Newbe adventures with B2320: Two days ago, went down to local dairy/compost dealer and picked up a load of compost with my B2320 pulling a used Big Tex A frame trailer with built up sides and back... first time I had the Kubota off the property and on a public road (some pavement, for the most part gravel, county maintained). Some things I learned:
1. Washboard gravel roads can be a bit bumpy when the only springs you have are under the seat <g!>.
2. Be sure the trailer tires have plenty of pressure before you pile 4 feet of compost in there. They were almost flat when I left with the compost. Luckily I made it back with out blowing a tire or loosing one off the rim.
3. When you crank down your A-Frame trailer jack, put something hard under it. Before I knew it, mine was extended into the earth beyond the travel of the internal screw jack, and I could not reverse the crank, so both tractor and trailer were pinned to the earth next to my garden bed... and the tractor which is usually garage kept had to spend the night out.
4. I wound up replacing the jack... it turns out they can be had at the local Walmart for $23 and change. Easy to swap out, just three bolts.
5. After this adventure, and detour, I shoveled the compost on to the garden. Hopefully this post will save another idiot from making these mistakes... <g!>...
