    Finally used my post hole digger to expand my shed

    Yesterday I finally got to use my post hole digger for the first time on my B2620. Probably a year and a half ago I picked up an old Shaver post hole digger with a 12" auger for $175, cleaned it up and painted it and built a stand for it. The stand makes it easy to move around and also easy...

    Opinions on converting deck to Mulching?

    I have a B262p and they don't offer a mulch kit for it so I put a set of gator blades on the mmm and built a mulch door for it. Here is a link to that post http://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=16704 It works pretty good, I keep saying I'm going to build a set of deck...

    Digging Question...

    I made a ripper attachment for my rear blade when I wanted to run power out to my shed for my block heater on the B2620. If I remember right I used heavy wall 1-1/4" angle iron for the ripper "tooth" and some pieces of plate I had laying around for the rest. Its just a snug fit over...

    Gator blade for 60" MMM

    s I had a couple people tell me that the G-6 blades are heavier than the G-3 and stock blades so it could cause excess wear on the clutch when engaging a heavy set of blades. I have no clue if there is any truth to that or not???:confused:

    Gator blade for 60" MMM

    I don't know if it helps you out or not but the G3 Gator blades for my RCK60-29b mid mount mower deck on my B2620 were part # 96-393. They didn't make a huge difference until I made a mulch door for my deck though, which you can see here...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    We had several dead bushes in front of our house that I have been avoiding pulling out because I figured it would be a pain in the butt. The B2620 and Piranha tooth bar made easy work out of the job, wish I would have done it earlier.... LOL I was able to get under the roots with the tooth bar...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    I put about 8 hours on the B2620 this last week using my piranha tooth bar to widen our driveway by digging out and re grading the hill on one side and removing a little dirt from the other so It wouldn't be high. Boy did the tooth bar make a worlds of difference!. I then got 15 tons of 3-4"...

    How Much Rear Weight on B2620 with Loader???

    Well I decided to go with added weight to my rear blade since it was free to do vs paying to have the tires filled. We had some scrap 5" square tubing at work that I welded end caps on and filled with steel shot. This added 280lbs to the rear blade which is just shy of 240lbs making about...
