What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

[Siesta Sundance]

I have friends up there, based on the forecast, we will have a colder wind chill. This past summer we were hotter than Death Valley for over a week. One day it reached 127* heat index here.

Wind chill here is currently 17* the front will push through tomorrow.

Monday

I just hope we're able to share our summer heat of 110*+(Heat index in 120's) with the Northerns on here for a few days.

I have snowbirds from Washington renting a RV spot, he is in his mid to upper 50's in age. I was wrapping pipes and taken care of animals on Sunday, the guy had more layers than me and I said, shouldn't you be running around in a speedo or something? His response, I didn't realize it gets this cold down here, I just shrugged my shoulders...haha like it was no big deal, lol.

Not a whole lot of snow here but as others have said, very cold. Plowed a spot in the yard for the pugs and a trail for granddaughter to get to our house.

I did a bunch of driveways and being so cold and windy, found it worked best to shut off auto throttle and run at a constant 2,000 rpm- kept the temp in the mid range. Soooooo glad I’ve got a cab!

When your tummy is only 6" off the ground you need all the help you can get!

+110% on the cab.

That hydrant is too tall for pugs!

Didn’t do much with the LX other than shuttling the trailer in the yard to spread 2 yards of pine bark mulch that I bought for the flower beds close to the house. Then I got on the little orange one (Husqvarna) and picked up leaves (again) in the finished part of the yard. Cleaned a bunch of leaves out of the water feature and the surrounding beds and fed all that to the little 20 year old Murray chipper/shredder to convert leaves into free mulch (well actually about a buck for the fuel). Didn’t really pay much attention to the temperature. It was cold, but not so bad I couldn’t get the work done. Feeding a shredder with a pitch fork tends to keep me warm. The missus kept the pile raked up while I fed the shredder. Made about 1.5 yards of mulch and spread it in the beds we cleaned up.

It was a balmy -4 here this morning…so the block heater got plugged in…after about 1.5 hrs, had one bar on the dash when she fired right up. Did not see more than two bars in the 3 hrs I was out…and when just idling only one bar on the dash/thermostat.

Moved some wood onto the porch and relocated some of the wood slabs I had milled last year.

Picture of the dolly without the blower on it please.

Photo of the brackets off the blower.

It's not really a dolly, just two brackets. I had about 54" of scrap 1 1/2" by 1/4" thick angle iron. Cut in half and cut each of the four vertical square corners off at a 45. On each of the two 27" angle iron pieces I drilled two castor mounting holes and two snowblower mounting holes (mount each to the existing two skid shoe holes.) So, just two 27" long angle iron brackets with two castors on each...

This is really uncalled for. Glad there is no freezing rain or snow.
This ain't right for Utopia.
Heck it's 19.9 here in Pasadena, dang sure that ain't right.

First snow to clear with the B. We had our driveway paved last year so I used the poly Edge Tamers. They worked great! Leaves about an inch on the pavement to keep it from turning into a sheet of ice!

Poly Edge Tamers, did you buy these or make them yourself? Pictures?

There's at least 6" of new snow on the ground this morning and snow is still falling. The MX block heater is plugged in, and at some point I'll be blowing and pushing snow around.

Cleaned up after yesterday's snow.

I feel guilty. Here in Stuart FL for a couple of months. Set record high temp a couple days ago, 86. Back in CT we heard they had a boatload of freezing rain. Called my son & gave him a few tips about using the tractor on ice. He is doing driveway clearing duty and has little experience. I'm sure he will do fine.

Oh, and we had a tornado touch down here in Stuart. Not sure how close it was but sky definitely looked ugly.

Snow and more snow. I was out this morning blowing and pushing and will most likely go back out this afternoon if it keeps coming down the way it is. It's the kind of snow I like i.e. powder which is easy to move.

Cleaned up after yesterday's snow.

This makes me want a cab even more, last night when I was snowblowing, I couldn't see anything as the spray from the blower was getting picked up by the wind and I ended up munching two of my driveway markers (luckily I didn't cause any harm to the blower)...

After breaking the foot off the plow shoe shaft when hitting hard “lumps “ below the snow; a testament to my welding ability, I stopped in to Tractor Supply and bought a new one. Also readjusted the loader control after I noticed that I had very little movement of the joystick when pulling it back. The locknut that holds the valve plunger had backed off and the plunger had also backed up enough to move the joystick backwards. I rethreaded the plunger back until the joystick was back in place and the valve had full movement again. Then went to my moms house and cleaned the dry powder snow off the driveway with a fully operational plow and loader once again.
