I didn't realize naming a tractor was a "thing".

A lot of old timers would call them according to the model numbers like " The 756 " but when you end up with multiple tractors with the same model number they started naming them, as a teenager I worked at a couple large farms and they named most of there equipment, I guess I just didn't realize it was not a " thing " for others

I named my tractor "The Kubota". It's pretty creative, I thought of it myself.

I have nick names for everyone.
I went zen on the tractor.
Let me introduce you to my little friend, “Ko Buddha”.

You guys must be the reason people name their Jeeps.

what's that white rhino?

Ha! I never named it that. The name came from T-way and I never referred to my Jeep by that name. But......... I used it for a screen name.

You have NEVER heard me say something like "I'm gonna go get White Rhino". Instead you heard me say "I'm gonna go get my Jeep".

Ok...

So I found a legitimate design flaw with the bota.

There is zero protection for the tierod and drag link; they at least are above the bottom of the axle; however they are right directly infront of the axle; so if you come up to anything solid, the tire rod hits first and you'll never know it. Then "BOOM" bent TF tire rod and a tractor that steers both directions at once until you get a new tie rod.

The parts aren't expensive, $125 for the whole tie rod assembly; still. Shitty design.

By that logic, every straight axle 4WD with the tie rod in front of the axle is a shitty design.

Don't run into stuff you're not supposed to with your Kubota.

Listen here...if I want to bitch about design issues instead of admitting my shitty driving. You move along 🤣

That is a shitty design compared to my LX. Mine has a double ended ram on the top front of the axle with short TREs going to the knuckles and small guards in front of all of it. It's high up, it's compact, and it's tight to the axle and frame.

Yep, I believe the MX series/Grand L series have a similar design. Much better IMO

you know what is more fun than a compact tractor

two compact tractors

My little bx is the same way but minus the guards

While it is a shitty design, I cannot ignore the hole int the grill too, might be a little driver error 🤣

This weekend the Girl got a chance to play on Papa's tractor, she said " It was fun for the first 20 minutes then it was just WORK DAD "

Spent the Sunday clearing out overgrown yew's from a fence line next to the garage. The stump bucket was great for loosening them up so we could pull them out. Need to smooth out the area and maybe add some dirt to level it. My wife wants to split some hostas and move them there.

Time for bib overalls and a straw hat.

Sounds like a productive day! Clearing out the overgrown yew's and making room for the hostas is a great plan. Adding some dirt and leveling the area will definitely enhance the Security space. Gardening projects can be so rewarding!
