Here is another video of our new Kubota BX25D with the chipper/shredder working and then the back hoe on and using the custom built "Claw" that I made. Hope you enjoy the show :)
This video illustrates something that most backhoes suffer from. The outrigger feet are a compromise. They are designed to support the tractor on soft ground and when equipped with rubber pads, to protect pavement and concrete. But most backhoes have enough "curl & dipper" power to slide the backhoe into the work. A cool outrigger pad modification would be to have spades (almost like on howitzers) on the back edge and protruding down 6"-10" so that if you drag the tractor back the spades would sink down and dig in to provide a lateral resisting force so you don't keep dragging the tractor closer to the work and enabling you to use the power of the backhoe to pull ut rocks and stumps.
Hey Paul, watched your video, liked it. Have a John Deere myself and I like it. I also have a DR chipper. It does up to 4-1/2 inches. What I think you might make for yours is a kind of plunger for it. I had a grandson weld one up for me. Gave him the specs and he did a great job. Mine is a flat square piece for the base about half inch thick a half inch bigger then the hole the branches go into. (5 inches for me) On that in the middle of the base he welded an alumn. arm about 2-1/2 feet to 3feet long and then welded a handle on it. All this was made with alumn. so it wouldn't weigh to much. When you have pieces that are short you can push them down with it and not have to worry about your hands or hitting the blade with it. Hope you understand what I'm trying to say. Keep up the good work.
Sounds interesting. You should do a video on it. I may turn mine into a hydraulic feed. I haven't done it yet because I haven't used the chipper much. Might be a spring project ;)
Very helpful to so many with your videos. Thank you for producing first rate mods and videos. I was just so hoping to see you use the thumb you built with that ripper shank to pick up those rocks. I'm gonna need another video. You probably have already done it, I just need to find it. Still in the air on wether I'll go green or orange. Either way thank you for your time.
Thank you. Glad you liked the video. If you want to see the thumb working I found a video that will show you just how well it do work. Start at the 9:00 mark. th-cam.com/video/gaAZNyisdOA/w-d-xo.html Good luck with your tractor purchase.
I like the mods you have done to your BX25. I am now the proud owner of one. A gift from the wife for valentines day. I am looking for the video on the ditch lights and can't seem to find it. Thanks.
jason hyland Congrats on your new machine. Your going to love that thing. All I can tell you on the ditch Lights is that the video is on our channel somewhere but I don't know where. there's over two hundred and twenty video's on it now.
My wife thinks I'm crazy for sitting here and watching you work your Kubota. She maybe right but I love all the stuff you have added and the work you have done. Did you find your wire? When I ran power to our yard and dug with the backhoe I found the wire, water pipe and it only cost $150.00 to repair and along time reminding me how I found it....... Great Video !
Hello Paul. I just watched this video for the first time and would just like to throw in a bit of advice/ recommendation. In addition to the eye, ear, and face protection that you had mention in the video PLEASE do NOT reach down inside the feed area when putting limbs and branches into the chipper. I work fulltime as an arborist and was just involved in a serious work place accident where a rope got into our commercial wood chipper, whipped around my legs, and pulled me into it. its been a long road to recovery with 24 surgeries dying twice in the O.R. and the amputation on my right leg below the knee. Wood chippers are VERY dangerous, even the small ones will change your life for worse in a matter of seconds. so like I said PLEASE not reach in there and be very careful while operating it. Best regards JJ (from the great state of Maine)
JJ. I've been in business 22 years with only one work related injury. A couple of stitches in my finger. The video is a but deceiving because my arm would need to be double the length to get near the blades but I do appreciate your concern.
Yeah I understand you would need extendable arms haha. But ya just never know, freak accidents happen as they did in my case. Better to be safe than sorry. Currently watching your video of receiving the grapple for the BX.
Send them to my TH-cam mail. I don't read my old email accounts anymore. To many coming in and I can't keep up. Send your questions to me here in youtube and if I know the answer I'll answer them in an upcoming video.
Not really sure how the BX would work with the Hyd feed. I'd have some plumbing of lines to do. Both the wife and I use it and no issues. It's not used much and even less now that we have most of the property work done.
Why did you get off the tractor to move it forward with the ripper? Why not use the back hoe and push the tractor forward? It is a lot easier and faster to use the hoe to move the tractor. That seat would drive me nuts too. Way to much work to change it around. With that seat I would use the hoe to move the tractor as much as possible. The New Holland 2120 I owned had a seat on the hoe. Was not as comfortable as the tractor seat but a lot better than what I saw. Really like the mods you have done on you're tractors. Thanks for sharing them.
Don't the utilities do locating there? Here, one call and anyone that has facilities on the property will come out and locate the buried wires, pipes, etc. They flag or paint on the ground where they are.
Ok I just started watching your channel your amazing so I didn't new that you had got rid of I'd you can really do some amazing mods your amazing man. Respect💪🏻
Thanks. There are safety switches under the seat that stalls the motor when you get off the seat. To run an implement such as a chipper you need to pull the seat up as I do with this BX. In our Grand L tractor the seat simply folds ahead to operate the implements while not in the seat.
Hey Jerry I don't know but maybe your wife is right LOL. I didn't think anyone would want to watch my video's either ;) Yup I found the wire. It can be seen at 18:41 of the video. Got it spliced in and the new fountain and light is running. Looking at it out there now you'd nave say anything was ever touched. Sorry to hear about your finds OUCH! that must have made you made ;) Glad you like the mods I've done and thanks for saying so. Made my day. Happy tractoring and thanks for commenting.
Thanks Scott. The claw really worked out great. Been using it most of the time. As for the chipper. We are really nowhere near any blades. It may look as if we are but in actuality we are far from danger. That being said in order to get the branch's in the chute we have to handle them so there's no choice in that but we use leather gloves and not cotton. Cotton gloves are to easily tangled in the branch's and that can cause a few problems.
Oh ya. I love this machine. It's the best investment I've made in a long time. It's exceeded all my expectations and then some. Like in your case the "B" was just to large for my needs. I have the Grand L 5740Cab but that was just crazy big for my summer work. Your going to really enjoy your new machine. You can see more of mine @ specialtyrepairs.ca
I have a 2014 bx.i love this machine. Had it for about 3years now. I have the backhoe, blade, and a log splitter for it. I also have the mechanical thumb for it. I have added at least 400 square feet to my property, realigned the irrigation ditch and processed many loads of firewood. I do like the ripper attachment that you made, very impressive. I was just thinking about using a cultivator tooth and attaching it to the middle tooth on the hoe. I have a little project in the spring to run an electric line about 300 feet or so.. Thanks for sharing..
Gregory Shaffer Yes I designed and fabricated it. When I did these mods I never intended on selling them but I made the mistake of showing them on here and our web site. We got so many emails and calls we removed all the Kubota stuff from our web site. My daytime work don't allow me with any extra time to produce this stuff right now.
Quite the matching pair you guys are in your matching coats and helmets both of you compliment each other great video thanks were are able to burn here yet so that what i do dont know how much longer namvetseabee
Paul, we recently purchased 3 acres and need to clear some land, move dirt, dig trenches and till soil. BIG QUESTION: Does the BX 25D have enough power to do all this work???? Thanks, Barry
+B M It's a tough call. I don't want to give I'll advice. I don't know the type of land you have. Please try talking to your Kubota representative. I'm sure he or she could offer you the best advice once you give them enough information.
good looking machine! i fabricated a pusher bar to use with my chipper so i dont need ti stick my hand down in the shoot. you should make one for yours
Wow that chipper really takes some large trunks. The ripper looks great as well. Goes through the ground effortlessly. Great job. It was fun to see Mom working with it too :)
I don´t know how i ended up with this video...well youtube suggested it but anyways,i watched the whole video and gave you a thumb up for it because it was excellent my friend.Wish i had the time and patience to do videos like this.......and a good camera for it too ofcourse. Cheers and take care
Really impressed with the claw you built. I have been thinking about building one for myself for a while now. I was also very impressed with how it ran the chipper but I hated seeing you guys sticking your arms down the intake chute. If a branch was to grab your glove as the blade pulled a piece in it wouldn't be pretty.
Just curious if you still like your bx25D. Getting ready to purchase mine tomorrow so I'll proabbly already have it by the time you reply, no biggie. I only have a acre lot but also have a few rental properties that really could use one of these. Was thinking of the B series but think its just too big for what i want. Clearing snow, digging out concrete, moving mulch, etc... Also thank you for your videos, I do enjoy them. Especially the snow. :)
I like the "D" rings inside your loader. Makes for a quick connection point when you're lifting something. I recently had to lift a 350 lb. packer into the back of my 1/2 ton and put the strap around the whole bucket.
Your right. Hard to say due to the soil type BUT I will tell you this. The BX25D will do it. It might not be the fastest in the world doing it but it will do it.
The more I see it work the more impressed I am by the BX25D! Handled the wood chipper with out hardly any effort at all! The backhoe can actually pull the whole machine backwards even with the outriggers down. Amazing little workhorse! Following your recommendation, I went over and subscribed to Bob Kellen's channel and, boy he really puts his through it's paces, too! The Claw (or is it The Klaw, since Kubota starts with a K, you see?) what more can I say, great trenching implement for running underground conduit, cable, pipe,etc.
Truck Shackley Glad you enjoyed it. Kathy bought me the BX for my birthday. I told everyone I'd invent 15 new mods for it and some said it was Impossible. Well to date there's over 42 plus mods. Some of which I haven't shown (yet) the Klaw and Kwick connect is just two of them ;)
Just wondering, have you ever made a 3 pt. hitch wood splitter for a bx25. I dont think the hyd,s are enough. Just wondering maybe a hyd. pump on the PTO would work. Im really trying to come up with one.
Brian Mc Donnell Brian I personally think the BX is really not the candidate for that application. By the time you got all the stuff to have it's own pump plus the time to put into it you'd be better off making or buying one with a good gas engine on it unless it's the challenge your after and no budget considerations involved. Just my opinion sir.
Thanks for you answer. I respect you work and knowledge. I was just hoping to make something I could drive around on my property , but Im guessing a trailer is just as easy.
Brian Mc Donnell Your kindly welcome. It still could be done but the BX is not really the right candidate for it. Thank you for your kind words. Good luck.
Ingenious little tool mate. have not seen similar.Looks like it would be less likely to tear up cables or pipes than a bucket if not sure of location. Greg H.
Brian Mc Donnell Yes and I also designed and built a back hoe quick attach so I could change over from the claw to the bucket in 20 seconds. It used to take 20 minutes before the quick attach. You'll see it in our other video's in various places.
Paul I really enjoy your videos except you own Kubotas. Just kidding. I have always owned John Deere equipment and currently have a Z757 Zero turn and a 1025R. Can you make specialty parts for these type of mower and tractor? I think you have some great ideas. I can make some things but I don't have any welding experience. Thanks for any help.
Well you know how it is, nothing is perfect. All I got to work with is a few Kubota's lol. My friends tell me I can modify a toaster lol. I do mods on other stuff but only in our area. You really need the machine in shop for the custom stuff. I think your wasting your design talents. If you have a mind for them then get yourself signed up for a welding class at your local trade school and start learning. I bet you'd design some awesome stuff. Thanks for watching.

The model number is BXM32. It will take up to 3" in the chipper and 1.5" in the shredder. I think they retail up here for around $3400.
Very helpful to so many with your videos. Thank you for producing first rate mods and videos. I was just so hoping to see you use the thumb you built with that ripper shank to pick up those rocks.

I'm new to your channel (USNERDOC sent me) and I must say you have some real nice modifications. Now all I need is a Kubota!
***** Thank you very much USNERDOC is a great guy. He has an awesome channel as well and he got a Kubota. Time to get yourself one ;)
I love that chipper and tractor
Matthew Morehouse
Glad you like it Matthew. It's a cool system.

Nice set up
Forged?
Nice.. will write to you on FB!!
was dig rite called don't see flags for utilities marked
We don't have that here
Can I buy that claw anywhere? Do you sell them?
Just Picked me up a Kubota BX25DLB! Let the fun times begin! Great Videos.
Great tractor. Congratulations. We sell a lot of accessories for those. Happy Tractoring. www.specialtyrepairscustommods.com/bx-accessories
Don't the utilities do locating there? Here, one call and anyone that has facilities on the property will come out and locate the buried wires, pipes, etc. They flag or paint on the ground where they are.
+B Laquisha
Yes but that's my own wire I'm looking for lol not a utility wire.
Are you gonna mod that trailer you loaded the chips into?
No. That trailer is long gone. It was replaced by this th-cam.com/video/xozw5kn3NiI/w-d-xo.html
Ok I just started watching your channel your amazing so I didn't new that you had got rid of I'd you can really do some amazing mods your amazing man. Respect💪🏻
Thanks Freddy. Some times I actually do them right to lol. Thanks for your kind words and also for being part of our TH-cam family.

Is that claw for sale to the public? or something similar you would recommend ?
Really impressed with the claw you built. I have been thinking about building one for myself for a while now. I was also very impressed with how it ran the chipper but I hated seeing you guys sticking your arms down the intake chute.

I know soil types vary, but is a 4' deep, 350' long trench doable with a BX25D? How long would something like that generally take?
Your right. Hard to say due to the soil type BUT I will tell you this. The BX25D will do it. It might not be the fastest in the world doing it but it will do it.

Good Job. It is nice to see you get your wife to help. My wife helps me out too. It is good to have a good Partner. And someone you can work with.
I would drill a hole in the bottom of your tree trimmer holder.... if it ever sat out in the rain, it would fill up with water otherwise.
I guess we think alike. That was done.
Great video, as always. You should have demo'd your chipper.
I also have Kubota BX25D like the one you used in the video.
Just wondering, have you ever made a 3 pt. hitch wood splitter for a bx25. I dont think the hyd,s are enough. Just wondering maybe a hyd. pump on the PTO would work. Im really trying to come up with one.
Brian Mc Donnell Brian I personally think the BX is really not the candidate for that application. By the time you got all the stuff to have it's own pump plus the time to put into it you'd be better off making or buying one with a good gas engine on it unless it's the challenge your after and no budget considerations involved. Just my opinion sir.
Thanks for you answer. I respect you work and knowledge. I was just hoping to make something I could drive around on my property , but Im guessing a trailer is just as easy.
Brian Mc Donnell
Your kindly welcome. It still could be done but the BX is not really the right candidate for it. Thank you for your kind words. Good luck.
Thanks
You're awesome sir, all that stuff you do man your hard worker
Nope. Still got it.
I’d B using the pole for the pushing of the sticks
Ingenious little tool mate. have not seen similar.Looks like it would be less likely to tear up cables or pipes than a bucket if not sure of location. Greg H.
gopha533
Thanks Greg. It's sure handy to have.
watching you shove stuff into that chipper makes me wish you had sprung for the self-feed model.
Do you happen to know the weight capacity for the bx25 3 pt. hitch?
Brian Mc Donnell
Brian it will lift just shy of 1000 lbs at the 3 pt eyelets.
Thank you, your always a great help.
You really have done some nice things with your tractor, it's obvious you are a very talented person! Thanks for the tips!
Tri Pacer
Thank you. I appreciate your kind words. Thank YOU for watching and commenting.
Hello good vidio is nice to see the little machines
Leveling out your PTO shaft is genius, saves so much stress on the drive-line.
Tri Pacer
Thank you. It do work well like it is now. Thanks for watching.
hi, have you two ever thought of keeping a record on file in your house of where you buried underground wires in your yard?
Yes. Sure have. Well documented actually.
Can I buy that ripper tooth from ya?
Yep, I know I need the bucket/backhoe & chipper. Great video Paul,
Bill Longland
Oh ya. It's great items to own for sure ;)
this was the first video i found of yours that got me started subscribing and watching your movies. :)
Well my buddy I'm sure glad your still with us. Hope your doing well.
Thanks Leo ;)
Do you use that as a lawn mower aswell?
No. I use a Kubota ZG222Z zero turn for our mowing. There's a video or two of it on our channel.
You should teach your wife to run that machine, that way she could have some fun.
+Blackaboe
Why?
Paul Short
Because she seems she has good understanding for such things
+Blackaboe
She really has no interest in equipment other than seeing the job getting done.
Paul Short
Yep - that's the way women are.
It surprises me that she has such enduring patience videoing all that stuff though.
That's some pretty cool add on's you made! they work Great!
Thanks Michael. Glad you enjoyed it.

What about the dense brush in the background? Is that a marsh or solid ground to be able to brush hog mow it?
That property belongs to someone else. We have 2.5 acres here. That's enough lol
Have a good time working on those 2.5 acres. Mr. & Mrs. Short. :)
Wmw?
Question please I want to dig a hole 16 ft long 6 ft wide and 6 ft deep. Can I do it with this unit. Thanks
It will dig it but it's going to take awhile.
I have time... better than paying $100 hour
Very true.
Where did you get the ripper tooth you used on "The Claw"
+R.M. Hobbycrafts
I bought the shank and the tooth at a local equipment shop.
+Paul Short thanks. probably go to the local ag dealer
Did you make that digging tool?
Brian Mc Donnell Yes and I also designed and built a back hoe quick attach so I could change over from the claw to the bucket in 20 seconds. It used to take 20 minutes before the quick attach. You'll see it in our other video's in various places.
this guy loves his kubota!!
+chimney man
Correction: love my wife and two sons. Like our Kubota's.
Paul I really enjoy your videos except you own Kubotas. Just kidding. I have always owned John Deere equipment and currently have a Z757 Zero turn and a 1025R. Can you make specialty parts for these type of mower and tractor? I think you have some great ideas. I can make some things but I don't have any welding experience. Thanks for any help.
Well you know how it is, nothing is perfect. All I got to work with is a few Kubota's lol. My friends tell me I can modify a toaster lol. I do mods on other stuff but only in our area. You really need the machine in shop for the custom stuff. I think your wasting your design talents. If you have a mind for them then get yourself signed up for a welding class at your local trade school and start learning. I bet you'd design some awesome stuff. Thanks for watching.
well done sir nice work.
