Leveling a Field With the Kubota B2650 

Thanks for the kind words! Glad the videos help. We are no experts and we make mistakes but we learn from them and move on. That box blade is awesome and does a lot of work. The B2650 does far more than we expected. Very happy we bought it. Terry

Thanks Timothy!! Glad someone is getting use of our videos! We love the Kubota and that EA box scrape!! Keep watching there will be plenty more videos coming on the tractor and what we do with it and the new implements we buy. We are already coming up with modifications we plan to do to the tractor. I am an engineer among other things. Always trying to make something better, lol Terry

Thanks for setting us up with the perfect match!! Terry

@@ForestToFarm Ted you need to get em a tree knocker Downer too!

Sorry that was for Ted

Thanks! Nothing like doing your own work on your land!!

Thanks! We worked until about 8 pm last night because it was supposed to rain today through Wednesday. Was hoping for a good soaking rain. Now it looks like we may get no rain at all. You just can not predict mother nature. She's going to do what she wants to do. Terry

Dear Brian, Thank you very much for your hearted response. Next time let honourable father have some fun while you shoot the video. Kind regards.

Hello! Haha maybe I should have let him break it in. In my defense though, he did get to do 95% of the work with the skid steer. I'll let him break in the next big toy we get. Thanks for the comment! Have a good evening!

Dear Brian, Thank you very much for your comment; remember dear boy that with Seniority comes a lot of privileges which I dare say you will enjoy in due time。Kind regards.

Thanks! We should have bought that tractor 2 years ago. Its hard for me to spend money. I grew up with very little so its had an impact on my life. The plus side is I save a lot and am debt free! Terry

Same here, I'm 71 yrs old and grew up with little. I could not get a job after high school, no one wanted to spend time training you because of the draft and the Vietnam war. I didn't get my first car till I got out of the Army in 1968. I'm waiting for the same incentives you got on the Kubota. Did you even think about buying the backhoe attachment?

Yes we thought about a backhoe. However we have some huge trees that need a larger more powerful machine so we figured we would just rent the mini excavator every so often and do all the heavy work with it. That saves the Kubota. I hate to over work it. It would do fine on small to medium stumps but they are easy with the mini excavator so we just wait till we rent one. Some day we will likely get a backhoe but for now its on hold. We have a lot of cash flowing into this project. That box blade is amazing and really does a great job! Terry

Thanks for the compliments. We want all the equipment you mentioned and then some. Just gotta spread it our over time plus we need our barn to store it all and that's gonna be a while. Thanks for watching! Terry

Thanks! Terry

Thanks! We had fun doing it as usual. I would rather be on our land working hard all day until the sun goes down than a half a day at our regular jobs. Working our land is like playing all day long. We never ever get tired of it. Terry

Thanks you. It is going to work out we just have to get through this busy time in our lives. We don't ever give up hope. We just keep taking small steps toward the goal. We will get it done. Terry

It will likely happen in the future! Terry

Thanks! And thanks for the suggestions. Always interested in what people like to see. Terry

Hey Dave! Thanks! Ha ha, it helps when there are two of us for sure. I was actually very tired that day so it could have been a little better. Plus with the bright sun you could not really see the screen. Sometimes you literally point the camera at the subject and hope for the best, lol. Terry

The box blade is amazing. The one we bought from Everything Attachments works great. Built like a tank! Terry

Hey Douglas. First let me tell you we are not experts on the subject but we do learn pretty fast. Its tough to answer. A lot depends on the soil you have. If its hard and dry it will probably take a more aggressive approach as in setting the teeth down deeper. If your soil is more organic fertile soil that is loose then I would start out just gently scraping the surface to see how things go. Then if you are not getting the results you want you can always go deeper. If you go to deep to start off and the soil is soft as you go up and down on the uneven surface you may cause more holes than you already have. If you have a lot of high spots it might be good to just hit them first and attempt to drag the soil into the surrounding holes. Also make passes in one direction than change direction and go over it again and continue changing directions if possible. I think that tends to help even things out better as opposed to just running in one direction continuously. Gotta get some work done! Good luck, Terry

Thanks!! Glad to have you watching! We are cut from the same mold, ha ha. We have our little differences but never a real problem. Life does not get much better than to be building your own paradise with your son. Terry

Forest ToFarm TERRY, I LIKE WHEN YOU CALL HIM ( LiL GUY ) Haha ..... AGAIN AWESOME CHANNEL, KEEP ENJOYING 1'ANOTHER & MAKING THEZE GREAT VIDEOZ AND ( I'LL ) KEEP "WATCH'N & LIKING". ( KNUCKLE 👊🏼 BUMP ) FELLAZ .....

Thanks we really appreciate it. Hope some people get a good laugh and then maybe learn a thing or two every now and then. We love being out there and the video work is fulfilling as well. Terry

Forest ToFarm WELL IT SHOW'Z IN YOUR WORK ETHICS & THE INFORMATION YINZ LIKE TO PROVIDE ON WHAT YINZ ARE DOING -or- TOOLZ YINZ ARE UZING. And IN THE JOKING & FEEDIN OFF OF 1'ANOTHER WHILE WORKING. ( GREAT VID'Z & GREAT CHNL )✌🏽👍🏽...

Thanks!

They are standard size tires. For our use I think they will do but I love the look of those oversized tires! Terry

Yes that is the plan. We run two small businesses and we have been swamped with work this year. The money is great but we have so little time for our property. Its gonna happen. Terry

Pretty sure it does. We actually never use it. If you are on a parking lot or flat location then its level with the ground but in a field and on our land its so up and down that level with the tractor may be far from level with the land or actual level with the earth.

Is it a level or the rods that once set stop the bucket from tipping towards the tractor when having a load up high. Took me a while to figure it out and set it on my 2601. Was told it was auto levelling the bucket but it’s not it’s for safety.

@@ForestToFarm Same here, never use it and it is easy enough to see level once you are used to the tractor.

@@cantonracer1 Yeah it just takes a bit of practice. Terry

@@dmaifred Ours will not stop the bucket from dumping on you. It only tells you that the bucket is level with the tractor itself. I once flipped a load of wood chips onto myself in a skid steer, LOL! Had to dig myself out ha ha. A person can over confident and that can be dangerous. Terry

We bought seed for last fall. Then work got so busy and we had a lot of rain so it never got planted. We decided to plant it now even though it may not last the summer. We just want roots in the ground now for soil retention and building healthy soil. We put down Winter Wheat, Austrian winter peas, Rye and Crimson Clover. We are so busy with trying to get our homes going that the land is on hold. Once we are living there things will ramp up and land health will be priority one from then on. Healthy soil will make everything else we are doing healthy. Thanks for the comment! Terry

Also I have some vegetable seeds from around 2008. I never throw any seeds away. So we are going to plant some of them randomly around this field and see what survives and possibly thrives in that condition. Kind of a companion experiment. Terry

We don't have a trailer and we bought the grey T-shirts for our electrical contracting company. :) Terry

@@ForestToFarm very informative thanks for the video I still think the grey t-shirt thing was very funny. All good best wishes stay safe from the great state of Texas

Thanks! Ha ha I misunderstood you. I assumed you were serious and you would be surprised how many people will attack you for getting something given to you on a youtube channel, lol. Terry

60" Does a great job. The B2650 can handle it. It only has 4 scarifiers on it. Some have 5 and that might be a bit much but not sure. Terry

We went with the 60". It covers the width of our rear stock tires and then a little bit more. It only has 4 cutters so that makes it less aggressive and it works great on our tractor. We have hard red clay and this baby cuts it like butter. We could not be happier with it. Terry

Terry

OK

It does does look pretty flat in the video. It's a pretty steady slope that had a couple of decent drop offs and stump holes that had settled. We wanted to smooth things out and make it where we could mow it/maintain it without feeling like we were off-roading haha.
