What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

[dirtydeed]

What is the green line?

Hahaha. That is the main stack (cast iron). This home was just recently purchased and the original owner had painted all of the plumbing lines in different colors. I should've taken a picture of the pipes in the basement. he painted the hot water lines in red, blue for cold, waste in green. It was quite a colorful basement.

The top most line in pic number three turned out to be an electrical conduit run in galvanized pipe containing 2 live lines...we found that out after cutting thru half of it (we assumed that it was the water line going to the garage spigot). Nope! nice sparks while using a band saw.

Today was leaf day. Three houses with gutters to clean, three yards, trails, whatever you call the clearing in front of the shed, etc. Leaves everywhere. Some places a little grass still visible; some places 10” deep.

MORE LEAVES! (I don’t much like this particular chore.)

Joint project for the L and T. Got up about 90% of the leaves with the rake and grapple. Piled them up in several large piles. View attachment 117769 View attachment 117770
Once it was down to a thin enough layer for the T to mulch/blow it, finished with the T. View attachment 117771
Stihl blower played a small, but crucial, role as well. It has been camera shy since I ran over it with the Tundra last year. Works great, but kind of looks like it was run over by a small truck.

Edit: Just noticed the pic with the rake is one of, I think, 4 times I straightened the tines because they were too gap toothed to work right. When the tines spring back the circle at the 90 opens so I was thinking of threading some sort of pipe through the hole to further limit their rotational range of motion.

Who makes that pine straw rake?

Another day clearing up the old fence lines on the property. Loaded all up and to the scrap yard for about $115 return but at least I did not have to pay to dump it. Approximately 1600lbs of old t-posts, woven wire, barbed wire and a rotted out old hay ring. The electromagnet on the boom of the loader at the scrap yard takes about 2 minuted to off load everything. All in all a good days work with enough cash to pay for fuel.

Man, you never have a dull moment!! I thought maybe it was the downspout being dumped in there.

Did this Monday, just now getting to post. Used the grapple to move 3 60" Oak logs. I normally cut them 80", but I had to back up the hill a ways to get them out. Don't think I would have made it at 80". Had the ROPS up and the seat-belt on for these three.

Bigger Kubota needed for 80" logs !

What is the green line?

4" "green line" looks to be original cast iron sewer line.

Put the chains on the M and hooked on the box blade in anticipation of the predicted snowstorm tomorrow evening. I will put the plow on tomorrow after the final weather report in case it’s not needed.

Started pulling out firewood again after the long wet thaw between Christmas and New Year has finally started to freeze up again.

Got the plow on and greased in case we actually get snow tomorrow. Love this tractor but really wish it fit in garage. Future project.

I hope nobodys hand was in that glove when it got caught

One of this years projects was to refurbish my old plow. The skin was rotted out so I found a place in PA that custom makes them. I then sandblasted, reskinned and repainted everything. Today I bolted on the cutting edge and mounted it to the tractor since starting the project. We are expecting up to a foot over the weekend.

I got the loader off put it away and then installed the K connect driveshaft and snowblower. OK, I am lying, I had help putting the K connect onto the tractor and installing the driveshaft. I did put the snowblower on myself and hooked everything up even though I was feeling lousy. I still have to put the weight box on the 3-point hitch tomorrow, but that shouldn't take much effort. I used to love snow blowing and plowing, but now in my later years, I am beginning to detest it. Still, have to move some tings around in the garage to get the wife's car in there. She doesn't like cleaning snow off of her car, but I have no idea why.

The L47 is nice, but.....
An M62 is "nicer" ....I do wish I had one!

Love the old pump by the garage door. Would love to have something like that to put out by my shed. Where'd you find it, and how much (ballpark)?

Or flatter ground.

Not this time. Just a way to show how big the logs are.

They are available on E-Bay......$2,500 and UP!

Or a chinesium repro for half that. Probably the same lead content as the originals

Umm, maybe a bit more than I want to spend on a decoration. If it were functional, maybe, but not just an ornament for that price. Thanks just the same.

Ornamental ones are $1,300
