That's the one! Silly me, I had the link saved in my favorites, didn't I? And looks like he's added more stuff for the LX Series. Was starting to wonder if the LX was gonna be an orphan.Check specialtyrepaircustoms

What did you do to or on your Kubota today?
- Thread starter gurn
- Start date
Didn't you give me a link one time that lists local sawyers with travelling road shows like yours? I've got a couple pretty big short leave pines (actually on my neighbor's property but leaning on trees on my property) that need to come down. I'd rather not waste them if I can get some lumber out of them to build a lean-to for my tractor equipment.
Going over operation of our Ventrac at work. He’s a natural.
It’s got a Kubota gas engine, so it counts!

I have one too, a 1991 model I bought in 1993.
Permanently relegated to snow removal though.

Just moved the Kubota out of the way to start the annual stowing of the wood pellets. Early start in case there’s a shortage. Will need another ton or two.

Thanks much. Found a few ‘nearby’ sawyers. Will take a closer look on the PC and make a few calls. Might try Faceplant marketplace too. Few are any closer than you are, so might not be cost effective to get em sawn. Shame, cause both the ones that need to come down immediately are at least 24” at the stump and 60’ tall. I have several others that I should probably cull as well because they’re beetle targets with lightning and wind damage. Just don’t want to put em down and create a bigger problem than I already have. There’s probably enough for all the rough lumber I need for the lean-to and then some.

Mike - I haven’t checked recently, but guessing HHO and kerosene are $5.50 or so? Highest I recall is $4.09 in 2008. Both are common here. I have an oil boiler for backup.
Thinking a lot of people are going to get a very poor surprise in September and October.
Natural gas access is limited. Pretty rural.

Wise choice, Len.RCW, I essentially did the same thing. I confirmed the winter contract price and quantity of propane.
Sometimes I notice KC-area weather on the Weather Channel. You guys get 4 seasons more than I thought. Winter heating is important.
Here, we have 2 seasons: Winter and the 4th of July.......
(Just kidding, of course. Old-timer friend always said that)Tughill Tom is the same - but he gets 10-15 FEET more snow than we do.....
That's no joke. They get lots of snow 100 miles up NYS Route 12......
Might be speaking out-of-school, but I think the Tug Hill is considered snowmobile capitol of the northeast. Draw folks from many states. Big business up there.

Aren't you in LA? I see one in Vancleave and another in Lucedale, MS. You may also look at NW Florida.
Used the M to haul the dozer out of the woods after the starter quit on it.
It was a tough slog for the tractor with a combination of pulling from the front and then driving around behind and pushing with the boxblade from the rear of the dozer.
The M would spin its wheels on the uphills when pulling so pushing was the way for them.
Now I got to sort out the dozer.

Picked up 3 front weights that I ordered a year ago from local dealer.
I did a curious ask about BH70 was told about a year out to get one.

Did my 50 hour service at 56 hours today. Everything went smoothly, except the hydro filters were incredibly tight. I had to really bear down to loosen them. Then due to my fumble fingers, I lost about a quart of SUDT. But I had a gallon jug ready, so no problem. I was very surprised to see just a very minor amount of metal dust on the hydro filter magnets. A good rainy day accomplishment.
Thanks.
I had all the metal parts on the tractor and blower blasted and powder coated a couple of years ago. Also repainted the hood and installed new decals and non-slip pads on the foot rest areas.
I scrubbed the cab panels which brightened them up a lot.
Even though it's over 30 years old, I only have ~1100 hours on it, so it's barely broken in.

Not knocking burning pellets I have considered it myself! Just paid $3.99 for oil! My delivery guy said the highest he saw this year was 5.19 a gallon! My new boiler sips fuel! So glad I installed a new boiler last year! Propane was 2.88 but I dont think it lasts as long as oil does. I cant remember how much pellets my neighbor said he burned in a year but I remember it was more than twice the amount of coal I used when i used to burn coal. He also complained about the quality of the pellets he purchased last year. I played with wood, then coal, now I just like to push the thermostat!
