Been using the versa turf for three years now and really not impressed with them. They dig into soft ground and tear up pathways much quicker than the other two types. Also have very weak sidewalls and don’t give traction without doing a lot of damage. Ok on a farm but landscapers stay away from them.

Kubota does not offer a hybrid from turf and r1 because the r14 is a hybrid of r4s and r1s thus the name r14

What a great idea! Thanks for putting this out here.

Been thinking of doing the same thing with my rake. Wanted to see about pushing the rake instead of dragging it. I’d have to have a different set up on my loader since the rakes a 3 point instead of 2” receiver

what's the name? where can i buy?

Great video I’m pretty stoked. I just got my 2016 bx2370 a month ago. We bought our acres last year midwinter and not having a tractor. Made snow removal, well you can imagine. Your video has shown me the capabilities of this robust little tractor. Thanks for the info.

He did a good job and nothing wrong with user a front laoder for a work bench.

Son, You may as well have a 2 foot hog because that's about all your cutting each time. Not sure if you are scared but run that thing You aren't going to hurt it. Quit being scared of hurting it and while I'm at it go forward not backward !!! I have ran a tractor with a 7 footer and if I only did as much as you inone pass it wouldtake me a year to cut the 100 + acres that I do.

Had a badly leaking bx23s. Bought this kit and it installed easily. Works and no leaks. An affordable and quality fix.

I absolutely need a cab tractor!!

I have to agree to a point. As soon as the center is filled with grass/sod they spin. Yes it was in 4x4 , yes I had the diff lock pressed and even going down hill I managed to almost get stuck in my field. I tried finding an R1 tread the same size and like some sort of dark tractor magic, they don’t seem to exist.

Just placed an order. Thx for the video and kit. Very much appreciated

Ethan...your video rocks. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge of the unit. We are so glad to hear it meets your hauling needs in multiple ways. 🙌

How many pallets can you get on there

Hey man, thanks for the video. Any reason you couldn't put swivel D-rings in the deck? I'm using this to haul my Corvette to the track. Thanks!

I have 3 acres is this too big for 3 acres ?

You need to learn to use jack stands, They might save your ASS one of these days.

I’ve got r4. It wasn’t really a choice with mY tractor or I would’ve probably went r14. But the r4 are fine I haven’t got stuck yet and I do like them for loader work which is primary function for my tractor and farm scenario. Big picture is there are lots of tractor tire choices and to choose what works best for your application.

How you doin Ethan? Thought I recognized you. The Frontier pusher I got from you works great- love the back drag in front of my garage door. I too have used a rear blade plowing snow on a gravel drive but if the ground is not frozen, you'll be plowing dirt. Peace.

You are so dumb, there aren't enough words

Great job.

After scrolling through your videos I realized why you make the recommendation that you do. You feature mostly JD series 1 and 2 along with Kubota B and BX series. These are commonly known as subcompact tractors. When tractors get to JD series 3 through 5 or Kubota L through M and the front end loaders can actually lift a real load those extra ply ratings become very important for that load carrying that you dismiss out of hand. If you had much experience with compact through utility tractors you would be aware of a fifth tread design called R2 it is similar to R1 but deeper lugs for soupier slimmer mud like in a rice field. Which with 5 tread designs put the versaturf directly in the middle of all around performance a true "happy medium " which is fine for subcompact. But among 3 series and up, you can customize towards a particular purpose, and for my purposes an R4 industrial is the best compromise. I would even go so far as to say, as long as you limit yourself to selling subcompacts your recommendation is legitimate. But if you're thinking that applies to series 3 to 5 you will be doing your customers a disservice. Messick's, Good Works Tractors, and Tractor Time With Tim all have good videos explaining the tread design differences. There is also one by, (forgive me if I get the channel name wrong as I can't remember it as well as the others) NH Trailers and Tractor, in which he mentions the tread design in passing, but brings in ply ratings and soft vs Hard rubber compound. I'll just finish by relating tractor tires to road legal vehicle tires. You would be ill advised to put LT tires on a Camaro or a minivan, in the same fashion you would be equally ill advised to put a P metric passenger tire or a Z rated racing tire on a dually pickup. Buy the tire that best suits your purpose.

So cute

Great video I have a question for you kubota b7200 I’m looking to install a front quick hitch I have seen photos of ppl putting a bx2750 snowblower on them but can’t find any videos of them actually working… would you recommend a bx2751 or something else I’m new to the tractor world…???

You obviously haven't tested both tires. The R4 is superior. The R14 is a marketing gimmick.

Other than wood deck that will go bad (will need annual used motor oil/diesel application) and iffy robustness of film between steel/aluminum, this is one beefy, spare no aluminum trailer. Good stuff.

Orange tractor bad tires....... Humm

I currently have "the worst tires" I still will never get my machine stuck unless it is buried up to the frame. the other thing is you will most always have plenty of traction, at least as much traction as the HP can handle. The crap tires have also with the 4x4 have given me plenty of traction w/ a 33hp tractor to move large round bales and full hay wagons done steep hill in a pinch. these best worst tire videos are mostly a waste of time the difference is minor. the tractor size and HP make the biggest difference.

Thanks for the video, this looked to work well pushing a lighter load. I have an area that I want to clear that has stick, rock, roots etc , are the tines heay enough for that type of job. Plan to use with a Kubota L25

"I can't drive there, the leaves are wet" --- R4 Tires

They are absolutely the worst tire. Completely useless

I prefer hdaps

Your wrong

Is this good for weeds?

I have a kubota 4060 with loader and backhoe I was wondering if you can upgrade to heavier axles just to beef it up

Had a couple questions before I started the installation. Call Ethan, he answered promptly and gave me very detailed instructions. Installation was straightforward. I put two 1/2" washers between the plate and each of the fluid lines which kept everything tight. The process to connect and disconnect does take a bit longer, but no leaks so far. Lift the engine hood up to give yourself a little more room to work when attaching the hoses. Someone else on you tube suggested using Pex hose to keep the covers clean when the loader is on. Cut a piece about an inch and 1/2 and slide the cover over each end. Will see how it goes, so far all is good.

Is there a website that I can order from?

The reason I went with R4 tires is because of durability. My boss bought brand new Ag tires for his tractor the very first day the brand new Ag tires got a flat that I plugged, do you know what punctured the front Brand new Ag tire? A little stick lol I couldn't believe it. I have 435 hours on my JD 3025E I have the backhoe on with the BXpanded Root Ripper and a brushcrusher grapple I have been doing nothing but clearing trees, bushes, and stumps. Right now I am driving over a lot of stumps some of which are only a inch or smaller in diameter while carrying full trees, a backhoe and my fatass, Not 1 puncture has happened YET I say yet because it's only a matter of time but if I had any other tires I'm sure I'd be out of plugs by Now? Whenever you buy a tractor you should know what you are going to be using it for I knew I was going to be clearing a shit ton of trees, bushes, and stumps so I wanted tough tires although I also use my tractor for gardening 4x4 comes in handy

Nice, relaxing video. Love those finish mowers. Used to mow subdivisions with them. I did like the rear discharge better. Didn't sling rocks and debris back at me.

Excellent video comparison, your description has helped me a lot. I have both implements and an 800’ overgrown gravel driveway. My bad for it getting that way. It looks nice mowed but I’d like to revive it and likely add new gravel. It seems the way to go is to plane it first then rake it for the reasons you mention in your description. What do you think and thanks for your help!

I would’ve bought this kit if I didn’t already buy some connections from Summit. Do you think your aluminum plate would help and work with the summit fittings?

You will run into problems at the points where steel meets aluminum. That creates corrosion that is visible with a white powdery surface rust.

Ethan is Awesome ,I bought this kit from him and it Is wonderful, It totally fixed my problem (actually Kubota problem) He is a very outstanding up and coming business man,His attention to detail and customer service is second to none, If you are having trouble with your BX2380 loader coupler leaking This will fix your problem.

I was 100% positive someone would say something about using the loader as a workbench lol. But i came here to comment about cut quality with it on its highest setting. I rebuilt an old Farm Star (Worksaver) mower and it didn't cut the greatest at 4 inches where i like but 3 inches is amazing! It too is a rear discharge.

Where can I get this entire kit

What radio is that and are you happy with it ?

I assembled mine upside-down, seemed easier to let gravity hold things in place, maybe something you want to try!

I would not rely on the front end loader hydraulics to keep the mower safely elevated while crawling underneath, but that's just me.

Ive thought of putting one on the front of my bx25d.if its on the loader, it clears away any potenial sharp sticks that can puncture a tire.have thought of make one for the back hoe as well.can reqch under trees, clean ditchs,sharp embankments etc. After seeing how well your s worked.i going to build my own landscape rake. Thanks
