the leaves in it?

I see you used the shipping crate the same way I did. I've got the same WC-68. Dunno how much stuff I could have chipped that I previously piled and shoved into the washes on my property. Now I gotta get it all back out and start working toward landscaping the washes to be natural drains, but something I can keep mowed/clean. That's gonna be a whole lot easier now I have the grapple.
I have an older lopi liberty stove. Best stove I ever had. Does a great job heating 1700 sq ft!
Hauled two trailer loads of mulched leaves (picked up by the little orange tractor). I pick them up with my Husqvarna rider, dump 'em in my trailer on a tarp, then unload 'em in the various and sundry holes/ditches/washes I have on the property. Been doing it for 18 years, and haven't filled 'em up yet.

Both ours are Liberty’s. I got mine about 25 years ago. Dad got a little jealous and picked up his the next year. Agree, best stove I’ve ever had. Burns clean enough I only need to clean the chimneys once a year and no catalytic converter to maintain.

We had at least 6", maybe more, of heavy, wet snow at the house this morning and it's been snowing all day. I used the snow blade and blower on the MX for the first time this winter clearing 400 yards of driveway. I adjusted the snow blade skids and am ok with how they are now. I was unloading and splitting wood a couple of days ago but now the trailer is full of snow.
