Kubota

Hi I would like to know more bud mine gets blocked regularly down in Australia very dusty down here

You’re welcome. I’m sure it’s not as good as what the dealership would do but maybe so, don’t know. But you don’t have the machine down for days waiting. It takes about 30 mins including getting the air compressor set up and charged. Thanks for watching!

@@panhandleplainsranchservic9425 I just finished but I only had access to a small compressor and didn't have the genie but it made a huge difference. I'll do it again when I'm back at my shop but for now I'm much cooler. One thing I did add to the process was to close off all of the front vents except for the round one that points at the windshield. I stuck my leaf blower over the one open outlet and it blew a decent amount of stuff back out of the heater core.

Whatever works best for you. Sure beats roasting alive in the machine

I found it to be a 4-5 hr job to actually get to coil on my svl95. Ended up cutting a ~1.5” x 6” slot on both sides of the evaporator coil. Now I can clean it in less than a hour. Use small wire brush and compressed air and vacuum running. Let coil dry out over night!!! I just use AC foil tape to seal it up. Works great. It was 103 in Texas last week AC air 50 degrees coming out back vent.

I have the same issue with my slv95, the problem is the door seal, supposedly the new model slv97 doesn't have that issue anymore.other the that I'm happy with my skidster

The tire machines have a different system and a whole lot better cab on them. We have an SSV 75 and have no problems as well. From what I was told by a kubota rep the machines were designed by two different teams all together. One day the SVL machines will have a better cab on them. But until then this is how we do it. Thanks for commenting and watching!

You’d be surprised how much dirt gets in. The cab doesn’t quite seal to the floor the way it did when it was new and the door seals are about done also. Out in west Texas the dirt is very fine and gets into basically everything.

And for the beard I’ve been letting it grow just cause it looks good

@@panhandleplainsranchservic9425 Makes sense. I had some tractor work done last Summer. The guy had a 2 year old closed cab Kubota tractor. He kept it cold. Opening the door felt like standing in front of an open refrigerator. Ha ha

Brush cutters like this are better for cutting heavy grasses and light/moderate brush where as mulcher a are capable mulching much larger material and leave a better finished product but cost 4-5x as much.

You know I’ve had hydraulic heat issues with the KX040 in the summertime here in Texas. It’s mostly when having to track a long distance or just running the absolute daylights out of the arm. I only run an auger or danuser t3 post driver on it for implements. The hydraulic cooler and available capacity is way to small to run any kind of rotary implement in the summer here. Other than that it’s been a great little machine. If I chose again I would have gotten the 57, just a little more machine but the weight required a different trailer. As far as using mine for clearing, yes, with a thumb it makes a great little clearing machine. But again the 57 would have made a better one. Eventually I’ll just get an 80 and call it good. Can’t go wrong with the Kubota machines, they have been good and the dealers are pretty good about getting them back running asap if they break down, which the only breakdowns have been DEF systems on my 95. That’s getting old, fast.

I believe it’s from the free music on Apple IMovie

I ran it on the SVL 95 in this video. The cutter is standard flow only and the 95 puts out 23g pm per the spec sheet. I had the standard flow setting on its highest level so it should have been 23gpm. At the time of this video I didn’t have the mulching head yet so some of the materials I ran over in this video were probably a little much but the cutter handled it all just fine with zero damage. There is a big difference in the way the 75 runs the cutter vs the 95. You don’t always need high flow I guess.

Glad you enjoyed the video. If I were to get a bigger machine than the SVL95 I’d go with the Takeuchi for sure. Thanks for watching.

Yes sir it’s a gorgeous place. Beats the desert views of New Mexico that’s for sure

You’ll like the svl75. It’s a very capable machine

For every 8hrs of run time there’s about 2hrs to dedicate to maintaining the equipment, not including breakdowns.

Currently have the Quadco reversible knives on it. They have been pretty good. Have to keep them sharp.

Depends on his goal and the tools available, it could be. Not the quickest method with those teeth but he's doing a good job of pulling a lot of the roots. Near the end, there's a forestry mulcher taking care of the brush piles.

The machine is very much a adapted to the project. On a selective thinning job the excavator does most of the work. It piles and feeds to the mulcher. Space is also a liming factor in this video. There’s a drop off on one side and a fence on the other. The operator of the mini ex has been running equipment for 40+ yrs so I’d have faith he knows what he’s doing. We know what we are doing I guarantee it.

The 95 has 5.7 GPM more standard flow and it’s a noticeable difference in very tall grass or larger underbrush. For just regular mowing the 75 uses less fuel and is easier to transport. I prefer the 95 just due to the extra power it has.

Yes. Cleaning the air filter is one of the most important things you can do to keep the machine running properly. When it’s that dry outside the dust and plant fiber is terrible.

That what the property owner wanted.

Can’t go wrong with the bike handle style. Have used them for years, lots of years. I used to run Husqvarna only but once they sold out to the big box stores the quality went down. Stihl has been very good equipment, but Husqvarna makes a better harness for carrying the trimmer. I run the Stihl .105 round line, it’s red.

@@panhandleplainsranchservic9425 Thanks

You’re welcome thanks for continuing to watch the videos.

@@panhandleplainsranchservic9425 👍

It’s a Kubota SVL95-2 HWC compact track loader with a Loftness BattleAx 61” mulcher with Quadco reversible knives on the drum. Also runs a Loftness CoolFlow on the roof for added hydraulic cooling capacity.

Thanks for watching. Yes we sure did find some snakes. If memory serves me correctly we saw 3 copperheads on this property. That’s just what we saw. Probably a whole lot more that we didn’t. In all last year we ended the existence of 9 copperheads in about a week. Had one come across the toe of my boot on a job. Have to be careful out in the woods and in any place that’s not cleared off.

You are correct, if it’s in the scope of work that is agreed upon before the job starts, I’ll process it to sawdust if that’s what the customer wants. In this case, the area I’m referring to is out of the scope of work and therefore not a paid item to clear. So for me to spend time, fuel, wear and tear on my equipment for no gain makes no sense. The area that was processed down considerably more was in the scope of work. They are going to excavate the entire area and install a sanitary sewer line and the other area will get a 4’ diameter storm drain. If it was the backyard of a home or a future lot the the developer wanted to showcase, the scenario would be different. Thanks for checking us out. Take care.

Than you

Yes they are. They can all go in my opinion.

Believe it’s an XR and just the default video settings

@@panhandleplainsranchservic9425 I’m upgrading my iPhone. Those videos look amazing. Thanks

I’d work all night if it was cool enough and could get enough light to see what I’m doing well. Pulled a lot of all nighters in the oil business. Lot of 36 plus hour shifts also. The 12 acre cemetery has a marker that lists 1818 as the birth year. That’s over 200 years ago. I like to mow them. I read the markers as I go by and some of them still have the printed photos of the person buried there. Some are 100 years old. Some of the monuments are large and extravagant and some are simply a rock with no information on it. We try to do a good job for the families that come to visit and also for the ones buried there that never get any flowers on their graves anymore. That’s why I read the names to myself as I go by. They say you die twice, once when you leave this earth and then the last time your name is spoken.

Thanks for watching. I try not to run over a lot of cactus cause 1 turns into 100 when all those pieces take root again.

Farther down the creek it was. I needed up crowding some of it out and then the dozer came in to work on it pushing that hillside down into the draw. I’ll admit I’m not that good of a dozer operator, just haven’t spent a lot of time on one. So it’s faster for me to knock it down with the skid steer and then roll it in with the packer. There will be some very nice houses on this when we are done so it needs to be packed properly.

@@panhandleplainsranchservic9425 Makes sense.

Normally it would be done with a dozer tho. It’s here but it’s also on another part of the job and I can keep up pretty well with the skid steer so I just use it in addition to the dozer. You can move a lot of dirt with a dozer pushing and skid steer picking up the windrows.

@@panhandleplainsranchservic9425 A Skid Steer is perfect for fast cleaning up behind a Dozer. I've only got a couple of days experience with a Skid Steer but they are neat. I think it was a tracked joystick Bobcat? Can't remember. I'm glad you're wearing hearing protection. I did a stupid thing in my 20's using a hammer drill without protection. In one day I got permanent nerve damage with constant ringing in my ears. There's no cure. Good job!

I’m at a 50% loss in my right ear already from oil and gas work. I’ve got the very faint permanent ringing already. I make sure to wear hearing protection most all the time with anything machine related. Have to keep what I have left.

no es cortadora de arboles hahah es cortadora de no mas de 4 pulgadas de ancho , venden mas grandes

Yes the headache rack was from a friend. Was for the previous year model trucks but some 3” channel iron fixes the height problem. The newer cab is 3” higher than the 19 models. Really want a full replacement but they are either backordered or very expensive. The hood is up. Cell phone booster got left on for about 4 days and completely toasted the battery. Was trying to get it set up to charge when it started pouring again.

@@panhandleplainsranchservic9425 Understood. As long as it protects the driver it’s all good. I was wondering if this was the truck that struck a deer 🦌! I’m pretty frustrated too with supply issues. I think it’ll be better next year. No new truck this year. Anytime there’s lightening I’m inside or in a truck, especially out in a field. Ditto hunting. I like to hunt in the rain but not with thunderstorms.

The red truck is the one we smoked a deer at 70 in. It has a full replacement on it and it still sheared off the bolts on the driver side of the bumper and sprung it back into the driver side fender just below the headlight. Had the bumper not been there it would have been much worse, probably and air bag deployment. I don’t mess around with the lightning too much myself, seen too many tank batteries get struck and burst into flames.

@@panhandleplainsranchservic9425 Please do an update of the regular cab when you get the brush guard installed and to show the new headache rack. I’d like to see the whole truck in profile. And I would love to see a short ride on a bumpy muddy dirt road in 4x4 if you get the time. Be careful! Thanks man

I bet we can handle that. Thanks

Anytime. Jus got to my home away from home at 11pm. Have to be up at 5:30. Take care

@@panhandleplainsranchservic9425 May I suggest that construction guys like us make up a small percentage of the population. I'm not sure of your objective and goals but more truck reviews might interest more regular guy viewers and yours wouldn't be the typical luxury optioned trucks. Heavy Equipment reviews are also interesting to the average guy even with no experience in the trade. Thanks. Edit: I could have phrased that better. Just some ideas. I don't have any professional RUclips experience.

Truth be told, I really don’t have an objective for my channel. There’s a lot I would like to do, reviews, product features, more on the equipment that we run, etc. It really boils down to time. I usually run 14-16hr a day 6/7 days a week. I need to review the K5500 I own. It’s a cool truck, along with all the other trucks and equipment we have. One big plus is a feature yet we just did with Kubota Tractor Corp. I’m hoping that will be a big draw to my channel. They came out and interviewed me and spent 2 days filming and asking us for input on the machines. It was a literal dream come true. That kind of stuff doesn’t usually happen to me. I’ll do my best to get some more working man reviews soon. I really appreciate your feedback and please continue to do so. Thanks again!

@@panhandleplainsranchservic9425 Kubota is a big deal! Congratulations. I hope to see that in video. And having been a supervisor for one of the best (if not the best) gas exploration guys in the business is very impressive. Aubrey McClendon was brilliant and legendary. What a tragedy. You're a business man who owns a lot of expensive equipment. Respect! In many cases guys who test review luxury trucks either borrow them from dealers or are reviewing personal vehicles. That's great but you bring a unique perspective. You're working trucks and equipment hard and that's very interesting.

Thanks. Chesapeake was an excellent company under Aubrey. After he was ousted from the board it changed and took a downturn. It was more personal when Aubrey was there, you felt appreciated. The new management treated everyone as just a number. We also looking forward to the Kubota video as well. They say around May 20. As far as any equipment review goes, I own what I review. No borrowing or lending. Just my honest opinion on the product. I’ve never had a luxury truck, closest one to luxury is my 2019 that’s at the top of my page. Nicest truck I’ve ever had. I just don’t really have a use for all the electronics etc. All the cameras and detectors are nice but it takes the true skill out of driving. The world is becoming devoid of truly skilled drivers. Most company semis are automated shift or automatics now. Guys can’t shift gears anymore. I’d rather have a 6speed stick behind the engine of any truck I own. Thanks for keeping up the conversation I enjoy it !

I usually only buy the work trucks. They don’t seem to have near the problems that the next trim level trucks have. The ride is actually good for such a short wheelbase truck. Fuel mileage is 15mpg plus on the highway and empty. Truck pulls well and has plenty of low end power. I also have a 2015 Silverado K2500 crew cab 4x4 6.0 that has 160,000 miles on it now. Still use it to pull a gooseneck. Had to put some helper springs on it as it aged but it’s probably been the best truck I’ve ever owned. Never had a check engine light and still on the factory brakes. (Hard to believe, I know) it’s a work truck package also. Then we have a 2020 Silverado k5500 crew 4x4 diesel WT 12’ bed. It rides like a lumber wagon. Horrible. But you put 25k on a trailer behind it and it rides decent. Lots of power with 4.30 gearing. Thanks for checking us out !

@@panhandleplainsranchservic9425 I really appreciate this response and would like to ask you a couple of questions later. Subscribed. Thanks

Ask away any time you like. Thanks for the subscribe!

@@panhandleplainsranchservic9425 As a hunter for decades I'm regularly on deeply rutted sandy, muddy, and washed-out logging roads. Towing isn't a requirement so I've bought Tacomas and Frontiers for maneuverability but size has always been issue. I'm most interested in the Silverado 2500 Double Cab Standard Bed 4x4 as a good compromise in cab size and because the 6.6 gas OHV doesn't have the complication of turbos or cylinder deactivation found on 1/2 tons. It seems like a more simple rugged truck. I know ride quality is subjective but I'm wondering if I spec it out at 10,000 GVWR, no heavy duty front suspension (like camper/snowplow prep), and 17" or 18" wheels (not 20's) maybe I can get a reasonably comfortable ride on and off pavement? I like stock. I'm not interested in lifted or leveled trucks with huge wheels/tires. I would mount larger tires on the stock wheels that would fit the stock suspension but that's it. Also I'm familiar with the F250 Tremor 7.3 but it's only available in the crew cab. And I prefer GM's IFS over Ford's solid axle.

The 2500 will ride better than a 3500 and I would suspect that the overall vehicle length between the reg cab 8’ and the double cab 6’ is very close. I have run Ford/chevy/dodge. They all have their one selling points. I run chevy for the long haul, I keep the trucks basically forever. Lots of guys say that straight axle is the way and for their application it might be. For what I do, the IFS has given me 0 problems. But I run bone stock. Factory size tires, no lifts/level, straight from the factory for its whole life. I work construction/ oil and gas in Texas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico. Been in some pretty rough places and very bad lease roads. That’s where my 2015 k2500 started it’s life. 160k later, all the front end is still factory. Al lot of it is how you drive it but the rest is leaving all the factory suspension geometry alone. As for the 6.6 gas it’s a vast improvement over the 6.0 in every capacity. Now the 6,0 is basically indestructible so we will just have to see how the 6.6 does, we have 30k on it already of 75%tow and 25% highway/city. Hasn’t been to the shop yet, no check engine lights.
