What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

[Bmyers]

Spent Saturday building a wheelchair ramp for the wife. We had to bring it down 44 inches, so the ramp had three platforms and three ramps so we could get a grade of 1 to 1.5 inches on it. We had wonderful friends and family come over and help us build a nice ramp so when the wife has her surgery at the end of November and will be in a wheelchair for about three months, I will be able to get her in and out of the house.

The other option was just to move her into the garage or the barn which she wasn't to hip on either one of those ideas.

It's that time of the year

Used the L3901DT to move out trailer around with the pallet fork frame and ball mount. A lot easier than trying to maneuver with the truck.

That is if you don't take in a count for having to take the bucket off, put the pallet forks on and taking the forks off the frame. Then you have to do all that in reverse. This would be easier if I would add automated SSQA pin release to the FEL.

Hydraulic quick couplers are awesome especially if you go between the forks and bucket a lot like I do.

It's been my favorite upgrade that I did to the MX series tractor.

I guess the hydraulic quick coupler on my Skidloader spoiled me.

After a brutally hot and dry summer that took its toll on the grass and trees it's finally cooling off and raining again.

So, I broke out the spreader and fertilizer to try and help the grass along.

Well fall is here and this morning was our first freeze warning…we’ve had a few small fires from armloads, but today the B brought some wood up to the porch for first time this year and then we turned some compost. There is forecast for some light snow next week.

supposedly the forecast for the winter for states around Great Lakes area is we are going to have a very mild winter. I’m hoping not as I love the cold and snow, but I know that isn’t a popular opinion lol. Florida I guess is supposed to get much more precipitation than normal. I believe this is because of El Niño.

I had a 76ft twin Ponderosa pine die off this spring, just a drought casualty, no evidence of bark beetle infestation.
Finally got around to dropping it and disposing of it at the local Forest Circus burn pit.
Stump measured 28" at the cut. Took 5 heaped trailer loads to dispose of it.
Upper 6 logs were cut to 9ft, next 4 were cut to 4ft, every thing after that was cut to two or three feet.
Most of the small stuff was hand loaded or raked into piles and loaded with the FEL bucket.
Learned a couple things:
1) There is a lot of wood in a 76ft twin pine.
2) I'm getting too old for this crap.
1st pic shows tree standing, 2nd after dropping, the next few show various stages of cutting/loading, last shows cleaned up drop area looking back toward stump.
Should have been some action shots, but this was a solo project.

After the tree project, I was going to shut off & drain the water to the cabin, go home , & rest, only to discover a foot of standing water over the stop & waste valve.
Crap.
Called the local licensed plumber and he said he could get there the next day after noon, but his excavation guy could no get there till 3 days after that. (plumber doesn't dig)
Crap.
But the plumber said if I would dig it, he would come out and do the plumbing work.
I was exhausted from the tree job, but I shut the main off & started digging.
After I had the pipe exposed, the standing water went away overnight.
Plumber installed a new type stop & waste and a new yard hydrant, and I (almost) finished filling the hole with clean fill, instead of the rocky, root-filled junk that came out.
I was too tired to finish, but it will only take another bucket or two of fill & some raking to complete.
(next trip)
1st pic starting dig with standing water, next two more digging progress, next awaiting plumber & a refuel, last almost done

Wow, no need for gym membership.

This, six times.

No more actual grass cutting, but I’ll be picking up leaves for the next 6 months. The little fella does a good job and is a lot easier to maneuver than the LX. Since mine is the SU, no middle PTO, so can’t run a mowing deck and catcher at the same time. I’m thinking a tow behind yard vac is in order rather than a 3pt mowing deck. I might get a mower when the little Husky lays down, though. It has been a good little machine and used to do all the work I do with the LX now. It just wasn’t very good at pulling stumps.

Winter in Florida is in my "forecast", beginning in just a few days.

I'm sorry to hear that....

First snow of the winter here today so getting the MX6000 set up with the LP front hydraulic snow blade and rear LP snow blower. Appears that our short Fall is over. I've had a nice fire going all day, much to the delight of my Heeler. She was raised by cats I think.

Last Friday I used the 2501 to pull a hay ride at our church. 6 trips with a 20' trailer. Loaded it, forks and rake up after reinstalling the BH. Saturday morning my youngest son and I drove 130 miles and unloaded every thing at our District Royal Rangers camp. (Stump and trees need cleared) Then we drove 50 more miles and loaded up my oldest sons burnt out dodge van and brought it home. His van caught fire driving to a Renaissance fair. No insurance coverage so now we have to sort through the mess and find out how many tools we lost. It was a work day and he borrowed a lot of tools.

Started tearing up my front yard to grade it away from the house. I used my sod cutter to peel off the grass and used it to slice off the dirt 2” at a time.
