What did you do to or on your Kubota today?
- Thread starter gurn
- Start date
Suggest that you wire-tie the electrical wires and hoses together as they leave the snowblower and go back to the hydraulic connections. This will lessen the chance that ice will form on the wires and dislodge them while you are snow blowing. There is a holder for the hoses that are supposed to be mounted on the front of the side frame rail. It looks like yours is missing.

Today was Leaf Day: Part 1 of 2. Got the two houses to the north side of the property done and some of the graveled trails/roads. Should be able to get my yard, the shed area, and the rest of the graveled areas cleared tomorrow with time to spare.
Installed my new grill guard from brokenanvilmetalworks.com
This grill was built like a tank, love it!

Matt, my first thought was "wow, those logs split really clean!". Then I realized or assumed that you were cutting them through the long axis before splitting. Is that easier than rolling them to the splitter? Just wondering about the method to the madness. Nice looking wood for sure though.
What the heck! How come I have snow on the ground and all around and you don't?
I have to check the burn schedule and see if I can get a fire going today. I have a big burn pile from the collapsed barn and would like to get rid of all of the bark from splitting a couple of weeks ago too. It's currently 15F so certainly cold enough to burn.
Lol, the grass is still growing and could be mowed. Highly unusual for this time of year but it has been getting cooler.
OK...got it squared away. I was moving brush with the bucket and, a log came up from the bottom ,broke the upper cylinder fitting flush to the nipple. Easy out would not move it just kept making chips. So...I took a hacksaw blade, ground it thin enough to fit inside the fitting. Cut two slots about 30 degrees apart then chipped that piece out collapsed the major part....out it came. Slow tedious job but,
it worked. Found another fitting at NAPA....back in the battle zone again. Now I can get some restful sleep. More work to do Monday, have to move the logs, split and, stack....cold day will arrive soon.

Given enough time, I am relatively certain that she will forgive you. If not, keep drying your tarps on the clothesline.

Not quite right!
She MAY forgive him, but she will never forget!
He will hear about: "the time you dried your damn tarps on my clothes line"......FOREVER!
I didn’t feel like man handling them, that's a 395 with 28" bar for scale, so they were noodled once. Should have went to quarters, the halves were still heavy. And the noodles make very good tender.

I was doing firewood again today and I can't believe I got both of these picked up at one time. Good thing I have a lot of ballast on the 3pt. I have been very happy with the Homestead grapple. I wish I would have gotten a grapple a long time ago.
I see that you did it, I admire that you did it, but I wonder ... why you did it ?
Cut down some small trash trees alongside the trail along the creek and chipped them up with the WM WC46. Got all but about 100 yards to do for tomorrow. Took 2 1/4 hours before I pooped out.
Plugged up the discharge chute once.

I'm not sure I understand your question. I needed to move the logs from where they were to where I was blocking the logs up and spitting them.
I was up early this morning and figured I'd get a start on snow removal before it got any warmer. A wet snow for sure, and only an inch or two, but 30 minutes later I had 9,000 sq.ft. of asphalt and 200 yards of gravel driveway cleared.
I've said a number of times that if I had to give up a tractor it'd be the MX rather than the M, and that's still true, but I'd sure miss the MX. It's such a good tractor for removing snow. The cab, the hydraulic blade, the blower with hydraulic chute rotation and deflection, HST, its "compact" size and excellent maneuverability all add up to one really good system. I need to be able to move snow for around 4 months each year so I sure hope I can hang onto both tractors!
The chute didn't plug at all ... but it hasn't ever since I removed the grill/grate from the chute.

that looks like an awesome snow setup for sure !
We also do snow removal for 4-5 months/year (NB, Canada on a high ridgetop) but my toy is much, MUCH smaller.
Certainly could use something like that - very nice !
