How is that Milwaukee Fastback Utility knife attached? I always have a knife of some sort with me, but I will add one that will stay permanently with the tractor. The replaceable blade knife is a good idea.

On every tractor (except the ones used just for mowing yards) have a box knife on them. They, by their design, have a storage area for additional blades. I always buy the box knifes that are colored either orange or yellow and are self retracting.

If I'm cutting twine or wrap off of big bales, it's just safer to have the sharp blade out of the way when not actually cutting. Also, the color makes it much easier to find if it is dropped.

Drama Queen? Come on now....

That is what a person that is the exact opposite of a drama queen hears reading some of the replies from the armchair lawyers with the minors in engineering.

Do users here need to rethink sharing ideas and designs for fear of someone else here using/copying said idea and running afoul and deciding to sue? It is something I never would have given a second thought to in the past, I have always shared the ideas and designs. I am not used to this hyper litigious environment today.
You are more than welcome to post up your ideas and designs.

Now as to if everyone is going to like them or not, well that is beyond my control. ;)

And FYI: The rim spacers are not an untested design, Kubota even sells them for tractors, so your safe there!

I didn't say a word about like. I was talking about a member sharing an idea/design and then someone from here using the idea/design and running afoul, then suing the member. Based on how some here talk, we would now need to worry about that.

But you make a great illustrative point about the spacers - "...Kubota even sells them for tractors so your safe there!". AM I?

I can assure you they had nothing to do with this set of spacers. Not only are they not made for or by Kubota, they have been modified. So should I fear instant death, dropped warranty, lawyers charging the scene etc.?

Kubota also makes ROPS canopies.

It's just clipped on - hasn't fallen off yet! I always have a folder clipped in my pocket, but the utility blade on the Milwaukee gets used for the harsh stuff

Added much needed safety equipment today

Cut off the bolts, but they were sharp so I added acorn nuts



Thank you for fire extinguisher post that got me thinking I mow offsite 1/4 mile down the road. Building with extinguishers is always locked with my key setting at home.


I need to install on my B2601.

Moved a car trailer around with my B3200 so I could tow our old refrigerator to the dump. The old refrigerator was strapped to the car trailer. Got home and used the tractor to maneuver the trailer back to its parking place.

Took the truck the recycle depot. When I tried to leave could not get it in gear -finally forced it into drive to get home but there was no putting it back in park.

Lucky enough to have a friend nearby who fixes this stuff. Didn't make the circle going and with no reverse am pooched. Kubota to the rescue to pull it back and get me on my way.

Put on a BXpanded toolbox and new FEL knob. I mistakenly ordered the BX 80 series knob for BX 60 series tractor. I kind of like it so thought I’d try it on the joystick. Fits well!

Looks like enough tree falling & log skidding toys. I am assuming that is also a box blade.
Yes it is a BB; we are in the midst of a storm and I mounted my snow fighting gear to be prepared.
When logging, I would normally have the 3 point skidding hitch on and either the grapple forks or in the case of snow conditions, the bucket.
