What did you do to or on your Kubota today?
- Thread starter gurn
- Start date
The other day my BX started killing the engine when I would move the H-N-L lever to low or high. after wiggling it back and forth sometimes it would start, but would cut in and out when moving the tractor around. Pulled the right tire and adjusted the safety switch, but the problem persisted. So today I went to the local Kubota dealer and picked up a new K1122-62250 switch, pulled the rear tire again and installed the new switch. Works fine now, no problem.
The old switch didn't feel the same as the new one when you pushed the plunger in, so it looks like the problem is solved. When the dealer gets another of the switches in, I'm going to change the PTO safety switch also, just as a precautionary measure.
A car tire dolly works great to remove and install the loaded rear tires, those buggers are heavy to manhandle on and off.

Picked up some 20ft 5/16" G70 chain for the bucket hooks, another 6ft 5/16" G70 chain with a slip hook at one end, and a drawbar hook to pull out some really heavy stumps in inaccessible areas of my woods.
Been too wet and raining to do much tractoring, so installed a subwoofer behind the seat to give it some bass and no sound like a 1930's radio broadcast. $160 total, perfect fit.
Sounds so much better now, only thing I had to add the 3/4" plywood to raise it above the two bolts for the SMV bracket, so had to move the seat up a little bit to keep from striking it.

This morning tractor had loader, skid plate and chains on.
Finished servicing the mower and made the seasonal transformation.
Have to admit it gets tougher as I get older. Still will make a couple more passes on thedriveway with the box blade, but that’s easy with the quick hitch.

Tired of leakdown on BH bucket so chained it up, same as stabilizers last year. Gotta find some 5/16 chain sleeve. Seems to hold fine, we’ll see when bouncing down the road.
Got the flat face bucket back, just need to paint over the epoxy.
Oh, and don’t hate on me - emailed with Flip about the bucket

What's the purpose of the epoxy on that bucket? Just to keep the surface finish intact?Tired of leakdown on BH bucket so chained it up, same as stabilizers last year. Gotta find some 5/16 chain sleeve. Seems to hold fine, we’ll see when bouncing down the road.

After 3 years of ownership, removed the loader arms from the L2501, and mowed some of my fields and the trails in the woods. It was extremely nice not having to watch those arms while going around objects.
Did a much needed hydro oil/filter/screen change (just cleaned screen) last week. Not sure if I will ever tackle the front axle leak on the BX. 
Just topping it off every now and then.
Next job will be to change out the rotted “step” on the BX with the new “LineX’d” one. Weather warming up slightly this coming week but has been in the low 30’s every night.

Yes, after grinding off spatter from the removals that’s the only product they had close to orange. I plan to paint over it but I’m assuming it will quickly come off during use.
This weekend I planted 9 more boxwoods along the top of the driveway. Again the stump bucket made it easy going.
Then I worked on the tree I dropped a few days ago. It ended up wedged between 2 trees (actually a single tree that has 2 trunks).
It was at about a 30 deg angle so I used the fel to push against it about 6' off the ground at a 90 deg angle to it. It snapped it in 2 and the largest piece was now on the ground.
That left a sizable length still stuck in the tree, now at ~ a 45 deg angle. A chain was attached near the base and secured at the tractor end by going around my ballast box. I was able to do a straight pull back and slide it out and onto the ground.
With 'grapple sized 'cuts of the trunk made (it was long dead so no branches) they were carried into the woods and dumped in the dry water course.
I also disposed of the small tree it took down with it when it fell.

Cut down about 20-30 buckthorn and a half dozen dead cedar trees between last weekend and this weekend and made a 6'x20' pile of branches and a 5'x5' stack of firewood. My buddy showed up this evening with his SSQA forks and we loaded up all the brush and crammed it into the 16' dump trailer. I also used the bucket to move about 4 buckets full of rotted stumps the idiot previous HO left behind in the woods. Woods look so much cleaner now and all the rotting branches and problem trees are gone for the most part. I'm very impressed with the LX2610. Was able to maneuver it around trees on unpacked soil in 4x4 and it never skipped a beat or got stuck.
Next weekend I'll borrow his woodland Mills stump grinder and hit a few stumps that are in the way.

Good luck with that! Be careful. Let us know how it worked out.
Pulled my side rake out to repair it after it broke a yoke last week. Thankfully I found a yoke and u-joints that fit and didn't cost a small fortune, so that has been repaired, but I had to take all the tine bars off and all the bearing housings off, clean them, and toss out whatever bearings were bad, JB weld two housings, and ordered 3 bearings. Tractor is sitting in front of the garage with the rake still attached. I can assemble 4 of the 5 bars now, and wait for the replacement bearings for the 5th bar.
I have yet to touch the MoCo and Baler, and both need work, the baler needs chains and a bearing replaced, and the MoCo needs new sickle bar and guards, along with some welding repairs.

Thanks, will report back this week. Most of my accessible stump removal went well so now I just need to tie a chain around a large stump/rootball and move it out of the woods we're I can get to bucket to it.
