After living in the suburbs my entire life (and not liking it very much) I'm moving to the country for the first time ever. I have a lot of projects to tackle - some country/farm-related and some not. Some things I know how to do and others I don't so I'll be learning along the way.
One of my first major purchases to help with the property was a Kubota B2301 compact tractor, and many of my videos are tractor related. It is probably the best money I ever spent.

Trying Out Seat Covers for My Chevy Silverado - LUCKYMAN CLUB Silverado Seat Covers
A quick evaluation of seat covers for my 2018 Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck. These are the LUCKYMAN CLUB seat covers for 2007-2023 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500/2500/3500 HD Crew Double Regular Cab made of waterproof faux leather. I purchased the full set (front and rear seats) for my double cab truck. The fitment of the front seats met expectations. However, the rear seat fitment did not.
Because there is no access behind the seats, attachment of the covers for the rear seat backs is insufficient. In addition, the set is universal for both the Silverado/Sierra double cab and crew cab. I believe the crew cab has a larger rear seat, thus the covers are designed to fit that seat. The result is that they are slightly too large for the rear seats in the double cab. I cannot confirm if the fitment would be better in the crew cab as I don't have such a pickup truck to test them with.
After three weeks of evaluation, I returned the set to Amazon and purchased only the front pair, as the front seat fitment was acceptable. It turns out that I don't really need covers for the rear seats as I never have passengers in the rear except for my golden retriever, Eddie, and he sits on the floor with the rear seats in the up position all the time anyway.

Changing Oil in 3 Point Auger Gearbox (the hard way)

I bought a used 3-point auger / post hole digger to use with my Kubota B2301 tractor. Before using it extensively I decided to change the oil in the gearbox.

Well done review
Too much angle. Less is more.
I’ve been running one of these WEN splitters at my solar off grid cabin up state and so far it has been great. Very little it won’t split-I do wish it was a little faster though.
Lol I know it doesn’t give a qr or url that’s why I’m here on TH-cam watching your video 🤣
More angle on the blade. Spray some diesel on the blade and try to scour it or sand it. As you use blade it will work better.
You love a grease zirt added to pivot.
I like the way you think! Great idea, cheers!
Very informative review, thanks for posting!
Great video. Do a muffler mod.
I’ve used electric wood splitters for a few years now and I wouldn’t recommend standing,let alone putting a foot on a log, in the travel direction of the ram. I’ve had logs big and small get thrown in that direction like a cannon. It would easily smash a leg. Not to be toyed with. Be safe!
Did you happen to draw out the measurements and do a diagram of what you built?
I didn't create a blueprint as I basically designed it as I went along.
Love the Friday the 13th clip
Weight and speed is your friend. I have ballast in the rear tires. But also a take a big scoop of snow. Thats enough to pull the back blade pretty easy through most snow conditions.
If ya angle it all the way. Dont touch ya side adjustment. U can tilt ya toplink back to where it will even it out wanting to cut one side. Hope the hints help
U have to angle it all the way to one side or the other. Thats the only way i have found that actually works. Long as its asphalt ya can turn it backwards at a angle an it works great. I have differt tread patter that u do on my tires
Bed full of Molson!
Thanks for the information
Impressed that it split rounds way larger than to 10” manufacturers limit. I have several Pine rounds about 17”-18” diameter about the same length. Thought I would need to rent or buy a much larger splitter to deal with it but I will give this low cost one a go.
A few winters back my B2620 would not start while I was outback, it took me 2-days to realize I had moved the PTO level out of neutral getting off the tractor...two days of walking various tools outback for a Duh! moment.
That's one of those mistakes you make only once.
Your video is awesome! Are you interested in getting sponsor from Lasfit?How can we contact you?
I worked at a Kubota dealership and at 50 hours we changed ALL fluids. Your transmission oil would then be good for 400 hours or whatever you said but the first 50 hour service all fluids and filters get changed out, in case there is any metal shavings from manufacturing left over
I think that is very sound advice. I just did the same with my new Polaris Ranger even though most people think I’m crazy. I like knowing that I have the right amount of the proper clean fluid in my machine and it gives you a chance to check for particulates as you suggested.
Great job, my brother - I have the 8 hp version and can't thank you enough for putting together this video! You saved me time and money
Glad I could help.
This video is so Canadian!!
The two handed operation is a bunch of crap as well as turning the motor on and off constantly. The motor should run all the time and the lever should control the ram running back and forth. Other than that the seem to be a great little splitter!
Thank you for a concise, yet entertaining video!
Do you still have it amd use it ?
I still have and and use it regularly to split about a cord of wood per year.
You are feeding it to fast
Loved the vid, and i loved more with the mistakes you made, and you included them in the vid to,, definitely the best iv seen as you dont hide your mistakes, and on top of that you showed how to repair something with veru hard to get parts to , iv subbed due to this bid, all the best paul
My Kohler kt735 after replacing carburator, it loses power in tall grass now and before it never did. Everything is sealed as per carb gaskets. It will start and run with no issues, even when engaging PTO it seems to lose power then it picks up after a few seconds.
I need help
For years I ran a series of 48" bush hogs behind a 17hp Bolens G174. It had three PTO gears and the 720 range seemed the most likely for mowing. It certainly worked well on the Woods finish mower which came with it. So I spun the bush hogs at 720 and got pretty good results. When I bought a more powerful Kubota with 540 pto, the quality of the cut diminished drastically.
Ty , I am going to copy your design for my pd15, I also have a b2301
Thanks! There is a $21 top hook on Amazon.
I am also 5’ 16” tall!
Would be great to have some idea of dimensions and size of lumber 1:25
Great job on bringing that old girl back to life. I just got one at a garage sale for 20 bucks. It runs great but the chipper blades are done. In my area we have ethanol free fuel at the gas station. I always use it in my small engines and it doesn't eat up the fuel systems.
Take some really long screws and put it into the 4 corners of the board then push it into the snow, problem solved
The problem i encountered after purchasing the quick hitch, new top hook, and bushing's is it's only Category 0 compliant. I found the 5/8 lifting pins to be undersized and extremely lose fitting on my 3 point lift arms. The 5/8 lifting pins are only rated for Category O and tractor's up to 20 horsepower. I found the undersized pins to be the deal breaker. I don't know why they designed the hitch with such small pins - very disappointed.
I just bought a Stihl post hole digger, you have to wrestle it a bit but saves messing around with the installation of this tractor auger. I quite enjoy using it. If you are only doing one big job, fencing for example, I would rent one of those hydraulic post hole diggers from Homedepot if I didn't have the Stihl. I don't rate augers on the back of tractors at all and front augers are seriously expensive - around $2500 from what I saw this week at the Kubota dealer.
My mower will not spin, is there a lock?
I assume you are talking about the blades not spinning when you engage the PTO. Check the drive belt. If it is an electric PTO, it won't engage if there isn't a load on the system and could indicate a broken blade drive belt.
Had this installed on new 2024 by the dealer. Works great. Then I noticed this "odd" part laying on the second row floor. Your video confirmed it's the original hinge.
do you know if it is the same part number?
Thank you. Enjoyable comments on futility of being organized all the time! The duck would like to meet my workspace menace, the goat! I appreciate this direct approach to getting the job done. I have the same product and will be attempting the same repairs. Good guidance here.
Theres a weep hole in the front of it to fix the flow issue your having unscrew it a little 😊
Great idea, solved my problem!
You rock!👍
Just Another ! Running ! Commentary ! Show !
How did the wd40 coating work for you keeping the underside of the mower deck free from grass sticking?
There's definitely less buildup than normal, and what does stick comes off with barely any effort.
Thank you!! My kubota zt740 would start hard, run rough etc.. after screwing with it for weeks and changing fuel lines, pump, filter, air filter, plugs etc.. this finally worked! I feel like an idiot but thank you sooo much!!
Excellent videos. I have an old pickup. Just with a 4 pin connector. It gave me an way to upgrade the trailer lights.
