Kubotas at play. Er, I mean work!

It was only 3' long, probably weighs close to a ton, says the log chart. Only having to move them about 100 yrds from the tree service dumps them to our processing area, closer to home.

 

You about ready for farming with 1 that big...

 

Better pictures of the counterweight. We built it from an old 3 PT frame and a short steel table that was in the scrap hopper. The rollers are from a D8. Weighs over 800lbs. Bottom section makes good storage for chains.



Also added a tongue with 2" ball. Easy to move trailers around or hook chain to it.
Makes a great bumper, more compact than the harrow, weighs more than a box blade.

 

I don't remember the rating. After we added the grapple, we added a 2mm shim to the pressure relief valve, boosted the pressure about 250 psi. I checked it with gauge. That chunk was 1800lbs or so. Log calculator said about a ton green.

 

I don't know about you guys, but with some of my previous tractors I was regularly on 3 wheels (with the loader just barely off the ground). Maybe that would be a good picture thread?

 

Obi Wan Kuboti earning his keep

 

I took down porch railing and put wood rack in. Had a little help filling it up. 1 tote empty so far.

 

The Kubota loader model number is the rated capacity in kilograms (multiply by 2.2 for pounds).

 

I sold this for a relative this Fall, with 300 hours on it, and got nearly what they paid for it. I trucked it home, cleaned it up, and ran it a few hours so I could give an honest assessment. Someone gave a lowball offer, and then the next guy scooped it up.

 

Yep, done that a few times, even with the counterweight on...

 

Great helpers. I like the way the wood rack blends in with the porch. Nice job

 

Thanks. Ours is a 513, so...513x2.2=1128

That loader on the tractor you sold is nice...

 

Selling it for what you paid for it here is pretty easy..

replacing it is far more challenging without

 

Yes, very glad to be selling rather than buying.
He won’t be needing the tractor where he went.

The dealer called her several times to try to make a deal so they would have something they could sell. They were in the 22 to 25 range, the CL instant lowball was 23, and we got 28 for it.

 

Thank you for the advice. I'll look into Kioti too.

 

Hey Jeff, just a question on your food plot work. Just order you mowed, disc’d then box bladed?

I need to prepare a 5 acre area where I plan on seeding about four as mixed pasture and 1 pretty much as a lawn. Was going to disc, then run over with a chain harrow a few times. Hoping to get a similar effect.

 

Mines an 854 it was HD allowed xtra heights to fill single axle dump.. now if the genius that thought of that put on SSQR I would swear at him less

 

On the food plots, we mowed, disk harrow twice, 2nd time drop the heavy drag that is sitting on top of the harrow.
I looked back at the pictures I had posted, that is a 60" tiller behind the tractor, it does resemble a box blade, kinda. The drag on the harrow is scrap blades bolted together, about 9' long. You can also use a log to smooth it down too.

 

Is that the Quick Attach bracket?

 

Yes SSQA skid steer quick attach

Mauro correct likes QR better. I missed it
