Congrats ! Beutiful machine and nice job on the brush clearing. how do you like the Kubota so far ? Pluses and minus ? It sure looks great !

That looks like rattlesnake heaven in those rows of brush....what are the two attachments you are using ? It's hard to tell from the pictures.

Ah...the stealth Kubota. :D

Who makes the mesquite grabber I see there? Looks different than the root-n-all.

The grubber I borrowed from a friend, he made it himself. I'm going to build one with lots of modifications to his design. I built the rake myself.
So far I really like the Kubota, one thing I really like is it was a CTL built machine, not a wheeled machine swapped for tracks. I think that has a lot of performance gain. I haven't had an issue at all with it. I debadged my machine cause II am getting a custom graphic made for our business put on it. I have to wax it soon too.

Cool attachments Man, I really like them allot and will steal that idea in part to build a few for myself. I like the stealth look...I have a suggestion for you to consider. Do not wax the machine prior to applying the graphics. Clean the area real well with alcohol, then apply your graphics, then wax the machine and graphics. They will stick better and adhere much longer without the wax under them....I use soapy water to apply our custom graphics. Spray the area on the machine where you are going to apply your logo's etc with the soapy water from a spray bottle so you can move the graphics around while you are applying them, once they are where you want them, remove water from under the decal by working from the center towards the edges with a body putty paddle or similar soft plastic type tool that will not scratch up the decalsThey look better , no air bubbles and adhere extremely well and will last quite awhile. Let them dry out completely for a few days then apply your favorite wax or sealant....thanks for the extra pictures of the attachments too. Very cool of you to do for all of us here...

Yeah after seeing the machine a bit with no graphics on them I really like the look lol. I'm only putting new graphics on the dark gray area behind the tracks. Nothing on the arms. I just need to wax the orange, it's fading a bit. Yeah I won't put the wax where I put the new decal. Thanks for those tips on putting it on but I'll have to say, nothing new to me lol. My uncle and grandfather own big sign companies in CA that do all the graphics for the Superbowl, wrap airplanes, drag cars, stuff for Grammys, Warner brothers, universal studios etc lol. So I'm familiar in that. And getting free graphics for tractor and our trucks lol.

I will say. That grubber I borrowed could use quite a big of improvements. The teeth are too wide so it wants to shear small stuff rather than grab, so it needs a dif design in that area. Have to use 1/4" for everything, except for any flat plate, that needs to be 3/8" or bigger. My friend used 3/16" 2.5" square tubing and bent it. So I cut the frame off and welded together a new 4" x 1/4" tubing in its place.
