What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

Poly is fine for private wells. Any connection to public water supply must be copper (around here anyway).

Understood.
Thanks!

My L2501 turned 100hrs today. I have only had it 5 months. I have all of the filters and motor oil, still need the hydraulic fluid.
Spent most of the day burning 2 large brush piles for a food plot for the bees.
Here are a few pictures.
These are piles 4 and 5. Forgot about the first 3.

This is what things looked like before starting. View attachment 102055

First pile before burning today. View attachment 102056

First pile after burning today. View attachment 102057

Second pile before burning today. It's hard to see with all of the green, but it's gone now. View attachment 102058

And second pile after burning.

Only 2 broken hd. hoses so far. I would guess 75 of those 100hrs are using the B77 backhoe.
Time to get back to working bee hives the rest of the week.

Looking good Hoot Owl !

Glad your tools stayed on the truck.

Me too!

Got around to installing this brush guard today, just in case!

 

[PoTreeBoy]

Katy and I dug and hauled fill to level for a shop/shed slab. Hopefully, tomorrow I'll meet with the concrete contractor and get something going.

I used the L3901DT to pull some of the rock back up my hill after a hard rain and the culvert pipe got blocked with leaves. I don't know where all these leaves keep coming from. You would think all the trees would help stop them from falling on the ground

Put the FEL loader on.............and an hour later, smartly broke off the hood ornament, dagnabit.

A friend needs to use the 16ft dump trailer next week to pick up landscaping rock so I need to get the wood out and get the trailer ready. The empty trailer weighs close to 5,000lb and the wood must weigh a couple of thousand pounds at least, but last night the MX moved it with ease. I used low range and no problems at all. The MX is rated for a 9,000lb trailer according to the owner's manual but that's on the draw bar.

I got the Del Morino flail mower hooked up to the MX after I moved the trailer, and I'm kind of hoping to leave it in that configuration all summer ... for the most part at least. I did run the flail to make sure that all is good but will check the gear box oil, belt tension, grease fittings etc., before doing any serious work.

You can see the rain falling in the distance. I love this time of year in NW Montana.

I came up with a method for "unplugging" Manitoba Maple trees.
The one before this was 3" diameter and required some back and forth, this one came right out!

 

[trial and error]

Simce I am borrowong the dump trailer for the weekend to transport the tractor. I tried my best to get someof the 50 yr old callapsed shop/building out of the wood line on our property, I am quickly realizing that a grapple at minimum would be much better suited for this job and sadly I don't have one I'll spend a couple more hours tomorrow evening before a dump run Saturday morning. But I did Figure out that if I take the high sides off my brother's dump trailer I can dump.over the side (barely) yesterday I just drove up the ramps and into the trailer since it was hooked to the truck. I'm not going to get this project done any time soon but it can be chipped away at a little at a time when my schedule allows. AKA most of it will probably sit there for another 50 years

Edit: forgot the pictures earlier

 

[DaveFromMi]

I mowed some trails and yard extensions.

My only advice is what you already know. Yes, you need a grapple. I put off buying mine for too long. Shoulda bought it the same day I bought the tractor. They’re handier than TWO pockets on a shirt. Even a light duty model with a couple minor mods will TRIPLE the usefulness of your tractor.

It took me just 367 days to run up 1000 hours of FUN !

Auger maintenance day on the PD15. Grease the u-joints and driveline. Hard part was removing the driveline shroud. The manual was full of useless lawyer warnings; and the YouTube video was for a different types.
Sharpen a couple auger teeth who'd met a couple too many rocks.

Agreed, unfortunately with a kid coming in November it is not likely to be up high on the $ I can spend list for quite some time. Thankfully this "job" is also not very high on the list either and was more of a try and make use of the trailer while I have it anyway. What I will probably do in the more near future is fabricate or buy and adapt a set of light duty forks. That'll be far less $ therefore more obtainable and somehat more practical than just the bucket alone. Alas I'm just happy to be able to pick things up and put them down with hydraulics at the moment thats mote then I've ever had in my 38 years

I agree with this statement 300% It's my favorite attachment to use.

Transplanted a couple small fir trees using only the palette forks as diggers, yankers, holders, shovel.
Barely had to get off the machine.

Kinda cool. Had never tried this before. (anxious to try again!)

Gotta love forks!

I enjoyed a cold beer while I watched both my women do work.

You have too many trailers, I can gladly take one off your hands when you decide to declutter

Congratulations! Daycare is $$$ so I feel your pain and hesitation to purchase a new attachment. I think? Kubota will let you finance land pride attachments if it helps.
