Kubotas at play. Er, I mean work!

Can't remember if you turn them into firewood or have them milled for lumber??

 

We were taking the pine logs to the local chip mill, that deal turned sour because of another tree service dumping short wood...look on the "pines, pines galore" thread.
Good Lord provided another outlet. 2 brothers run a small mill building pallets, they have gotten 1 load so far, pay us a little bit.

 

Miz Carol started getting a bit of seat time on the L4802.

 

Long weekends mean extra wood fun

 

Nice work, brother

 

Decided to let the L4802 and new brush cutter have fun doing tractor things...
Started reclaiming some of our food plots, before the gum trees get to big again...
And the lights made night work easy last week...

 

Yep, it was pretty dusty. The small hand held blower cleaned it up nicely

 

They seem to ride better, haven't been in a muddy situation yet or pull the harrow

 

Spent sometime in the mini ex this weekend during the rain. We’ve got close to 2” of rain in the last 4 days, at least it was nice yesterday.
Working on stumping and picking up debris on the last acre of the field. It was tall thin pine trees that grew to 4”-8” dia and then died and fell over. Wife called it the toothpick area as we walked by. When the loggers were here they took the big trees and whatever they could drag to the chipper. Everything else got driven over. It’s a mess of an area to clean up, might be able to get a tractor on it in July if it dries out. The poplar sprouts are pushing 15’ tall in 3.5 yrs, and they really need to go.
Decent sized pine stump.

When I called it quits for the day.

 

Cleaned up good. It takes some time,but you're doing a fine job

 

Thanks! It’s a sloppy wet muddy mess right now, but that will change. I’d like to be finishing my new irrigation pond, but it’s way to wet to have the mini ex near the pond banks. It’s also been the coldest May in ME for almost a 100 yrs, and way more rain than normal as well.

 

We will stop sending it too you when “they” stop sending it to us!!

 

Can't blame me this time!!!

 

If you run it easy it will be shorter times between regens. Keep the RPMs up and let'er eat.

 

Pretty much this.

Idling for long times doesn’t help. Also starting and running for short periods of time also makes it want to regen more often. Usually the mini ex regens every 40-50 hrs.

My JD tractor will regen in 20 hrs if I’m just doing wood chipping or light loader work. Pulling a disc, or skidding wood you can watch the filter level go down over the day. They like to be worked hard. It’s gone 40 hrs between regens a few times.

 

I think ours has regened twice already, almost 70 hrs on it. It just needs to build some heat to burn off. Just rev it up a bit more.
