Took the little girl for a walk…Scraped some sod off, then tilled a test patch for a fall planting (winter planting).
What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

lol, I would have just bought the 7/8" diameter clevis pin that it was designed for, and had more time to drink more of those "Liquid brain improvers",

I am still enjoying/appreciating the 50 gallon Diesel transfer tank that I added last year. It's no problem to dump a couple of 5 gallon jugs into it when the payback is not having to lift them up and onto the tractor hood.
The M4900 and 3008 Bush Hog doing their job.
Pulling the single tooth subsoiler through and hoping for some rain/moisture. I need to disc and plant abound mid-October.
We have not had any measurable rain since May.

It's becoming a desert here, I probably should start a Tequila farm, cull off the cattle and begin planting blue agave plants/Cactus.
2 weeks ago, I planted 8 acres with Bermuda grass seed cause we had like 5+ forecasted days of some good rain potential, NEVER received a drop, most likely $600 wasted.
I've had the cows on hay since July, I bought 10 months worth of hay in June, I anticipated a very dry summer/fall with seeing the summer starting off with June temperatures 9 degrees above normal. I'm going to disc up another atleast another 8 to 10 acres, I want my soil to absorb as much moisture as it can if we will ever get the rain. The agricultural termites have pretty much eaten up all the native grass forage, it's unreal. I'm just glad I started over with a new and younger herd(1 bull, 6 cows) this year, and with 6 less cows compared to last year.
Even the damn barometer bush became a liar, it can't even get the weather right, never received a drop after making this video. It did rain about 1in approx 3 miles west of me that next day after the video.
Yesterday was the a busy and fun day. My son picked up 2 more mowing jobs that have not bin touched all summer. The city was going to fine the owners because the grass was so tall. He wanted to use the tractor and bushhog.
He was going to drive a half hour out here to get it and have to bring it back. On The way home from church I thought I need to mow the bee yards one more time why not just do it the same day and saves him a trip out here.
I mowed the 2 locations that needed mowed and the field we are trying to clean up at the church. I was finished before he was planning to pick up the tractor. He was going to load it back on the trailer to drive 1/4 mile to the first job and another 1/4 mile to the second one. I told him just put it in high gear and drive it down the road. He did not like that idea until I reminded him that that bright ORANGE tractor, FEL and bush hog are a lot easer to see than the ATV he drives for the city.
He is in the sewer department and is using a VERY expensive camera to map all of the sewer lines. because a lot of them are not correct on the map.
Just before he left I was getting ready to drop the trailer to go to the bank and he walks over and hands me the keys to his car??? He has a NEW 2023 Dodge Challenger that is a limited edition that he parks way out buy it's self even at church and he is letting me drive it. In my younger days I built several street race cars so this brought back a lot of memories. It is very nice but I had trouble getting out of it. These joints don't flex as good any more.
Got home with the tractor and it took me a half hour to get the bush hog off and another half hour to put the backhoe on.
No pictures, but I will try to remember to take some when I rebuild the well pit in to a well house next week. I am 1/4 of the way through replacing all of the windows and siding on our house this HOT fall, first. Time to start removing siding on the front wall.

MagicMan, do you put algaecide or other treatment in your tank. Seems like a good idea to have more than 5 or 10 gallons of fuel around. Never know when you will need it with the unpredictable weather lately.

Spreading some topsoil between our two lots. There is a dip from the field being farmed so I'm leveling it off.
And I hit 250 hours at 17 months of ownership.

Is algaecide mostly a summer thing? Or should I be adding that all year round even if it gets cold in the winter?

It's a simple matter for me to add it to the 5 gallon jugs when I fill them. It's not gonna hurt anything if it is not needed.

I use biocide year round. My choice and cheap insurance in my estimation. Can be a real hassle if you get the system plugged up with microbial growth.

You gotta remember that I am in South Central Mississippi so "Winter" has a very different definition here.

I predict that these stabilizers will not coincide with (at least some) Landpride implements. Some of them have very large link pin mounts, which come very close to the lift arm ears. Those stabilizers will interfere with some implements- if you consider buying these stabilizers, check that your implements will clear them.
