Thank you. The pit is about 5' diameter. I still have a good bit of stone left. I might make another ring around the outside to double it up. Maybe. When it isn't surface- of- the- sun hot.
Hey g_man : At the time shop.deere.com was the best I could find them (unless you bundle with an order from Good Works Tractors.) Everywhere else was crazy money on the shipping. None of the local-ish dealers ever had anything in stock. Only option was green so bring on the paint! They came with an absurd amount of shipping stickers and tape on them so so had to wire wheel them first. Kind of a lot of effort / expense all told, but excuse to fab something, and I was not liking how light the front end would get in certain situations with the three point loaded up (flail, wood chipper, land plane, box blade). Definitely worth the peace of mind and stability.
Mow once a week for approximately 3 hours. Water 3 times a week for 2.5 hours each time. I'd sooner just mow
Opposite for me. Never cared to mow although I did appreciate the finished product. Now, it's tractor time with no phone so I get some time to unwind and not have to think. I started with 2 acres, went to 6 and then 9. Our new neighbor may want me to do his which will add another 2 acres if we come to an agreement.
I did mine 2 years ago and was pissed to have to buy something that should have been there from the assembly plant, That latch that was there was crap.
I won't argue with you about that. Kubota could have added $300 to the cost of the tractor to cover the handle and I would have still bought an MX6000. I accessed the controls in the cab twice this afternoon using the right side door as I was getting the flail back on the tractor. It's a game changer and something I should have done when I bought the tractor almost 3 years ago. Better late than never I suppose.
I don't know about the 70s, but I bought 42s on an Ebay store for $74 shipped. They packed em in the "it fits, it ships" box for USPS.
I have added controls behind the machine to raise and lower the 3tp hitch and to control the hydraulic top link I also added a adjustable lift arm on the left side to match the one on the right with these mods I don't need to get into the tractor at all anymore to hook anything up back there. I really wish these things were options from Kubota. I wouldn't have minded paying extra to get the features I wanted.
