What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

It's a way better view in the summer!
Especially watching 5 Girls / Ladies doing cartwheels down that hill covered in grass!
They did that last year after just a few mimosas!

That's what the very cute woman working the till yesterday afternoon said! About it being a way better view in the summer!

When my wife and I decided to sell our motorcycles and get a sports car a couple years ago. The mini cooper was on the short list for me along with a miata. She found a nice red miata, 2006 with 37k on it on marketplace that is perfect and was great price. I just like the style of them coopers though, you have good taste!

Thank you. I also own a "real" Mini too. 10' 1/2" long and iirc, 56" wide....it looks downright miniSCULE next to it's 2 younger brothers. And the more recent MINIs are fairly small cars.

It wasnt today, but this week I cleared my 500+ driveway and my neighbors driveway/parking area. Even with the old backblade being so light and the snow sticking to it, the l2501 had no issues pulling and pushing the snow for almost a 2 hours. I did have to have it in 4 wheel as it was a sheet of ice under all the snow. I've been very happy with the machine since I got it in July. If I wasnt so cheap and bought a proper backblade that is sized to my machine, or atleast a little newer than this relic im using, it may have gone faster. But I enjoy the seat time, just gotta make sure I got some good gloves on, that steering wheel sure gets cold! Plus its always cool (at least to me) to use implements/equipment thats much older than myself. Ive thought about buying a plow blade, but I dont think we get enough snow where I am to make it worth it to have a one use implement. Perhaps when I move more north and upsize to a bigger tractor or CTL I'll get a snowblower.

Cleaned up some more after yesterday's storm and the ensuing drifts. Gotta say that I am really starting to like the steering brakes.

on your machine are the brakes above the treadle on the right side or on the left side? I havent messed with steering brakes yet.

They are on the left so they are real easy to use.

I’m a bit late speaking of this, but as in much of the northern part of the nation, we’ve had a bit of winter.

We rarely get wind in our area, but with wind, snow, and sub zero (-38 F one morning actual) temperatures, our Polaris Ranger with the snow plow reached it’s limits on moving snow. About a week ago, our little Kubota 60 came to the rescue….it didn’t “high-center” like the Ranger was continuously doing! memtb

Yes, both cars are MINI COOPERS

Those two cute little buggers are sitting there, waiting for the road salt to just eat them up.

Deck is done. Little bit of orange paint and she is ready to go back on the B1700. Will grab it on Monday and do a full service on the deck before installing.

 

[johnjk]

Hopped on the B3200 and moved some dirt around where they trenched electrical to the barn. Compacted it a bit with the loaded wheels and left a few high points to settle more. If it keeps getting warmer I may get some grass seed down in early March

Happens about every 10 years we get a good snow, 2011 was our last significant snow. I made a set of chains last summer, yesterday with 1 foot I did not need them, today with an additional foot I knew real fast that it was not going to work without them, well worth the hours I put in changing them from truck chains to tractor chains, no issues, 12hrs plowing yesterday and 6hrs today of mine and the neighbors driveways, about 20 gallons of diesel, I am beat and done, now wait for the sun to melt it, what a blessing with the drought going on here in So. Cal.

You're in Michigan so are you thinking about Canada?

I've had a similar experience with the M6060. It'll go through 3ft of snow like a tank without even using the snow blade or bucket. The LMTV would most likely do the same, but I know that my truck, Jeep and MX would get stuck long before the M6060. Those three vehicles would end up pushing too much snow in front although I can use the snow blade or bucket with the MX.

But if I want to pull a trailer through the woods in deep snow without clearing a trail first, the M6060 would be my first choice. I've yet to try the M1078 (LMTV) and will probably have to wait until I can get a block heater and/or glow plugs installed.

I used my LX2601 and my new LX2963 snowblower for the 7th time snow blowing this winter. I can say this is frustrating. The snowblower has to scoop and push snow to about a depth of 6" before the augers 2.5" off the pavement start to feed the fan. Had 4" of fresh light to medium snow and by the time the blower is throwing snow even with half cuts a steady stream of snow is over flowing the side of the blower in the spots I have just done. Traveling slow to prevent this us no use the fan beats it to slush n freezes in the chute. Go faster and more spills out the sides . There is always a pile in the center of the augers that will only feed into the fan by pushing the pile of snow the augers will not feed the fan themselves. Wish I had my 30 year old blower on my B8200 back it moved snow and didn't spill out the sides better n faster than the new one. If anyone has a suggestion or will the medium duty model be any better? I'm so disappointed right now I'm beside myself everytime I use the new blower I'm more unhappy with it! I live south west of Green Bay Wisconsin. All comments or suggestions appreciated , my dealer says everyone else is happy with them but I don't know how ?

I dont know if I would be allowed to stay In Canada , not that I have any desire to anyway. I thought about Alaska, but that is way to far from family. Ive been looking into Montana or possibly northern Wyoming by mountains. I just really like cold temps and boatloads of snow. I’ve thought about the UP but the price for electric is bonkers and it’s so heavily wooded id have to spend a lot of time and money clearing it. not to mention the infrastructure is lacking up there. Id really like to be by some mountains if possible.

Oh nice! id imagine they are super useful then

Wow....those pics really tell the story. Can't imagine having to deal with that.

We can get 'snowed in' in my State too (Texas) but it takes a lot less.

2 things I would check are to see if the augers are installed correctly (they should be opposite of each other to have the snow being pulled inwards from both sides) and also check to make sure the shear bolts on the augers and fan are not broken. This is my second winter with the LX2610 and the LX2963 blower and it has not disappointed me at all.

NW Montana is a beautiful area. Montana is only ranked 10th in the nation for the highest mountain at a measly 12,799ft, but I bet the mountain density is among the highest in the nation.

I've spent a fair amount of time in Sheridan, WY at the foothills of the Big Horn Mountains. It can be very windy in Northern Wyoming but it sure is beautiful. There seems to be a lot less available land in Wyoming compared to Montana though and way fewer trees. I was in Sheridan in April of last year staying a at farm that had Alpacas and an MX5400. I just noticed that one of my dogs managed to get in the photo of the MX.

 

[mcmxi]

And I was back in Sheridan again late April and early May of last year staying in a cabin owned by the owner of the Kubota dealership in Sheridan, WY. He's a really great guy and has an awesome cabin on 10 acres with incredible views of the Big Horn Mountains. It was during this trip that I picked up the M6060. The last photo was taken on David's property the morning I was staring the 600 mile trip back to Montana.

Just trying to give you @Trustable and others a sense of Northern Wyoming. I'm haunted by these kinds of places.

So is that area considered 'High Plains"?
