What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

[drumminj]

There are 10 on them for the loader also look at the rubber mat on the floor. There is a little flap there open it and grease that one as well.

Have a pic you can share? The 4701 doesn't come with rubber (floor) mats, so not sure where you're suggesting to grease.

I have greased all the other loader zerks (as far as I'm aware) every 10hrs or so. Just never saw the SSQA pin zerks before today.

Well I have a smaller BX23 so I just figured everyone did(-; I am not sure on yours the BX has a zerk under the floor that most people forget.

Not to be a Karen, but it is not safe for the two of you you use the same seatbelt. If you have to stop fast you will crush the person in front of you if you are both buckled in. I have seen this in car wreaks, also on planes they tell you not to do that.

You must run incredibly fast tractors

Prep work for dig next week. Need to remove old landscaping in "scorched earth" fashion.

Scorched Earth:

It was a hot, muggy, sweaty one today. I decided to leave the stumps for the excavator. I didn't want to grab them with the hoe for fear of breaking the cleanout connections. There is already massive root intrusion in the waste pipe (6 feet down).

So, homeowners...be very careful just where you decide to plant your landscape trees! You'll be digging up your waste lines down the road if you're not careful.

whooped. that heat and humidity just knocked the crap out of me today.

That’s awesome. I let him ride some, just putting around, not doing work.

I’ll have to find the pictures of me on dads old ford, the one I sold a few years back, I was probably 3 and on it alone. Dad would push clutch in with his hand, pop it it first, a bit above idle and turn me loose! Lol. Couldn’t reach the clutch or brakes. Usually stood on the transmission to steer.

Same, we go for a short cruise down the driveway and the private road in the neighborhood in L or M. Sometimes I'll have him sit with me for a minute when I dump a load of dirt or gravel so he can see the FEL work. If I'm doing actual work, my wife keeps him far enough away and I am constantly keeping an eye out to make sure he is where he is supposed to be.

Appreciate your concern and I agree that a shared seatbelt in an automobile or plane (both of which are capable of travelling at speeds that can do damage to the human body) is dangerous. On the other hand, a tractor in L driving on pavement isn't going fast enough to cause any harm to either of us. The seatbelt is buckled around both of us so he doesn't accidentally fall off while travelling at slow speeds.

Wow, there was a house behind that bush? Now they're going to actually have to mow that front yard

I dig the tow/dump rig, very efficient!

The inefficiency was dumping the stuff into the bed of the truck. I had left the damn tooth bar on. I hate that friggin thing when I'm dealing with brush. Everything gets caught up and wont dump. I should've taken the 2 mins to remove it...but I was very hot, sweaty and tired....like a dummy.

Yes Kevin, I know, I know, get a damn grapple.

 

[aaluck]

We cut and laid RR ties. The start of my latest obsession….a clean line between the driveway and the lawn. Have three done that I did last year. Expanding now SORRY FOR THE Duplicates Not sure why

 

[nbking]

Yes that dump rig is sweet

 

[ctfjr]

Back bladed the heaped fill I put over my camera conduit repairs. I waited until we had a couple of good thunderstorms and it packed down well.
Also got to wear my new goat leather gloves. After going through 2 pairs of 'Ironclad Ranchworx' I splurged. A friend suggested them and if nothing else they are super comfy.

Windrows look pretty stout.

Bet it worked the tractor and baler pretty well.

I've picked up a lot more bales off the ground than I care to admit. Usually meant something broke...I wasn't very big at the time. Could barely reach the deck of the wagon.

Conventional small bales? They look long. Bet hefty if they're tight....

What are you using the hay for?

I tedded before raking and the grass was light and fluffy. The NH273 just ate it up and spit it out at 2 MPH. I got a feel for when the shear pin will snap and when I feel it start hitting hard I slow way down to less than a crawl so it ingests the grass. The bales are about average in size and not packed tight, so they come out to about 50 pounds. I harvested about 5 tons of hay there.

These will be up for sale in a week. After a 5 minute downpour I have them spread out on my barn floor with a fan blowing across them to help dry out the outside. The insides are dry, so saved there. I have maybe 6 or 7 bales that are heavy, which means not fully dry when baled and have them setting on the side to monitor for heat. Once the rest of them dry out then I will get them stacked and ready to sell. Since I don't have a hay wagon or large trailer, these will be u-load bales.

Hay wagon is on my list now that I got 8 acres to bale.

 

[ACDII]

Oh, my 3rd Function/Quick Attach Remote finally came in, all 149 pounds of it and is sitting in front of my tool box for when I get the time to tear into it. I have a new to me 2019 F-450 to first do paint correction and PPF with Ceramic. Also have to remove and repaint the front bumper so it doesn't take off and become a rusty pile of doodoo, which is what happened to my King Ranch and had to do a lot of body work to smooth out the huge rust matches before paint.

THEN I will tackle the install. Maybe a How To thread if I feel like taking a bunch of pictures.

Got a couple food plots in. About an acre total. Mowed and tilled once about a week ago, and today tilled again, seeded, fertilized, drug, and packed. Rain in the forecast for tomorrow!

 

[Magicman]

Looks mighty fine !!!

 

[dirtydeed]

finished up where mother nature left off. Another Ash bites the dust. I must've taken 25 down already...more to go.

My "free" firewood pile is starting to grow again. The neighbors sure gobble it up. Maybe I should start asking them if they want to help me in getting them down?

I'm sure that they are eyeing the pile...

I need another two feet. Do you know where I may find one??? I know of a guy that has a brand new/never used 22 footer nearby

I'm a sucker for a good pair of leather gloves. The Kubota ones are surprisingly good too.

Put my L4060 HSTC to work this past week. In addition to my 4 acres, I got another 4 acres of established hay, and wow what a yield. nearly 200 bales from those 4 acres where I am lucky to get 70, if that from mine. Have a way to go.

I ran out of light before I got the bales off the ground and of course had a downpour this morning when the weather report was dry until 11 AM. Now I have the bales sitting on the barn floor with gaps between them to help them dry.

Great photos and really cool to see the 4060 pulling that haybine. My first thought was "wait, he's doing that with the B2410".
