What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

[S-G-R]

I'm starting out with a 30ft x 60ft shed with the idea to add more length at my leisure i.e. another 10ft or 20ft. It'll have a gravel floor and just a place to keep equipment out of the sun and snow with a lean-to along one side at least. This will not start out as a shop, and might never end up as one either. Think cold storage of farm equipment.

Good plan. I try to keep most of my equipment inside. Got a couple of ideas for that as well.

I wish I had lots of storage but I'm working on it. I have to triage storage based mostly on the value or cost of the item and the need to access them easily.

I'm currently paying $250/month to keep the boat in a 15ft x 40ft storage unit about 2.5 miles from the house, and during the summer months I tuck the tractors away along one side of the house (north side) to keep them out of the sun as much as possible. The F-450 is tucked away in the garage and I don't worry too much about the implements. It will be nice to have a place to put implements and trailers but it takes time, effort and money.

Such a neat little trailer! One day I'll buy a 4 or 6 ton dump trailer from Berkelmans Welding to pull behind the tractors rather than mess with trailers designed for trucks as opposed to tractors.

My girl is looking sad these days. She won't even take a good picture anymore. Of course the crap in the bucket doesn't help.

Talked to my guy at Deviney (our tractor dealer) yesterday. Looks like shes going to head on in probably 3 weeks or so from now. Berries will mostly be done by then, and i'll be able to do without her for a bit.

They're going to get her face all straightened out and possibly another loader. I caught ten shades of hell putting the loader back on a couple weeks ago. I think she might be a little tweaked.

Maybe you been talkin’ dirty to her but when she wants to feel like a lady she wants to have some new bling?

Berkelmans make a solid trailer. They're pricy new and I looked for a used one for two years before buying the Creekbank. A month later, a nice used one popped up...

How often do you clean the grease out of the loader pins and regrease? Mine is looking quite...messy at least it's greased.

If you’re taking the loader off anyway, why not go ahead and give ‘em a good scrub to inspect them? The loader is hella easier to clean with it off. I would recommend at least once a year minimum, but it can’t hurt to do more, especially if you’re in cleaning mode anyway

Gave the tractor a bit of a clean today after last week's job. Got all the dust off, blew out the air filter and radiator screen. Did a walk around and checked things. Then washed it, polished the paint, waxed it and put a water bead coating on the paint. Also used interior cleaner around the dash

She's shiny now! Again. Don't worry about the bucket.

Put my hydraulic top link on. Should save a bunch of time and hassle no one of my attachments is the same top link length. Bingo!

Nobody's ever complained of building "too much" shed. My theory is that you use all of whatever you build and eventually want more.

ive got r14 on my 6060 and they have been fantastic all last winter in the ice and snow and then this spring in mud season.

no regrets at all

Would you have a item number for the R14's @JonM ? They don't seem to be available in Canada. They list 2-3 turf, R1, R4 and Nokian snow tires. If i can't get R14's im leaning towards the Nokians.

That Looks great. Where did you get yours?

I just recently added one too. It’s been so wet this spring and start to summer I haven’t mowed this year at the other place. I hope to try it tomorrow.

If you have it financed with KTAC, they will just give you another loader assembly. If not, it will be an expensive fix. Have them quote you on a new loader versus repairing the old one. You might find that the new one is not as expensive as the repair.

Orange horse took the red horse to the garden. Had to till the weeds out of the concrete! Man that was rough.

I also did the same today but didn't take a picture of the 2 in action today.
But the new dirt that the B6000 spread in the spring is doing fantastic in the garden.

I ordered it from vevor. I know I’m excited as well I have so many rear attachments and the constant adjustment was just annoying

Just finished mowing tonight (10:00 PM here in PA). Started mowing right after the rain stopped. The right numbers tonight were 3 MPH and 420 PTO RPM for very good results. We got home earlier this evening after being away for a few days. Grass was too tall to ignore. I don't mow on Sundays and the weather early next week doesn't look great.

What's the purpose for the rectangular shiny "handle" or clip?

It just to hang it if you don’t have a quick hitch like a normal top link. I ended up taking if off cause t just gets in the way if it falls forward it will pinch the check valve.

"Happiness is" going from this (the grass was 5 ft. tall...):

To this (in 6 hours of Kubota enjoyment):

I now think of it as "tractor therapy". We're in the middle of a stressful move, and getting back on the tractor to catch up on things like this was a huge stress reliever.
