What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

I like those pins you have on your stabilizers. Beats the heck outta the ones that came with the tractor. Got a part number and vendor info?

They are just M10 spring loaded quick release pins. The ones I got are stainless steel with the knob on top, but any 10mm diameter pin will do. I got them from McMaster-Carr.

Following! They're my most hated pin/clip combo on the whole machine.

Did you really pay the list price of $28.78 Each for those pins? And I thought pushing $20 each was expensive!
Amazon's got a nicer price, and in $CAD too. Tempted to order a pair.
$15.99 Each, with quick release and hanging strap.

Hmmm, but what is the working length needed for these 2 pins? .39" doesn't seem like enough. Back to searching.

Put the tool pouch in the cab. Been lucky so far and haven’t needed any of them.

Well I pushed some snow with loader then unhooked and put front mounted snowblower on and blew snow for 4.5 hrs to sugarbush and our drive and neighbors drive. Now gonna swap back and go move some fire wood

 

[Jroccasano]

Figured out how to move a bale with my 2650

That will be a very nice assortment if/when you do need it.

I picked up a grade 70 chain from Harbor Freight on sale. Interesting enough, it was only $2 less than Home Depot. I got a carrier to put on the ROPS and floor mats bought from Hawk67 mentioned in the Fabrication forum.

Can’t weight to install them on my L2501. The snow is interfering with using it. Not enough snow to plow just enough to make the fields slick.

I think these are pto pins, can be found in farm type stores

I went to Tractor Supply for curbside pickup of a longer top link. With Pat's system on the stock one was really too short.
Today got out once already to do some plowing. The latest forecast was for 4", we have 8 already and still coming down.

 

[nbryan]

I'll let the before and after photos speak for themselves. Except they aren't saying it was -25C and the wind was howling.

I fabricated a diff lock pedal extension for the M5660.

Want to make one for my BX? I’m planning on doing that when the weather warms up. The foot lever on the BX is crap. If I’m wearing 8” work boots tied up, I can barely use it.

Spent another hour+ plowing on the driveway.

Yesterday it warmed up as I was plowing (just above 32F) and the snow got wet and heavy. Eventually I couldn't even make it up the driveway - not plowing just driving. So this morning I removed the skid shoes on the rear blade. It's 13F and what was packed down is pretty solid frozen stuff.
The blade did a good job at least getting down to the gravel in some parts. I can't be more pleased that I decided to go with an offset rear blade. Without it plowing would be a major project on my driveway.
