I like the kubota's with angle blade. Very nice. I have run a few. U35 & couple U55s. Kubota is very smooth machine. I have run them all. Kubota is one of my top picks.I just purchased a kx41-3v. Bit small. But cheep operation. Looking to work up to something bigger.
Thank for the comment! Yes I think Kubotas are nice machines and parts are easy to get. I have two local dealers and both are great. Unfortunately my kx040 just has the straight blade. I had one machine with angle blade and I've used a Deere a few times with angle blade and I agree it is very nice being able to grade and wind row material to one side or backfill a trench.
I am in process of ordering the ripper and tooth to make a ripper like you’re for my Takeuchi tb250. I see your video was 2 years ago has your ripper held up well?
@@tonymartin3327 oh yea it's been great! Only problem is the spikes on the back are all bent up. The spikes are great and help push trees and give leverage when prying. But my 3/8" plate teeth bent back when prying roots. Just make the main thick plate extend out more out the back instead.
Very neat and educational Neal. By any chance have you made a video on how you made the root ripper? I have a K7461 rake bucket I use on my Kubota U35-4 but it looked like the root ripper is a better tool. Thank you for the great video.
I bought a tooth for a box blade. I have a 1ton ht10 mini excavator. I just need to get it fitted to it. It works really well on my subcompact backhoe. I did add 3 layers of 1/4 inch plate steel. And made more like a knife. It will cut more then blunt force. It does work. I bolt to bucket so it will go deeper into the ground.
Hey thanks for the question! They're a little expensive but they are Justin Commander X-5. They are waterproof, steel toe, lace up tight for support and pretty comfortable. Link to them here amzn.to/3zwNXAS
And when I'm not wearing lace ups I wear Justin stampede steel toe. I have had 3 sets of these boots and they are great. They are what I'm wearing in the majority of my videos. Link to them here amzn.to/3oSsfTk
Yes sir it was a bit, but at the same time I sold my kx71-3 excavator, kx161-3ss excavator, pt30 track loader and my smaller pj trailer. So I actually came out about even with everything. Where are you based out of?
Great job with the ripper, but no chaps, no helmets and no ear protections, long life to you and your guardian angel.

You must work for OSHA 😂
@@josephflores1091 no, but I hate emergency rooms, visits are generally painful.
Nothing wrong with doing a job with safety as a priority

Love doing those kinds of jobs!
Yes this was a fun day. I normally don't do stump removal jobs, but I might start now with this new ripper. I am really happy with it!
@@NealORussa This ripper is just great! and love seeing the mini excavator in action!

Thanks for the comment! The ripper works great I definitely recommend! Here is my video of building it. th-cam.com/video/PogDsuMY1Us/w-d-xo.html

Does the ground freeze so hard you can't dig for some portion of the winter ?
No I wouldn't say the ground usually freezes that hard here in Kentucky. Maybe harder digging, but not unable to dig.
Great job
Thanks for the comment! I was really impressed with the ripper and how easily it took these trees down.
What boots are those your wearing?

I spent money like that last year on equipment very nerve racking
