What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

[Siesta Sundance]

8" of snow over the past 48 hours but it's the worst kind of snow being wet and heavy. I made the mistake of blowing snow off the asphalt late yesterday afternoon and it left a thin layer of slush which froze overnight.

It's always a bit of a pain getting implements off and on again, but doing it in 8" of snow makes it that much more "enjoyable". Yesterday I removed the Del Morino flail mower and rock bucket, removed the hydraulic top link and replaced with a solid link, removed the right side lift arm link and replaced it with the hydaulic link, put the QH15 back on, got the snow blade on and hoses connected, and got the blower on and hoses connected. Then I ran the plow and blower on close to 400 yards of driveway. The gravel driveway is too soft for plowing to be honest and there was a tendency to move gravel with the snow.

Anyway, I'm set up for winter and looking forward to powdery, dry snow at some point. Here are a couple of photos from around 8:30am yesterday morning. The tractor photo was taken last night around 6pm.

Low pressure/Rain front for most of Texas, we only got a 15min rain shower at 530am, and every bit of 8 inches of pure sun through the clouds today.

That's not a snow shovel, it's a cow shit shovel.

You have a beautiful place but I’m still running around in a T-shirt waiting for enough leaves to fall to be worth getting up. You can keep that snow!

I was just outside with a snow shovel in a t-shirt and shorts clearing a spot around the garage in preparation for snow blowing later today. I plugged in the block heater too. It's cold at around 20F but lovely and sunny so really nice. T-shirt weather for sure if you're in sunlight.

I start out most days in the winter by sitting in the hot tub with a cup of coffee, and this was my view as the sun started to come up.

Yes, please keep the snow in your neck of the woods. I lived in Missoula for a couple of years, where are you that you're seeing snow this early?

About six miles west of Kalispell.

We have considered buying a summer retreat up that way. Previously we were considering Maine, but not sure how long my sister in law with MS is gonna make it long term living upp there with 6 months of winter.

Welcome sir! Nice Orange!

Replaced the seat and put in both the steering bushing and oil seal. This site and all it's contributers helped me in the buying and fixing both I joined. Thank you all.

Thank

Ron - - welcome to OTT! Nice machine.

Thank you....I wanted an 8200 since high school. Found her with low hours and always parked indoors. At some point I would like to add power steering, but she is just so much fun! Cut the grass and could just cry. She cut like my old legacy..... Light paint restoration in spring and some new front deck wheels down the road.

I bought a B8200 in 1985 brand new from Odell Tractor (now a Coleman store) in Independence, Mo. A real nice tractor. Bought it with only a belly mower and a couple years later was able to find a loader for it. I only sold it a few years back because I just had too many tractors and didn't hardly ever use it.

Put the chains and winter work lights on.

First use of the BTR. Sill fiddling with the loadout but so far I like the versatility and with the receiver I was able to haul my trailer and keep the tools and debris separate.

Must be a record breaking day for October 28th, 80* F here in southern Maine.
Opening day of deer season. The deer would spoil before dragging it out of the woods at this temperature.
So today I changed the oil & filter & fuel filter & greased her up.
Since putting a cab on the step loop seems a little tucked under the tractor when getting out. So took some aluminum angle and expanded steel and
made made a little extension so I'd have more to step on when existing.

After replacing the stove pipe on my wood burning boiler, I got two bucket loads of firewood in the shed and started the boiler up. Haven't had it going this fall yet. I think this is the latest I have started it.
