What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

[Bmyers]

Nephew and I worked on trimming trees. We went around with a pole saw and chainsaw cutting all the limbs we could find that interfere with mowing. I thought it take us 20 to 30 minutes, but 3 hours later we were finally done. Hauled lots of limbs to the brush pile.

pulled a few pictures from the cameras last night. I talk a lot of smack on my Pronovost Lynx rear blower, I call it crude and 'savage'... but I will never speak ill of it ever again. It did a great job without missing a beat, not even a shear pin. With enough snow it just purrs. Several areas were higher than its opening, and it just chewed away. Cleared my property, and a few neighbors. Felt so cold outside working for 5 hours at 7°. One day definitely getting a cab... Storm total here was 18"

Hooked up the battery tender to the B3200 and my Polaris Sportster. Picked up 20 gal of diesel to top off the storage tank

Started up the B2601 and moved it outside to piddle around and let it sit idling while I piddled around and got 3 things done:
1. Cup holder attached to the hole in outer left of loader tower. It's the top to a Frontier (bush hog) doc holder. Little bit bigger and deeper than the one provided on the B behind the seat and handier out front.
2. Mounted the bottom part of the doc holder onto the inside of the left ROPS just in front of the triangle safety sign. The fire extinguisher slides right into it. Had to secure with 2 zip ties because there's no room even for a bolt head, as the fire extinguisher is an exact fit. The original lips that secured this doc holder broke off. Nowhere to bolt it.
3. Moved the roll over protection folding top to the 45 degree position. Clears the garage door by about 2 inches. Will provide more safety margin that at 90 degree position. May go back to wearing my seat belt.

Had some flooding issues earlier this month....so my neighbor and I put in a third culvert to keep things flowing we hope!

Not to be critical but rather inquisitive, why do you set your backhoe so high in the air? I would think you would be more stable if the back wheels were resting on or near the ground and raise the front just enough to be level.

Hi BigG,

I get a better base with it on the two rear feet and the single flat edge of the bucket in front than when I've left either set of wheels on the ground, even with a fair amount of the weight off them.....I don't get the (technical term) "wigglies" when I'm moving the backhoe arm left or right.
I also get a little more downward reach closer to the tractor, but that isn't really that much more noticeable.

Pushed snow banks back.I hope Curtis makes a cab for the LX2610SU

Hauled some logs to the FIL’s to split. Loaded bucket with stuff that I cut a few days ago from a blowdown that happened a few weeks ago.

I had to move Stone Hinge to a different location until ( She ) can figure out it's final resting place...

 

[DustyRusty]

I realized that my tractor is just about as cold-blooded as my old girlfriend was.

Be careful you don't cut through the straps your using on the bucket edge.
I have a piece of 2" PVC that's split. Slip it over the edge and it protects the sling.

lol
been there, done that!

I moved 5 large boulders 1000' from the woods behind our house to the top of the driveway. I had just completed 2 planting areas up there and conferred with the boss where she wanted them put. Big mistake not having her be really specific

After they were placed she gave them the thumbs down. I had her watch as I repositioned each one.

Question.... I have never used a backhoe. Is it standard to lift all the wheels off the ground when using it? Ive seen some other photos of folks and haven't noticed the wheels off the ground.

EDIT: Didn't see someone already asked below your post

Replaced the tiny tool box with one from HF for $7: almost exactly same footprint but about 3 times deeper. Has a tray for pins and smaller containers on lid for even smaller things.

Sorry for the slightly blurry pics. Hope I'm not getting Parkinson's.

Just finished up clearing out from the storm. The snow was really heavy. Had to unclog the chute 6 times and stalled out twice while blowing. I was going slow and at full throttle, but man what a workout. I wound up using the rear blade quite a bit to help with the heavier stuff.

 

[rc51stierhoff]

I used the B and the loader to clean up the mess my atv made plowing. Really Stewing over some chains. I just prefer to use the atv…just more than she could handle. Ice reminded me why so many of you operators have chains. I was so jealous i needed a cigar and a bourbon to settle myself down

 

[johnjk]

Finally got to cleaning up the snow. Wet heavy with ice underneath. Lots more bucket work than I was thinking there would be. Two hrs and one good cigar. Done till the next round

 

[RCW]

Aftermath…battery tender back on.
Like everyone else, moved some snow. Ate some of it.

All went fine.

We had 2-3” of hard ice and sleet with 3” snow on top.

Did use back blade a little; made it pretty, but it was a smooth slick mess. Put it away quickly. Above freezing next week, better to leave some on it. Maybe I’ll scrape it on a thawing day, but I need a good base on my gravel driveway.

A repeat of last week.
