We've got a backhoe about twice that weight but that kubota would run circles around it with the modern controls and being tight still. Somewhat jelly.
Watching you move dirt with the kubota I kept thinking a dozer or even a grader would be nice😀. That kubota did handle those rocks well for a smaller piece of equipment
I'm impressed. The backhoe handled decent sized boulders. We used to roll those onto a skid to drag them where we wanted them. Occasionally on a minus zero day we built a fire with corncobs to see if they would split into manageable sizes.
Need to find a jaw crusher that can turn those rocks into useful gravel. Useful for yourself but also a great way to make friends with the other farmers in the area when you can turn the rock piles they have into gravel you have a service that will always have a need.
Great video Squatch 👍 really impressive performance from that little Kubota 💪💪 hate to think what these big rocks wuda done to the plough if u were unfortunate enough to catch them 🤔👍👍
Squatch, in New England the pioneers would use those rocks to build fences and houses. Many of the original rock walls can still be seen when driving in the winter in Connecticut. Your rock piles are a great opportunity for you to build new projects in your copious free time.
Actually this video proves how vital a backhoe and a loader are in a farm. Really like the Kubota it seems to do it's job fine. All I can pick from are old soviet backhoes that need probably the same amount of repair as your CAT D2. But fingers crossed you never know what may appear on the market.
Here is a possible video idea.... How about a service video on the Kubota? It would be interesting to see the proper way of servicing the fuel system, hydraulic system, driveline and finding the hidden grease fittings that always seem to be missed. Just an idea.
Squatch, would you consider a video topic of "Soil 101" for us city folks? I know a little bit about top soil (it is good and important), but why scrape it off first with a bucket and not a dozer blade? May be include a bit on "What is the right tool for the job?", "Dirt Moving 101", or "Tips and Ticks for Vintage Equipment Operators". No matter what, you are still producing great videos!
When you think you're done, IE can't discern the bumps and valleys, it would be a neat thing to rent a survey tool (or maybe buy a second hand one?) and do some finite analysis of the field. I did the same for my brother, and it has helped to do it every 2 years because we've discovered that a section was dipping down. And it turns out that a sink hole was forming there (we pumped clay sand to stop it).
Were is the rd6...... Hi from Australia.... See you soon.... I plan to go to the land of the free.......love old equipment.. Cat .. Massey Ferguson.... International harvester........ God bless from Australia...L
Different purposes. A front jaw bucket (more likely a grapple and forks) on a tractor this size might handle brush but it would definitely not exhume boulders buried in soil.
@@squatch253 Ok thanks. I had a backhoe but traded it in for a tracked excavator. I use my tractor for loader work. Much better for me. However I'm looking out fo an affordable dozer to add to my toys.
Not too bad on rocks is right. Here in New England the farmers built walls around the fields with the rocks and the ground is still full of them. Should we expect some Grader and dozer action when the actual road goes in????
I hope you are going to pull the sod off anywhere you are going to build road. It has been my experience that if you don't you will end up using twice as much gravel.
What The? Dad-blasted "Utube" only just popped up, 22:00+ hour after, Looks like your doing a variation of Sodbustin 'n' Rock Hoppin Nope! just large scale landscaping.
What! The Kubota tractor for dirt moving. I would have thought the Iron Mistress would have done quick work and the attach the Tumble Bug for dirt moving. Whoops, I may have ruined the next videos
@@squatch253 it would probably be pretty involved & expensive adding one to my case 580sk but it would be handy. I just picked up a like new 18" bucket, I only had a 36" before.
RU-vidrs must be getting screwed out of a lot of money when you make a 8:14 min video and they post adds over 35min's long!! because they know we are not going to watch them.
