Kubotas at play. Er, I mean work!

I wanna see! …. I wanna see!

 

I’ve been waiting a couple months for this to show up so I could post it here.
Not mine, belongs to the local county airport, but I’m the one who gets to run it

pretty sweet package! Tractor, loader, bucket, pallet forks, backhoe, rear blade, belly mount mower, broom and snowblower!
Glad I didn’t have to write the check

 

My Kubota gets put to work frequently! I do my logging and skidding, brush hogging, soil work, digging, driveway grading, and lots more at home and "on the side".

Without question my most used implement is are the quick attach front forks. Backhoe gets used the least but I would spend the extra $$ again for the convenience.

 

Nice. Stay cool or warm with that cab

 

Good job.

 

We got a call about a big pecan had fallen and was blocking community driveway. Kubota 3130 amd MS180 to the rescue. Trimmed off the brush and pushed it into a pile, loaded up the rest and drove back home.

 

Finally got the "Drainzit" flexible oil drain hose in so I could finally finish setting up the new Super Splitter. I didn't want to run all the way out to the wood pile so I hooked the splitter to the tractor and took it to where I had a few rounds kicking around. The Kubota bucket worked great to put the big rounds in, then lift to splitter table height and just roll them right on. Here I tried splitting into the bucket since I didn't have any great place to put the splits.

 

A friend dropped this by for me yesterday.

 

Chaz would like that also. I think it is neat.

 

Nice

 

We started on the oak blow down Tuesday. Got all the limbs back to the main stem cut and hauled. 2 trailer loads.
So glad we finally got that grapple, sure makes holding a log to trim it or loading the trailer safer...

 

I intended to grab a tractor with a backhoe from a dealer on Tue this past week. (it was not orange) Showed up and was informed that it had sold the day before!

And then the dealer proceeded to talk me out of a backhoe attachment. He is not the first one to ever do this either.

Over the last few years, I have been looking around for a tractor. Now that I have bought a larger spot, I can justify the need for a tractor even more so.

I hope that in my haste to get one, I don't make a decision that leads to some remorse.

 

Well yooperdave what color was it

 

It’s not the best time to purchase a tractor. You might be lucky enough to find a decent used tractor but you have to have the cash ready and pounce fast!

I think this is a good deal near me.

 

Green!

 

Yeah, at the end of the visit, I told him "You are steering me in another direction from what I wanted. I know it is what you have available, but....."

Nice and no pressure. I also told him it isn't every day you will meet a new person that saves you $32K right off the bat! (by not having what I wanted!)

 

Got a chance to put the 'bota and grapple to play again Thursday. We had the grapple company replace the cylinder, it kept leaking down.
Seems to work fine now.

 

Finally got to play with the airport’s new tractor today. I grew up in town and my tractor experience is very limited. Never run one with a loader bucket before. I have however, been running payloaders at a gravel pit for nearly 30 years. They work very differently. Skid steers too, different
