This channel features videos primarily about me using my small 18HP Kubota sub-compact tractor around my 9 acre homestead. This includes the work the small tractor helps me with around the property. I also use my TH-cam channel to help document the modifications, maintenance and repairs I am able to perform on the little Kubota. Occasionally, I will show a product that I use to make the work a little easier.

Hello! New subscribers from Northern Ontario. Came on over from Tucker and I's shoutout. Look forward to watching your videos! ✌️🇨🇦🇺🇲
Thanks for subbing! I've returned the favor this morning. It looks like you have a lot of good content on your channel. I will be sure to check it out soon. Thanks for watching and commenting. Enjoy the journey - cheers
This hen was only 3 feet outside my window.
We now have 1000's of turkeys again in Ontario as we traded some Moose for them a few years back and they took off I hope the Moose made it too.
Holly and I are actually eating turkey as we watch your turkey Bob.
fine looking healthy turkey.
Got mine from GoodWorks, it’s been nice.
It's a very good attachment, IMO. Thanks for watching and commenting. Enjoy the Journey - Cheers
Chào bạn ,những chiếc xe ô tô cũ và hư hỏng đã được bạn tu sửa lại ,giúp cho mọi người lái xe an toàn ,cảm ơn bạn đã làm công việc cao cả này để mọi người yên tâm khi lái xem chúc bạn ngày nghỉ cuối tuần an lành ❤.
Looks awesome, nice stack
Thank you kindly
Lookin good Bob! Interesting you need an inspection each year? Nothing like that here. Maybe a bit of a cash grab? But I guess it also keeps junkers off the road. Those are going to be nice and smooooooth. Cheers, Mike.
Good day Mike. When I was 16 and got my first car the state safety inspections were performed every 6 months. There was a push recently to eliminate the safety inspection but I think it fell through the cracks at the State House. LOL In addition to the safety inspection, people who live in more densely populated counties of the state require an annual emissions test. It cost me $100 to drive get my state inspections and stickers. They hook the scan tool up to the car for the emissions test. Check all the lights, tires, brakes, wipers and exhaust. They also check for holes in the body and floor pans. Yes, basically it is designed to keep the roads clear of rolling rust buckets. Thanks for watching and commenting. Enjoy the Journey - Cheers
Well done Bob. You took care of that job like a pro. I like how you work. Enjoy your weekend.
TY Larry. It's not as easy to do the job after 45 years. I sure wish I had a lift to get the car up a little higher for me. But, I work with what I have and take my time to see the job through. I hope you all are doing well. The temps are climbing for sure. Thanks for watching and commenting. Enjoy the Journey - Cheers
👷🏻♂️Good job replacing the brakes and rotors! You now have confidence in your vehicle’s braking system and that’s important!
The new brakes are working great. The best thing is they are quiet. I can't stand squeaky brakes. Thanks for watching and commenting. Enjoy the Journey - Cheers
Hi Bota Bob! Mrs. Betty has a KIA. She loves it. I drive the FREE F-150….lol
My KIA is nice. But the favorite car I ever owned was my 1999 Mercury Sable. I bought it used with 60,000 miles and drove it until 199,000 miles. The transmission was acting funny and I did not want to break down on the highway. I replaced it with this fine KIA back in 2013. So, I've had this car for 11 years now. Thanks for watching and commenting. Enjoy the Journey - Cheers
Good morning Bob
Good morning Gary. I hope you all are doing well this fine Memorial Day weekend. All gave some, some gave all. Thanks for watching and commenting. Enjoy the Journey - Cheers
Great to have all those mechanic skills and still be able to use them. I just buy a new vehicle when it wears out.
I grew up swinging hammers and turning wrenches. A new vehicle would be nice. Some of the problems with TH-cam is people bad mouth different manufacturers. It's a shame we can't sort the chaff from the grain. Thanks for watching and commenting. Enjoy the Journey - Cheers
Too funny Bob, I just recorded me doing the front bakes on our mini van a couple of days ago. I plan on making an episode with it as well.........Your brakes and underneath of the car is very clean compared to our 2010 van and any vehicle here on the northern coast..........You wasted $$$$$ changing those rotors for sure. I will say that most mechanics will tell you that you should never open the brake resovoir only to top up if needed.........unless you break a line it will never need to be opened........there is enough fluid in there to compensate for brake wear and no need to open pushing back the caliper piston........the main reason for not opening the resivoir is that brake fluid absorbs moisture from the air...........and that is one of the key characteristics of brake fluid that gives it it's high boiling point......on older vehicles the fluid will tend to get dark from use over time...........a change of fluid for a 10, 15 or 20yr old vehicle may not be a bad idea...........for your fairly new car there you would be wasting time, money and risking on having some trouble with it..............if it's not broke.......don't fix it Bob.............my two cents worth. Great job on the brake replacement!
I know the feeling about making a video about the same topic. Last year that happened to me regularly. LOL Let's face it, we are all doing the same things. However, we can learn from watching others, well at least I can. I would always cut my grass from the outside in blowing my clippings to the middle. Well, I watched one TH-camr who would cut starting in the middle and then blowing the clippings out. It works a lot better when grass is thick. my car is 12 years old now. LOL I think it looks pretty good for the age. That was the first set of pads at 183K miles. When you get a nice day, turn on your camera and do that brake job. I will watch it. Thanks for watching and commenting. Enjoy the Journey - Cheers
Good morning Bob, you have saved yourself a fair amount of money 👍 I enjoyed the video, have a great weekend, Ben 👋😎👍🍻
Great job Bob. I’ve never heard of anybody changing brake fluid before. Have a great Friday Bob. 👍🏻👍🏻👋👋
Brake fluid is a hydrophilic liquid. It absorbs water and it is said to be detrimental to the braking system. I should have done this at the 100K mile mark, but I didn't. So, I will try and get that done soon. Thanks for watching and commenting. Enjoy the Journey - Cheers
Great job, it is not too bad a job to do. Some great advice and tips, thanks
Good day Joseph. It was a lot easier when I was 16. LOL Servicing the rear brakes was a lot more challenging. There is a control are that must be removed to get to the carrier and caliper bolts. And working on my hands and knees was a bit of a challenge. Thanks for watching and commenting. Enjoy the Journey - Cheers
Looks good Bob. Nice job.
Thanks Brian. I appreciate your support. Thanks for watching and commenting. Enjoy the Journey - Cheers
Nice car, Bob. New brakes and rotors are so nice to have. I am looking forward to the brake fluid change.
Kenny, I haven't done the brake fluid yet. Ever since it warmed up, I've been cutting grass and watching it rain. LOL Thanks for watching and commenting. Enjoy the Journey - Cheers
@@botabob same here Bob, relentless.
Good evening Bob. We don't have any type of vehicle inspection sticker or expiry dates in my area. Your brakes look pretty good and very clean. Doesn't look like you drive on any dirt / gravel roads. Some of the things I do when servicing my vehicles brakes (Spring and Fall) is clean all parts thoroughly. Replace any worn-out part. Apply Never Seez / Anti-seize to the surface of the hub of the rotor / disc that makes contact with other metals. Clean the new rotor / disc with brake cleaner. Lubricate the caliper guide pins / sliders. Lighty sand brake pads. Apply light amount of grease on rear of pads, clips and caliper where back of pads make conta, etc. I am on dirt roads a lot and our winters have a lot of salt on the roads so I service my brakes twice a year. Have a good one!
I did grease the caliper guide pins and I cleaned the new rotors front and back with brake cleaner. That was done off camera. I also lubricated the sliders (around the 6:30 mark). I used a wire brush on a lot of the parts again off camera. Salt is used to treat our roads also. They also spray a liquid on the roads to per-treat them under certain conditions. I try to get my car's under carriage washed once a week during the winter. I like the idea of grease on the backing plate. The front brakes were not as bad as the rear brakes. The rear brakes were starting to hit the clip that grinds. I ordered the parts last fall and finally got around to putting them on the car. I'm glade that job is done. Thank you for sharing your tips. Thanks for watching and commenting. Enjoy the Journey - Cheers
Well done Bob, Bosch make good quality parts 👍🏻. Have a great evening 👍🏻🙋🏼♂️🙂
That's good to here Luc. Paul Short gave his stamp of approval also. I can tell you the braking power is outstanding and there is no noise from the new brakes. Thanks for watching and commenting. Enjoy the Journey - Cheers
I’ll enjoy watching anything you put out Bob. Thanks for sharing and hope you had a blessed day my friend.
Thank you Tony - This weekend will kick off the beginning of summer. Time has been flying. Thanks for watching and commenting. Enjoy the Journey - Cheers
Hello Bob, had to resubscribe again, 👍🏼🇺🇸
Thank you for resubscribing Robin and Larry. Support like yours is a blessing. Enjoy the Journey - Cheers

Another awesome shout out Bob! I think the tool box is a great idea. Have a great weekend! Cheers, Mike.
Thanks Mike. I put Goldwing Moments on the toolbox when he drew my name during a channel give away. I think he needs a little company. Thanks for watching and commenting. Enjoy the Journey - Cheers
Hi Mr. Bota Bob. Sorry it’s been a while. Summer is here. Great shout out to Bfoutdooradventures. Good to see a video again. Don’t forget the poison ivy vines. You take care my friend.
I've been thinking about the vine video. And I have some good ones I have been watching and itching. LOL I understand about watching videos. I try to keep my videos under 10 minutes so people can stop by and view. Thanks for stopping by and checking out this weeks video. I think I missed a week. Enjoy the journey - cheers
Good stuff Bob. Yes, they loaned it out to Jeremiah and Amanda. Nice humans.
Thanks for helping out with the names Kenny. I have trouble with names. As a matter of fact, I try to answer every comment with the name of the commenter. I'm starting to learn the names of the different channels. Shhhh, don't tell anyone, but I have a little cheat sheet to help me with the names. LOL It helps and I am recalling more names from memory. I thought it was a very nice gesture to loan their Axis vertical splitter. If I lived closer, I would seriously consider purchasing the Eastonmade. Thanks for watching and commenting. Enjoy the Journey - Cheers
@@botabob I have a sheet too. Next to my laptop. I'm pretty good with names but sometimes it just leaves me.
Excellent shout-out Bob! Your sticker is pretty cool so I can see why the kids put them on their motorbikes. Have a good one!
Thank you Paul. Send me an email so I can send you a couple. Thanks for watching and commenting. Enjoy the Journey - Cheers
Another great mail call Bob. Looks like the stickers are coming in quickly and it time to plan for another location. Might be a good idea to make a sticker board, the shape of your Kubota. That could also be a video. Have fun my friend.
Interesting idea Larry. Thanks for the suggestion. Thanks for watching and commenting. Enjoy the Journey - Cheers
😇👌👍Good Evening Sir, perhaps a 4x8 plywood 🤔🤔😉👍CHeers 🍻🍻
Not a bad idea my friend. I will keep that in mind. Thanks for watching and commenting. Enjoy the Journey - Cheers
@@botabob That what I'm planning Since my Cupboard kitchen cabinet is Ultra Full Sir 😇👍👌

Try putting stickers down on the web of the beam of the splitter Bob. You are really gathering up the stickers from other channels that's great. Great shoutout fof that channel for sure....will have to check them out.
Thanks Bryan. That's likely where the next group of stickers will go. Unfortunately, the opposite side of the oil tank has a lot of hose connections and adapters. Yes, it's been a little overwhelming getting all of the stickers from the amazing TH-cam community. Thanks for watching and commenting. Enjoy the Journey - Cheers
“Buy another wood splitter” 😂😂. Have a great weekend Bob 👍🏻🙋🏼♂️🙂
You might be right Luc. We will see what happens. Unfortunately, I need to put in some over time this week. Thanks for watching and commenting. Enjoy the Journey - Cheers
Good afternoon Bob and that was a nice shout out. Take care my friend and catch you soon.
Hey Tony, I hope you are all doing well. It's been very hectic here in Central PA. I appreciate your support watching and commenting. Enjoy the Journey - Cheers

They are a great funnel, seen one on another channel also. Nice maintenance job Bob.
Yes they are! Next time I am going to use a longer punch and a heavier hammer. Thanks for watching and commenting. Enjoy the journey - cheers
That sounds good in theory to pop a hole in the filters but as I can see it didn't save much or any mess.............LOL. As a H.D. mechanic Bob I hope you can appreciate me bing full of comments here about your oil change. Your holes in the filter would have worked better if they were at the outer edge of the filter end.........there still would have been spilage of course, so this was not needed at all, in my opinion. I see you fell victim to dealership marketing and paid extra for the brand oil and that aditive is just a complete waste of $$$$. Kubota's are among the best engines ever built.......I have spent some years in rentals where we had lots of light towers and gensets. Many of these were powered by Kubota engines similar if not the same as what's in your tractor........and larger 4cyl and 6cyl as well. These engines never ever got brand name oil and definately not any additives nor did they get regular on time service intervals. You can mark your clock at about 20,000hrs for these engine before you have to touch them for anything. As we say in the industry they are bullit proof. Your tractor would probably need at least two more Bob's after you are gone to get those hours on them. Oils: with only a couple of oil refineries making oils and hundreds of brands that have to meet benchmark paramiters for quality...........if you shop by brand your are wasting $$$$$$$$$. In summary, it is pure preference on how messy you are doing the oil change..........a mess is enevitable so it's a balance of a little mess or slighty larger mess. Oil is oil slippery and wet........only worry about the grade and diesel vs gas engine oil because there are differences.........save yourself some $$$$$$$$ and buy what's on sale at your local discount store and leave those $$$$$$ grabbing aditives on the shelf for the next fool. True story as I am writing this Bob! I was at my local Can Tire store here gettins some oil for one of my small gas Briggs and Stration engines yesterday. I am looking for SAE 30, that's just straight 30 weight oil. I find it on the shelf and there are two rows of it but only one row of everything else. The young fellow stocking shelves near me comes by and ask what I am looking for and I tell him, just 30 weight oil. He then reaches in amongst the rows and pulls out a similar jug with 10W 30 on it and says it's all the same 10W30 and SAE 30............well........I then had to educate this young man in as gentle as I could about oil...........after that he thanked me for the oil lesson and seperated the different oils into their own single rows............one row for 10W 30 and the other SAE 30. Sorry for the rant Bob........I really like that bendable green funnel thing.......that's a great idea.........Cheers!!
The green bendable thing is called a Form-a-funnel. Of course, you can purchase an number of knock-off brands now. Thanks for the rant. I never look a the price. I just buy what is on the owners manual. Also, I don't mind buying the Kubota brand. I buy my oil locally to support my local Kubota dealer. It gives me an opportunity to talk with the sales staff and they help me a lot with getting my parts. I tried to punch the can close to the edge, but the punch kept slipping. This was the first time I tried to do this trick. Next time I will use a longer punch and heavier hammer and try to get closer to the edge. Feel free to give your opinion here Bryan. You have a lot of experience and knowledge to share. Thanks for watching and commenting. Enjoy the Journey - Cheers
@@botabob Looking back, it was a rant for sure. I definately agree with supporting your local dealer if they don't rob you too much for the same oil that Walmart sells.......LOL. I am due for a rant on ev vs gas for lawn and garden equipment......LOL. I will do this on camera for everyone to hear .......LOL Have a good one Bob........O degres here today I guess that 32 for you.....only going to 3 or 4 today.....hard to get shit done....LOL
You are good with me Brian. I hope I did not offend you in any way. I truly value your opinion and look forward to your feedback. Cheers
LIKE 21 for you my FRIEND! This reminds me that FREEBIE needs an Oil Change! It did work and helped to stop a mess! Good idea to write the date on the new filter Bob! Until next time play safe⚠️👷🏻♂️🚜
The first time I wrote the date on my filter was the previous oil change. I also started writing the date on the hydraulic oil filter on my log splitter. It's a quick reminder of when the last service was performed. Thanks for watching and commenting. Enjoy the Journey - Cheers
Neat little trick Bob. Thanks for sharing! -Tod
Tod, thank you for watching and commenting. It is my goal to share new ideas to make things better on the homestead. Thanks for watching and commenting. Enjoy the Journey - Cheers
Nice way to change the oil filter
It's a good idea Larry, but I need a bigger punch and heavier hammer. The filter can a lot stronger then I imagined. Thanks for watching and commenting. Enjoy the Journey - Cheers
Good process! Nice to keep the mess to a minimum for sure Bob. Thanks for your secrets. Cheers, Mike.
I agree Mike. I am the worst when it comes to oil changes. No matter how hard I try, oil will end up where it should not be. LOL - I saw this on a car care video and thought I should try it on the little BX. I learned I need a longer punch and heavier hammer. I will try this again next spring. Thanks for watching and commenting. Enjoy the Journey - Cheers
I have never tried punching holes in the filter before. Great job on the oil change
It's a first for me also Joseph. I got the idea from TH-cam and thought I would try it. Overall, I think it worked very well. It did make the oil change a little longer, but I hate having oil run down over my crankcase and wires. Well worth the extra time. Thanks for watching and commenting. Enjoy the Journey - Cheers
