Were a RU-vid channel to show people who were and weren't born on a farm how we do things.
Were creating this channel to first hand our operation and processes we do with the equipment we have and the space we are not a very big farm but we are slowly growing our land available to us and getting some new equipment. Were located in central Minnesota and are dedicated to doing things as natural as possible to stay in touch with how to conserve land and water while feeding people there will be videos of our farm and some of our good friends that we help bale hay and help with other things.
@@SmallFarmGuys super helpful. I was expecting it to take a couple hours. It still did but that's bc I was having to track down tools. The zirk fitting was clogged by the factory grease. Never seen that before. You're a shade tree hero, my man.
Trying to learn more about these skidsteers before starting a new job. This is the first video I've seen that actually teaches the basics of the machine. Thanks!
I just inherited a RTV X1100C with 330 hours on it, I seriously doubt the oil has ever been changed.... Wish I had that done when I took it to the shop to get the injectors cleaned, when I got it, the fuel tank was full of bugs, hay leaves, and dirt.... what are the negative results if you leave those two Shields OFF ?? My acreage is just level lawn, not a rough and tumble farm like it came from.
Those shields are to stop stuff from getting up in your engine and breaking things if you have level lawn you could probably get away with out the but that’s a do it at your own risk kinda thing
You did a pretty good job on showing people how to operate the switches you forgot one switch though it's the little box you lift up to disconnect the bucket other than that it was great
There are two drain plugs on the engine oil pan. The front plug will make a huge mess, oil runs down the belly pans. Try to use the side plug when possible.
Awesome video I’ve had so much trouble connecting hoses on my old bobcat. I switched it over to the flat tappet hydraulic connectors to fit must of the attachments out there. So I learned to shut off the machine and depress all the hydraulic controls several times to release the pressure. ALSO THIS IS IMPORTANT connect the two lines on your attachment together as soon as you unhook them. For one thing it protects them from damage and dirt. Two it equalizes the pressures on both sides of the cylinders. And I still push my guts out. Some aftermarket connectors do not hold tolerances and are just too tight!! Thank you, Andy
I’m renting one of these next week and have never operated one before. At 77 years old there are still some firsts in life and your video was exactly what I needed to see. Thanks so much and keep up the good work.
25 ftlb spec for the drain plug... my local meineke torqued it to 200+ lbs and the next shop wouldn't touch it for liability. they had to change oil by siphoning it out the engine bay with a pump. didn't know about the oil cap thing, you learn something new each day thanks for sharing
Do you know how to flush out the hydraulic oil? Is it safe to use other hydraulic oil because I don’t have Kubota oil only available was chevron hydraulic oil. And wondering if I can use it or how to flush it out?
@@SmallFarmGuys change my hydraulic oil now it can’t go into gear or something it not going forward or reverse. Is there like a release valve or something for the hydraulic?
