What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

[Flintknapper]

Yesterday dig at Lehigh University. Had to use the hoe to get me up on the porch. After doing that, I simply asked them if they'd mind if I just disconnected their railing for the rest of the day hauling materials in/out of the worksite.

In at last..

dig - I was unaware that I'd be digging so close to the wall of glass. Had to dig off center. For those that don't know, doing so easily creates a much wider and gnarly trench. But, it still worked and I didn't break anything.

There was a large tree about 6 feet away from the cleanout (first pic under the track and mats) that was removed last week. Roots found their way all the way down (6 foot depth) to the cleanout. The root got into the cleanout joint, broke the seam and found a nice source of "water".

Hard to tell if the original joint was primed/glued correctly. Either way, they got thru the pvc connection.

Thanks for the explanation. Sometimes simple things lead to big problems, but that's what keeps you in work !!

Savor those days with your helper.
They are long gone for me.

Mowing pasture this morning. Forever mowing.

Some of you are still waiting for snow to melt and things to dry out.

I've been mowing since Mid February.

Your field looks beautiful!

 

[DustyRusty]

Got the ol girl ready for the season. Fresh oil, gear lube air filter, and grease.

Your mower deck needs to be cleaned, and polished. You should be ashamed of yourself posting a picture with dirty tires and mower deck.

Boring for those not in mud season.
Tightened down the blade trips for a March Nor' easter.
Less blade trip forces the mushroom shoes to tip up a little higher. Hopefully not dig in and rip up the mud and gravel.
Moving snow in mud season is as much art as brute force. Leave a lot and hope sun melts it or get a driveway of ice.
Either way I have a full humidor and a liter of Bulliet to ease the pain after the fact.

I did think about the tires before snapping pics, but it was beer time.

Put the battery charger on to give the LX3310 a trickle charge. It's spent most of the winter in the garage doing nothing.

Realized the 3x3 boom on the 5 Foot County Line back blade was collecting water.

Drilled an 1/8” weep hole in it to drain water out. Bet there was almost a gallon in it.

It’s chilly in the garage…..I had to pee almost immediately….

Did some wood chipping. Had hoped to catch the chips in the RTV 520, but it is too high up.

EA 6 Way Deluxe Scrape Blades do not do that.
.....but......they do cost more!

great idea, need to do this for my rake.

Good for you.

Your blade is probably bigger, better and obviously more expensive than mine….

You’ve got an an L48, right?

Remember someone here on OTT that responded like that a lot. He had not 1, but 2 M9000’s. Probably had the longest dillywacker west of the Mississippi.

You might be related. ….

Wouldn’t spend that for a BX anyway. Would be foolish.

Got it at local Tractor Supply. Loaded it up and drove home with it. Took 40 minutes.

Was the only 5’ blade I could find during COVID shutdown.

Thank you for your enlightening response.
Very helpful for OTT members.

 

[RCW]

Thank you for your enlightening comments!
Much appreciated!

You know what fried1765….how was your comment about your EA 6 Way Deluxe blade related to water in my $250 TSC blade????

I’ll answer the question for you…..

It wasn’t. Didn’t contribute anything.

From my perspective, it was a put-down. Sorry I don’t have a high-end blade for a 1,400 pound BX tractor…

You just needed to crow about your fancy attachment.

Sometimes this type of boasting is described as a “measuring” contest…I’m not inclined to detail further, nor participate further either.

We’ve had this type of exchange before, and I’m growing tired of it.

Next month, I’ll have 10 years on OTT.

I’ve never used the “Ignore” feature for anyone….even the fellow with not 1, but 2 M9000’s….

I simply try to not respond.

You’re brewing to be the first Ignore….

Not being derogatory. Just trying to give you my perspective.

Best wishes.

My 6 way blade did that, it not a cheap thing, it's a missed design detail.

I got to enjoy snow at both ends of the country this past week. I wasn't on the hook for removing any of the snow in Illinois though, but got back yesterday afternoon from a week long trip and the need to cleanup after another winter storm last Thursday and Friday. Once again I have to deal with folks driving over the snow and compacting it into ice, which makes removal near impossible until it warms up enough to be able to scrape the ice off the asphalt.

@RCW, it's not worth the effort. I always enjoy your posts and the fact that you use your equipment regularly. I don't give a toss about how little someone paid for a piece of equipment that they never use or how great that piece of equipment is. I have more regard for a member that paid a premium or overpaid for something and then uses the heck out of it. That's probably the thing I've come to realize more than anything else on this forum. I pay a lot more attention to members who actually use their equipment rather than those whose experience seems to be based more on what they've read rather than what they've done, or preferably, what they do. You are certainly in the last group and I appreciate your contribution here.

Well said and I share those sentiments.

Don't you just love that - I have the same situation. We live at the end and I take care of the whole thing. The last thing the folks below think about is how hard it will make the plowing if they go out needlessly when the snow is wet.
