diff lock pedal from Lown Performance arrived today. I cross referenced the diff lock pedal from an LX01 series to that of the B2650. They are the very same Kubota P/N (for ROPS versions only). So, I placed an order with Lown Performance.

It fits, and should function just fine. I had a real need for one since I'm constantly using the loader to load stone into my truck. My stone pile is 300-400 yards from my truck in the driveway. I typically need to use 4 WD to get into the pile when the backhoe is not mounted, or, I simply lose traction. Slipping the tractor in and out of 4WD for each trip (up paved road) is a PITA.

This should take care of it.

Well its shaping up to be a very mild winter in Michigan so far, we’ve maybe had two inches of snow if that since November. And the temp is hovering in the 40s. Very unfortunate, was looking forward to working more with snow removal on my property. Hopefully we start to get some, but nothing is forecasted besides occasional rain. Even took the tractor out for the first time in a while last week and checked the fluids and ensured the diesel was not gelling or anything like that I’m case we get a Christmas storm like last year. I’ll need to give it a good wash in the spring with lots of soap, that’s for sure

Started building a new chicken coop this week. Used the LX with clamp-on forks to move and set the frame on some cross ties. Gotta love me some Hydrostatic transmission. That made handling the coop frame so easy and gentle.

Before anyone berates me for my clamp-on forks, they do what I need done most of the time, and cost a fraction of what something I'd normally leave outside to rust. Takes all of about 5 minutes to put them on, and best of all, they cost very little. IIRC, I got 'em for $149. Hard to argue with success.

Here's the framing for the new coop. I'm pretty sure it's gonna keep the chickens in and the vermin out when I get done with it.

I can go back and add a solid floor later if I choose to, but I figure the dirt floor will be almost as easy to clean and I won't have to worry about washing it. Gonna build the run with 2x3 welded mesh 48 inches high at the bottom (as well as chicken wire) to keep the 'yotes out during the day. Automatic door on the coop should keep other critters out at night. The siding on the coop is gonna be some retired 5/4 x 6 Pressure Treated decking that I stripped off my neighbor's deck and salvaged. The framing 4x4s are all lap spliced short pieces. The 2x10 band at the bottom is from my deck that I completely replaced back in 2008. The windows are repurposed bathroom windows from having siding, windows, and doors done in 2010. So far, my costs in this are electricity and a few hundred screws.

Gonna be a nice coop, how many hens do plan on having? And is the egg access gonna be accessible from outside of the coop?

My coop is on 5x10 trailer with a wire mesh floor, takes less than 10min to use the water hose and spray out the bottom and roost box for cleaning.

All the rain we’ve been having resulted in a small lake in my driveway/yard. So today I dug a little trench across the driveway to drain it. I think I aught to figure something out to prevent this from happening in the first place. Tractor made light work of it!

Electrical is a mess on my b7200, which was my fathers before he passed. Dash was completely dead. Most importantly, the flood lights, which I wired for him, but then he "rewired" after. Got everything working except the wiper and fuel gauge, but it's good enough for now.

That would make an awesome MIL suite…no joke that looks like it could be a cabin… love repurpose material uses/projects. Great job.

I am not sure you have predators that dig or not, but if not considered already, this would be a good time to consider to put some fence down under the coup floor to discourage unwanted guests from popping up.

I had Tuesday off, so went out to the farm and worked on mowing the waterway. Went into a hidden ditch a few times. Almost had to call for help to get out once, but between front loader, 4-wheel, and dif lock, I was finally able to get out. Got most of it mowed before I had to call it quits for the day.

That is one "beefy" looking structure!
Very likely could even withstand an elephant attack on your chickens.

A couple weeks back I spread 4 tri-axle loads of asphalt millings on my parking lot. Then rented a roller to pack it down. All that work pushed the clock just over 50 hrs so a full service was next to follow up the parking lot work. I changed all 3 filters and used the vacuum trick on the fill inlet to avoid loosing Hyd oil on the Hyd filter change. I only lost about a pint. Greased the tractor and checked the clutch adjustment. Once the 50 hour service was complete I got to the fun part. Installing the new SpeeCo Quick Hitch, which I discovered, could take out your tail lights if you're not careful.

Somethings out of whack. The QH shouldn't need to be tilted that far forward.

It looks like the ballast box needs "ears" added to the bottom, to move it away from the QH.

Looking closer, maybe if the top link used a hook it would be further rearward.
