I’m taking half a day off today.

Ima call it a “mental health” day..

72 degrees and sunny is a good reason to soak up some vitamin D

Good morning!

I finally bought a little tractor.
It is a Kubota 4610D. It is 46HP with Glide Shift.
Also got a John Deere 6' bush hog to go with it.
I can also get a nice heavy 7' box blade, but am concerned it may be too big for a 3200lb tractor.

What are your thoughts on the box blade width?
Should I look for a 6' instead?

For light work you might be ok with 7’. 6’ would be sized better for your tractor. I can’t run a 5’ here in the sand but in your heavy dirt you might get away with a 7’. I usually don’t have a power problem it’s traction. Does it have loaded tires?

I am not sure if the tires are filled or not.
I reckon I could get them filled if I needed to.

You’ll want them loaded..
And I’d want the 7’ blade.
6’ may not cover your tracks.

The tractor's "supposed" to be 63" wide.
72" is only about 4" extra on each side.

 

[plcnut]

Would I fill the front tires as well, or only the rears?

Only my rears are filled but I’ve needed the fronts for traction several times. Don’t put sodium. Go with methanol. And my tractor is about the same size and 6’ covers my tracks. But doesn’t leave much over hang on each side.

Methanol?
I thought they used some kind of glycol?
I won't use the sodium. That stuff eats everything!

The local guy uses that basically windshield washer fluid. You can use antifreeze. It’s just more expensive. The best is a product called rim guard. It’s beet juice. About as heavy as calcium but won’t rot your wheels. My guy said about 5 gals of methanol to a tire your rears size and the rest water. If you got a way to put it in you can do it your self. Save some money.

I have a mobile tire guy that can come do it for me.

I went ahead and bought the 7' blade.
He came down a little on the price, and it is much better quality than the $600-$800 new ones.

 

[Hedgerow]

Just the rears.
Use alcohol or beet juice.
I got alcohol in mine. 13 years and no rust.
I'd still go with the 7' blade. What would you be using it for?

 

[Hedgerow]

OK.. I type slow I guess..

Hi all! I fixed a back pack blower
And a echo 500 evl this last week
Chipping away at projects that have been sitting a long time

Tore the MS311 apart looking for the vacuum leak.

So far, nada. [emoji90]
