What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

Are you in or near Lee's Summit?

Sorry for the late reply, located in Franklin County.

Added 3/4 ton of rip rap to the raised bed, trying to keep the pic-a-pans (ground squirrels) out.
They are a terror here, hope they are weight lifters ! Chicken wire or poultry netting just rusts away.

This 'Harbor Freight thing' was left on the property, Worked Great! (even after 14 years+ in the sun),
I had my doubts!

Had to hand place, once dumped to keep the 'holes' small

Last of the clay soil back in, filling with good garden soil next

I used the MX for about 15 minutes to flip over an outboard engine stand that I built today. It took longer to get the bucket off and pallet forks on than it did to flip the base for the stand.

I have an old blade similar to yours which I inherited from my father. I have used it occasionally for almost 50 years. Walked by it in the shed the other day and it struck me that the extra holes toward the top of the blade allow for shifting the whole moldboard to either side by removing the bolts and mounting it using the offset holes. Felt brilliant for about a quarter of a second and since have felt like an idiot for not recognizing that at least 40 years ago. Pretty sure everyone else with a similar blade already knew about that feature.

My old ford blade has that feature and I have used it a couple times on the ditch along the gravel driveway. But not in a long time, I found just running the tires in that ditch a couple times a year opens up and keeps it flowing

Used the land plane to give the driveway a touch up and then put the spreader on to broadcast pelletized lime.

I watched my neighbor lime his fields but for some reason he chose powdered. Same style spreader as yours. I think the lime went everywhere but on the field.

You mount your blades backwards to use it like a drag ??? Good idea. Have not seen that before.

I'd prefer powered but use pelletized for the reason above. A friend built a nice drop spreader that he uses behind his B2650 that applies a nice, even coating.

I use my blade offset during mud season when I don't want to run the tire to close to the soft edge but I want to dress the edge to let the water run off. Changing the blade over to offset looks easy but I find it to be a pain.

It's an option to have rear mouted blades. I find by going backwards you can polish the finish coat off better.

Powdered lime is less expensive than pelletized, however, you need a drop spreader to spread it. I buy my powdered lime at Tractor Supply because they sell a 50# bag for $3.99.

Less expensive, that explains it lol.

Whoa! Is that guy wearing a dust mask? I'm hardly one to talk though. I spent the day yesterday cutting, grinding and welding without a dust mask and can feel it this morning.

Is lime dust ok to breathe?

I cleaned my LX2610 up yesterday.
I had used it for two weeks putting two culverts in.
Digging creek gravel and covering the two culverts.

According to the label on our bags of chalk for ballfields, which is just powdered lime, it causes California in cancer. What doesn’t these days?

Our turf guy just put out pelletized lime on all of our fields.

EA had a MUCH better (easier to use) idea for blade offset, with their "6 Way Deluxe Scrape Blade".
All gone now,.....but I am thankful that I did buy one of theirs.
I have a new 7' King Kutter, with offset much like this one shown, and it needs another home.
