FACE-OFF: Dirt for the dollar challenge | Kubota LX3310 vs Kubota SVL97-2 

I was thinking that too. Swap operators could have made a big difference. Garret was prioritising speed over full buckets - but the 20 seconds it would have taken to get a full bucket would have easily paid off in doing half as many trips. My B2601 I can get a pretty consistently full bucket, and I can see the heaped bucket from the operator position. True, it spills a lot if you drive full speed - and that may have been part of the problem, but I think I recall Neil having an accumulator on his which might help. The reality is that they're very different machines, and not a lot of people would be cross-shopping a $90K track loader against a $30K tractor. Fun all the same.

I use my b2601 with the backhoe for my Concrete business. Digging footers spreading gravel dirt etc.

Box blade or land plane... the tractor will get it done. Land plane is easier for finish grading.

Yup, Dad’s fault all the way! 😅

The visibility is different. I volunteered a fair, and the compact tractor was my preferred machine to move stuff since you can see on all sides of you, unlike a tractor.

Not sure about other operators but whenever I’m doing front end loader work the tractor stays in low range. Of course this would have worked with this video.

@@kdegraa For this model tractor. My L4060 has 6 ranges, and Medium in low works perfect for loader work for filling, then high for transport, but my B2410 is low range only for this work. If I put the L4060 intt low/low it will dig itself a hole trying to fill the bucket.

Gotta b2601 bobcat 864 tracked. I don't even bother with the b2601. Have a construction company and 76 acre farm. So all scenarios we encounter. We actually have less money in the bobcat it's used with 2300 hours. Tractor was new

Some tractors have a lot more flow than others.. sometimes you can upgrade the pump . There are tractors that only flow 10 gpm and others that are 25 plus

It wasn't 20ft deep closer to 16 maybe 17ft. You can't dig directly underneath the hoe the entire length of a pond without ending up in the pond so I'm assuming your saying you went 20ft deep with the front bucket with the length of the pond only being 120ft without getting it stuck??? Cool story bro

$30k over 5 years 7% interest, $600 a month, $35,642 total. $91k over 5 years 7% interest $1,802 a month, $108,115 total. That went from car payment to heavy truck payment.

I haven't seen a loader for that small of a tractor with the dampers. The dampers are expensive. Roughly $300 for the low end ones. 2 needed for the most basic setup. Also, the dampers need to be protected and it's hard to find a good place for them on a small loader.

I do have accumulators on my tractor. My impression has always been that it keeps me from spilling since its less jarring.

@@fhuber7507Thanks to idiot RU-vid deleting my link to Neil's video from about a year ago where he installed a WR Long accumulator kit. Sorry I can't point you directly to the video.

He does know how to use the tractor better than that, he's been in other videos showing that. I think when any of us rush we stop being good operators. At the end of the day, the video was just meant to be fun with a little education along the way.

I'm sorry but manufactures recommendations don't mean jack when your manhood is at stake competing with your Dad. Go kid go!😁👍💯

@@aspitofmud6257 , if his dad didn’t work for Messicks, I doubt he would allow his son to put that much stress on the machine. I agree with you, I’m routing for the Son as well, but let’s be real, this channel is used to show what the machines can do. This gives the consumer a bad example of how to use this tractor. I own one, I know what they can do and as I stated before, it puts way to much unnecessary stress on the machine.

Hahah why can’t you run in high gear? What sort of stress? That recommendation is for homeowner that don’t know how to run equipment.

@@paybax , that is quite possibly the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. Why have specs and limits at all. Just do whatever you want, right? Edit: I never said you couldn’t run the tractor in high gear. I just said you shouldn’t do it while doing loader work with a full bucket.
