@@keithaddis5628 hey … thanks for reaching out !!! Both cutting edges are holding up well. I plow three gravel driveways with it and this is my second year with it. I have no detectable wear and have made no adjustments to either cutting edge and I have it quite low so that it is flexing a fair amount all the time. The tractor came with a 72” bucket and cleared my tire tracks and the snow pusher is 84” so even with heavier snowfalls I am not driving over any loose snow. I would recommend going 12” wider than the bucket on your tractor, whatever size that may be. For smaller tractors Express Steel has shorter and shallower sidewalls too, and larger if you have a tractor that can handle it. I used an 60” XP24 on my B2650 and it handled it pretty well, I was traction limited with the R4 tires and no chains. Thanks for your interest and give me a shout anytime.

@@Vermont_EarthWork That you for the info I have a John Deere 3046R with 5.5 inch wheel spacers it puts the rear tread at 68 inches I was looking at the XP 24x 84 inch one with a back drag. I have a 72 inch bucket also. wasn't sure about the XP30 sounds heavy.

@ I think the deciding factor in going with the XP24 or the XP30 is how much snow you normally plow and the length of your driveway. If it's under 6" normally, the XP24 is likely plenty of volume, if it's more then that then so long as you have plenty of counterweight on the back and your tires are loaded your tractor should be able to handle the XP30. I think it weights about 600lbs ? But don't quote me.

@@Vermont_EarthWork My driveway is not that long and I have a 74 inch 3pt snowblower on the back for large snow falls. The XP 30 Is listed at750 lbs. and the XP 24 is listed at 690 lbs. I am not that far from you I am in Bristol up on a back road.

@ ah … with that snowblower I would get the 24 then. Even tho the weight isn’t that much more you will likely rarely fill the 24 by the sounds. I have a good friend in Bristol. About 2 hours from me. Thanks for watching and the discussion !!!! I just came in from plowing we got 4 more inches last night. Good luck

@@beardedrockinhillbilly Thanks for that info. Can you get a cab on the NS model? They are more money than the DK so maybe that is one of the reasons?

@@Vermont_EarthWork Some of the NS Models you can get a cab on. The Kioti website doesn't show cab model pictures but the model designations are represented. They are in the process of phasing the NX series out with the NS line filling that frame size in its place. You can get a cab on these two NS models: NS4710C and NS6010C, both available in either Hydrostatic or Manual Synchro Shuttle. They come standard with CAT 2 three point hitches, but getting a CAT 1 hitch instead is an option. They also have significantly higher loader and hitch lift capacities. 🚜

@ thanks !!

@@rodgermunson3178 thanks for commenting. I appreciate it. My tractor is 58hp. It's a DK6020SE

@@pacoal Agreed ... best design I have seen. thanks for watching and commenting.

@@mikej9200 I certainly can. Thanks for the question.

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you

Hi and thanks for your interest. These threaded quick couplers are very common on larger excavators and are very reliable. I have had no issues with them yet. I think keeping the covers on them, keeping the threads clean is the key to keeping them reliable.

@@noworriesmate5903 haha yes. It was windy too. Thanks for watching.

@@davidprentiss7667 hi and thanks for the inquiry. The tractor I wanted to replace this with isn't going to be available for a while. I decided to just keep this one for another year or so. Sorry. I would recommend one tho for most chores. I mow about 90 acres. Since the new one isn't ready I just today purchased new chains for the 6020 so I can start getting my wood out to the landing.

Ok, thanks for getting back to me

@ I was asking $44k

@@mikej9200 thank you. More to come soon.

Actually the material from the ditches is primarily gravel runoff from all the dirt roads around my area. There is a mix but where the building will go is close to the bank goi g up to the house and most of that is material from the bank itself which was mostly sand. I think giving it several years to compact however will lessen any affects of some non preferred material. You are right that building on top soil would not be a good idea. Thanks for chiming in. I appreciate it.

I love it too 👍

Glad you liked it. 👍

Good to know. Werk Brau is a German company and like so many other tools and equipment designed and built in Germany generally has a good reputation for being of high quality. My understanding is that these couplers are actually assembled in the US. Thanks for your interest in my channel, I appreciate it. Do you have any ideas for videos you would like me to create?

@ repair videos are interesting, especially if there is a mystery that gets solved.

@ btw, i parked my machine to sea shore and wind blew from boom side, rain flowed the window and water came in from lower edge and broke electronics. That sliding window leaks with high winds + rain.

@tujuprojects thank you. 👍

@tujuprojects interesting. I have noticed that my rear window on that side tends to slowly open as I'm working. I wonder if yours isn't shut tight? I ended up putting a strip of Gorilla tape on the back edge of that window to keep it shut. I have had some water come in from around my door when high winds and rain. It looks like they are all that way I checked that seal on several other new minis at the dealer and they were all the same. I may look into getting that door to seal better and post if I come up with a solution. Thanks again for commenting.

@@tujuprojects I can adjust which way it responds from the touch screen.

Hi. The joysticks are electronic on the 50. Quite responsive but not jerky. It took me a while to adjust from my Hyundai R35z but now I can do some very nice finish work with it. 😊 Thank you. Where are you chiming in from?

My windows fog as well if I don’t have ac on all the time.

Yes keeping the AC on year round removes humidity from the cab air. I leave it on in all my equipment all the time and just adjust the temp to be comfortable. Thanks for commenting. 👍

@@endurocox5467 Hi and thanks for the question. I put about 900 hours on it before I traded it in for a larger machine. I NEVER had one issue with it, which is more than I can say for my new Volvo I replaced it with. Those are great machines, very dependable. Honestly the only reason I sold it is that I was spending more and more hours in it and at 6’2” the leg room was a little tight for me, but that was when I spent an 8 hour day in it. When I first started my business I did smaller jobs and it was a perfect size machine. I would highly recommend that machine. The only thing I would recommend is that you get the long stick and extra counterweight. Both make a huge improvement to capability and efficiency. Go get one, you will love it.

@@Vermont_EarthWork Thanks sir

I plan to create more videos about the ASV machine. Is there anything specific you would like to see? Thanks for your interest in my channel. I appreciate it. 😊

@@KanakaExcavating they must have fixed it because I have no trouble doing fine grading even at full extension. It took me a little time to get used to this machine but now I love it. It has amazing reach, power and is very quiet and comfortable. Just what I was looking for.

@ thanks for the info post more videos i enjoy seeing the 50 in action !

@@KanakaExcavating when I bought the machine new I told the dealer I didn't want the Gieth junk buckets and coupler so I had the new one outfitted with WB coupler, thumb and three buckets. All Werk Brau. I think the tilt alone was around $6k. It's built super heavy. I love it.

@@tehdevo that's odd. Call my dealer, Pete's Equilment. They put them On for me. 8662373189
