My wife put in some overtime this week, so she came home early today - shortly after I had finished mowing. Since my back has been bothering me, I asked her to help me rake the windrows of shredded leaves and load them in the trailer behind the BX. My wife HATES yard work, so I put the BX in...

I was visiting my late wife's parents today and my father-in-law has a "new" Kubota he inherited. He has other tractors, so he's just using this one to haul wood and his splitter around the farm.

I spent last Sunday morning in the cardiac ER after waking in the middle of the night with many of the classic heart attack symptoms - tightness in chest, arm numbness, sweating, shortness of breath, and light headedness. All tests for heart damage were negative so I visited my family doctor and...

It used to be mounting the FEL. But, the dealer made some adjustments and I've gotten better at it. Today was my first time mounting the mower and I discovered that I couldn't attach the PTO coupler 1-handed and couldn't lay on the ground and reach it well with both hands. Of couse, I pulled...

... tulips are coming up and I removed the snow blade from the BX yesterday. So far only flurries and nothing heavy in the forecast (yet).

Inspired by Daren's post in the Daily Chuckle, do you have any funny Valentine's Day gifts you can share? (Keep it clean) My wife and I have only been married for a couple years and she's tough to buy for as she doesn't like jewelry. In addition, she made me promise to skip the Valentine's...

Terrible for tractor use, that is. One 14" snowfall and then nothing. The squalls we had a week ago slickened up the freeways, but melted before I could get home and fire up the Kubota. Nothing worthwhile in the forecast, either. My wife is giving me "The look" every time she has to squeeze...

Buying my Kubota must have infected me. I traded in my Honda Ridgeline for a Ram 1500 EcoDiesel, 4x4, crew cab, Laramie Longhorn trim, Rambox. The first tank averaged 25 MPG, which should improve, as I drive about 30K miles per year. It even fits in the garage with my wife's Honda Fit...

I picked up this folding / standing cart for light hauling around the yard. It was great for hauling all my tree pruning stuff today and cleaning up afterwards. (I have a line of hawthorns that the birds love, but I HATE.) Plus, my wife's car still fits on the same side of the garage as the...

My dealer posted a pic from a county fair during the 80's. https://www.facebook.com/BoullionSales/photos/pcb.960421087346950/960419244013801/?type=1&theater

After taking delivery of my BX1870, I put my 1985 JD 318 and implements up on Craigslist. After a few weeks, I had some solid prospects. One guy bought the hydraulic tiller to pull behind his 322. I used a boom pole to lift that 300+ lbs. tiller into his truck bed. (I need some front weights...

I'm replacing my 1985 JD 318 with something diesel, 4WD, and Orange that will last for the next 20 years that I'll be mowing and blowing. My property is small, just over 1/2 acre to mow with one area having a steep side slope, one area that gets mucky after a rain, and rather low hanging trees...
