Hi Mike. I am from Ontario. Looked into a Kubota but salesman did not respond to my emails when asking questions, so I bought a Massey Ferguson. So far very happy.

I agree Kubota’s are great. I have an old HST1700 with a loader, snow blower, and flail mower, been a great machine. I also have a GF1800 mower. Went shopping this spring and stocks were low with all the pandemic buying. I ended up with a Kioti CK4010HST TLB. So far I’m impressed, the loader is plenty strong, filled full of stone and handles it with ease. Backhoe and loader very smooth, loader hydraulics could be a little quicker, but the controls are great. The one thing that I was surprised the most about, is the two pedal HST Controls. I have to say I prefer them to the treadle or rocker pedal. I enjoy your videos, maybe add a little Kioti action if you have a chance!

That Kubota still looks new. I like the Stihl products. Husqvarna weedwhackers kickass. The Bush-hog mows with authority! King-o-mower! Got snow in Colorado Springs. Nothing like smooth hydraulic controls! And quick reconfiguration ability. Nothing beats salesmanship and knowledgeable support....period.

I dont know anybody that owns anything kabota that doesnt just love it. They definitely have there stuff together. I often us a an L2350d 4x4 with a 5’ brushhog And that little tractor impresses me every time i use it. Its just a good little hard working machine. Stay well, stay safe and yall HAVE A DAY

Mike, I feel that in my 69 years on this earth, I have pretty good instincts. Kubota was smart to enhance their brand by partnering with a passionate guy like you. You really know your stuff and have honesty in your evaluation. 👍👍 Two thumbs up Brother.

Nice job at Explaining the versatility with the Tractors and features!!👍👊

All thing being equal among manufacturers... its the people who work for other that make the difference between success and failure ... thanks for sharing your experience ...

I feel you on the "I better quit thinking" comment! As you were panning across the knob on the hill, I was thinking the same thing...nice place to spend some time and enjoy the sunsets! The older I get, the more important that becomes.

WHEN YOU STOP AND TOOK A BREAK OF CUTTING THE GREEN BIG FIELD I SAT BACK LOOKING AT THE SUN AND THE SONG MOST PEACEFUL ( I LOVE IT ) THANKS AND THE SONG SEEMS TO MATCH THE WORK YOU ARE DOING

i have the same quick hitch on my bx2380 and absolutely love it, my bx2380 is over 2 months old and every other day i use my kubota it amazes me, wish you would do a video of the bx23s when you change oil, hydraulic fluid and greasing it. thanks morgan’s i always look forward watching your videos you guys are such a blessing to watch in this crazy world!!!!

Nice post, Mike! I have to agree that Kubota is a top notch brand. When I was looking, a little over a year ago, that MX was right and the top of my list. Ended up with a Massey 1755M because Kubota didn’t offer a cab...yet 😢...and they were/still employing a DPF. I could fix one of those problems in an L, but not the other. Had I known about the introduction of the MX cab version, it would’ve made that decision a LOT harder, though. All in all, I’m happy with my Massey, but as you pointed out, I probably would’ve been just as happy with the Kubota (if it had a cab! It’s cold in the winter blowing snow on that 700’ driveway) Keep up the great work, Morgan’s!

We ❤️our Kubota 5100. It was a great choice 5 years ago and still is for us. Nice video 👍🏽

Mike I have a 1981 L2550dt Kubota and it has 1900hrs on it and still going strong. When ever I need some parts, the dealerships parts department is always pleasant and knows there equipment in and out and are very knowledgeable. You just can't beet that !

As a former Kubota sales rep, they really are a class act with a great product!

Hi, Mike.... Good to hear you guys got a good rain... wish we had that in the SF Bay Area... Since you like to hear how things are in various areas, you might be interested in our recent weather.... We had a significant heat wave over Labor Day weekend... 90° plus for three days or so... Today, were finally back to a more normal 60° trend... That's not really newsworthy, though... The really noticeable thing today is that the smoke from the area wildfires has circled back over the Bay with a vengeance.... Can't smell it where I am in the East Bay, but the higher concentrated layer of smoke makes it look like daybreak at 1:45 in the afternoon.... Good times ! ? ! Gary

My brother lives right in front of a cemetery in the city. They’ve been doing so much development up on the mountain that all the deer are crossing the turnpike and are now living in the undeveloped part of cemetery right behind his house. He’s been feeding them they truly are beautiful animals

I've always said it doesn't matter what brand of equipment you buy. Dealer and company support is the most important thing. You can buy the best peace of equipment in the world. If the support sucks it isn't worth owning. God bless

After 28 years with my L3450 I’m waiting for a new L3901 to be delivered next week. I’m a dedicated Kubota owner and while I may be one of those people you talked about that has at times pushed the limits of a compact tractor, I’ve always been a fanatic about care and maintenance of the tractor.Thanks for sharing your experience.

Glad to see you back with Kubota. I started following you when you had the L3901. Now I have one, mainly due to those videos! Keep up the great videos!

Its Kubota Time ❤️🌳❤️

What you love about Kubota is what most of us that bought RK hate about RK... the people, knowledge, and service (or lack thereof). I'm not a gambling man, but if I were to guess, I bet that played into the decision (at least somewhat) to part ways with RK. Don't get me wrong, the RK equipment itself is quite capable, but RK really needs to step up to the plate with their service side of things if they want to continue to play ball for the long term.

It's easy to sell a product you believe in, and I am by no stretch of the imagination a salesman. Enthusiasm can be contagious. Also, folks who follow up on their promises make a huge difference.

I have been buying Kubota skid steers and excavators for my rental business. They are great machines and everyone loves them. Next purchase is a KX080-4 ... lots of request for that. Just have to find it in the budget

Ok, Mike! I had no idea my PTO shroud lifted up. Mine was stuck on my L3901. So many times I fought with that shaft ! THANKS

I am glad to see that you are happy about the Kubota tractors. Maybe you could get them to get you a mini excavator to try out.

Borrow pit area looks great - fantastic gain of more flat usable area - agree with decision to slope back and no wall...cost doesn't justify it.

I’ve gotta quit thinking, lol. That would be a beautiful spot for a cabin. “Come spend a weekend with the Morgans in the outdoors”. Yea, that’ll work! Of course, that would have to wait until the pool is finished. 💚💜💙❤️ Have a Blessed day, y’all (that’s Southern for all of you) 👍👍👍👍👍

Morning Morgan's! Beautiful area up there where you were mowing. I was thinking the exact same thing. Perfect area for a build. Tell the family hello and be safe. Have a day.

A good local dealer really makes a difference. I'm lucky to have one. Ginop in northern Michigan. A great experience buying my LX2610 this summer.

Truly the "Best" channel there is on RU-vid! Thanks for sharing all your projects! Very informative and great content...

💥 I would have to agree! The Kubota guys are a passionate bunch. However I’ve met a few dealer who also sell big combines as well as Kubota compact tractors and they are less interested in making a sale on the small stuff. *Olsons Power Equipment in North Branch MN is an excellent dealer!!* 👍 Keep on tractoring! 😁

Couldn't agree more my son has a BX2670 and his only complaint is it is not a model he can mount a backhoe on otherwise no complaints.

A lot of fiddling around, but Mike I must admit that building pad is looking good. Great job! Now just make sure to include the pool in the build...lol

Never standing still Mike Morgan, my man. 👍 Stop thinking, you spend money when you think, lol.

Just about any man Would be thrilled to have a shiny new Orange Kubota tractor. I know I would, I only wish I had enough land to justify buying one. I had some Stumps to pull and grading to do in my yard a few years ago so I bought a B21 Kubota backhoe bucket loader, Did all the work I had to do around my yard and then sold the machine for just about what I'd paid for it. I kept it for about 5 Years after I was actually through with it because it sure was handy to have but the weather was taking its toll on it so I reluctantly parted with it. It was a great machine.

Kubota good and I still liked the RK 37 I think was the number good mid size tractor,I think it was mikes favorite of the 3

Hi Mike , I am a equipment technician retired for medical reasons .But a Kubota guy had 9 in our fleet . Engines second to none thats why so many other equipment companies use them in their equipment. Anyway my opinion the grapple attachment is a huge letdown to me. The one you had with the other arrangement you had was so much better though out and much more functional. Anyway always enjoy your channel and opinion and love your family and Hunter is an amazing guy ! Take Care be safe and Happy!! 🇨🇦 Craig you friend from south west BC Canada

Mike is that good that the camera falls off the land plane and keeps filming him going up the driveway good job mike

I bought a Kubota as my first tractor after doing much research and have not been disappointed three years later.

I would say number one is the ac and heater

Nice day today in southern Indiana. Taking brush to the landfill and working around the yard

Beautiful video shots, well done!

Hello Morgan's I have a bx2380 with a loader, a mower and dirt box. It does great but one more thing I want is the quick hitch. I'm getting to old to be wrestling the dirt box to hook and unhook. Plus I would like to get a few more attachments. A chipper and a post hole digger. The only thing about my dealer is there so far away from me. They do have a good dealership and parts are well supplied. Thanks for sharing see you next video

Mike the best way to drag ur driveway is a plane blade. Driveway would look better and less work.

Great video Mike, you’re doing a great job with the Kubota equipment line. You’re honest with your videos and you really operate the equipment like it should be used. You maintain your equipment and it in return does the work it was built to do 👍👍!! Thanks for sharing with us and for sharing your family and projects around your property. Keep up the good honest work and videos.

won't ever be able to afford one but do enjoy your knowledgeable use of your equipment.

A flail mower with a slight offset would be the ideal trail mower for that little tractor

A few years back, when I was thinking of buying a tractor, I found your channel and a few others. You were running a different brand at the time. But after watching a while and seeing what jobs each of you on the channels were using them for, I took the advice that the dealership--the quality of the dealer, and the relationship--was at least as important, if not more, than the brand. I ended up with a BX23S. Orange didn't have quite as much loader lift capacity as the Green brand, which had me leaning Green initially. But I got two different vibes when I visited the dealers near me. Green just wanted to sell me a tractor and move on to the next customer. Orange wanted to know how I intended to use it, how much property I have (which isn't much), and what I thought I might eventually want to use it for...long term plans, in terms of future attachments and such. In short, the guys at the Orange dealership wanted me to buy the right tractor for my needs, not just any tractor. I've been happy with the choice. And some of the credit for how I went about choosing I owe to you, so thanks.

Pool Mike! Pool first!

A GOOD QUICK HITCH MAKES A HUGE DIFFERENCE. I LOVE MINE. I HAVE THE IMATCH FOR THE JD 1025R. GAME CHANGER!

Bldg site looks great, I am sure the builder will appreciate that. Melissa must be taking good care of the BX, it looks like it just came off the showroom floor. Enjoyed the video.

Thanks for view , what a beautiful spot , and Yes , A cabin would be amazing there , Hello to Hunter !!!!

I am so glad you told about Buckin' Billy Ray Smith.... my gosh he know his tree cutting...... I would never even attempt anything like he does.... good channel

Mike, thanks for the update. You are one of the guys keeping me sane while living the expatriate life outside of our country. We've mostly been a Ford and Deere family throughout my life, though we have had and used other tractors from time to time, including Kubota. The quick connects are a huge time saver and improvement on implement use. I haven't looked at the other brands, but danged if those don't make me want that Kubota.

Mike i started watching 6 months ago i was off work thank the MORGANs for some fun in a crazy world.

Absolutely agree with you, Mike! I can only imagine what the guys see who work in equipment rental places. People abusing equipment and using it for purposes for which it was never intended. I hear this all the time. I do like Kubota, and I agree with you wholeheartedly on the hydraulics. I have used Deere, and the smoothness of the Kubota is remarkable. Enjoy the equipment, and keep up the great work, as always! 🚜🚜🚜

Living the life my friends.. Great video.

Nice video, Mike. Great explanations and overview of the tractors you have and the relationship with Kubota. I'll have to say, I was immensely disappointed earlier this summer at one Kubota tractor store I visited. They didn't know much about their tractors on the lot and were not interested in "talking tractors" at all. They could tell you what they have and the price, but little more than that. If I were working as a salesman at a dealership (from a car dealership to a tractor dealership, to a tire dealership), in any downtime not with customers, I would be familiarizing myself with every feature, option, and benefit of what I was selling. I'd be reading brochures, checking forums, watching videos, and scrolling websites. The sales people at the dealership I visited knew less about their tractors than I did, and were less than helpful.

4 months already? Time flies

Interesting comments on Kubota hydraulics. I think some of the older compact tractors might have just picked off the shelf components (valves, pumps, etc.) so you get a functioning machine but not ideal controllability. My 2000 Kubota BHL has some quirks in the backhoe hydraulics that I bet they have fixed. Mike, you have a rare perspective having operated different brands of newer tractors. Also I like your respect for all compact tractor companies. The Korean and Japanese companies as well as John Deere are doing a nice job designing the modern compact tractor I'm sure they all offer good value. Having spent my career in heavy equipment, the thing that always stood out with customer feedback was dealer relationships. They goes a long way toward customer satisfaction for any product.

Cabin, hmmmm, great idea, cant wait to see it! "Doing things you shouldn't be doing with a tractor" sounds like an idea for a video.

Sweet pad!

Great video 👍🏻 ordered my BX2380 yesterday, should get it by the end of next week 😊, I’ll be able to start having fun like you do 👍🏻

Quit thinking... Got pool ahead!

Good morning, Morgan’s! Stunningly beautiful morning down here in Kennesaw, Georgia! Mike, great video on the tractors. I loved the comment to yourself about needing to quit thinking while admiring the potential cabin site. Lol! Have an excellent day!

Thanks for your open opinion on the Tractors. You have a great week.

Great shot of the setting sun from the bucket of the Kubota Mike, thanks for another great video. Hello Hunter and the girls.

Nice job you do good work.

here a idea Mike. you talk about the low hanging limbs. i bought a 2 man basket that is made for pallet forks. perfect for reaching low hanging limbs that you can't reach with a pole saw. only problem is it's a two man job. one to drive tractor and one in the basket. but it really works out well. have a great day.

Good Morning Morgans. Watchin this channel has solidified me wanting an mx6000 with cab

Hey Mike , I also have two Kubota tractors , and love them . I also recently purchased two Kioti tractors , and they are really heavily built Tractors , and you get more bang for your buck . They both are awesome , and I could't be more satisfied with their power and ability to get the job done . Love watching your videos every day , stay safe and healthy Morgans .

Yeah, what I see of it I like the "old orchard" area too. Seems to be quiet and peaceful, I'll bet the wild turkeys and deer like it too. I could see a spring gobbler make his strutting area there. Have a great day.

I think a person does need two different tractors. One for woods work without a cab and one for cleaning snow in the driveway or other loader work in the yard. Good video. My brush cutter has been on for a week or so so I can get all my trail making and mowing done.

Mike, please keep thinking @ 12:30 I’d love to see you put some off grid little cabin from all the surrounding wood you have. I’d be on a plane from So. Cal to come give you a hand, just tell me when. Been sub’d for awhile now and I look forward to your videos with the family. Keep ‘em coming...Have a day!

Thanks Mike, Has it been four months? I've always been impressed with kubota since the 80s love the four wheel drive. Sometimes I forget how much work goes into putting these videos together all the camera set ups and editing, just want to say thank you Central California watching

The quick hitch

Good morning Morgan’s, figured I would try to start watching you in the morning when I’m working out, see how this works out instead of waiting to the afternoons

I drove thru Butler last week. I bought a used Kubota tractor in Saxonburg.

Great job Mike. A Cat and dozier could not do better. Keep it up!

"Head back up to the *hauss"* You got a little Pennsylvania Dutch in ya, Mikey?? Have a Day, Hunter!!

Well in all truthfulness Mike, that was a no b,s report on two really useful tractors for work on a property like yours.

Great equipment easy to use and Durable!!

If you ever run out of space. The orchard would be a nice flat area for stacking wood on pallets or those wood tote things. If your able to go down there with a smaller trailer or forks.

Hope you got permission to run Melissa’s tractor! 😂 Have a day!

I love It, and the #outdoorgans , ya’all are great . I’ve been watching for years, the one attachment I’m surprised you don’t have is a bucket or 3point hitch for moving all the trailers around, I have 4 on my property and between the QH and the bucket hitch I hardly need my truck the move any trailer , and I can get them in really tight spots ... keep it up , can’t wait to start watching the building go up , just finished mine Have a Day. 😌

You did a really good jop today i like your new video today good jop

Good afternoon Morgan's loving the videos as always and yes that spot would be a great place for a "cabin" nice and quiet away from everything else. Also just showing off my past weekend projects that my oldest son's helped with using none other then Kubota equipment..65 skid steer and KX-17 mini excavator digging a small pond on our property here in southern Michigan.

The Orchard area looks like a great place to fence off and have a couple of horses do the grazing. I don’t know if anyone in the family rides 🐴, but your trails would be an excellent place to ride horseback. Would love to have all those trails here in the Uk for my wife to ride our Exmoor Ponies 🐴and myself on the bike 🚲.

Good morning from MidMo! Chilly out. I watched most of the video from the screened porch but decided to finish up back inside. Starting to feel like fall out there. Kinda thinking about what deer season might be like, and the video list is starting to include successful hunts from 2019. Even sorta kinda seeing some tentative football on TV. 2020 is weird, but some things are trying to crawl back to something like normal. I bet the open ROPS on the smaller (lower, narrower, and shorter) tractor is a lot more agile on the trails. There’d be a lot less anxiety about catching the cab on one of the learners. When you get in the field, you might wish for the bigger cutter, but getting there would be less fun. But spending a little more time in the old orchard isn’t an entirely bad thing. Thanks for the discussion about the characteristics of the tractors and hitch. Your comment about needing to stop thinking was hilarious. Mike Morgan in a single phrase! There are always more things that we could do, and want to do, than we can do and should do. Some of these have to be prioritized later on, after the things we must do. My list includes some shed improvements, raising and graveling around the shed, running power and water to it, wiring the little cabin for electricity, putting two elevated blinds in, and maintaining a lot of fence. You can tell which one of those activities is both more urgent and less fun by which one I put last! Y’all have a good day!

"RRPC" is Shaping up! and Great Job on the Upper Area, Have a Day😎👍🇺🇸

Hey Mike I have a hauling business here in Nova Scotia and I haul a varity of tractors for cutomers. I agree with you about there being many great tractors out there. The only issue i have with tractors is I personally dont own one and I druel everytime i deliver one to customer. I hope to own one before my days are done, but for now i will live though you and TTWT.

Yes, that is where Kenny would put a cabin. ❤️😥

Mike I enjoy all of your videos but to be honest I'm looking forward to your next wind storm so we can watch you cutting and skidding those big logs up out of the bottoms. Good day to all.

Yeah Mike, I think it’s a really good idea that you stop thinking about that cabin. LOL I liked the Kabotas. The two problems I had with them was the mower deck removal/install, (too complicated) and I wasn’t a big fan of the heel/toe operation of forward/reverse.

That old apple orchard would make a great spot for a little cabin or another deer stand!

You don't have to move the slope forward and lose the open space you gained. Moved the crest back for a more gentle slope for mowing. It appears you have room to do that.

We use Kubota tractors and implements exclusively on our farm (except for implements they don't carry like small square balers). They always work and our dealer is exceptional when it come to service and help. We won't use anything else.

I think you’re right about most modern tractors being pretty well designed and built, they’ve definitely come along way in the integration of the components is done really well now. My biggest problem is with company practices. And that’s where I kind of like Kabota more now. I’ve always been a diehard green fan, not for any legitimate reason other than it’s just what I’ve always loved. And I still do, but some company politics are really starting to bug me in the bigger tractor companies. On a big farm you’re paying three $400,000 a unit for some of these bigger tractors and now everything is electronically on it and there are hundreds of sensors on these things and all of a sudden you’re running and your tractor shut you down telling you you have air number blah blah blah and they don’t give you access to that software or manuals telling you what that is and you’re basically forced to go back to the dealer. If you have a huge combine in your 40 minutes from the dealer that’s an incredibly expensive trip and then to pay a mechanic to get in there and diagnose it and charge you thousands of dollars to replace a bearing that’s getting warmOr something stupid that’s an office sensor is pretty ridiculous. Part of farming and successful farming is knowing how to fix your own equipment because you can’t afford to Pay the dealers tens of thousands of dollars a year to do basic maintenance that you could do yourself, and it’s kind of like they’re just rigging the system we are forced to pay dealers to do all of your maintenance and repairs because it doesn’t tell you what’s really wrong it just gives you an error code and then you have to go to the dealer and pay for all that trip that downtime wait in line until they’re ready to get to you and so on plus the cost of that repair which they’re going to charge you a ton of money to replace the bearing, if they would just give you the code book you could know it was a bearing and you could buy it for 20 bucks and pull a few bolts off and swap it out yourself. I could understand if you had a maintenance. Or they provided maintenance for three years under warranty and all that but it’s just making the cost of owning a big tractor astronomical. It’s kind of late pick up trucks, they don’t advertise them often but there are $25,000 pick up trucks out there still in there just basic work horses, but what you see in the ads are the 60 and $70,000 trucks with custom leather dashboards and everything else that’s what they’re pushing on people. The problem is a few years ago they change the law to wear for some reason tractor companies are exempt because other companies aren’t allowed to do this, your car companies not allowed to withhold the codes and specs and all of that on you just to force you to have them serviced your truck or car but tractor companies are giving an exemption and they’re abusing it, and when farmers show up to their state legislature hearings to answer questions on it, it’s not the tractor companies even showing up, it’s lawyers from Apple and Google, And that tells me that this is a political control measure that a certain side of the political aisle likes to do to control and manipulate everything and they aren’t very pro farmer and would love to send these jobs overseas to other countries if they could and personally I think it’s pretty tyrannical and needs to be stopped and I’m very upset that some of the larger Treacher companies who are playing these games and even though I grew up loving them and being a huge fan of the brand as well as their products I have a serious problem with putting money into companies who are doing this to our farmers and intern our country, I think it’s wrong, I think it’s criminal, and I think it’s anti-American and tyrannical and I think it should be stopped and if politicians aren’t gonna do anything to stop it I think the consumer should so if I were to go out and buy right now, There’s a really really good chance that my equipment would be orange instead of another color. On another note, I agree about Kubota service. I don’t think they have perfect products all the time and I think they’ve had big imperfections in the past, but what I see from them as a company is a lot of redesign and they pay a whole lot of attention to their customers, it’s clear that they’re reading the emails and the messages from people and what they do and don’t like and they’re making changes accordingly which means their products going to continue to get better and improve and companies like that are priceless

i,m always looking forward to see your videos,they are always to short as far as i'm concerned.keep up the good work my friend !

Mike I enjoy your videos I just can't wait until the new building goes in see the new videos have a day
