What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

They’ll get slowly better. Kimble was the beagle my wife brought from Brazil. He died a week short of his 16th birthday. Parker was next and to lose him at only 5 was a kick in the balls. Our house was designed with him in mind all much as much as me! Lol. Bosch is growing into a good vizsla but there are times when we tell him that it’s a good thing he’s cute!

The girls from down the road came over and decided they wanted to be in his crate!

Not really. He came up with a limp and an X-ray demonstrated a cracked vertebrae. They couldn’t determine a cause and literally as we prepared to do a biopsy, that X-ray showed it healing.

Then we moved.

A few months into the move, he developed a more severe limp and the dr diagnosed it as the equivalent of a torn ACL. We worked hard to get him into Auburn’s vet clinic. No one picked up anything on X-rays.

His lungs reached a tipping point and he couldn’t catch his breath. We took him to Auburn’s emergency animal ER and he was pretty well eaten up with cancer. They did a biopsy of one lung and the small hole refused to close and heal. They tried to wean him off of the pump removing the fluids but it didn’t work.

It got to the point where it was inhumane treatment so, we put him to sleep. Worst day of my life. Never cried so hard.

Enter Bosch a few weeks later. Unbeknownst to everyone, he suffered a scratch to his eye the day or the day before we picked him up. The next day, his eye was clouded over. Off to Auburn again.

He had cornea flap surgery and then we brought him home a few days later. Enter pneumonia….puppy can’t breathe. Here we go, back to Auburn again. My wife was scared that we’d lose him but, he pulled through.

We like to joke that at first, we didn’t think we could live without him and now, we’re not sure we can live with him! His eye survived but it’s not perfect. Other than that, he’s a great dog!

Look at those eyes, What not me!. I had a Vizsla for a little over 12.5 years. Wooded Redfield was his full name, but answered to Wooden. Touch a shotgun in my house he was ready to go, he just couldn't drive.

 

[BonnySlope]

Finished torquing bolts on my new 41" FH-EFGC Flail mower and then on to cutting and setting up PTO shaft after lifting mower from steel pallet base and leveling.
I was going to wait till tomorrow am, I couldn't. I left factory cut height for roller and skids all the way up. Went out and did a couple passes. One along the edge of field and into woods, I'd like to do an inch higher adjustment or maybe not it'll break down a lot of the windblown material in the woods. On the grass I cut it's to short, I cut my field with a zero turn set to 4" which controls unwanted growth, and it has a 54" cut not 41" like the flail mower. I threw a tape on mower. The housing is 41" plus belt housing
could of went slower to break up/down wood better.
In the short test it's a blast, It'll take a dusk mask while reclaiming tree line. There were a few things that were different then what's state on manufactures web site. 517 lbs. crated weight, posted 570lbs. BX purred in woods on the little stretch I did on 2 and 3 branch's on ground. Mask is needed.

 

[Siesta Sundance]

Unloaded 20 round bales.

Spent a couple of hours mowing the yard with the BX for the first time in over a month. It's been so dry here, all that was growing was the buck horn and crab grass. Also spent another hour and a half trimming a lot of branches on the bottoms of a bunch of trees that I mow around and were hitting the ROPS and my head. Filled the bucket five times with trimmings.

 

[ve9aa]

Trimmed some limbs (24' up )from a Maple tree near the house using a hairbrained , homebrew, buckshee Mickey-Mouse, Gerry-rigged system of a 20' pipe with a 20V recip saw on the far end, and the bucket on my BX.

Slanderous. I never touched it.

We thankfully received 2 inches of rain over the weekend. Still really dry, but thankful for every drop we got. My nephew and I went out to the farm on Monday, trimmed some trees, weed eated around the buildings, sprayed grass/weed killer around them. Ended up doing battle with two different wasp nest that had decided they needed to build them right inside the barn door. Also, it has been so dry, found a large wasp nest inside the gutter drain pipe and I don't thank those wasp appreciated the rain we received as much as I did.

Finished off the day with mowing the weed tops down. It is amazing, just a little rain and everything was quickly greening up.

This morning I recycled some carbon, picked up a hitch hiker and off loaded the plow.

 

[johnjk]

Bath day. Got the dust, mud and grass off both Orange and the Polaris. Sunny here but way humid. Little B has 930hrs and the big B has 236.

Also broke out the grease gun and lubed up all three machines

Went "Beast Mode" with the min this afternoon and decided to pluck a tree that toppled over on my road to the range. This maple blew over (completely) last year but was still going strong since the bottom half of the root ball was still sucking swamp water.

Stump busting (hornets weren't thrilled, but Karma's a bitch...you'll see).

Ok...this here is the idiot that didn't put the front blade down when he attempted to toss the root ball over the side of the tracks. Machine tipped hard and fast and operator smashed his noggin on the front glass. Turns out safety glasses are a bit sharp. Whodaththunk? Luckily this goof had the front glass down or he would've ended up outside of the mini. Maybe next time he should wear the seatbelt?

I'm getting a bit of a headache as I post this.

Doncha just hate it when your safety gear gives you the only injury for the day? All ya needed was that “one more” safety device. That ONE thing gave you a very subtle reminder.

 

[ScottHam]

I think I may ask Santa for some forks this Christmas....

Paint,

I certainly do. I do hope that it will serve as a reminder to wear a seatbelt.

Complacency Kills (or maims at the very least).

Your loader does not look like a quick attach.

Looks like a rug or blanket covering it.

Yup. I have a quick attach. And after that experience, and knowing I need to move the old fridge as well, I think Christmas may come early this year.....like tomorrow

 

[Outnumbered]

You will not regret buying a good set of forks. I use the forks almost as much as the bucket. Off loading, on loading, poor mans grapple, etc.! The older I ge the more I like tools that save my body. I remember an older guy back when I was an apprentice saying that you will learn to work smarter as you age boy.....That was just over 40 years ago
