    Yeah, got a bush hog 72", pallet forks, snowblower (used) and a chain harrow. Oh and just picked up a used grapple!

    Thanks!

    If we're honest with ourselves,
    It IS all about the "toyls"! :thumbs:
    Congratulations :yes:

    image.jpeg image.jpeg Nice way to spend a vacation day cutting spruce saw logs for the bandsaw mill I bought this fall. Lumber will be used to build a barn for the wife's horses next summer.

    Good looking logs right there. Any plans for the lumber?

    that’s how to get a wife’s buy-in for purchasing “toys”. Build her something.

    what mill did you get? When do you expect to get it?

    Kubota is good but where are the green, red and blue ones supposed to be shown?

    I got a woodlands mill, I ordered it in May, and got it the end of September. I believe most all the mill manufacturers are a 6+ month wait. Once I got it, I wish I had it 10 years ago when I first purchased the property.

    Well got my Kubota refilled with Hydraulic fluid, finally. The hard pipe for the suction side is a pain, its just a bit too long. So you have to undo the front side to get the suction screen bolt mostly in, then get the front one started. Now hopefully Sunday I'll get the front diff and the front balls done and maybe the coolant done. Then she'll be ready to play.

    I really don't think that there would be any objection here.
    Just be sure not to use the manufacturer's name and/or any model number(s) and only refer to it by it's color.:rofl: :lol:
    If it happens to be a green tractor, see skeeter. He decided not to play with us and started his own private thread and may let you in.:D

    Of course I'm joking.
    I'd welcome you but I'm not the OP. It's so old I've forgotten who stared it but I'm sure it's no problem.

    Well just got the front end done… the front diff was in major need of it. Brown thick sludge came out. The balls weren’t that bad, a little blackish…. I’ll probably redo it again in the spring or summer… get some more wash out done and see how things look. Just need to figure out how to drain the coolant, then it should all be completed…. Can’t wait to start playing…

    I do not have a tractor...........yet.

    One of the jobs I have for it will be driving into the lake and moving/grabbing rocks to replace along the shoreline. I'm thinking about all of this water in places where it shouldn't be.......maybe I'll use a rental for that job!

    Not at work currently but not sure how I survived without a tractor / loader all those years. This is my second Kubota and 4th tractor. I had a kioti and deere first. It took 4 to land on the perfect size for my needs. I hope to be buried on it when I'm to old to climb up. Lol.

    Snow pusher I made from a new medium duty 7' back blade. Works well but I think I'm going to make it a foot taller.

    I removed the floor of the operator station and had it linexed. That stuff is excellent.

    After this pic I finally cleaned her a spot inside. This is the first time the winch has been on this tractor, and the PTO shaft is too short. Easy enough to rectify but no instant gratification.
