Is this a view of your truck's bed or a trailer? At first glance it looks like a truck bed haha.
What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

That's crazy! I don't think I seen a pick up with a bed camera like that before. What if you put a headache rack or a cap on? Surely it will block the view. Haha.

I took a chance.... I emptied the 100g transfer tank (died) last fall. I haven't done much with the tractors and the 6x4 only sips diesel. I have a 55g drum that was filled full at the same time. The fuel is over 3 years old. When I brought the stuff home I knew it would be a while but I didn't expect 3+ years. I added stabilizer when I set the drum. Sealed the bung tight and it has a riser. So there it's sat for all this time - 105+ in the summer but not in direct sun and some neg temps in the winter. It was closed tight the whole time.
What to do? If the fuel is a problem the ol B7100 manual is the guy to experiment, forgive me for it being the sacrificial lamb. I had 1/3 tank and filled it with the old fuel on top of other old fuel
. No water and I pumped slow so I could watch the bowl.
It runs just fine. I'm not suggesting anyone do this but what do you do with a drum of old fuel? I had to try it. If anything it is time to freshen up the fuel system on the B7100. But no, no problem. I don't need to do anything to the old B7100. I greatly respect that old machine - it's like the lunker at the county fair.
Don't do this but you can.

Another day of clearing land. So the land owner hired me for 3 days, he doesn't live here and he showed up today and then he hired me for a few more days. He really likes my work, so that's a good thing. Didn't take much pictures today.
Not gonna leave the grease gun out over night anymore.
This bar ditch coming from the road was a bit dangerous, it was steep enough to overturn the orange if not careful.
I cut/smooth off the edges of the bar ditch to be a bit more tractor and livestock friendly.
Stacking little 1200lb mesquite trunks on burn piles.

Cleaned up around the yard.
And then made a mountain out of a molehill at the wife's request so the granddaughter had a place to slide.

I can see the purpose of the edge markers if running on the street and you want to let other vehicles know where the blade is, but I don't really see a need for them if you stay on your property. Perhaps I'm missing something .... oh yeah .... both edge markers!Replaced the plow marker that broke earlier this week. For those in need, I highly recommend a set from Winter Equipment.

If I were to replace them, I would look for an edge marker with a spring mount of some sort so that they can move without breaking off, but the ones you got do look to be well designed and virtually indestructible and maybe the best deal out there.
Hopefully the product is better than their spelling abilities.

Your certainly not wrong and they can definitely be a nuisance around other objects. However, in the increasingly rare instances where we get 2-3' of snow, they are helpful to know where the ends of the plow are.I can see the purpose of the edge markers if running on the street and you want to let other vehicles know where the blade is, but I don't really see a need for them if you stay on your property.

Fell a dead Ash tree yesterday and used the grapple to pull it down the hill to the driveway. Cut it up into 80" logs and took them to the "splitting area".
I have been out of commission. Had the knee worked on last week.
Our daughter cleaned the driveway and has been keeping the fire wood stocked.
She likes the heated cab on the tractor.

The way I understand...these are to let you know where the cutting edge is. I have a rubber flap on my plow to prevent snow from going over the plow and to let it roll, so it's hard to tell exactly where the cutting edge is.I can see the purpose of the edge markers if running on the street and you want to let other vehicles know where the blade is, but I don't really see a need for them if you stay on your property.

For me the markers help big time especially when back dragging in front of garage doors. I can get the cutting edge like with in a half inch of door because of the markers.
That's how I've always used them anyways.
I think they can come in more handy for us with smaller tractors that can't fully see the front of the blade from the operator's station. @mcmx being on his M or MX has an advantage with a higher operator station than those using a b or L series. It also comes with use and familiarity with your machine.
