Where can I get a cage dancer that also trims the shrubs???
There's a pretty raunchy joke in there, but I suppose this should be kid-friendly content, so I'll refrain...

I finally got the new driveway lights wired and tested today. A project I definitely wouldn't have done without the tractor. I was able to use the post hole digger to drill the 23 holes and the subsoiler to make a small trench to extend my 40v line in the woods (and accidentally snag an on ground conduit that I had to replace and put properly in a trench).

4 of the 23 lights are duds but Amazon already has new ones on the way. A photocell turns them on/off and they are spaced about 14'. Most importantly they passed the boss' approval.

Now I just need to bury the wires and bring some additional fill in.

Hahahahah. I get it!
I certainly hope those are steel-toed scandals she has on....

Her outfits should be Kevlar.

The outfits are fine....just make them Kevlar.:cool:

Just poking fun.....:cool:

I couldn't resist....Seriously, you're so lucky she will do that trimming....

Obviously a 2-person job, and no way around that!

My projects at home involve 3 people; me, myself, and I..

As an aside - - I'm really liking your pictures of the excavating work....some real tight quarters....have to be careful.

Just be mindful of those deep trenches and potential for collapses....

Here's mine....with saw holder and helper :p (dedicated cage dancer not included!). Added 2 pool noodles for cushioning the ribs.
My wife will get out and work with me as well unless I’m just mowing and even then sometimes she’ll run a weedeater. It’s really nice to be able to work on stuff together. If I posted a picture of her I’d be in fear for my life. You’re wife is obviously a good sport about the pics.

Once we were done with the sheriff's department and dealing with the break in, I got the tractor out and did some mowing.

I spent almost two hours cutting along the creek and field drainage ditches. Slow cutting, but need to be done. I was still mad about the trailer being stolen, so I forgot about taking any pictures of the work getting accomplished.

Oh well...always another day.

Finally got the box blade hooked up. I might widen the rear tires, it is still way tippier than my old 135. Notice the strategic cardboard box for picking up beer cans people throw into my ditch. I know this is a kubota forum but the 135 needs some attention also.

Yesterday was a very productive day with the tractor. First I moved about a yard of 'fill' to cover about 1/2 the exposed wiring on the driveway lights I just installed. It wasn't the best choice for material but the bank drop off is steep on that side of the driveway. I surely wasn't going to use topsoil. The bugs finally made me quit :(
I need a couple of triaxles of 3/4 process (stone with dust) anyway so I'll finish covering the wires with that.

I managed to grease the tractor without ruining any clothes - a first for me.

Finally with my grapple getting ever so close to delivery I installed a pair of hoses from the grapple connector back to the loader valve where I have a pair of couplers (jic I ever drop the loader). Now I have another pair to run back to my 3rd rear remote valve. A shout out to Bird Dogger! I used his bracket to help train the hoses:

I should also mention discounthydraulichoses.com. Ordered the 4 custom hoses on Thursday, here on Friday :)

I put the arms rests on.

I could post here everyday because I'm going to be working on nursery stuff until the ground freezes.

Nothing impressive today. Wife wanted the grass under the apple trees across the road trimmed up. She’s right, the apples are getting close to ripe so it’s time to make the area a little more pedestrian friendly. Of course the deer will get what they can reach. It all looked like the mess in the open area so the bush hog was an appropriate weapon. Left the stuff in the open area (my Dad’s old garden) because there’s a bunch of white clover Dad’s bees are still working and the dozen or so deer that stop by twice daily seem to like it. No clover under the trees.



Anyway, just took about 20 minutes to make the tractor small and turn it into an oversized lawnmower. Off with the grapple and loader, off with the box scrape, ROPs down, shift to 2WD, and hook up the old 5’ Howse. HST is really nice for shoving a rear deck up under a bunch of trees like that. Also very much liking the ability to float the new hydraulic top link as the hitch on the Howse allows for very little flex.

Got a load of trash and sticks together to bring to the township dump View attachment 64248
That’s a crazy looking thing on the Farmall in your profile pic. The trip bucket loader on our H is pretty strange by today’s standards, and I’ve seen some pretty creative attachments in the Farmall section of antique tractor shows. Don’t think I’ve ever seen whatever the thing is draped over your Farmall. What is that?

Oh man - impressive...! Looks really good. Reala nice work!
I just foud out that my B6100 right front wheel needs a new tube. I did put in a tube in the left front wheel a whila ago. But there is obvously a tiny leak in the right front as well.
