#64 Trail Maintenance With Kubota & Box Scraper
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 ก.ย. 2017
- In this video I discuss how I maintain my trails with My Kubota Compact Tractor. (L 3901). Steep trails require lots of work at times due to heavy rain fall and erosion problems.

Boy that box scraper is the go to attachment,
You get a lot of use out of it!!👊
I am amazed at how easy you make this look. Keeping roads and drives smooth and level is probably one of the most challenging task that a landowner can tackle. Keep up the good work and keep these videos coming. Thanks. Tim
Thanks Tim
I really enjoy Mikes videos, as they are well-done, informative, and entertaining. The most important thing I've learned from watching them is that it's good to be Mike!!!!
Great job, Team Morgan! Just purchased my first tractor, a compact Kubota L3901 HST. Can’t wait for it and the implement to arrive here at the Red Dog Lodge! Really appreciate all the fun and informative videos that you folks put out here. I join the thousands of regular viewers and commend you on all you hard work!! I know it’s a labor of love. Best regards, always, to you (Mike) and your extraordinary family! Continue with you hard work, informative videos, have fun and be safe!
Nice work! I used to work in the landscape field. I used a L4701 kubota often. Along with a bobcat. Nice equipment.
so glad to have stumbled across your channel! I just bought (july) a larger property and am new to ALL of this. Have so many similar issues and needs. I have learned a lot so far. many thanks for posting this stuff! I have gone back and forth about where a tractor falls on my priority list (tractor, bass boat, ATV, UTV, pick up truck (done! lol), snowmobile etc lol) and seeing from your videos, having one is a must! which is great because I really want to sell the one that came with the property (1960's Ford) and get a new(er)Kubota (or Kioti). Thanks Again!
I had no idea that i had missed so many videos. Kinda glad i did though, give me something to watch on day that you dont upload. Gotta get my daily outdoors with the morgans fix👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hey Mike, Mike from MN. Keep up the great videos, I am using these as a tutorial for what I need to acamplish. Same issues with my property. Everything you post is helpful, keep up the great work.
Thanks Mike, I'm glad they are helpful
Kubota should be backing you...some great subtle tractor selling. Keep up the great work. I like your place.
box scrapers do such a nice job. great video. Thanks for sharing
Mike, found your channel a couple of weeks ago and have caught up on all your vids. Great job, good information. I have 20acres here in NH, L3200 love being out in the woods. Addicted to firewood like you, 3yrs worth all ready to go! :) Keep up the great job.
The Granite State! I worked up there years ago near Granite Lake I think it was called. Not far from Keene
Revisit the work you have here. See how your tricks are working. Maybe you have I don't know. Great throw back... Your channel has come so far. Awesome job!
I have land somewhat like this, and have thought of buying a box rake for my trails. Maybe next spring I'll do just that.
Thanks again Mike, for the video showing how to do it.
Reg Sparkes thanks for watching
I have done quite a bit of ATV trail riding on state land with designated maintained trails here in Ohio and a practice they use to cut down on erosion is very similar to what you are doing, but they go one step further. You will see every so often in a place where they have the "notch" in the side of the trail there is a 3/4-1" thick rubber flap that has been buried into the trail on an angle sticking up about 3-4 inches to force the water over the edge at that point. When you run over it, it just folds down and flips back into place....Seems to work really well!!!
Mike,I've got an L46 Kubota and recently bought a box blade to create some new trails on our property (160 acres). You have taught me so much on using a tractor and a box blade and I really appreciate you sharing all the things you do to maintain your property.
I'm glad it's been helpful, 160 Acres? Thats fantastic, Where you from?
We live in Nashville Tennessee, but the farm we bought is in Watertown Tennessee, about 45 miles southeast of our home. Right now it's recreational. I've set up a pistol & rifle range, we hike the property and enjoy the outdoors. We hunt deer and turkey too. I bush hog approximately 35 acres while the rest is forested. Your videos are teaching me a lot about land management. We hope to build a home there soon.
Another job well done and a good video on a good subject!!!
Mike I love your videos I have 31 acres , 29 acres of it steep heavily covered by trees in Tioga County ,PA. USA. I have no tractor just a 4x4 Polaris 500 EFI Ranger, snow plow & winch & lots of logging chains & 4 chain saws. I would love to have a tractor but the ground is too steep, I do the best I can. Thanks, Bob.
I had the same problem with my driveway before i paved it. I found it better to grade the road going up hill because the water was washing the gravel down the hill.
You may want to add a few small gravel (3" - 4" ht by 1' -1.5' wide) berms on your trail between the tail outs to slow the water down. Other than my 2 cents keep up the videos enjoy watching them.
Great videos Mike please keep them coming and it's a thumbs up from me for your idea of a series of Emergency Preparedness videos.
Thanks Barry
Great job. From a Grumpy Vermonter.
Extend the water bars ( not sure if that is what you called it, I call it a gully) all the way across the road at an angle so the road will look something like this ===//===//===//===//. They only need to be about 6” deep and 3’ wide ( shallow and wide). Then fill the gullies with crushed stone and top with road base. Since you only add stone and road base to the gullies or water bars It’s a cheap solution and will help tremendously with water drainage. Keep up the good work, love the videos.
Another great video Mike. I purchased my Kubota based on a friend's recommendation, great tractor. Oh and I'll trade five bucks here on my property in SC for that one big 8. ☺
This is the first year we had deer that good around here. Things keep getting better here in Pa for deer hunting
If that was a driveway or impotant trail, I would spend my time digging into that bank and widening the road, put ditches along the bank and slant the road towards the bank ( no sliding off that way). That is a lot of work, but my wife says I'm crazy because thats my favorite kind of project. Of course I don't have as much land as you do, you have to pick your battles. (good excuse to own more equipment though). Good luck and stay safe.
Another great film Mike and congratulations on 5000 subscribers!!!!!
Thanks Sean!
hello from northeast ohio,,enjoy all the videos!
Thank you. I mean really THANK YOU.
Great video Mike!
Thanks, I appreciate it
Hey Mike ,Cool video, I haven't purchased a tractor yet. Maybe you could go over some of the implements you have and use. I like how you explained the 3 point hitch and box grader. Thanks, Adam
Will do
it's like watching my mom frost a cake, each stroke is artistry..
I learn allot watching your videos. That hint about a level back blade was awesome, one wheel lower on the tractor. Going to remember that forever for all implements when needed. Thanks,great video
I'm happy that the videos are helpful
Watching these videos makes we wonder if i should get the L3901 or the B3350, still a few month away from getting one, 5 acres fully forested.
Looks to also provide passing spots. Informative video Bert
Appreciate it Bert!
Good stuff....if only we had a love button, I'd click that..
Hi Mike, your videos just get better every time. The editing and filming are first class. Did you ever do this as a profession? What is your trade? Great to watch every time. Cheers!
No, Actually blew stuff up for a living for years lol. I was a Blaster and worked heavy highway construction. Last 6 years I workmen oil & gas (Supervision)
Ha ha, that's pretty cool. When I was a kid my dad took me out blasting big tree stumps. I just loved turning that key! Thanks for the great entertainment.
Man I need a bucket!!

I might recommend purchasing the "deluxe filler hose #3044" if you're going to use the VP Racing jug.
Hi Mike, another timely and terrific video! I hope to get a box scraper this fall to smooth out my gravel driveway. Question: can the scraper bust up tree roots, if the tines are set to a very shallow depth and you grade it nice and slow with repeated passes? Thanks, and congrats on 5K subscribers!
Yes, easily pulls roots up, Not huge ones but decent size though
You have a lot high standards for trails then i do. No massive rocks and roots...means i'm happy. Maybe a few big rocks to launch the dirt bike. :)
Have you ever looked at using a grader scraper attachment for your tractor? Jason on the HollisFarms youtube channel has a bunch of videos of him using one to maintain roads. Also, there is a good video called Maintaining Forest Roads somewhere on here that gives good info on how to make a proper water bar. My personal experience with where to make a water bar is to find where the water starts cutting a rut at, then go about 10-20 feet up hill from there and make the water bar. This cuts the water off the road before it gets moving fast enough to start carrying away material.
Yes, I have seen those scrapers and they seem to work well, I just like the box scraper because it carries material along and fills in the low spots
Why not take pressure-treated 2 x 6 and a couple 2 x 4" and screwed together and put on an angle across the road to collect your water for the run off ?
We have used something like that at work on steep gravel roads but buried old conveyor belting leaving some sticking up. You can still plow snow over top of it
Ever tried making some type of "speed bump" so the water can follow your drain you have created? Good videos! Should look into a grapple for your front end loader make you wonder how you lived with out it. I have one for the mahindra 2538 well worth the money specially picking up the dead trees and moving them out the way.
Thats what I did it's just hard to see on video, and I don't make them perpendicular, kind of on a 45. The grapple is my next purchase, I have to get the 3rd function valve first. I know Im going to love it for what I do, cleaning up the woods, firewooding that kind of stuff
I have one for my Kubota and it's worth every penny! It'll pay for itself in no time.
Tell me about your headphones in the next video Mike. Thanks
You have some beautiful land there Mike and equipment , your living my dream , I would do the same things , I always wanted a bunch of acres and the equipment to sculpt it into what ever I wanted , how many acres do you have there ? Ok thanks for the vids I enjoy them very much , thank you .
Thanks for watching Mike, Where you from?
Thanks Mike , I live between Niagara falls and Buffalo New York , Nothin like Hunting and the out doors , I'm also pretty addicted to shed hunting in the spring , have you tried that ? Also it's nice to get out to my club for some shooting. , I'll bet you have a rang set up on your acres , well ok thanks for the response !
Looks like a beautiful piece of property, how many acres do you have?. I don't see any dead Ash trees, on my 10 acres (northern Virginia) I have 70 or more standing amongst Hickory, Pin oak, White oak and Maples. I germinated seeds from a giant PA Sycamore couple years ago and they are now 10 feet tall.
I have about 40 and it joins my moms place so about 90 total to take care of. I didn't have a lot of ash but what I did have is dead
Simple solution .. woven Geotextile .. used for national parks .. dirt roads .. gravel roads .. then cover with dirt .. then wood chips .. as you get them .. or gravel ..
Those steelers got a QB from Tennesee in this years draft...Josh Dobbs. I watched him a few time at UT which is an hour from me.
How did he look?
Looked good at UT, done good in preseason against the Panthers, but will be groomed as a backup to Big Ben until the draft another Q. I feel like he can develop into a starter under Ben, but it'll take time.
I'm not a professional grader but I have heard that it is better to slope the road toward the inside until you are at a place to turn it over the bank. You can better control the water that way.
True, If you have culvert pipes
Outdoors With The Morgans love the videos!!
When you use the box blade do you use 4x4?
Hi Mike, how much downward pressure do you think is required for this box blade to be effective? I have a smaller Kubota garden tractor, and was thinking about building a scraper of this style, thanks.
There is no real down pressure on the 3 point except the weight of the attachment. But with the rippers on the box scraper it kind of pulls itself into the ground if that makes sense.
Do you have fluid in your tires?
Good video, Mike! I have a Kubota and a box blade. I also have lots of trails to maintain, which got extremely rutted after our local flooding. Are you using the rippers? If so, how deep are you ripping? I also have a gill pulverizer. Which one would you use if you had both? Thanks! BTW, I'm local to you. Any chance I could get in touch for some consulting?
I do use the rippers but not real deep, with a box blade I like taking multiple light passes taking just a little material with you and making long runs if that makes sense. Also yes if your local I would be happy to take a look at your property. Maybe send me a message on our Facebook page Outdoors With The Morgans, or you can message here on TH-cam, Thanks

How wide is your box blade? Any new attachments you've been thinking of buying for your tractor?
Kurt K, its 6', next attachment is wicked grapple but I need 3rd function valve first
I notice some rock on your road; is that just natural to your area?
Have you ever considered a backhoe attachment. I am just starting to develope our property and will be buying a tractor 40-60 hp in the next year. Can't decide if they are worth the 12-14000$
They are nice if you need one for a bunch of smaller projects all the time, But if you have occasional big projects every once in a while I just rent a mini excavator, I have several videos I uploaded last week when I rented one that you should check out
Hey Mike, I know you've said it in other videos but I can't recall what you said. How many acres do you have?
I have 40 that joins right up against my moms place for 90 total
nice job
Thanks Dave
Was that a whiskey flask on the side of the trail at about 22 seconds into the video? :)
It kinda looks like an old pint bottle.
Do you get any of your implements from "everything attachments" ?
Mark Kopf, I haven't yet but will be soon
I bought my Grapple from them for our B2650, that is a must have implement with all the tree cutting you do.
Great product, they also have great youtube videos how to use equipment. I have purchased 72" box blade, 72" 6 way blade scraper and 72" landscape rake + free shipping within 2000 miles of North Carolina.
I just traded my Kubuta B7800 for a Kioti NX5010.....I purchased a grapple in that deal as well. Haven't taken delivery yet but I have a feeling that will become my favorite piece of equipment next to the tractor of course. I expect it'll be a huge time saver and keep my wood much cleaner instead of skidding logs. I was looking at Everything Attachments for 3 point finish mowers....they seem like good guys down there.

Outdoors With The Morgans I grew up in beaver county. Small world. great job on the videos.
Michael Mckim, Thanks. You still in the area?
Why not put down some grass seed to keep it from eroding
Some places I did do that and it works great, I just brush hog it a few times a summer, But here there is a lot of shale, and almost 100% shade and nothing will grow
Outdoors With The Morgans have you tried pennington smart seed dense shade works pretty well here where it doesn't get much if any sun...
Cut the berm off and pitch it down hill to the side
Is there other traffic using this dirtroad, or just you?
Peter Los Angelos just me, its a trail on our property
It was nerve racking seeing you push dirt on the edge of that cliff, that baby tractor must weigh over a ton...enough to give you one heck of a bruise if it rolled over you.
The key is don't run over the hill lol
