Buried field rocks up on the upper 45 acre's, dug around one for 45 minutes 6 ft deep and still couldn't move it. It's a bigg-in going to need a bigger machine.
What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

B7510 with loader and BH4672 backhoe, JD400 industrial Backhoe, B6100.
Changed all the fluids and filters and finally got around to fixing a leaking steering knuckle I’ve been putting off for a couple years.
$30 for a Kubota seal and an hour later it was all done. Could’ve done it in half that if I didn’t spend time washing everything. Easy repair - 8 bolts, one nut on the tie rod and one snap ring. Should’ve done it 2 years ago.
Looking like it’s getting time to drive some new pin bushings in. Might not put that off for quite as long.

Can you just dig a bigger hole on one side of it and knock it into itBuried field rocks up on the upper 45 acre's, dug around one for 45 minutes 6 ft deep and still couldn't move it. It's a bigg-in going to need a bigger machine.
Thanks for that, this rock is the size of small school bus and I'm not going to move it with the equipment I have. Next step is to drill and shear the top off with Hyd cement and bust it apart.

Today - my wife helped me load up the 50ft of asphalt walkway we tore up yesterday with the new Artillian forks into the bucket for transport to a new location - with the exception of a few large pieces - we pretty much had to load the bucket by hand. (disclaimer - at her request, she did most of the loading and I did most of the driving/operating)

Lifted my OSB sheeting up onto the roof and finished sheathing over the strapping. Next up, metal roofing material.
Hooked up the sprayer and did some pest control.
Found a few big wasp nests in the shudders and one in my kids play house. Few fire ant mounds too, got the house and about an acre around it sprayed. Off to get some more chemicals tomorrow to finish up.

Yesterday I loaded the diesel tank in the back of my truck and went to town to get 40 gallons of diesel. Having forks on the tractor sure makes this job a lot easier. I did it once using the bucket and it was a lot of work.

Nice setup buddy and forks are probably one of the best attachments anyone can own.Yesterday I loaded the diesel tank in the back of my truck and went to town to get 40 gallons of diesel.

Nice setup, but I'd have to get a lot bigger tractor. That must weigh twice what my B7100 does.
Bill, right now with 47.7 gallons, the tank and diesel weighs 517.8 pounds. I don't know what the wooden skid weighs. I have had 61.3 gallons (619.8 pounds) and didn't have any problems moving it with my L3901DT.
The weight is based on 7.5 pounds per gallon of diesel and tank weight of 160 pounds. I'm sure the pump, meter and filter add some.
You could always get a 50 gallon tank.

Yeah, maybe not twice the weight.
Bare tractor weighs 1080, plus FEL, plus backhoe, plus wheel weights, but the FEL is only rated at 500lbs, but less now that it's an antique, and even less with forks.
But maybe a smaller tank is in my future.

I don't know if you saw my post about how I power the pump? The post is Powering Fill-Rite pumpYeah, maybe not twice the weight.
