Let's see your Kubota

Very true, plus if no one is there to witness, you can make tell the story "better" when you tell how you got un stuck. Mine get "better" every time I tell them.

Always make the story better; never have a witness when you laugh at yourself. (says the woman who almost sunk into the slough)...:laughing:

My Kubota got to play in the snow today. Just made a nice path so we can leave the house.

I was totally awed by Piston's posts and the work he has done. I thought you all might get a laugh to see someone operating at the other end of the spectrum:

Last winter, I discovered I had about a half dozen lodgepole pines that were infected with beetles. In winter, the snow was too deep for me to cut them, so I waited until spring. Once I cut them, I limbed them and prepared the limbs for shredding, so they would not attract beetles. I then used a drawknife to skin the bark off the trees. This killed the beetles, so they could not spread to other trees.

I had a problem with black bears, and decided I needed a place to hide my trashcans. I decided to use the logs to build a small hut. I used my Stihl 026 chainsaw (about 30 years old, runs well, but a bit small) and an Alaska chainsaw attachment to cut two parallel faces on the skinned logs.

I used the faced logs to build a primitive log hut. The construction technique is similar to that used locally during the late 1800エs and early 1900's. True log cabin builders will readily curl their lips, as the techniques used were fast, simple, and less than elegant.

My house was built in 1948. It was sheathed with local pine boards. When we bought the house and remodeled in 2008, I saved the boards. I used some of them to line the inside of the hut.

Come spring, I have to chink the logs. It's too cold now to do cement work. I also need to add door hardware. The whole effort was fun, but a lot of work.

Love it... I want to do something like this.. Just need to find some spare time. Looks like a lot of fun though!

This photo could also be titled how not to backfill a trench. Got an old l3600 with a fel and a bh. So far she's cut the beginning of a road for the new house and dug 780' of 3' trench for electric.... She's old and shows it but compared to the john Deere 1530 I was using before she's a dream. Actually starts in the winter when there is snow on the ground. :)

Looks pretty capable to me.

Aaron, I would have thought about leaving that last picture off. Heck, I wouldn't have even taken the picture. But you have a good looking tractor.
