Not only do you have a machine to make the work easier, you have an inspector with a camera to make sure it's done to specs!!:D

If you've had weather like we have, 97,99,97 for the last three days, working outside makes you "over" perspire. The folks on the news said to drink a pint of water every 15 minutes in this weather.
That's right!

It was only in the Hugh 70's to low to mid 80's here with about 80% humidity. Still took in plenty of fluids.

Well its been raining here in Pennsylvania seems like every other day. That keeps the dust down. But I always try and wipe the machine off and or use an air compressor when finished using for day. It has 72 hours on it as of yesterday.

Probably not a usual tractor task - BH drove her lawn tractor into our iron gate, creating a rather large "bow". A few blocks and a strap on the back hoe and it's almost good as new (and didn't even have to demount it).

Never thought I would use the Kubota for something like that!

I recently put in a 1 1/4 acre food plot. I took and rototilled the area up, waited a couple weeks, and then hit the area again with the rototiller after letting the sod die off. The area was really flat, so I cut 6" of dirt from the north side and flopped it to the south side to give it some positive drainage using the front end loader for the heavy work, then used the box blade to fine tune it up. I also cut out a couple new drainage ditches going north to help out the drainage. It took a couple full days, but came out good and will make a good food plot now.

Spent the last 2 days bush hogging and hand clearing brush, got about half the field done. Rest will require bigger brush cleared out first before I can finish with the rotary cutter. This field probably 2acres hasn't been cut in 6-8yrs. Going to make a great food plot though, no crop farming around me for miles other than home gardens so food plot should draw even more deer. L2501/hst did great. Very hot here I retreated to the shade of the treeline often.

Well it happened again, we had a gully-washer last night. At least this time the driveway was graded and ditched,
so all the damage stayed to one side. :mad:



At least this time I had a tractor, and I did not have to bother my old friend Denis to come bail me out with his.
Also managed to get all the dirt back up into the driveway before the county grader came by and stole it. :)




Last time this happened in 2014 (pre Kubota) it practically took out the whole driveway.
and help was needed from one of those OTHER orange tractors.



3.5 hours of seat time :D

Why not making a bigger gutter?

FWIW Bill, it gives new meaning to the term gulley washer, and I grew up in Nevada and know exactly what you were saying. Around here in the midwest there aren't many gulleys and that kind of rain is referred to as a "frog strangler" :eek:

I had one summer that we had that occur twice. I had 2B stone all over my yard and no tractor at the time! My Kubby (yes HE has a pet name), has been a God-send to me. If it wasn't for him I wouldn't get anything done around the place. AND, I just ordered the backhoe so we can do even more work.

And Bill, you live in one of the prettiest places I've seen! Wow, I LOVE those rocks! For that view I'd put up with a few gully-washers from time to time.

Finally replaced all 48 tines on my landpride rta2562 tiller. They were all very worn, at least half a dozen were broken and another dozen or so were bent which made the tiller terribly out of balance. It was a bit time consuming but will be worth it in the end. It sounds stupid but I can't wait to try it out tilling the garden this fall!

I had a wing tank to replace on my experimental RANS S-7S, which involved taking the wing off, so I took it out of the hangar and into the shop with it's 18' wide door, the and the forks attachment helped.

Started moving and arranging rocks to fill in the area next to my driveway so I can push snow a good distance from the driveway in the winter to keep the snow from becoming too big of a pile. Once I finish with the rocks, I'll cover the rocks with dirt and hopefully make it smooth enough to drive the tractor on.

I got "volunteered" to put in a Memorial Garden at our church. Area is 28'x25' and I used the B2320 to take out the sod earlier in the week, then dug out a 6'x6' T shaped section for a walkway and a bench. Backfilled the T shape with 53s and compacted with a plate compactor, added 1" of sand and compacted it with a hand tamper. Leveled the sand, laid the paving stones, then backfilled the rest of the area with river rock.
Can't believe that 3 years ago I would have done all of that with a shovel and a rake! If not for the Kubota I wouldn't be 1/4 of the way done yet.
The pavers are 18"x18" and weigh 50# each. A church member donated them for the Memorial Garden, BUT I had to take apart the whole patio to get them. So last week, 146 pavers loaded in the front bucket, 14 at a time, then offloaded onto pallets. My buddy at church has a BX2630(?) with the fork attachment and he offloaded them for me (all the BX could handle!) which saved a lot a time and effort. I may have to get a set of forks for mine!$$ We have over 100 pavers left, but I am sure we will find a place to use them.
Done with the Memorial Garden until September when we'll plant a couple of bushes and a dwarf ornamental tree of some kind. Next week I will disc the trails on my hunting property and plant an oat and clover mix, put the rotary mower on and knock down the weeds on the logging road into the property. By then it will be time for the 200 hour service.
