What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

[dirtydeed]

I couldn't resist....Seriously, you're so lucky she will do that trimming....


Just be mindful of those deep trenches and potential for collapses....

RCW,

Yes sir. I know I'm lucky. She worked with me when we had the landscaping side business...she quit on me a few times, but always came back to help.

Regarding the deep trenches... for sure. I don't dig the real deep ones as I just don't have enough experience yet. If I get deeper than 4 feet, I always step them back. I certainly don't want to hurt anyone...that would be bad considering my wife is also the GM for the company that I do the digging for.

Finally got some tractor time, well wrench spinning time anyways, the rona has kicked my ass past few weeks. Got most of my summit 3rd function installed. Gotta order 2 90* elbows to correct some haggard hose routing. Other than that, easy install just like the LX was.

That is the craziest looking tractor loader I’ve ever seen (and it has plenty of competition). Would have been a real shame for it to be scrapped. That thing is awesome!

i agree man! It’s just has so much going on, i had To have it. I paid $500 for it, i think I got a solid deal. I cant Wait to get it going and actually try it out!

I dug 280 foot of trench this morning, installed the drain pipe and back filled.

Nice! What do the control switches look like? I don't see them on the loader control.

I said I got most of it installed... Lol. I despise electrical, so it’s waiting till another day. Once the 90’s for the lower side of block come in, I’ll finish everything up. Maybe.

Here is the knob with buttons.

No judging here!!! I have lots of projects at various stages of completion.

Amen... That whole 'money thing' slows down my completion rate!! I told my wife if I had an unlimited budget I could get all my projects done in a week!

With the AC working again, I have been rapidly finishing up my firewood hauling for winter 2022-23.
Been cutting mostly blighty beech .
The first shot was taken amidst some of 2021-22's supply.
2nd shot looking back at the stacks.

Trump flag for the win

awful day today with the mini. I stopped taking pictures after I hit the first line...

But, there were more to follow, unfortunately. First pic was of how far away I was from the utility markings (broken line is just at the edge)....so, I figured that they were off by 3 feet. NOPE, they just didn't bother marking that one at all! You know what they say about ASS_U_MPTIONS.

So 3 cable lines (from two different companies) and I "tickled" a tel-com line.

Anyway, I was trying to be careful but the ground was so friggin hard (hard clay) that I had to use all the digging force I could muster to get it to dig. When that happens, you don't feel shyt (not that you could "feel" any of the lines devoid of conduit.

Today sucked...with a heat index of over 100 just to remind one that you are never in "control". Just glad that they weren't electric or gas.

What are those bits in and near the drill…curious…

Sorry you hit stuff…I hate that when I hit stuff I buried years/decades ago. I have a map of darn near everything underground and have been getting better about not hitting stuff these days…

I tore up a yellow jacket nest or some other biting insect that had a nest in the ground, and didn't get attacked. It is nice to have a cab when you have to evict the problem bugs. They were extremely agitated, and swarmed the Kubota, and as I drove off, they all went their separate way.

How many cords do you burn per season?

How many cords do you burn per season?

5-6 full cords

that’s awesome. I need To install my wood stove. I’m sick of paying the gas company. But even if I don’t use it, their service charges are almost 30$ a month here in NJ

I switched out my woodstove for a wood boiler about 16 years ago. Much more efficient and whole house heat.

I really don't know. The pic is of the cable company tech making the repair. It took them about an hour for the repair on that one.

Lots of reasonable excuses. But ultimately, I'm the one who had the hands on the control sticks.
