Don’t Make This Mistake When Buying A Tractor!

- After owning my Kubota B2301 for a year there is one thing I hate about it. I'm going to fix that problem today. A mild disaster happened on the property and I need the tractor to help fix it. I ordered a skid steer quick attach adapter from Kubota and I'm going to use a Titan stump bucket to dig up and move a bunch of trees around to create a barrier on the property. I can't believe I didn't get a quick attach sooner. No more hammering pins out. Thanks for watching!

“I don’t have the right tool….”, sends me immediately to the hardware store. Missed opportunity my friend. :-)
Sir you need to spend $10 on a pair of snap ring pliers. $20 if you want the really fancy ones.
Dude, seriously I’ve watched every one of your board videos for the past 6 months, and I’m also in the market for a BX23S for our Cabin up North. How the hell did I manage to commingle my Pinball addiction with my Cabin Tractor Purchase!?!?
@@QuadriderFMX Haxman is a hoot. I like the way he fixes things and the way he involves his daughters. If we own pinballs, we fix ‘em, just like Haxman fixes everything else. :-)
Hermano! Pull the trigger on a backhoe attachment. I've use the thing so much! I haven't even hooked up the box blade yet.
I have 6 acres and the previous owner had it cleared like a wooded park. I have huge trees but it's like a park. I decided to let a large portion go back to woods and I also planted a lot of small seedling pines. I'm a full year into this process. From my experience, it takes pines about 3 to 4 years to grow tall enough to block the sight line from a road. We have only neighbors ride by but I swear the know everything I do. I had one call me and ask me if I needed help getting a tree off my fence. It was so far in the back, I don't know how he could see it. Everytime I put in something new in the gardens, they come by to talk about it. I can't wait till these trees to grow up so they can't see everytime I sneeze. I know exactly how you feels.
So funny
As a beginner farmer leasing my farms I really appreciate the watchful eye of the old timers. One fellow is describe as a friend and sort of a mentor slows way down, fully takes his eyes of the road, and turns 90 degrees every time I see him go by.
When a pile of 1970s hay chaff mixed with trash I was digging out of our long idle barn spontaneously combusted while I was taking care of the flock on a different farm he saw it, and I heard about it right away, so I didn't lose the barn.
@@swamp-yankee that is a benefit of having watchful eyes. I just like my privacy. I suppose there is a down side. I know what it's like to have to take care of multiple farms/properties. Our other property is so secluded and I love being there for that reason.
I value my privacy as much as the next girl...
... but it's really sweet they care enough to call and offer to help. I don't think I've ever spoken to my neighbors...
@@TheSHOP411 Neighbors are always the biggest risk when setting up a meth lab .
That's a good dad who gives his daughter tools and time on the tractor.
I’ve had our B2920 for 7 years and love it! We have 40 acres and my wife is amazed at how I can spend all weekend on it! It also sips diesel, unless I’m bush hogging thick stuff.
Thanks for the video!
Drll 1/8th in hole in bottom side of 5 gal bucket. Fill bucket with water and let it slowly run out around the tree. Works very well here in kansas. Timming some of the small branches will help the tree not have to work so hard while it rebuilds roots.
The convenience of a Quick Attach makes sense but when you add a Quick Attach and bucket it does reduce your lift capacity.
Keep it in mind when your lift capacity is less than 1,000 lbs with a pin on bucket.
Good job! What I am going to mention to you is a “trick” I use to speed up the tree growth due to allowing the water to get deeper into the soil. Before putting the root ball into the ground, I would dig a little deeper and place drainage pipe / sewer leech line pipe into the soil standing vertically. Instead of water easily getting down into the root zone quickly you can double the water penetration allowing and encouraging root growth down deeper. Just a thought I know it works great in my area of the country.
Thanks for the tip!
Correct! Cheap and very effective.
You answered a prime question I had with 5 acres wanting to transplant trees, but needed to see a stump bucket in action first. Thanks! Also, nailed the Thurston Howell III (Jim Backus) impression and gave me a laugh.
Great video. Love the fact you are getting your daughter involved too. Good learning process!
It's good to see your little girl pitch in and "help". Nice tractor too.
That's awesome he has a daughter that is cool enough to want to get involved and learn and help. She will be happy she did when she is older and has friends and guys that are impressed that she knows how to handle a tractor or work on her car even if she dosent want to she will know enough that she dosent get taken advantage of at a repair shop or a parts store. Great job parenting!
Thanks! I’m fortunate enough to have three cool daughters. 😁
Mine used to go hunting and fishing with me... And then she started riding horses.
those kind of daughters are far and few between take it from a man that has raised three daughters good for you
Madison, you give me confidence that i can learn to run a tractor at my age.
Excellent video on a very concerning "problem", so to speak. The one thing I miss from a previous house we had was the seclusion it had. At the foot of a small mountain range, it was almost 9 acres with a nice view from the front and totally blocked from the view on three other sides. I do miss that privacy but I also miss my diesel tractor! I envy you yours!! Great to see your girls can run it too! As always, thanks for the peek into your day to day living! You make being a man something to be proud of! Well done young man!! Take care, be safe and God bless!
Something I found valuable is to fill the hole with water first and give it some time to moisten the adjunct ground below where you are going to plant. I always plant tree/shrub level to the ground, when I pour the second bucket of water I mix the right amount of liquid fertilizer so the tree/shrub has something to utilize as it begins to send out new capillary roots. Mulching helps keep roots cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Hope this is a help.
Thank you
This works.
@@HAXMAN lucky kubota has a skidsteer plate adapter and easy to swath from pin to skidsteer or euro
type adapters wich is nice
You are spot on! I was a tree “installer” for a number of years, and that’s exactly how we did it. I know that he’s moving trees, but please remember to remove the cage(basket) from a tree that’s been purchased from a nursery. Remove all burlap, too. Good video!
Great idea transplanting the trees. My parents would do that the hard way by driving out close to the mountains were no one was around and using shovels to slowly dig them up, obviously not as big as you were doing but when they replant then they would tamp a lot of soil around them and just leave the garden hose run on them giving them tons of water for a long time and then the next day re-tamp the soil again and adding pmore soil and water again. Those exposed roots really needed to recover from being torn up out of the ground.
Good luck with getting the trees to reclaim your privacy :)
6 months later... how are the transplants holding up? Thanks for all the great content!
Hopefully you got enough roots for the trees to live. Also, if you leave any holes under the tree when you filled in the dirt it can be really bad for the tree. You don't want it really packed down, but you don't want any voids either.
Another great video. Like you, my wife and I had a place with a 40x100 lot and recently grabbed a place in WA on 5 acres. Now I want to plant a small orchard for apples and pears and looking at a sub-compact tractor. The quick release looks like a must. Thanks for all the excellent and entertaining videos.
I bought a B2301 four years ago, and it's been great.
Mine didn't come with a third valve kit, so I installed one because I need grapple capability for firewood harvesting.
Great machine. No complaints.
We need more people/parents showing and teaching their kids how to do things...like you do.
Nice camera angles! When I bought my first tractor, the dealer had the quick attach on all the small tractors by default. Once I learned that, I kept going back to them since that told me that they knew what customers wanted!
Always get a bigger tractor than you think you will ever need, and always, always, get the quick attachment for the front end tractor accessories. Same for the 3-point hitch attachments too.
Quick release for skid steer stuff! Filled tires, Hydrostatic for Loader work!
I just found your channel and I love it. I just purchased 18.5 acres in Southern VA, and all your videos are inspiring.. thank you!
Nice work and I'm glad I found your channel. I like the Kubota and looked at the same but went with a Ventrac. It's a little more $$ but has more versatility, offers there own quick attachments, and best of all does not rut or destroy turf when working due to its light footprint and 4wd.
Thanks for the video. Lots of good suggestions in the comments section. I'm not sure if it's been mentioned but in the midwest something that is sometimes done is Root Pruning a season before transplanting. You cut around he tree in the soil just outside of the drip line, this encourages a better more compact root system. Making sure that the trees get extra water after the Root Pruning. Then the following year when you transplant the trees you will have increased success and less stress. And as mentioned in the comments thinning the canopy will also encourage better success.
A line of beautiful rose bushes is what you need! That will take everybody's attention.
We had a straight bucket on our L3400. We bought a quick attach and I just modified the bucket to work on the quick attach. Not to hard. Nice like you say to change attachments, good job.
I have a BX24D, and the first thing I did when I saw the new BX23S with quick attach on loader, is getting myself the quick attach from a BX23S and install it on mine, fits like a glove. But I see 2 issues on your video, 1st, when you transplant a tree, you always make the hole twice the size of the roots, and you absolutely flood the hole to the rim, then you put your new tree in, and put back the dirt slowly not to make the water flow out, this "trick" was explained to me by an old tree farmer arboriculturist, since then I never lost a transplant! Second, you should have bought a BX model with the backhoe, you can transplant way bigger trees, the backhoe is a formidable tool, amazing all you can do with it! But you are absolutely right about the SSQA quick attach, the amount of attachments available is amazing and way much cheaper!!! Update, I forgot to say I bought an SSQA adaptor plate to weld on my bucket for $80, just welded it on, did not need to order a new bucket!
the close up footage was so good i could smell the dirt
Great video. Bummer you didn't get the SSQA up front, but I'll be sharing this with folks who don't understand what I'm telling them when I say they need a conversion kit. Thanks for sharing! Stump buckets rock!
Thanks for watching! I’ve gotten a ton of good info from your channel.
What an adorable little girl! She reminds me of my grand daughter "Dumplin" she is super helpful too!
This is an ideal tractor for me..now I really want one. thanks for the quick attach idea 💡
My family and I just move to a 6 acre property. I have several projects in mind, and I want a tractor for many of these projects. One of the main attachments I want is a stump bucket. I have SOME privacy, but there are a few holes in the tree line near the road. Thanks for this video.
From experience I have to say the quick attachment frame is a little bit light in strength! I usually had to reinforce the frame then repaint the assembly! Make sure you are aligned with the attachment and don't force it! Yes the link is very versatile! Enjoy the added usage and look into wheel spacers and counter weights for additional safety and stability! Stay safe and healthy and bless you for sharing 🙏!
Great video. When I brought my second Kubota I made sure to have a quick attach. I always tell people when you buy a tractor make sure you get one with a quick attach.
If you can weld and cut you can convert your pin on bucket to SSQA. I did one several years ago when I had a Kubota. The SSQA plate to weld on the bucket was about $125. It took me some time to get the "ears" off of the bucket, but it was easy to weld on the plate to the cleaned bucket then. You will need a welder (mine was a stick welder), the SSQA bracket to weld on the bucket, and a bunch of slitting wheels for your angle grinder. Or if you are good with a cutting torch, that could work too. My next tractor, I was a bit smarter and got a Kioti with SSQA equipped from the factory.. :) James
Hey good evening HAX. I can't believe that only a year ago, your dealer didn't implore you to get the SSQA but super happy you saw the light and got one. You will be, happy you did, in the coming years. The privacy, we call the BC Cedar hedge here (British Columbia cedar hedges) but they will for sure provide you absolute privacy up to about 15 feet high or more, and they are beautiful. Awesome way of never having to see the traffic, or your neighbors' house (respectfully) again. Last unsolicited thought- get a 3RD function valve installed and get a grapple. You clearly need one. :)) Love your channel - wish you and yours all the best brother!
Thanks Gord! I do need a grapple. Then I could quit using my left hand to hold everything laid across the hood while I drive. 😂
@@HAXMAN LOL!!
We went with the Quick attach from the get go. We rented before buying and found the quick attach was AMAZING when switching out tools!!
Yes. I would never have a tractor without it now.
I'm no expert - but you might want to cut about 25% of the tree back after transplanting. It's a bit counter-intuitive to cut back the branches and foliage, but the reasoning is that the roots were severely damaged by the transplanting, and the tree will die if it still has the same amount of foliage to support on those damaged roots. Over the long run, you will have a greater chance of the tree surviving, and also growing faster. Good Luck!
Thanks for that tip. I wondered about that.
good advice ... and watch it to see if it is "wilty" then maybe cut off more. I was going to suggest this as well, but I was going to say 50% ... And just drowning it with more water won't help, it also needs some air with the roots, drowning it can also kill it. Some smaller transplants, they would cut off almost all the top growth and leave a half leaf. But the "learning curve" is the fun of it. I enjoy your sense of adventure.
@@bherms3 Air literally kills the roots it is the last thing you'd want
Now you need a grapple.... I just bought one for my L3901. Love it!
props ro Madison helping out, making this switch is a 2 person job
I just bought my first tractor 🚜 kubota B2601 absolutely love it!!!! Love the channel Great 👍 video good luck with the trees 🌲. This fellow could pass for Jeff Bridges 👍👍🇨🇦
Sometimes the satisfaction of making the wrong tool work is worth the extra hour and bloody knuckles...
The lady is the best man for the job. HA HA HA. Dad's in training. LOL.
I got the frame mounted backhoe for my little mahindra. We also have 3 acres and it was undeveloped. Has been the most used attachment other than the loader. I've made quite a bit of side $ too.
Kid’s are awesome! You’ve got a great helper there!
I bought an L2501 with the skid steer QA and HST. Have since got tht EA Wicked 55 grapple. One of the best purchases ever.
As soon as I saw the tool for removing the snap ring I was sure it would go flying, it would for me, I feel better that the other side did just that :). I glad you found it though, a pain trying to find just the right replacement.
I absolutely love my quick attach. I also love my backhoe attachment for transplanting trees 🌳
I have this same tractor with the skid steer front attachment and the same stump bucket.. love the tractor and the bucket..
“The spirit of Freedom is with us today”. Good stuff
Good for you Mr. Haxman: I have done the same and it works! Every year, move 20 or 30 trees and in a short time, you have a wonderful privacy hedge of trees. It works: go for it. :0))
Great video and that's a really good tip for prospective buyers. I didn't know what I was looking for either when I started the buying process. I was lucky that my small dealer only had upgraded ones anyway. Thanks for sharing! :) - David
Thanks David. Yeah this was my first tractor so I didn't really know what to look for.
I added a quick attach to the rear of my tractor 3 point and it was a game changer. Wish I had a front end loader on my Case Tractor. But my neighbor lets me borrow his Kubota with it's front end bucket and it's all good.
1:00 had to laugh when he used his "Thurston Howl the 3rd" voice
I converted my kubota grand L3010 to a ssqa. I don’t expect anybody to believe me but I found a brand new ssqa at the scrap yard. Kubota orange and it for my loader. Best part was the cost. I negotiated for it with some my venison sausage and a case of beer.
I cut the tabs off my pin mount bucket and welded up a QA adapter plate. 3rd function hydraulic kit and a grapple is the best money I spent on it.
Hey Haxman, thanks for the video. I just purchased my first tractor and I'm watching TH-cam videos to learn do's and dont's. That is how it I came across your video. I'm glad I did. Although my tractor had the loader quick attach, I've been thinking of getting a stump bucket to dig up some old tree stumps. I first was looking at a backhoe implement, but didn't look long once I saw the prices. How do you think the stump bucket would do digging up 10-12" tree stumps?
Did you see the end of that green strap sticking up just a little bit on the other end?
Just yank on that, it comes off real easy. No tools needed.
Some people think it's more fun to use a knife.
I don't know why.
I've been contemplating making the conversion to quick attach on our L4400. After seeing this stump bucket I'm considering it even more.
You won’t regret it.
@@HAXMAN I have 20 acres and two Kubotas; a huge M100GX and the tiny BX-23S with the backhoe. If I could only keep one, I'd keep the BX. Anyone considering one should get a third function valve on the loader. That lets the quick attach really shine! Start with the 4 in 1 bucket. That will cover 90% of everything you want to do with a compact tractor. and the
I so agree with you on the quick attach as I too bought my BX with the Pin On bucket but not by choice because I bought mine in 2020 just as Covid was getting it's ugly tentacles into our World and for some reason I couldn't buy one. I was after my dealer for two years before he found me one and because of the time wait he threw in the quick attach bucket for nothing because it came off a 2021 BX that had been recovered for non payment so I finally have what I want. If you managed to get the tap root of those trees then they might make it. If you cut the tap root off you will be able to watch them die. I hope they grow for you.
I don't know if tours already aware of this, but if not ,you can take sone half inch PVC pipe about three feet long. Cut each piece at an angle to create point on one end. Drive them in to the ground at a slight angle angle about two feet near the base of each tree. Guy some miracle grow powder , and mix with water per the instructions and pour about a cupful about once a week. They will grow faster.
Always enjoy your videos - best wishes with the trees - and, good thinking!
Thanks so much!
Agree on the SSQA...gotta' have it. Fun video Adam...fingers crossed on the transplanted tree survival. I've had zero luck doing it but that's not usually a good indicator for everyone else! Look forward to the follow-up in the Spring!
Thanks! Yeah I told Kim even if they die they give some cover and put off buying them.
Worse case scenario you get get play...I mean work...WORK with that new bucket and do it again. It's a win/win!!
@@watershedoverlook Exactly 😉😄
love watching your videos. Just a suggestion when you dig up a tree in the ground mark it so you put it in the ground facing the same direction. if the sun hits it in the same direction it has a better chance of living.
Oh man.. when you were taking off that lock washer... I had flashbacks and was just thinking - don't do it, it NEVER EVER ends well! lol
Looks like a trip to the tool store is in order!
Did the same thing with my trees .Have a bx23s with backhoe and took no time at all .Had great success with the trees only 5 out of 30 died. been two years and cant see the road now ....
Thats like a lawn mower with a bucket on it? Cool beans
I've had great results transplanting by digging the hole oversized, tilling in some compost and 15-15-15 fertilizer then deep soaking with b vitamin and a couple drops of superthrive. Was that knife the barrage with m390? Great video btw
Nice job Haxman! You should have a nice stand of privacy trees in time for your grandkids high school graduations!!😉😁
Thanks! That's what I'm afraid of. 😂
I did this to my Kioti and now I can put skid steer forks (arriving tomorrow) on it. I couldn't see the clamp-on forks on the bucket and always had to have the wife spot where they were.
Hello Haxman, you were asking for names for your followers. My name is Jim, and after watching about 10 of your videos this afternoon/evening, I am an official HAXSTER!! I hope no one thought of that name before me but if they did..oh well, I still love what you’re doing and your sense of humor! We would get along well! Keep it up!
Great video I can relate to your feelings of privacy. I hope your trees all took root. Dan from Ohio
SSQA should come standard but on the smaller tractors you loose some lifting capacity. Some people want to lift a house with a scut. I wouldn't trade it for double the capacity, I swap implements a few times a day!
The money you saved buying trees just paid for your stump bucket! That's an impressive digger.
Both my BX1880 and L4701 came with SSQA standard. I could not imagine pin on attachments. I have that same stump bucket. It has been a lifesaver with some large pine stumps I had to remove
Hi hit me on my
I just bought a l3901. This will be my first tractor hope she will do everything I need her to do
A man and his machine is a great thing. Quick attach is the only way to go because changing attachments by lining up pins gets old real fast.
I know you have watched my John Deere 1023E go to town on all sorts of things but man do I wish we had a Skid steer!
That bucket is the next best thing to a backhoe . I have one for my L 2501 and I was afraid that he didn’t have enough power until I saw your video
Real sorry about them tearing down that foliage. Where I lived in Washington had this gorgeous treeline all around us. It was torn down for hideous condos that nobody ever lived in. Last time I was there they still looked mostly empty. So much old forest lost for an ugly building to be basically empty for a decade :/.
Happens all the time around here too. 😕
SSQA is so nice on my B2650. You'll enjoy it! Pallet forks are my most used loader implement.
I use the clamp on forks constantly. Now I can upgrade those.
The 3 point adapter for the front is great. You can put a landscape rake on and reach in hard to get to places 😁
You can eat the root bulb of palmitos by cooking it over a fire it’s a delicacy in the south of Spain, the plant is actually protected in Spain making illegal to dig em up.
I got myself an 8” diameter speaker magnet at a surplus store. That booger has been amazing for dragging around on a rope to find lost items, pick up nails/screws etc. Oh yeah! Bald eagles! Murica!
Why didn’t the dealer try and sell the quick attachment while you were shopping? It’s one of those must haves. I bet there are some dealers that automatically put them on. I’m going shopping soon and I’ll find out then. Quick latch front and back. You do need the right tool and extra parts do accomplish the job.
Great that you have Madison to help you out there! 👍👍👍
I couldn't do a lot of stuff without her.
That stump ripper seems like a must have!
I wish I had it a year ago
Quick Attachments are the only way to go !
I thought you were leading up to purchasing a new tractor
I need to get me a stump bucket as well
It’s the poor mans excavator
Thanks for sharing
My Wife is not gonna be happy with you when I purchase a stump bucket
🤷🏻
Don’t worry I will paint it orange
She’ll never know !
It’s amazing what you can do with one. 😄
@@HAXMAN with a wife or with a stump bucket?
If you're ever working with those spring clips again without the tool the easiest way to get them off is use a 90 degree angled pick. Slide it behind one side and through the hole and it won't be able to fall out. Then just slide your flathead behind the ring and around. I've gone through a few sets of the Harbor Freight Pittsburg picks but at two bucks who would care?
Great video. You make me laugh. I'm glad you get your kids involved.
As far as you’re a good tree lines make good neighbors statement, I planted seven variety of bamboo around my 2 1/2 acre lot in the city. I use good 30 mm plastic to control the zones I wanted it to grow, and here it is a decade later and I live in a bamboo forest, no one can see through the 4 foot thick wall, it’s epic.
I envy your soil. I have 16acres in Texas and where I am it’s just sandy loam to sugar sand.
My brother ... as a man who prides himself as being a pretty good DIYer, with a pretty good sense of humor .... I WOULD PAY TO ATTEND YOUR SHOW!
😁Thank you very much!
Awesome attachment!
Awesome! Those trees will be big in no time!
Hope so!
That Eastern Cedar that lost 3/4's of the roots, no worries and it'll grow in its new place just fine and fill out circular in a few years....Stay tuned though in 15 years...with 35ft diameter of that cedar tree growing into the wooden FENCE...your wife and you will be cutting it down (nuisance tree) and using the cedar post for a non-rot application. So from this point forward....just tell your wife the cedar tree is temporary and you're just growing a nice post for the mailbox or a threshold beam for the barn. Those cedars make nice threshold beams...keeping the rain and mud out.
Hello I have a Kubota machine since two years, similar model. Just take care with this implement. You can bent this small frime in a second. This is a fantastic machine - it's a small, compact tractor, but then it also has some limits. The only good things is, that first thing which is going to bent is this small frame which You bought - they made it not so strong, so it will absorb damage first, before the two big elements of the FL will bent themselves.
How did you bend yours? What were you trying to do? I'm learning how to use our tractor now. Thank you.
Taking Snap rings off without snap ring pliers is tuff!! The last Kubota I purchased has the quick disconnect bucket…it’s the way to go!!!
Love that you include your daughter I have a daughter named Madison also she’s in to truck and cars changes her own oil with dad overseeing
That’s awesome!
Get the quick hitch for the rear! They are awesome
I have that same Benchmade pocket knife. Great knife when I'm not using it as a screwdriver lol.
