What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

[The_Wingnut]

Did another round of leaves and grass pickup for us and the neighbors. Sure is nice having a small dump trailer! Then the Mrs. put a new SMV sign she made on the ballast box as I had painted the box a month ago and peeled the old one off.

Sure wish this weather here in MI would continue.

Is your dump hydraulic off of the tractor remotes or battery electric over hydraulic? The reason I'm asking; I have a dump too but it's battery electric over hydraulic and I have to stop and recharge after 2 maybe 3 dumps.

Mowed the area between our driveway and my naked neighbor's, loaded with wing stem. He came out later and asked me if I'd mow some of his up among some trees as he could not get his 4 series JD in there. I did it. He offered me a beer, but I had to turn that down because I have severe celiac disease, and been is gluten.

Why is your neighbor naked?

Why is your neighbor naked?

Likely because he wants to be and after seeing me that way before he started.

Ordered a replacement head light for the LX3310 and gave my chainbox a from Boltonhooks.com a test fit on the QH. I'll get it mounted this weekend.

Transplanted a couple azalea bushes with the stump bucket today. Already hauled several loads of leaves to the back in the past couple months. I'll be hauling leaves until February. Sure could use a nice looking dump trailer. Hard to justify the cost though. Don't have enough property, and ain't interested in hauling stuff for other folks.

Thanks Bud!
The dimensions are 12 ft. x 13 ft. H 8'-6" slopping back to the rear at 6'-6"
I used milled timber 6"x7" and some 8"x8" timber. Couldn't
have done it without Orange!
The bottle opener is on the inside.

Sounds like your battery is on the way out.
My 3yr old Loadtrail has done 11 loads in one day without needing recharging.

Or the battery isn't properly sized for the demand that is put on it. Get the highest CCA battery that you can find, and if you can find a AGM battery that is better than any lead acid battery.

Hmmm, I'll have to look and see when I last replaced the battery. Thanks for the advice on a replacement type.

Working on another load of pine sawlogs before the weather gets too cold.

I use a deep cycle marine AGM battery in my dump trailer.

Lots of tractor work this past weekend and this week clearing up the "barn" that collapsed and making a burn pile. Then there's the firewood debacle. I'll be cutting, loading, splitting and stacking all week no doubt! The small dump trailer is brilliant behind the M, and in case anyone's wondering, I have a chain connected between the draw bar and the King Cutter receiver so that the 3-point can't be lifted by the trailer. I've said it before but the M is a phenomenal tractor and just a joy to own and use. I should have bought an M six years ago but I didn't have a clue about my needs back then.

In an unprecedented move for me I have the MX ready for winter with the front snow blade and rear blower hooked up, adjusted and serviced. Typically I'll be messing with this stuff in the middle of a snow storm and with freezing hands! The guards on each side of the blower were installed incorrectly (see photo) so I fixed that issue. I was going to run the snow blade on the M this year but maybe not. Having two tractors really is the way to go for me. It's so convenient to have them set up for different tasks.

I have two PJ dump trailers, a 16ft and 10ft, both electric over hydraulic and both have the standard lead acid batteries that they came with, and surprisingly I haven't had a problem with either. The trailers have outlets on the outside of the tool/storage boxes with internal trickle chargers and charge indicators but I don't often bother to run an extension cord to them. I do remove the batteries in the winter and keep them on a trickle charger which probably helps.

Like @Trapper Bob I'm a fan of the deep cycle gel acid type batteries having two Optimas in the F250 and one in the Jeep TJ. I haven't needed to buy any for the trailers yet, but when it's time to upgrade I'll most likely get Optima batteries for both.

Beautiful land! Tractors nice too.

Back hoe off. Wood chipper on to clean out a brush pile. After this I will put the MMM on and the cyclone rake on and clean up the leaves. Heck after that I might even wash it before the next project.

 

[S-G-R]

Out with the old

and in with the new. About a 15 minute job to get them swapped.

Next order of business was to install one of @Kennyd4110 chain boxes with lid and a pair of Quickfist buckles to the QH15. About another 15 minute job. Easy to follow directions and top notch product.

Thank you. If I needed a chain I usually borrowed one of dad's but that got inconvenient so I picked it up today.

 

[Siesta Sundance]

Replaced HST filter. When it hits 800hrs, I will be back on the maintenance interval.

Finished up my food plot.
