After I got the transmission in I had to move the truck over so I could work on a floor pan. No driveshaft and no pedals (would be in way of floor pan repair) so the ol' B came thru again.

I've followed your guys' thread for awhile, and I think I'm ready to join the club! My brand new Kubota B2650 with cab just came in today! Yeah I know, I should have bought an L series, but I only have 5 acres and the B is going to be just fine for me! I've been blowing snow for years with an old JD and no cab and I'm sick of freezing my ass off in the ND winters!!
I can't pick it up for about a month yet because I'm having some add-on's installed, but once I get it, I'll post Picts!! Add on's include quick detach skid steer type bucket, brand new blower, new pallet forks, and I added a few hydraulic ports that need to be installed. Excited to finally join your guys thread! |

I have a BX23 I bought used about three years ago. Great little tractor, but recently I've been wishing I had one size bigger. B series is what I'd like. I still want to run a mid-mount mower and have the FEL and backhoe. Been watching Craigslist for used deals (that's where I got my BX), but the B series seem to be pretty rare in comparison. Looking forward to the pics. |

It's been wet here lately, luckily it hasn't been bad enough to keep us from picking corn (not without leaving a few ruts in a spot or two
).
We could use a couple of dry weeks so we can get beans cut. |

Cleaned and scraped the goat pen, increased the driveway width about 5 feet. That's what my wife did this weekend. Tomorrow 10 yards of 3/4 minus is being delivered, so I am sure she will be spreading that when i get home.

I was moving stuff around with the ol' B and noticed my wife raking the yard to fill those big pumpkin bags with leaves for Halloween. I had an idea so when I got done I latched on to my rake and dragged it out of the weeds, threw some grease at it, oil on the big flat chain and put it in gear and gave it a try. For an archaic four bar rake it didn't do half bad really.
So now she has a big windrow in the yard to scoop into her bags. Might be kind of wrong but I am hoping they blew around so I can rake them again... I love raking. 
My rake is just so weird I love it. It came with my place, only piece of International equipment I own. I don't know much about it but someone mentioned it is from the F-20 era... so 1930's maybe into the 40's. I raked hay with it the first year I got my place before we put it into rowcrop and it worked great. |

Reworked my backstop on Monday. Pushed it back about 30' and more than tripled the width. I need to dig up some more dirt to increase the height and make the wings a little longer. Will give me almost 180 deg of safe shooting

The 2018 Firewood Wars have started! Yesterday, I started bucking up one of my pile of trees I'll be processing this year for firewood. I have three piles in my firewood processing area plus two power company take-down trees down at the bottom of my hill.
Pics of the bucking using my tractor grapple and MS-362CM or MS-180 Stihl chainsaws. A blow-down from next to my driveway that came down a couple days ago. Anyone know what kind of tree this is? 
 Its broken trunk:  A medium sized Red Oak:  This pic shows one of the many advantages to using a tractor grapple to buck trees: The ability to buck while standing straight up with no bending. 
Most of the trees were this size. A couple small Black Walnuts and at least two Locusts. Here's one of the Locusts:  The results of yesterday's work. Note the pile of Red Oak the grapple is sitting on; that's the 2nd pile I need to work on. Note the big log in front of the tractor: I am not going to like moving that monster around! 
And while I was working, one of the local safety inspectors showed up to critique my work. I took three pics of it but it only showed up in one pic since the camera was focusing on the tractor in the near foreground vs. the "inspector" in the far back ground. Here's the best pic I have of her. You can see it's legs in the small patch of sunlight just to the right of the big pine on the left. Sharp eyes will see my Taj Mahal Mk III shooting house as well. 
Thanks for looking! |

Makes bucking so much easier when you're not bending over. Especially when using a larger saw. Also really helps limbing a tree out. |

A little bit of cleaning and reorganizing before winter. I'm hoping to get the old baja car into the shop this winter to rebuild a few parts. First I need to build the loft to make a bit more room in there. But at least with the forks it's easy to set the car in the storage shed until I'm ready for it.

My little new Holland TN60 sitting on the side with forks. My 1961 D6B up front. It's completely restored. I just rebuilt the electrical system in it over the summer. New generator and regulator. |
