I'll bet you felt pretty good that day:thumbsup: helping out the Church, probably had a few people watching you dig, stopping up to the pump to fill up.
How long of a ride was it from home to the Church?

In rabbit speed, it was about 25 minutes. When you are in rabbit speed, and people are blowing by ya, it feels like turtle speed.

Your Kubota was truly, a "holy roller" that day!:drink:

I "roaded" the Kioti over to the church 2 weeks ago to work on the playground, and had the wife follow behind me in the car with the flashers going. It was about 2.5 miles each way. It was the first time I have really run the Kioti in high gear for an extended period. She said we averaged about 11 miles an hour. I can tell you that it was the fastest the ole Kioti had ever been.:laughing:

- 2009 Kubota RTV 900, 2009 Kubota B26 TLB & 2010 model LS P7010
These little CUT's sure don't run fast in road gear, for sure. I think my B26 might make 12 mph tops. It makes my RTV 900 look like a speed demon. Now my LS P7010 really hauls butt @ 25+ MPH and running thru the top 4 gears like a big truck to get it up to speed. It is as fast as one would want to go on a semi-smooth back country road. It sure stops fast though when you slam on the brakes, the 4 wheel drive engages and it stops like running into a wall.

It's fun to take it out on the road also a little worrisome at the time.
I debated having a car follow me, thinking it would be harder for traffic to pass both the car and tractor.
I thought It would be better off having the traffic pass only me. I could hug the side of the road better and pull off into driveways easier without having someone else to worry about. I had my flashers and all four work lights on.
Even a State Trooper friend of mine said have a car follow you. I explained to him what I wrote above, he didn't say much. I took it as what I said made some sense.
It can't be any worse then coming up upon two people on bicycles side by side.
Not sure at all which way is better, I just figured to go it alone would be easier on me. How did it work out for you having a follower?

I worked well, I pulled over twice, once going and once coming. I would just keep track and when she had 2 or 3 cars stacked up I would pull over into a big circle drive and she did too, so we let them go by. Back on the road real quick and go again. I debated it also about having her follow me, but I felt they might see the red minivan going slow and have sense enough to step on the brakes. Sometimes people just run into the back of tractors. Yes orange tractor with SMV sign and all flashers going too. So I decided the chase vehicle was the safest way to go.. We only went about 2.5 miles or so each way, so it really did not take long, once I got pulled up out of our creek bottom and steep hill area. Once I got out on the ridge road I could put it in HI and "fly". That was the fastest I have ever run that tractor for sure, but it did fine.
