What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

[William1]

I put down 10 yards of topsoil, filling in depressions (awwww) that evolved from tree stumps that rotted away long ago and general uneven areas. Took a week. I have a few yards left for those I missed.

We had a riser put in for our septic system. The lid was part way under a garden and also, after 26 years, the settling of the fill was making 'dents'. So the riser was done, the garden brick edging redone (It had been a straight line) to go around it. The lid covered with a inch of mulch-outta sight!

Cleaned up an Elm yesterday that died off last year. 28x34 on the stump. Firewood will keep my dad warm this winter.

Small tractor so small logs. Big heart in that little tractor.
Two dead trees at the bottom of the drive. Wife said they gotta go. A controlled drop verse nature making a mess.
Yes, I drag them with the 3pt . I know it is frowned upon. Lifted just enough so as not to snag in to the ground and bring me ass over tea kettle coming up the hill. Hand on the throttle and foot just resting on the clutch. Keen eye on the fronts to make sure they are not loosing traction and starting to come up.

lol, no frowning here!!!
Don't listen to that crap.

The 3pt on my machines drag heavy attachments that dig into the ground, and pull very heavy loads of rock or soil. Should I be attaching it to the tow bar?? lol

The frowners are gonna hate, the city tractor budlight drinkers are like that.

Managed to sneak this heavy SOB into the garage. The LX barely lifted it with the forks from the heavy side so I slid it out of the trailer and then turned it around and slid it into one of the garage bays for now until my power beyond pipe shows up next week. I used two 3 ton jacks to maneuver it once it was in the garage.

I also got a screaming deal on an open box OTC 1500lb tire dolly on eBay for $150 so I'm going to play it safe and use the dolly to remove the loaded tires so I don't end up with a situation where my kid comes around and tips the tire over.

Finished servicing mower and put it on tractor. Did a little mowing to ensure all in working order.

Blades were very sharp after a touch up.

Found a little driveway stone I blew into the grass.

Fixed the real sharp blade “problem”….

Lots of good stove/fireplace wood, but elm is nasty chit to split.

Waiting for the drum to fill with water then rolling the lawn.

Big drum!

Picked another bucket of rocks this morning before the rain came in.

Nice field! There are some amazing rock/stone picking machines out there. I have four big piles of rocks on this property that someone cleared (by hand I assume) many years ago, but more come to the surface over the winter. Some are boulders that stick out of the ground and will never be moved.

That is a nice roller. How much does it weigh when full of water, and what is that structure to the right that stands about 4ft tall? Never mind, your follow up photo makes it clear.

Driveway round 2. Thanks NCL4701 for the tip getting it smooth with the box blade was a breeze. Just need more weight on it. Got rock coming next week to top dress and play some more. Will compact that with a roller once done.

If my life depended on it, I could not find one rock like that on my nearly 12 acres.
Not even a golf ball size rock!
I'd kinda like to have a few rocks.

Broke down and installed the swivel seat... Kubota Parts wanted almost $900 for the BH77 fixed seat (pretty much the price of the subframe). The swivel seat must have been redesigned - while it sits higher, it doesn't lean forward like others have mentioned.

I've seen those used here. All we have is sandstone and not much bigger than what you had in your bucket.

It's 4' across and 3' tall. I'll let you gogglefu for weight a friend built it to use with his four wheeler so it's a good foot narrower than the tractor. I looked at a couple of pull types and if I go that route I'd have one made as the commercial versions seem flimsy. Del Morino make a three point version but big bucks to get one here although I haven't ruled it out.

Yes it is, even with a hyd splitter. Don't ask me how I know.

Uncrated the BH77 - @Fordtech86 you were right, what a PITA.

Removed the 3pt from the Tractor

Installed the longer joysticks - this was an even bigger PITA. 3 heim fittings for each joystick with very little room to get a wrench on them and tighten the supplied bolts.
