What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

Suum cuique

Very appropriate answer to him!

Got new wheels and tires this past weekend!

Added a useful carry all basket.

OKAY!!! I'm definitely going to need some more info and details on your cherry picker. That is way cool! So many uses popped into my head on ways to utilize that. Lol.

Yep, IBC tote frame. Check out FB marketplace. I got mine for $40. I would say get the 275 gal frame. Just know that the "floor" of the totes are sloped so, you may have to add some "flooring" to level it off and to cover the sheet metal so it isn't so slippery.

Mine is the 330 gal. Since the basket is so tall, I added a modified pallet to the floor. Alternatively, you could always cut off the top rail to reduce the height.

One additional caution. Be careful in clamping the basket to the loader/fork frame. make sure to camp it to the fork frame only so that when you are curling/dumping the forks, you aren't putting more pressure on the clamp/strap.

added a saw holder to mine as well.

Don’ t understand the fascination with smoking a turd.

Lol. They're so good!

Used the PTB to take a couple scoops of gravel/dirt from the uphill side of the county culvert. Keeps dirt/gravel from being washed into my watercourse during monsoon rains. (coming soon)

I attached a double 12v fan above my head on the ROPS. Keeps my head and neck cool. Also installed a hand crank siren on my canopy just because its fun.

 

[Magicman]

Nothing today.

I got into some Mock Oranges so I guess one of them got into a tire. This tire is old so it will get replaced. $122 + +. The tire shop said that it will be ready tomorrow.

 

[GeoHorn]

Have not tried any of those yet. I do like the larger gauges for tractor time. a bit of cigar smoke mixed in with the diesel exhaust keeps the bugs away

Very appropriate answer to him!

Yes, but I’m willing to bet you had to “Google” it.

I am not familiar with “Mock Orange” so I Googled and found none of the species mentioned thorns....
Magicman, can you elaborate what a “Mock Orange” is and/or show us a pic of what caused the tire damage?

 

[Magicman]

I am not at my property and can not get a photo, but Google found them. Add "thorn" after mock orange.

They have horrible thorns.

HARDY Orange.... OK... Thanks!
“The Hardy Orange (Poncirus trifoliata), also known as Bitter Orange and Trifoliate Orange, is a deciduous shrub often used in hedges. Sharp, 2-inch-long thorns protrude in great numbers from the twisting, dark-green stems, making hardy orange hedges almost impassible....”

 

[Magicman]

Well OK George, and I knew that. Mock Orange is the most used name here for this awful pest.

Apparently different animals eat the fruit just as they do Persimmon and pass the fertilized seed through which causes it's spread. Thankfully they are shallow rooted and the FEL will scoop them up, but the front tractor tires are sometimes exposed.

Built a carry all basket and mounted it. Found this in the fabrication section of the OTT forum.

Relocated my L3901 tractor today from home garden duty to woodland food plotting, getting ready for a few weekends of work with food plotting, I round up a couple of friends and try to have a tractor set up for each key operation, spreading, rototilling, cultipacking etc. Also trailered three 20' culvert pipes, going to be digging them in over the next couple of weeks as things finally dry out for the summer, hopefully water will flow better next year.

I often see "Food plot" mentioned here. Originally, I thought it was somewhere people grew food to eat. Now, I'm not so sure. Could someone explain please?

Generally it is a small area with planted feed for wildlife.

Here, it is mostly for deer. They love clover etc.

Changed out the original fan belt on the B1700. 3 bolts, one on the exhaust pipe and 2 on the dynamo. Total time 15 minutes.

You must not have the crankshaft driven FEL pump. Lucky!
