Someone actually doing the tests properly. Good work

@rzrman5380 Год назад

Great information about wheel weights and spacers . Thank you for sharing daughter and dad .

@ODLife Год назад

Thanks! I have to admit that I was way more interested in the results compared to my daughter!

@jesse1247 3 года назад

I thought this was a fairly elegant experiment and appreciate your having done it.

@geoslay4244 4 года назад

I know this is considered old. But this is a very interesting concept. It would be interesting to reproduce this with a loaded bucket. It would also be informative to do the experiment with the bucket both loaded and unloaded while high and low. Nice job. And for those that do not understand this is directly related to tipping over on a slope go back to physics class.

@ODLife 4 года назад

I had plans to do more tests, life just got in the way!

@lisajohnson8566 6 лет назад

Very interesting experiment and you put a lot of work into that with all the wheel changes. But I would say you got the most bang for the buck with the wheel spacers alone. But what I really found interestering was how truly easy it was to tip the tractor and what pull it took in the stock configuration to accomplish that. If you don't make any changes to your machine you have to be extremely careful raising that bucket and moving. Another great video and we all certainly benefitted from your experiment. Thank you!

@ODLife 6 лет назад

+Lisa Johnson Thanks! It was not too bad. I had the idea to do the video when I ordered the spacers. So, since I knew I would be putting on, I went ahead and did the trails with wheel wts on, then with weights off (left off since I needed them off to take wheels off to put spacers on). Spacers came, I installed and got my trials with spacers on, then with weights on. They really have made a big difference.

@ya472 6 лет назад

Fill the bucket to capacity, raise it to the height you had when you tipped your tractor, and measure the rear tire elevation angle at tipping point.

@ODLife 6 лет назад

+ya472 I think I'm going to pass on that test. Sounds like a repeat Tipover. Lol

@johnbasler4119 Месяц назад

You always need a ballast on the rear 3 point when working the fel.

@mheimbach7867 7 лет назад

I like this video. I have 2 inch spacers from Bro tek and have steel wheel weights on my BX. I know I definitely feel better when on a slope. It was kind of cool to see just how much of a difference they make. Thanks for taking the time to do this one.

@ODLife 7 лет назад

+M Heimbach your welcome! For some reason your comment was flagged as spam so I did not see it until now. Thanks for watching and commenting! I really do feel more stable.

@gkk2001 4 года назад

Good video and work. Of course there are an infinite amount of scenarios that cannot be addressed but this provides a good idea of what each condition offers. I ordered spacers.

@ODLife 4 года назад

Thanks for watching and commenting!

@KiotiCS 7 лет назад

Very cool to see the differences with them on and off ! Curt

@ODLife 7 лет назад

+Kioti CS2410 I wanted to do more conditions. Weight in bucket, FEL in varied positions, and with loader off. I might still check with loader off.

@georgea6403 9 месяцев назад

Great job dad!

@donaldstrishock3923 2 года назад

A very good comparison & analogy on "adapter kit" wheel track stance. Just wonder"why" the manufacturers don't (won't) supply with an option to BUY from them "wheel-spacers". I think most likely they will compromise the structural integrity of the Axle,and give the user a false sense of security, even though the logic presents itself. Of the 3 tractors in the "fleet" 2 have "factory equiped" offsetable-adjustable wheels. The other has "big-balloon " turf tires ( very wide set). Just don't like the idea of "slapping on" some after-market, none-approved- from the factory APPARATUS's. Just to gain capacity, is Always dangerous. Thanks for the great Video Sir and happy safe tractoring.

@ODLife 2 года назад

I resisted to add spacers at first but in all my time in forums, never heard of an actual issue. I also had a chance to ask Neil Messick if they have seen issues in the shop from wheel spacers and he said no. I think that was when he was on My Cluttered Garage.

@donaldstrishock3923 2 года назад

@@ODLife Neil would probably say "yea bring it in and we will fix that broken axle & aluminum transmission case for 3600.oo$, because it's NOT a Kubota part or do they recommend the use of these after-market contraptions "( if you live through it). Kubota & ALL others build & design there tractors to be used in safe limit within their Capacitys---- and DON'T stand behind any "after-market contraptions". This is WHY they manufacturer BIGGER Tractors. I say this harsly because of Two of my associate's losing their lives over a Tractor being Overestimated & Oveloaded .Thanks for the great Video Sir and happy safe tractoring .

@jamesharless5357 3 года назад

Great video!👍

@absocountry 7 месяцев назад

I like how you said we but there is only one person doing everything, not ever even in the video.

@boltonhooks2149 7 лет назад

Very nice O&D, I appreciate your dedication to gather all this data! Maybe for your next experiment you can rig a line to one hook on the bucket, then down to a sheave before it heads out to your scale/winch/anchor point. It would be interesting to see the effect of the spacers, weights, and maybe rear ballast has on one wheel raising up. Just about all of us have tried prying something up and raised a rear wheel right? LOL

@ODLife 7 лет назад

+BoltOnHooks you are right about that! That's a good idea, ahh, my research assistant is not thrilled though! 😊

@cullen901 3 года назад

Great video!

@terrymiller2775 4 года назад

I thought this was very good experiment, looked like a lot of work, lots of questions about spacer, ( 3" i know you said it enough times ) I was just wondering if you had a weight on the wheel weights please? I just picked up a pair of JD weights that fit perfectly and weigh in at just under 50Lb

@ODLife 4 года назад

Barely 50lbs each wheel weight.

@terrymiller2775 4 года назад

@@ODLife thanks

@samj5754 5 лет назад

Nice job on the video and testing. I have owned several Kubotas (at present a BX25D) After running it all of about 10 minutes I knew it was going to be easy to tip. I bought the Bro-tek spacers. I’ve considered the weights also but have wondered about the effects this extra inertia might have on the transmission. Any thoughts on this? Thanks!

@ODLife 5 лет назад

I decided it's no worse than a heavy implement on the back. Have never seen an issue in the forums either.

@TractorTech 7 лет назад

That was a very cool video. Thanks for doing it, I bet it took some time to make. It would also be cool to see how a mid mount mower changes things. I was surprised how much the spacers helped. How wide are your spacers?

@ODLife 7 лет назад

+94BULLITT Thanks! I went with 3 inch spacers. It was not too bad, I got the initial condition 1 & 2 readings before I put the spacers on, then did conditions 3 & 4 the next weekend. We did make sure bucket was positioned the same and the anchor was same distance away.

@natnl804 5 лет назад

It would be helpful if your spreadsheet included spacer widths.

@Will-tm5bj 4 года назад

3 inches he says it 8 times

@travelinthru9519 5 лет назад

Don't take much with loaded bucket even 1 foot off ground

@kengoldbeck6363 2 года назад

Did you make your wheel weights? How much do they weigh?

@ODLife 2 года назад

Got from dealer. About 50lbs each.

@AB2BPA06 6 лет назад

Are those steel wheel weights?? If so where did you buy them. I just purchased a bx23s, and want to add metal wheel weights to mine. I did not want the plastic ones my dealership was offering.

@ODLife 6 лет назад

Nicholas they are the plastic ones from the dealer.

@AB2BPA06 6 лет назад

O&D Life thank you from the prompt reply. Do you like them??

@AB2BPA06 6 лет назад

Where did you get the spacers?? And where they easy to install??

@ODLife 6 лет назад

I do, they give me the little extra weight back there. Here's my install video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hpVKRVlX5EU.html

@ODLife 6 лет назад

Spacers are from Bro-tek. They are a little more expensive than what you can find on Ebay or Amazon but the piece of mind knowing I had the right product for my machine and wouldn't have any hiccups when it came time to install were worth it. Here's my install video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NQfkQpJGZnM.html

@dmarnaud2 6 лет назад

You're a good dad, Maybe you should repeat (have her verify youre work) and make your daughter sweat through the process :-P

@ODLife 6 лет назад

The part I showed was only half the experiment, she was more hands on for the second half. She also did the averages and percentages by hand. We have have made the decision not to have her on the videos.

@dmarnaud2 6 лет назад

Like I said, good dad, I totally understand having children I refuse to let publish on social media.

@jerrymcdonald8122 3 года назад

Duh lol 😂

@LarryMusgrave 7 лет назад

You say "we"a lot, yet I never saw your child bring a part of the test and therefore likely learned nothing and really didn't care about what you did. It would have taught her much more of she was a post of the mechanics of this test and then worked out the math without dad.

@ODLife 6 лет назад

Larry Musgrave we do not want to have our daughter on You Tube, too many creepy men out there looking for children in videos. My daughter actually did all the math by hand. I plugged everything into excel.

@travelinthru9519 5 лет назад

Yep daddy does kids homework lol
