I have only watched about 2 minutes of your vlog. I SUBSCRIBED and give you a HIGH FIVE! Thank you, my first year of using my 2380, and I live on a steep hilly farm, but, the roll bar goes up, BEFORE MOVING THE TRACTOR. My wife said so! I did put another bar on the lip of the bucket, to keep down so much wear and tear. Thanks for the vlog, looking for many more. THANKS ALOT!!!!!!!!
Hey man thanks i greatly appreciate it! Glad you enjoyed it. Having a second bolt on cutting edge on the lip of your bucket is never a bad idea, it not only protects the original welded on edge but it also strengthens the edge of your bucket so when prying materials out of the ground your bucket will not be as prone to bending like others with out the bolt on cutting edge so that was definitely a good call! So is having your rops up! Stay safe and have fun!
Also love love that you did video in real time. Give realistic expectations.
Thanks Felix, I’ll keep this in mind next time I’m out working the machine! Sorry I’m just seeing your comments
Glad you had a good supervisor and he didn't use the stick on you. Great job.
Haha! He’s a good supervisor for sure. Keeps me company too. Thanks for watching
Very enjoyable to watch. You are like a surgeon with that dang FEL! Great job!
Thanks Clint! I really appreciate that. The more time you have in the seat the better you get that's for sure. Thanks for watching man.
Great Video and content!
Love watching another 23s work. Thanks for all the videos. Just did my first 10 hour greasing on mine tonight. New grease gun too, was constantly getting stuck on the fittings, so frustrating!
Thanks for the comment! I’m glad your enjoying the videos. As for your grease gun getting stuck, this can happen with almost anything when you have a brand new grease gun as the prints on the end of the grease gun that hold the tip onto the fitting can be really tight when new, it should get easier and easier the more you use the grease gun. If it doesn’t get easier you can always scrape off some of the poweder coat off the grease nipples but before trying that I would maybe suggest trying a different nossle for your grease gun and see if you have any better luck if this nossle never gets easier to work with. Hope this helps
Great job 👍
Looks great Mike.
Thanks!
Just watching this now..Nice job on reducing the hill. You are very skilled with your tractor.
Thanks Jean I appericate it buddy, the more you use it the more you get to know the machine and the better operator you’ll become with it.. Iv got a lot of hours on my machine and other tractors and it has def helped to dial in my operating skills.. clearing land is one of the best things you can do to polish your skills as it requires a lot of loader movement to scrape/clear land and I have done acres and acres with my bx. I’m glad you went back and watched it and hope you’ll find more you havnt seen yet! Stay safe out there!
Excellent!!!
Thanks Tom!
Great job!
Thanks!
Great job! Thats really going to help on mowing once you get finished up. Looks like you’ve hit 1000 subs now! Have a great weekend!
Thanks man! Yah finally hit the 1,000 sub hurtle and damn was it a hurtle! Glad to see how far the channel has come, and you aren't far behind yourself I see! Cant wait to mow that hill for the first time come next season, it will be much easier no doubt.
Отличная работа 👍😎
I enjoyed watching the BX tear away at the irregular ground. I’m in the Kubota KX family. I’m subscribing to your channel! And I’ll be looking forward to more BX videos on down the road. 👍🏻 - Samuel
Thanks buddy I really appericate it, thanks for subscribing. The Kubota KX series are great! What size excavator is it? I’v been wanting a Kubota excavator for years and planned to buy one this summer only I decided I needed to build a larger garage before I do so now it’s looking like I may have to wait another summer before buying a mini excavator to go with my Kubota BX but you never know maybe I’ll find a deal on a good used one if I have the money this summer. You live in TN? I had an uncle who lived in Nashville, he really loved it there 👍🏻
@@BiffsEquipment You’re welcome! It’s an 8-Ton KX080. If you get some time you can check out my channel. I have 8 videos published showings it capabilities as a logging/tree work tool. #LiftingCapacity and #TractiveForce
An excavator would be great for your channel, and it helps already knowing what brand you want! 😜
Time to retire those jeans lol nice work I pick my bx23s up tomorrow
nice job
Thanks!
Found yourself a few nice stepping stones.
Haha, you got that right buddy 👍🏻
Nice tractor work very good with the front in loader. You mentioned you don’t like the GoPro seven black. I have two of them and love them. I use external battery that gives me 6 to 9 hours of running time. It’s called refuel and it works great DigiPower Re-Fuel ActionPack Extended Battery for GoPro HERO5/6/7- Black
Hey Patrick thanks for your comment, I actually ended up finding out why my 7 black was giving me so many issues and it was because of the SD card I was using. I was using a Samsung evo pro 128gb which apparently the GoPro didn’t get along with which was what caused me so many issues in both the cameras I had owned.. I now used a scan disk extreme 128gb and it works flawlessly. Thanks for watching
Not easy getting a good cut with the light front end of tractor but you made it cut well. Great video.
Thanks Joel and your 100% correct. Its so much easier to make these types of grades and cuts with a larger heavier machine.. specially with something like a skid steer. Thanks for watching!
Got my bx 2 days ago I watched ur Videos a few days prior to get one and I was impressed what u can do with it and was confident it will
Be a good Maschine and i try copying how u use the fel and I’m amazed how fast a guy can learn it but I prob watched 10h of you operating one lol prob saved me 50h figure out myself how to do it. Keep ‘em coming I’m impressed what Thai thing does at only 3h use
Thanks Henry and congrats on your new BX! I think I saw your other comment about you getting it soon, I bet your really excited to get some work done with it on your property! I’m glad I helped sell the tractor to you as it is an awesome machine. Most tractors and equipment Iv used for any period of time I seem to always break them and find the weak links.. my BX on the other hand has just blown my mind with just how much abuse it can take and keep coming back for more.. every time I think “oh this is gonna break something for sure” it never breaks! Lol. I’m glad my videos have knocked off lots of hours from your learning curve, it really does make a huge difference when your able to see it being done first.. I’m the same way. If I can just see it being done I know that I can do it but I need to see it first. Thanks for the support!
@@BiffsEquipment yes I’m really exited I have to fill in lots of gravel around shop I build my gravel road hasn’t seen maintamace In 5 years I’m planning on slowly expandier my gravel driveway and turn around pad ( it will take me longer than they guys with skid steer but I have time and it’s fun) so I got it with a tiller and box scraper. I think that’s stump bucket would be really handy gotta find a place here in Canada where I can buy one. I got the 18hp as lift capacity and so was same and it was quiet abit cheaper good for my needs I thought plus I can always bump the pressure if needed. I’m impressed with it sofar. Thanks for the reply and yes “stealing” with my eyes is very very helpful I didn’t really why u always back blade gravel to get it all smooth I thought of every other way tk used the bucket but how u use it I try it all and then I knew why u do it the way u do it so I do the same works fantastic I’m slow but results I see I’m a lot happier than others around me I’ve seen fixing they’re driveway didn’t look as good as urs but I’ll get there slowly. I seen a lot of alter bx videos reference u I bet with a little more time u could be the next Stanley dirt monkey lol. Have a good day god bless
If the blue/green pipes are drainage those large rocks will do great where the water hits. We use them for large pond drains to keep it from washing the dirt away.
Thanks man, yah so far the drainage pipe I installed is working perfectly, tho I need to clean out the area where the water comes out of the pipe as it has slowly settled in towards the pipe, it’s just been too wet latly for me to get back there and clean it out with the bucket of my BX. I hope to buy a mini excavator soon and if I do I’ll clean it out with that. Thanks for watching!
A box blade is a extremely valuable implement just for occasions like this or even a 4 in 1 bucket.
Totally agree! I plan to buy one next spring.. just had a lot of other things I needed to buy this summer. Always wanted a 4-1 also.. specially for the type of work that I do with my tractor I think it would really be a fantastic tool for my driveway jobs
Found this one searching for BX videos. Trying to decide if it’s going to be enough tractor. Nice video!
Thanks man, well I’m glad you found it, check out the rest of my channel if you haven’t already, Iv got tons and tons of videos all doing tons of different/odd jobs with my Kubota bx, specially if you go back to last summer when I was doing side work. My side work will start again soon this summer so I’ll have many new videos to come so you guys can see thus little tractor work. Thanks for watching !
Buy John deere. Go sit on them and you will see why
The Kubota 25 bx will do anything you need to do around your house. It's will take patience and a little time. Kubota over John deer any day. Great machine.
Yeah the music is back! ;-) Another great video and I learned more watching how you use the FEL. How to you protect and maintain your bucket?
Thanks again man! Glad you like the music, I know some people don't but its hard to please everyone.. 95% of my subscribers enjoy hearing the music as well though so that's good. What do you mean how do I maintain my bucket? Not sure what you meant.
100% agree on the Hero 7. Always have mine plugged into an external battery, as well as a metal case for heat dissipation. It always overheats/shuts off/bugs out on me, rarely reliable.
Wow, yah I knew I couldn’t be alone.. this is exactly what mines doing.. I can’t even begin to tell you how much amazing footage I’ve lost because it overheated and froze mid recording.. and of course u don’t see it till your done and then you realize half your footage is gone and that’s when it gets whipped lol. Glad I’m not alone but it sure does suck. I have tried updates as well but nothing works
@@BiffsEquipment Yea, its pretty infuriating considering its sold an a extreme sports camera and isn't cheap. Using a metal case and keeping it in the shade generally avoids overheating issues for me (if I can find any shade, thinking of just making a custom mini umbrella for it haha).
@@CarlsonSonLandscapingLLC Yah man i totally agree, I keep mine in shade whenever possible.. Camera is a real pile lol.
👍😎
Would love it if you made a video on how to grade with a tractor. Even just more videos doing with a tractor would be awesome.
Great suggestion! I made a video about a month or so ago explaining some loaded tips that I gave on camera. Check it out. I plan to also do many more of them in the future
Hey Biff - Great video! I love the way you left your belly mower on! I swear I did the same thing last week while I was drilling in some fence posts. My neighbor stopped by as he usually does when he hears the tractor and said "Really?? you couldn't even take off the mower?" I just said "nah....more weight!" .......Keep 'em coming bud.
Really? haha thats funny! No need to take it off IMO, not only is it more weight but its more stable as well! Only time I would see someone taking it off is because they are driving on very bumpy ground where the deck can easily bottom out or maybe in thick woods where the deck could easily get damaged. Thanks for watching my videos man im glad you like them!
i only take my mower off to clean it and if i need more ground clearance. i take it off for winter for example. i leave the mower on the tractor when im tilling my garden. i set the height adjustment at it's highest setting and leave it on the tractor. i dont have time to take the mower off anytime im doing a task besides mowing.
@@andrewdonohue1853 Me neither! I carry it around when I'm doing loader work AND when using the backhoe!
nice job with the bx. Love my machine. Music is awful, though. Lol
Thanks 👍
Man I like your videos. Can tell you have spent a lot of time in the seat. I have one question, what tires are you running?
Thanks Brian! I have been running the Carlisle WT300 tires.. these are an amazing tire that I found years ago that are right between a turf tire and an R4 tire and in my opinion one of the best all around tires you can buy for a sub compact tractor. I did a video talking about them, here is the link: th-cam.com/video/Doc1yNMbGuY/w-d-xo.html
Looks great! What RPM do you run your machine at when doing work like this?
I typically like to run it at 2500-2800.. 2800 or higher when I’m working it hard lifting heavy clay materials or stone just cuz I want the power and speed during a job.
Missed a spot!
J/k
Just a word of advice if you plan on doing this much loader work with the BX you might want to takeoff your mower deck it will save on the mower deck
Thanks Ryan, I totally agree I always take off my mower deck when doing loader type work this was actually the only time I didn’t haha. Thanks for watching!
I have roughly 3 acres that has ponding and crap trees that need to be taken out.
I scored 30 loads of good top fill from a local project in town for $1k... thought I did great at roughly $33/load but now I realize I don't know what I'm doing!!
Please give me some pointers on filling in low lying areas... float does NOT work how I imagined and I seem to be applying around 2-3" of topsoil but keeping the old grade I'm trying to get rid of.
Thanks, great vids. subd!
Hey Luke thanks for the sub! Grading with a front end loader looks a lot easier than it actually is sometimes but I can try to give you a few tips tho it’s gonna be hard to explain not being there to show you. The biggest thing is to find the grade you want to keep and do that first.. then work off of that grade using it as a template to keep it all the same.. float will not work well for super fresh/soft topsoil the bucket will often dig down into the dirt ruining all your work.. the way I often use float is by making sure Iv got the tractor on my template or the spot that I’m happy with, I’ll dump a bucket of dirt into the low spot that you want to grade.. then staying in the same spot while being in front of your freshly dumped topsoil drop your bucket to the ground using float (keeping it curled all the way backwards) and once the bucket makes contact with the ground take it OUT of float but make sure to keep the bucket right where it was at.. then drive forward to spread the pile with your bucket curled all the way back.. this should insure that your spreading through topsoil at the exact same level while your using your bucket/loader as a debth gauge on the grade that your happy with.. a lot of it also is just learning the feel of the tractor and going by sight.. making sure your tractor is level before trying to grade is another huge factor.. if your tractor is crooked so will your grade be.. so make sure you make your template then keep your tractor on top of it as you continue to grade out the area around it.. as long as your tractor stays level so will the ground beneath it. Hope this helps, it’s very tough to explain with out being there to show you. Best of luck!
@@BiffsEquipment Thanks for the reply, great job explaining it. I think I'm trying to work to big an area at once. Sounds like I need to establish my template and slowly work outwards from there, not moving on until the newly worked soil matches my template.
Makes sense, float definitely wasn't doing it!
Thanks again, looking forward to the next video.
Have you a special cutting edge on the bucket?
No it’s just the factory welded on cutting edge.. I do plan on building my own cutting edge for the front tho as my factory one is not shot after all the abuse Iv Given it these last few years
Should show the scene where you drove through the barbed wire and tore your pants. ;)
...were you wearing these jeans when the Grizzly bear jumped on you???!!! By the hole size, it must've been one hell of a battle!!!!
Always nice to watch your channel and not , for the jeans.
I have very little pants with out holes as I don’t buy cloths or jeans often at all.. cuz as long as I can wear them I don’t really care what they look like. These jeans are comfortable as heck and that’s all I care about but unfortunately they don’t make them anymore.. just like anytime you find something you like it seems as tho they stop making them. Thanks for watching.
Hello
Hey, how are you? Thanks for stopping by
call that a hill?
I do.. I called it a “hill side” what would you call it? I didn’t say it was a “mountain” it’s a hill.. exactly as described
@@BiffsEquipment maybe a gentle slope
That job was screaming for a box blade and land plane.
Idk I mean it wasn’t that big of a hill to begin with.. had limited space to move around too as it was just a small area.. but I agree a land plane or box blade coulda also got this done, frankly I’m more comfortable with my loader, but on larger grading jobs a box blade or land plane is where it’s at 👍🏻
Grader blade would’ve saved you 15 min
It woulda also taken me 15 minutes to install the grader box, and a grader box doesn’t properly grade until it’s full of material.. I feel the loader with the right person running it is still quicker in most cases.. if I wasn’t up on top of a hill and was grading a larger stretch of flat land then I would agree.
Less talking, more working :)
