Big news today! I am officially a tractor owner!! I wanted to show you my new Kubota BX1880 and share some landscaping plans with you!!
Hey there! My name is Abby and I recently bought a MAJOR fixer upper house. I am SO excited to work on fixing it up this old house and turning it into my dream home. I can't wait to take you on this journey with me! I am planning to DIY as much as I can and learn so much about home renovations along the way. I am starting out totally clueless so I am sure it will be a grand adventure! Follow along on my channel if you want to see DIY projects, renovating a house on a budget, and I am sure a lot of craziness along the way! I'm just a girl with a drill and a dream.

Please talk to your dad on the importance of using counter weights when using the front end loader.

@sherylmarsh5533 2 месяца назад

Really cool, Abbs!😄

@rustyrogue Месяц назад

The box blade is an excellent counter weight and if her dealer is any good they put liquid ballast in the rear tires.

@billstarr9396 Месяц назад

@@rustyrogue yes, so long as the box blade is attached to the tractor though.

@dparker5948 2 месяца назад

don't forget that when you move heavy stuff with the bucket you'll need weight in the back

Abby I’m a 69 year old handy woman! I do all the lawn and barn and housework. My husband has MS and has been unable to help much at all for the last 8-10 years! Absolutely leave your bucket on! You will use it everywhere on your property! We had big hooks welded on the top edge of the bucket and that is SO, So helpful for moving things! You can use a chain and move almost anything! I definitely would take off the box blade, more sporadic use. RU-vid, of course, is an excellent tool for your tractor questions! Love it! Continue on learning, I learn new skills every day! Take care!

@norman311 2 месяца назад

Be sure to grab a picture of all the serial numbers on the tractor and attachments, for security/insurance. When I mow I leave the front bucket off and remove the box blade, makes it much easier to manuever. Another thing I do, besides checking oil each time and greasing it regularily, is to blow off the dust and grass before you put it away. Last thing I'd mention is that your bucket is for lifting not pushing, they're just not strong enough to be a bull dozer.

Those box blade tines can be flipped over so it wont gouge the ground. That would be the way you would use the box blade when you only want to smooth the ground. The tines are usually used when you want to break up the dirt.😊

Congratulations Abby. Kubota is a reliable tractor. When you use the loader, the heavy loads wil cause th back to raise up without any weight on the back. Enjoy your new TOY.

@kccolby7562 2 месяца назад

Your roof line is awesome! Instead of wood timbers, hv u thought of large (but workable with heavy machinery or someone you may know with beautiful strong work horses ) 😉. They will last forever and be natural looking. Instead of pots, how about a arborvitae row for privacy? Gurl, slow down, focus on finishing that gorgeous house of yours YOU designed and worked so hard on, ponder on these ideas with landscaping especially considering you haven’t lived there yet and given her a trial run…lol. Ignore that eastern urge we have to landscape this time of year. Your living your best life! 🌸

@davemccracken3457 2 месяца назад

Having owned a Kubota for many years, I would highly recommend removing the box blade. Most of the driveway smoothing tasks a box blade was designed for can just as easily be done with the front end loader. The main use I found for my box blade was as a counterweight when I was lifting very heavy loads with the front end.

@jake28061 2 месяца назад

Good choice of first tractor. If you keep up with the maintenance it's going to last you a lifetime. One bit of advice, when you are done with the tractor make sure to lower all of the hydraulic parts, overtime the seals and O-rings will wear out, this will help to make them last longer and if one were to fail and say a cat was to be napping under the bucket he would have a very bad day when it comes crashing down on his little 😊.

@Dreamworld986 2 месяца назад

Take the excess equipment off. Mowing will be much easier without it. And read the comment below about counter weights. Once you learn how to remove the extra equipment you will find it's not so hard to put it back on. Where will you be keeping this tractor to protect it from the elements?

@aeolia80 2 месяца назад

Ahh! My brother-in-law used to work for a long time for Kubota at their warehouse in France. He said it was funny because the only common language of the French and Japanese workers was English and none of them were fluent in it so they had to use a lot of mixed language with French and English and Japanese, lol, so he got pretty good at basic Japanese working there.

I think you should store it at your dads. Thats only a mile or less away isn't it? It sort of sticks out. What a great machine!

@dianewilliams9729 2 месяца назад

Oh, my, in the store it looked rather small but when delivered, it looks pretty big. You can easily do it though. My friend in Kentucky rebuilt an old doctor’s house with about 50 acres and she has a regular Ford tractor that she hops on and goes. So, don’t you just love it? With your working full time and when the sun is really, really hot, it will be a true blessing.

@jeffjahns1974 2 месяца назад

Even with our 100hp tractor and loader - we take the bucket off all the time when farming. Its so easy to just hook the bucket up when you need it and its so much easier to see and work without it on. And yes taking the whole loader off, while easy to do, yes makes it too easy to skip jobs because its a nuisance to put the loader on and off. But the bucket is a non-issue. Good luck.

@user-kf9fv1qj9u 2 месяца назад

@rebeccaburch4837 2 месяца назад

I would place the garden in the area in front of the sheds you are going to remove. It is already semi leveled and probably better soil than the rocky stuff in the back yard. Also, congrats on the new tractor! You will be amazed at how many jobs it will come in handy for.

@dianehall5345 2 месяца назад

Hi Abby from our ⛵⛵ Lakes Region New Hampshire farm. We choose an oversized double carport. It cost around 2K in 2018. You could place it lengthwise on your expanded parking spot to pull vehicles underneath, as well as the tractor. Also, being next to the patio area, it would be a great place to put a picnic table and have shade or be out of the rain on a misty day. We love ours. It was cost effective and does a good job of keeping the snow off our vehicles. We made our carport about 2 1/2 vehicles wide with a good clearance height to the roof. ~ Diane Enjoy that tractor. What fun!

@lauriedunn6198 2 месяца назад

You will not regret having that tractor! We have a kubota with a loader and back hoe. My husband even plows snow with the bucket. He is over here saying to put the scraper on some 4x4s in the shed and encouraging you to practice and you will get the hang of all the things in no time.

@jaredblair3047 2 месяца назад

When you park the tractor be sure to put the bucket and or scraper down on the ground.

@kirbygulbrandsen4507 2 месяца назад

You did a great job, one thing to remember if you don’t have to back up don’t. Try to go forward even if you have to make another pass, the tractor will last much longer by not constantly changing gears. Obviously you will have to back up but just a tip. It will also last longer if you don’t have too many people driving it.

@michaelalexander4331 2 месяца назад

Congrat on the tractor. It will really come in handy for you. Good choice.

Great choice, Abby! You'll be a pro in no time ❤

@Rusty_Nickle 2 месяца назад

You'll get the hang of it. It all takes time. Just a side note if you don't have a ballast box you're probably going to want to keep that box blade on most of the time if you're doing loader work. Otherwise it could get a little light in the back end. Also if you're doing loader work put it in four-wheel drive and keep it in low. Also if you get a chance get pallet forks for it Those things are a game changer. Anyway that's the end of my unsolicited advice. Enjoy your new tractor there's tons of videos on RU-vid to watch about it. And they're awesome little machines.

@edwardroberts2997 2 месяца назад

@Digital-Sparks Месяц назад

Congrats on your tractor, just be mindful when operating, I have been on tractors for 40 or so years and even so I have still found myself in situations that can be dangerous to say the least and potentially fatal at worst. Thankfully there are hours and hours of helpful videos online now that can get you oriented with your equipment and help you avoid making the most common mistakes. God Bless and best wishes!

@Enjoy_Life1971 2 месяца назад

Get it girl!! Congrats on the amazing addition.

@rayeddy528 2 месяца назад

Great choice of tractor. I have a Kubota BX 23 that I bought new 16 years ago. Never had any problems with it . Glad to see you fasten your seatbelt!!! I have a backhoe on mine. Another wonderful attachment. If you take the box blade off you will either have to add weight on the rear or run in 4WD all the time. If you don't when you start downgrade with front bucket loaded, the rear wheels will start sliding, and that is very DANGEROUS !!! Please be careful. It's not a toy !! Stay safe and God bless you !!!! Eddy

@michaelbissen1946 2 месяца назад

Congrats!! Good size choice. You will be very productive with that tractor. Yeah 🎉🎉

@TheForkliftGuySK 2 месяца назад

For sure take the box blade off when mowing. When you lift and lower the mower deck it also lowers the rear 3 point hitch (the box blade) which may cause it to drag behind on the ground. Tip for the front end loader. Get a couple pallets and stack them up. Then lower your bucket on to the pallets. Then use the quick connect to disconnect the bucket. Having it up off the ground will make it much easier to remove and install. Taking the bucket off will help you get so much more clearance when mowing. I’m jelly I want a new Kubota. Maybe next year happy mowing.

@d4short524 2 месяца назад

Congrats on your new tractor! How fun! Now you have to name her 😂 our John Deere lawn tractor I named Skog (it means forest in Norwegian…by the time we mow, the 2 acres are basically a forest 😂🤣).

@AStanton1966 2 месяца назад

I bought my first Kubota about 12 years ago. It was a used BX-23. I traded that for a new Bx-25 then went and got a cabbed B3030 for winter use. Other than a few safety switch glitches on the BX, no issues whatsoever. If I had to make any recommendations: Don't cheese up when it comes to maintenance. Buy nothing but Kubota-brand hydraulic oil and engine oil and hydraulic filters. And if you decide to load the rear tires, look at foaming them before using beet juice. This way you will never worry about tire pressure or getting a flat. And get a couple of utility hooks welded onto the front bucket. They are like money in the bank.

@jamesgreenawalt9713 2 месяца назад

Abby, you can raise the rakes or take off instead of removing the scrapper. Always fold your bucket forward and place it on the ground when parked. It will keep the water from collecting in your bucket. Also lower the scrapper when parked. Takes the load off your hydraulics. Safety factor also if kids are around.

@user-kf9fv1qj9u 2 месяца назад

Great video Abby

@WhoDaBoss-dc4or Месяц назад

You have a long way to go on the tractor but you have a great attitude and that helps tremendously. Take the box blade off to mow and at least the bucket if not the entire loader. In time you'll learn about zero turns and then you'll never use that mid mount mower again. A box blade is a great tool AND a great counter weight. Put it on whenever you want to lift anything heavy with the loader.

@ondenacaraway1309 2 месяца назад

Kubota is a great tractor and I've heard they are very eager to help. You're doing all this stuff and yet you're such a girlie, girl! I think that's why everyone is attracted to your videos! I'm a retired female semi truck driver, 5' 3" and on the chunky side. I was a stay at home wife and mom but in our 50's my husband presented me with an idea, lets learn to drive a big rig and travel, the kids were all grown so that sparked my challenge gene and off we went to school, while running our own business from home. After 12 years on the road it was time. Enjoy life Abbey and do all the challenges you want to do! God bless you and your family.👍❤️👍🚜🙏

@blantona1 2 месяца назад

Just a thought, you could move the garage back (where the downed trees(?) are stacked and then put your garden where you're tearing down the shed. Seems like the veggie garden that close to the house would come in handy🤔😉
