I see that you have the Backhoe adapter installed. I use the R-pins instead of Cotter pins. That way I can take them on and off easier. Good idea about the wheel spacers, especially if you have R4 tires. Next thing you should get is an easy PTO shaft adapter. Your back will thank you. And I agree with the comment about Pat's Easy Change. It's been a blessing.
Could have swapped the front tires around and added offset also. They are dished in on this video only thing valve stems would be on inside which is better anyway but most complain because takes more time to reach them but less likely to rip valve stem out on inside than outside
i love these Trails.. I grew up hiking in these woods back in the late 80's and all through the 90's way before there were any trails there...I cant wait to get back there this spring with my new Specialized Big Hit
Love your pooch helper in the midst of it all 😊 I just ordered some 1.5'' wheel spacers for my TYM to help the snowchains clear the cab mount/fenders. Good video.
Eh merci pour tout l'info, savez vouz la maximum temps que le feu peut vivre, ou jusqua les coals? Avez vous essayer un damper pour le chimney? C'est la meilleur option pour mon petit camper si ca peut doner 3 heur du feu au moins, ci je doit utiliser la minimum temperature pas de probleme.
Avec du bois comme de l'érable, du chêne ou du hêtre, tu devrais être bon pour faire un bon 4 heures sans problème. Et oui j'avais mis un damper dans la cheminée.
I've watched a number of videos on DIY chain saw holders. Your version came out great. I don't weld and it seems a lot of others created their versions by welding to the bucket arms. I am more interested in trying your method. Thanks for sharing.
I don't think the fronts make a difference. But the rear feels a lot more stable. I also had the rear tires filled and this made a huge difference as well.
Hello Jonathan. I just added fluid to the rear tires on our B2601 and went for a test drive yesterday. There was a remarkable difference between the fluid filled, and non fluid filled feel to the tractor. I am also planning on wheel spacers, still on the fence about width, and rear or front and rear. Would love to hear your thoughts, now that you have had them for awhile. We are near Peggy's Cove, so would like to go Bro-Tek as well. Thanks for this very informative video, Ben.
I got my tires filled this past fall and also noticed a major difference, especially when using the tractor at my woodlot. I went with 3" spacers in the rear. I did mine in the front 1.5" but they don't increase stability so i would save that money if i were you. I think that you will be fine with anything between 2 and 3".
Thanks for the video but I think you're nuts! You paid more for a longer cutting edge only to cut some of it off with a cut-off saw you purchased. Man you must be made of money! ; ) I don't like that the nuts protrude into the bucket. I think thats a lousy design by Kubota. What if you want shovel out material from the bucket... you will smack right into one of those bolts.
The longer cutting edge was 150$ cheaper than the shorter cutting edge. My guess is they probably sell a lot more of those so they can market them at a lower price. And they also had it in stock, versus having to wait over 3 months during the pandemic because everything was backordered.
If you look at larger tractors, the bolts protrude into the bucket. It is not a lousy design, just the way it is. Lot easier to change out the bolt on wear blade, than wear out the welded on one and have to burn it off and weld in a new one. I have a CK30 Kioti I just purchased, the weld on blade is worn back into the bucket and needs to be cut out and a new one welded in. The Bolt on Blade from the dealer is $298. It also strengthens the Bucket. The weld on blade on this bucket even has the holes for the Bolt on Blade. The large loader we had at work, the blade was 8ft long and probably 1 1/4" thick, and two guys to lift it. When it wore down, the corners would curl, cut them off with a torch, rotate the blade around and bolt back on for more life. Great job Jonathan on your Bucket up grade.
@@charlieLund-v4r "just the way it is" I respectfully disagree. I'm not against using bolts to secure the edge, but they can do better. They could have designed the bucket with counter sunk the holes and used flat head bolts. I change out mine with button head bolts having the head in the bucket and the nut below the cutting edge. Not the way I stated above but, much better then having a nut and threads protruding out in the bucket. To each his own.
Curious on your thoughts on the longevity of the stove. I just ordered it and see that it's made of 14 gauge steel, which isn't very thick (or as thick as some other units). I plan on using it full time. Appreciate the video.
It was in my shed. But it's written in the instructions it shouldn't be used in a house. So I doubt you'll get many years out of it. Look into the Englander's Black Bear or Grizzly stoves..They're made in the USA and aren't much more expensive than this one but are made with 1/8" plate and just way better build quality overall.
I don't think they are opening up new trails. I think the volunteers there have their hands full just keeping up with maintenance on the existing trails.
Just seems like a "shame " that this "add-on" is not a 100$ option from the factory. So you are just going to have the "old" ( brand new)turn buckle sway links laying around ( worthless) for the next 50years. Just as "BAD" with a 35000$ tractor rig ,there is NO OPTION for telescopic lower flexable lift link arms ; there is NO good substitute. With "quicky-hitcheys " & add-on "sloppy-wobbley-shifty " after-market lower link ends being the "go-to" for many( both a poor excuse) for a positive, safe,secure& flexible attachment for 3point implements. Thank you Sir for the Excelent vidio. Best wishes with all your endeavours.
Hope the axles dont "snap-off". Better take them off before servicing or warrenty work at a Kubota dealership ( have a Kubota also) for this None-approved Kubota modification. My 36 hp 2016 Massey-Ferguson HAS Adjustable "offset" wheels with R-4 tires from the factory,as does the Like size Yanmar tractors-- they are "Built" to "Take It":= NO PROBLEMS, Quality Built right IN. Thank you Sir for the vidio and happy safe tractoring. Best wishes with all your endeavours.
Salut, j'ai le même poêle pour ma tente prospecteur, je ne conseillerais pas de mettre une cheminée de 5" je crois qu'il ne tire plus assez d'air. La fumé sort de la porte à chaque ouverture. J'ai aussi fait le même mod que toi pour le damper sur la porte
I saw that, congrats on the mill! I recently got a new Woody 115HD log loader for the Kubota. I'll give it a try next week. I also got a new Stihl MS500I and a FS561 brushcutter last week. It's always fun to get new gear.
Good video. I modified mine for my sauna build a box on top for the rocks and side tank for water.. Works awesome. Some people said I won't work..... 3 years later still heating my 11ft x 6' sauna quite well.
Thanks for sharing, I'm setting up similar on our l3903, wasn't sure what would be best for switch style or location, our ATVs just used inline fuses but I think it's worth the investment for a solid switch panel and fuse block now that I see how well it worked and was able to be integrated... And couldn't agree more, the factory headlights SUCK! I needed front lights that don't get blocked by the bucket, and rear lights because we also have the backhoe on ours
There is a small vent in the door but it's not enough. Just drill the hole bigger and add 2 more holes. I had the stove parts laying around from a warranty claim, otherwise i would've just drilled more holes.
Bought a BBQ stainless vent similar to your door vent. Haven't installed yet. I found just lifting the handle abit to crack the door stove works great. Door can be closed once bed of coals. I drilled 2 more holes to help for now. Also gloves come in handy around any stove I find
This has ignited a new dream for me. I've always wanted to own forest land. It's awesome that you're developing the property from scratch, in the middle of the wilderness, sustainably!
Thanks! Don't give up that dream. This didn't come easy for us, nothing was handed down in life. Me and my wife started together 18 years ago both making minimum wage and after years of hard work, getting a better job, making sacrifices etc, we finally could buy this. I also owned a 23 acre woodlot in Nova Scotia worth almost nothing because it was so remote and rugged, but it gave me the itch to own something like this. Fast forward a couple years, and with some luck, i bought a 7 acre oceanfront lotthat needed a lot of work. 2 years of freezing to death in a tent in -15°C weather and i saved up enough to buy a camper. A year later, i sold it because i wanted to move back to quebec at an unreal price. Everything is possible when you put your mind to it 😉
I'll have more videos coming soon. I have a lot of machinery to haul up there and will be building cool things ( I'll haul my tractor, sawmill, firewood processor etc).
Didn't you find that the back plate was a little too wide and it didn't seat flush on the back side? I had to trim mine on a similar setup (padeye) to make it seat flat against the backside.
