What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

[jimh406]

Smoothed out the community road again with the grader/scraper and changed my oil. Minor PITA, why do you have to remove a cover with bolts to easily access the filler hole with a typical funnel.

I’m finding the road getting better and better as I smooth it out and the neighbors pack it down with the fines. I’m kind of wondering how many people are noticing that our “unmaintained” part of the road is better than the “maintained” by the county part of the road. I’ve even had UPS drivers and transient workers stop while I’m running the grader/scraper, and tell me how much better the road is now.

NOTE: much of the work was done earlier in the year by neighbors to put down the gravel before I had a tractor. I’m just the person who’s taking the good road and making it great using the grader/scraper. Highly recommend a grader/scraper for this type of work. It’s night and day difference for a few passes.

Mowed last time for the season. Got a 5’ TSC County Line back blade on way home from work.

Blade will definitely need a stand and shoes.

I know CL isn’t best quality, but just looking for some snow clean up around garage, etc.

Besides that, doesn’t seem to be many choices around. The TSC I bought pellets and britches from had zero blades. The one near work had two; a 6’ on layaway, and this one.

Let us know how this works. Been thinking about finding a rear blade to back up to garage doors instead of back blading with pusher. I’ll need a heavy one though.

Cub Cadet lost a job its had for the past 15 years ....

I thought I would give the kubota 60" MMM a shot at mulching and blowing leaves of to the side of the yard into the woods. OMG the speed and power

Pokey - - will do.

After looking at it, I think a piece of rubber mat bolted in between the metal cutting edge and blade will do okay. The bolts are long enough. They may envision that type of thing.......

Kills me...I just threw something out that would have worked. I seldom throw something out.

Probably turn it backwards.

For those of you with the short pin problem. 10. Second fix. And under 2$ No paint needed lol

Small job, replaced a valve stem core on a calcium loaded rear tire.
Noticed a slow drip recently, just had it loaded by the tire shop this summer.
$4 dollars for the core removal tool and 4 cores.
Saved me a 8 mile round trip drive to the tire shop.

Got a couple aftermarket skid shoes bolted on my new to me 60" 3 Pt snowblower and
mounting a couple rear view mirrors w/magnets today, ready for my first
rear mount snowblower winter , I hope.

That totally looks photoshopped.

Project update.
this is what happens when you till straight woods and throw down seed

recap, my neighbor had woods, tree company removed the trees. He wanted grass and wasnt real picky about it. For the heck of it, before he threw money at a contractor (first bid was $2500), I said lets just till it, rake it, seed and see what happens. All you have to lose is the cost of seed if it doesn't work.

There are a few bare spots, which I'm sure a little topsoil can clear up in the spring. There was nothing added to this, no topsoil, no fertilizer... just tilled the forest floor, raked flat, and seed. It's not the golf course ctfjr made, but I'm pretty surprised!

 

[bird dogger]

Those bare spots may just fill in by themselves later this year or next spring. I had tilled and reseeded my front yard (late summer/early fall). Raked in seed and it barely showed any growth....even over the next summer. Was too busy to till it up and reseed again. The second year (in the spring) all of a sudden...kaboom....the seed exploded into a nice lush green carpet only a few days before I was going to completely redo it again. Sure glad I waited! Procrastination does pay off sometimes.

Just got my L3901 a few weeks ago (birthday present from my wife). Immediately went to work on all the projects I have.
Had ordered an MX8800 wood chipper that I received very quickly and put it to good use. I have been working on a walking path on my property over the past year or so for my wife and dog to take their morning walks. With the L3901 and chipper things are now progressing nicely.

Oh, and made some side view mirror holders. We'll see how they work out.
It's all very exciting to have this great machine.

Nothing productive, just rode around the woods.

The ONLY blade to buy is the EA Deluxe Rear Scrape Blade.
I have had two others: one a Speeco, and one a King Kutter.
The EA blade is VASTLY superior!!!

Got some stuff to make a stand for the new back blade.

Probably not best deal, but just going to go through gusset. A 1/4" bolted floor flange and 1" nipple. Drill a 1" hole in the gusset. Slide a 1/2" pipe with floor flange through it. Put some holes for pins to hold "leg" up and down. Simple simple. All black iron.

We've been talking about steel prices....$35 worth of parts....swallowed hard on that one.

I really didn't have anything I could make work....trust me, I wracked my old noggin to find an alternative....

Yep, something similar was plan A....

I was concerned with getting a decent weld on the sleeve. Last thing I want is it breaking in early January at dark-thirty when I need to hook it up. I added the $8 flange to bolt it to the gusset.

Appreciate the photo, as I was going by memory.

Soil line repair today...was told it was 4 feet deep. Turned out to be closer to 6 feet. Did this one with the B2650 since there was little room. Digging was a bit slow since I was digging under a bay window. That really wasn't much fun. A 6 foot deep hole makes for a larger dirt pile than you would think. Here's a few shots from today's festivities...the Colonel was called yet again...

Start:

lunch with the "Colonel"

Backfilling. Watch that window!

Done. Window still in tact. Whew.
