I had to cut two 3' x 3' squares out of my garage floor. They weren't breaking up very easily to remove. Instead of breaking up, once I got a corner cleared I pried it up a bit then used the forks to pluck them out. Saved me several hours of swinging the BFH and my back is not sore.
What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

Touched mower blades up and started service on the deck. Drained gearbox, will add oil when it’s down.
Still have the loader on, and the tire chains are still on too. Got some work to do before I mow anything. We did have snow showers yesterday….

For what it’s worth, I use this foldable work table a lot. Sets up in a minute and folds in much less. Can’t recall name, but really handy in a small space.
Had an unusual day today, started out trying out my new Woodland Mills wc68 wood chippper this morning, works great. Got a text from my neighbor on the lake letting me know that they were on their way from California to their cabin here in Minnesota and would be here next Tuesday. I let them know that there was still two feet of snow in their drive, so they asked if I could blow them out. So this afternoon I reinstalled the snowblower as I had already removed it a month ago then headed over to blow out their 1000 foot driveway. Really slow going as it was heavy wet snow from all winter. Took about three hours to get it opened up. Rain in the forecast, so that will help melt the rest. Hope to get the blower off and FEL put back on tomorrow.
Rented a splitter last weekend as I had a fair amount of rounds I cut up from a few ash and maples I had to take down. I have a few more that need to some down this year so I wanted to get this wood split before dealing with more.
Nancy and I worked through it with a few hours each day, about 3+ cord total. Of course we don't burn wood at this house but we do at our cabin in VT so it will make the trek up there over the summer.
2601 was just a mule to get the splitter to the back yard.........of course the 2601 got all that wood back there to being with last year......

They look like titans with the built in receiver. I have the same ones...
Indeed. They are the Titans........which I just saw are like $260 more today than in 2020 when I bought them.

The other day my BX started killing the engine when I would move the H-N-L lever to low or high. after wiggling it back and forth sometimes it would start, but would cut in and out when moving the tractor around. Pulled the right tire and adjusted the safety switch, but the problem persisted. So today I went to the local Kubota dealer and picked up a new K1122-62250 switch, pulled the rear tire again and installed the new switch. Works fine now, no problem.
The old switch didn't feel the same as the new one when you pushed the plunger in, so it looks like the problem is solved. When the dealer gets another of the switches in, I'm going to change the PTO safety switch also, just as a precautionary measure.
A car tire dolly works great to remove and install the loaded rear tires, those buggers are heavy to manhandle on and off.

Picked up some 20ft 5/16" G70 chain for the bucket hooks, another 6ft 5/16" G70 chain with a slip hook at one end, and a drawbar hook to pull out some really heavy stumps in inaccessible areas of my woods.
Been too wet and raining to do much tractoring, so installed a subwoofer behind the seat to give it some bass and no sound like a 1930's radio broadcast. $160 total, perfect fit.
Sounds so much better now, only thing I had to add the 3/4" plywood to raise it above the two bolts for the SMV bracket, so had to move the seat up a little bit to keep from striking it.

This morning tractor had loader, skid plate and chains on.
Finished servicing the mower and made the seasonal transformation.
Have to admit it gets tougher as I get older. Still will make a couple more passes on thedriveway with the box blade, but that’s easy with the quick hitch.

Tired of leakdown on BH bucket so chained it up, same as stabilizers last year. Gotta find some 5/16 chain sleeve. Seems to hold fine, we’ll see when bouncing down the road.
Got the flat face bucket back, just need to paint over the epoxy.
Oh, and don’t hate on me - emailed with Flip about the bucket

What's the purpose of the epoxy on that bucket? Just to keep the surface finish intact?Tired of leakdown on BH bucket so chained it up, same as stabilizers last year. Gotta find some 5/16 chain sleeve. Seems to hold fine, we’ll see when bouncing down the road.

After 3 years of ownership, removed the loader arms from the L2501, and mowed some of my fields and the trails in the woods. It was extremely nice not having to watch those arms while going around objects.
Did a much needed hydro oil/filter/screen change (just cleaned screen) last week. Not sure if I will ever tackle the front axle leak on the BX. 
Just topping it off every now and then.
Next job will be to change out the rotted “step” on the BX with the new “LineX’d” one. Weather warming up slightly this coming week but has been in the low 30’s every night.

Yes, after grinding off spatter from the removals that’s the only product they had close to orange. I plan to paint over it but I’m assuming it will quickly come off during use.
This weekend I planted 9 more boxwoods along the top of the driveway. Again the stump bucket made it easy going.
Then I worked on the tree I dropped a few days ago. It ended up wedged between 2 trees (actually a single tree that has 2 trunks).
It was at about a 30 deg angle so I used the fel to push against it about 6' off the ground at a 90 deg angle to it. It snapped it in 2 and the largest piece was now on the ground.
That left a sizable length still stuck in the tree, now at ~ a 45 deg angle. A chain was attached near the base and secured at the tractor end by going around my ballast box. I was able to do a straight pull back and slide it out and onto the ground.
With 'grapple sized 'cuts of the trunk made (it was long dead so no branches) they were carried into the woods and dumped in the dry water course.
I also disposed of the small tree it took down with it when it fell.
