What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

[mcmxi]

Keep that chit out up there and out of South Texas.

I can't promise anything but I'll try!

Chipped up the lower limbs cut from a Grandaflora Magnolia that is getting far too big and never has blossomed. Hoping the stress will cause it to blossom. Doesn't look too bad.

Needed to be done: lots of sprouts and vines. One tiny vine wrapped itself around the WM WC46 feed roller. Took a while pushing stuff in there to get the vines chewed off.

Wood chipping on the 46 is loafing. Fuel usage is back down to below 0.4 gph vs. up around 0.5 on the rotary cutter.

I'll take anything that has moisture in it !

You who don't like moisture, I bet, are paying a premium price for hay.

mcmxi as much as I like snow blowing, I'm just not ready yet. Please keep that stuff there for another month.

We had at least 6", maybe more, of heavy, wet snow at the house this morning and it's been snowing all day. I used the snow blade and blower on the MX for the first time this winter clearing 400 yards of driveway. I adjusted the snow blade skids and am ok with how they are now. I was unloading and splitting wood a couple of days ago but now the trailer is full of snow.

What the hell?! You were just splitting wood two days ago and it looked nice out. What happened?

Looks nice, but I would not want to live with that crap.

No snow here yet (Western Washington)

Almost ready for some 5/8- gravel and a decorative retaining wall. (it will be the same block as what's in the background I placed earlier this year)

Both ours are Liberty’s. I got mine about 25 years ago. Dad got a little jealous and picked up his the next year. Agree, best stove I’ve ever had. Burns clean enough I only need to clean the chimneys once a year and no catalytic converter to maintain.

I only have to clean mine in the spring too. It is triple wall staight up thru single story so less than 20'. Once it is going you hardly see smoke out side it burns so clean.

I see you used the shipping crate the same way I did. I've got the same WC-68. Dunno how much stuff I could have chipped that I previously piled and shoved into the washes on my property. Now I gotta get it all back out and start working toward landscaping the washes to be natural drains, but something I can keep mowed/clean. That's gonna be a whole lot easier now I have the grapple.

Can't say that putting casters on the shipping crate was my idea. I got it from someone on this forum..maybe you.

I know!! There had been a couple of snow flurries over the past week but nothing like what we had yesterday. The power went out around midnight last night and is still out for a lot of folks in Flathead Valley, including me.

The Fall has been so mild that many trees still have their foliage and all that snow has resulted in trees and/or limbs down all over the place, with some taking out power lines, or tripping circuits at least.

I have a Kubota GL7000 generator so I'm doing fine, although I should have installed the Reliance transfer switch kit that I bought about a year ago. For now I'm running an extension cord or two into the house. I really need to get on that. Maybe this outage is the motivation that I needed.

The snow sure is nice to look at though.

Postcard worthy pic. Pretty country.

Well mcmxi's posts convinced me.

got to love top n tilt for hooking up when things don't go according to Hoyle. . . One of my cheap furniture dollies gave up the ghost resulting in a slightly off level hookup.

Washed it, greased it and adjusted the chain tension.

bring it on!

Different ecosystem, snow or freeze in South Texas right now would make things even worse. The avg. daily highs stay in the 70's until January.

Speaking of snow, I do have an RV pad available with full hook ups for snow birds. If interested, let me know and I will provide a link.

Wow, awesome pic. Where abouts are you? Send some of that weather to Michigan ASAP!

 

[dclauria]

I dragged my driveway with my 84" LP lane plane one last time before winter arrives. Also received an email today that my EA 60" Wicked Root grapple that I ordered July 20th was shipped today, and should arrive next Tuesday. At least I have a couple of weeks of deer season to unload it & try it out before I remove the loader to install my front snowblower before serious snow arrives!

Very nice! What model of snowblower do you have there? It looks like a slightly smaller version of mine which is an SB1574.

I've never owned a camper, RV etc., but that photo has me wondering why not. I work remotely so I could be just about anywhere. Do you have a fast wifi network available?

Thanks! In the Flathead Valley, about 30 minutes from Glacier National Park. It's still snowing!!

Used my land plane for the first time since buying it Summer ‘18. It’s not as simple as hitching it up and dragging it around. The top-link can dramatically affect the efficiency and result.
I had thought all I had to do was lay it down level and pull it…but the center of the road had a bit of grass growing in it and that bunched up and piled turf, dirt, gravel before the front blade….and then created a huge amount of dirt between the implement and the tractor which refused to re-distribute until I lifted the implement and re-set it.
I finally found that “sweet spot” that worked perfectly and am happy with a nice, level, smooth dirt/gravel road. Shoulda took a pic.

It's a Blizzard B64 (Radtech). I picked it up on Craigslist last year and converted it to electric rotation and chute deflection.

It worked great last year. Not nearly as robust as my Normand I had on my L3400.
