Cool Vid! Thanks for sharing. I have watched a few of your vids and notice that when you're working with trees you tend to use the smaller bucket. Was wondering what the benefits are for using a smaller bucket over larger for tree work?
It breaks the roots easier, disturbs less ground and for moving trees and logs it puts less twist load on your bucket pins. Thanks for watching and have a wonderful day 😊
I haven't been around one, so I really don't have an opinion. Me personally I prefer a conventional tail swing machine. That's just my preference. Thanks for watching, and have a wonderful evening
You talk about the dirt burning, we worked in a town doing parts of the remediation project because the water was burning. Houses would explode after rain due to all the fumes coming up through the ground. The dirt would even burn. Here is just a small part of an article on it and they still have that problem to this day. For one thing, there were probably 4 million gallons of gasoline under Hartford -- four times larger than the IEPA estimate -- when pumping began, according to Mathes' report issued in 1984. Pumping had removed about 800,000 gallons, but the two recovery wells could remove no more than an additional half-million gallons, which would leave the village sitting atop 2.7 million gallons of gasoline. Extracting gasoline that had soaked into soil as opposed to removing pools of gas that floated above the water table would be "unjustifiable and uneconomical," the consultants wrote.
Yes, the ripper doesn't dig and most of our trees are deep rooted. I have tried the ripper, and it was almost useless. But it is very handy for other things. Thanks for watching, and have a wonderful evening 😀
Nice job, thanks for sharing. Learn something every time I watch these type videos. Watching you dig around those trees made me think, I might have to call the utility companies before I start digging and pushing over some of the trees close to the house and by the road.
Depends on what you plan on doing with the machine. If you are just backfilling trenches, probably not. What I use my machine for it is worth every penny. It would be very hard for me to go back to the straight or even a angle blade. Thanks for watching, and have a wonderful evening 😀
@darrenegginton9842 I think on some machines that works. But that is one complaint I have with the Kubota's. There air filtration for the cabs is a little lacking. They could definitely improve on that system.
Nice Job. I am surprised somebody doesn't want the pine for lumber. I enjoyed the way you went over that hose in the beginning. Worked rather well.
We will be taking more pine out Monday, He was taking today about seeing if someone would be interested in buying it. Thanks for watching 👀 🙂
He is no doubt the " Dirt Dominator "

@@jeramyreberpuredirt7873 makes sense...I like the part about less twist on the pins
16:08 sounds like you are pushing it with your hamds😂😂😂
😊
I'm going to buy one in the next couple months and cant decided on which one....lol
I think they are both good machines.
I was just wondering what your thoughts are on the U48-5 in comparison to the KX-040?

That is interesting, thank you.
Do you prefer the 1 foot bucket over a ripper for tree removal?
Yes, the ripper doesn't dig and most of our trees are deep rooted. I have tried the ripper, and it was almost useless. But it is very handy for other things. Thanks for watching, and have a wonderful evening 😀
You never said "Timber"
Never do, the trees don't know the difference 😉 hope you have a wonderful week. 😊
At the end of day two the pad looks perfect. If there was an art category for dirt moving Jeramy would win for sure.
Thank you my friend ❤️
Love watching you run that mini, I have the same machine but at only 180 hours, I am not as smooth as you are with the controls.
Thank you, practice practice practice, it gets easier, thank you for watching and have a great evening 😀

It definitely is a good idea to get locates if you think there may be utilities. Thanks for watching and have a great evening.
Do you think the 6:1 blade is worth the extra money???

Is that kubota 4 or 2 tons?
4
Turn on fan so dust doesn't come into cabin
Even with the fan on it still gets dust in the cab. My 121's got less dust than the 040's. Thanks for watching and have a great weekend.
@@jeramyreberpuredirt7873 thought the pressure would blow out stopping the dust 😭

@@jeramyreberpuredirt7873 exactly what's the good of a cabin if it is not air tight
@@darrenegginton9842 the heater and ac work excellent. I will put up with a little dust to have the comfort.
I think I seen one of them as a dump bed. Do you have price on it yet?
What are you asking about for a price of?
