Thanks for watching and appreciate the kind words

I only operate on my property so no OSHA risk. 😜😜 Where is it located? I looked briefly before heading home and didn’t see it Thanks for watching and commenting

Wow that is awesome!! I will dig through the menus to look for it!! Thanks!!!!

I tried that. It was off already. Turning it on made it Beep going forwards or backwards. Turning it off stopped the Beep for moving forward but it’s still beeping when traveling in reverse

@@ahbuildingafarm Ah nuts, your right. It just turns off the forward one.

There are about 4 or 5 different manufactures. Several also have a hydraulic switch, like a tractor 3rd function. If you were putting a hydraulic pallet fork on the TH35 you would need to find a 3rd party 3rd function kit. Some of the manufactures sell it as an option but Land Pride does not. Land Pride does have an option for a check valve that helps keep the angle set against the pressure of pushing the bucket into the ground. It's a $350.00 option and thus far I haven't noticed that I need it. I am changing the angle so often that I haven't tested to see if it actually drifts off the setting I had it at. I think if you are doing grading it will be helpful for us rookies. Experts, maybe not quite as much, but in tight spaces it's amazing to do grading and stump digging with the bucket. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks for watching

Also, I am told to really get good (perfect?) grading you need a smooth (no teeth) bucket. And if the bottom were longer you could see it from the operators seat which would make grading easier.... I'm not at the point I need perfect or even close to perfect, but maybe in a year when we build our house.

Very cool! Literally.... I just don't do well in heat and humidity. I don't know how cold it would be in an open field in direct sun at noon, but in my forest I don't even keep it at the lowest setting because I get too cold!! We have hotter days ahead, so I am glad I got the closed cab!!!

Those vents are blowing extremely hot… but it’s definitely better than nothing 😂😂😂

When it’s 97F and humidity is 80+% (dew points over 74F) even a dry 80F would feel amazing!!🔥🔥⛄️⛄️😎

Thank you! 😄

On my version of the manual the Hydraulic Filter is recommended to be changed (but not the hydraulic fluid) after the very first 50 hours, but only that first 50 hours and then every 500 (five Hundred) after that. For my manual that is on page 147 in the table Number 28 of the maintenance schedule Also my dealer told me. And per my own decision I plan on changing the engine oil and the oil filter shortly (probably at 60 hours see page 119 Operation of Machine 1. Running-In Oil Change in the Run-in Stage) as I have heard that recommendation for all new engines, but I have not read that anywhere for Kubota, I will do the oil filter and full oil change just as a precaution.

and thanks for watching and commenting. Have a great day!

In general I would totally agree. We bought Ryobi as a home string trimmer / weed wacker first. Then we needed a new lawn mower after moving and having a much smaller yard realized a new Ryobi mower would be less maintenance. No gas, no oil changes. Same amount of blade sharpening. Then our Toro Electric Corded leaf blower died, and got Ryobi 730mph blower which is AWESOME with no cords!! Then we needed to trim some branches at the new house, well why not get a Ryobi pole saw so I don't need to climb a tree with my gas chainsaw. Then the clutch went on my gas chain saw I bought when I was 18 years old (so 40+ years old) and couldn't get parts. So I got the 18" Ryobi 40v chain saw. No need to mix gas, and worry about the fuel aging out. All the Ryobi equipment we have uses the same type of 40v battery, just in different Amp Hour sizes (2, 4, 5, 8ah) so it just made sense for our use case since we don't use the equipment in a professional business. If I did need to cut 18" logs day in and day out I'd get a Stihl Rancher or similar. And once we are on the farm doing more logging I probably will......but for us currently having the same exact battery in all our equipment is really helpful even though the equipment is not industrial grade. Thanks for commenting, and I think you are correct and spot on!!

I don't have any other experience on other pieces of heavy equipment. I know on mini excavators you have have the controls work two different ways, and was wondering if I just didn't know how to change the skid steer to different modes? The two modes for excavator controls are typically called ISO mode and SAE mode (also known as CAT mode). ISO mode (International Organization for Standardization): In this mode, the left joystick controls the swing (left and right) and the boom (up and down), while the right joystick controls the stick (in and out) and the bucket (curl and dump). SAE mode (Society of Automotive Engineers) or CAT mode: In this mode, the left joystick controls the swing (left and right) and the stick (in and out), while the right joystick controls the boom (up and down) and the bucket (curl and dump).

Thanks for commenting and confirming 24mm. I was blind as a bat as a kid and got LASIK in my 40’s. Now I’m 20/20 so eye sight is a hot topic for me. I wear safety glasses 99% of the time but it was so hot!! Tennessee isn’t as hot as Alabama but it is close. And that particular task was lower risk. If the filter was above my eyes I’d definitely wear them. Thanks for watching. Have a great time with the SVL75-3

I have several videos on the attachment. It’s a Kubota Lamd Pride TH35 Tilt Hitch Kubota Land Pride TH35 Tilt Hitch is great for grading, but perhaps I am not I need more practice ruclips.net/video/J7vDW4nW4yg/видео.html

And now that I have used that tilt hitch (I call it a tilt plate a lot) I think for what I am doing it is worth it's weight in gold. I was using it all day cutting / clearing a logging path that was very slanted with zero room to turn around. I was easily able to regrade (change the slope) that a dozer blade would not have been able too since it can't pick up material and move it in the same way a bucket can. Unfortunately I didn't film it, but I have a lot more similar work to do, which I will film. Thanks again for asking questions and commenting.

@@ahbuildingafarm thanks. I didn’t know this attachment existed but I see that I need it.

I think an operator with skills and experience in an open area that is at least 1.5 to 2x the size of the machine can probably live without it. I am a rookie, and I want the trails to stay narrow (6ft) so this tilt really makes it easy to set the grade. I hope that helps you understand. I hope to show more in upcoming videos. My understanding is the experienced operator gets the grade set under the tracks and then proceeds from there. However that may require to dig perpendicular to the direction you want the trail to be going in. I don't have room to dig sideways. And sometimes to slope needs to quickly shift from the left side being high to the left side being low due to hill changes. I just don't know how else to do it without making the trail 12ft wide or more, or using a tilt hitch. There are other manufactures out there, but I decided to stay with Land Pride. I found mostly bad feedback on most other suppliers. Do your research and come to a decision, but for me the Land Pride seemed like best option for me at this time. Hope this helps you with your work.

It looks like you can undo some bolts on the side and the entire edge and teeth come off. I do not think the bare edge is supposed to be used but perhaps I can buy a straight cutting edge. Would need to keep bolts well greased to make switching easier

Or I will watch for a straight edge bucket in local auctions

I will check the bucket when I’m out there. I am pretty sure each individual tooth is bolted on. Not sure if that leaves me with a smooth cutting edge or just “an edge”

Thanks for the compliment and the throttle advice. That's the kind of new operator advice I need and haven't found thru searches. Up until now I haven't used the floor throttle at all so I will definitely work that into my best practices as I learn. I know I need to learn a lot and don't even know what I don't know. The definition of ignorance. I am very open to all suggestions though and over time, will hopefully reduce the ignorance level although my wife has her doubts..... I have 35+ years of formal computer training and work experience and only hours of equipment experience. I won't likely ever be an expert operator, but I will get better because I will listen to advice. Thanks for commenting, and when you see other improvements don't hesitate to ask. 60's is just a number... I try to eat right, and fortunately my parents gave me good Genes.

I will definitely try the foot throttle and look at the teeth. I tend to work on different ground and problems through the course of the day, so I might be working on this stretch for an hour or two, and decide to go push over a tree and rip up the roots all within an hour or two. Once I have the skidding trail all the way through and no trees to push down or dig out a smooth edge will be a good idea. Honestly didn't even know I could operate without the teeth. I had seen other videos where people repaired them, but didn't think I could use it without them. Figured I would need to buy a smooth bucket too. Once we are farther along with the farm I was considering getting a 82" or 84" bucket for reaching over the side of the gulley keeping the tracks on the main trail.... just more to learn and ponder. Thanks for commenting, sharing advice. Have a great day.

I also found out from dealer the manufacturer crossed the hoses so I need to fix that. I will post some more tips on using once I learn them. 😝😝😝

I’m a very new operator so keep my ignorance in mind. I know that if you can get your tracks to the grade you wish to keep moving forward you would not need the tilt. However I am finding with the tight spaces and rolling hills I couldn’t get the grade without making the trail much wider. I really want to keep the skidding trails as narrow as possible to optimize growing forest. I looked at 4 or 5 other tilt plates and for the price this seemed like the best option for my purposes. Thanks for watching and commenting. Let me know if you have other questions

Thanks, if you have encountered problems you think I should share let me know. I only have a few hours in total operating this and rental machines so really I am going up the learning curve at a pretty steep rate. A lot of other channels assume viewers have more knowledge than I do, so I don't always understand what they are trying to explain. I have no problem displaying how ignorant I am, but I am willing to learn to reduce the ignorance.... hopefully you will find that helpful Thanks for commenting and watching. (P.S. - I tried commenting on this before, and your other comment, and looks like RUclips failed me, so hopefully this one posts....)

I've looked at them, but have so much rough grading, earth moving, tree cutting, and other tasks.... this will be a fall purchase. Do you have a brand or land plane you like? I have both clay trails but also some gravel road. I'd like something that had rippers, that could be raised to not impact the ground at all, or rip up 1 inch to 4 inches. Thoughts?

@@ahbuildingafarm there are lots of choices out there. berlon/titan attachments/skid steer solutions/tmg just depends which features you want. i build my own attachments cause im 1. cheap and 2 my skid steer is an obsolete model that doesnt fit regular attachments. the basic design is so simple it might worth asking a local shop to build you one if you dont weld {you can build a basic plane out of a stick of 2 inch angle iron}. the dirt here is very hard to dig so i tend to rip everything up with an excavator and use the skid steer to smooth things out. titan attachments has a land plane with rippers and comb attachment thats middle of the road priced, i would probably start my search there. they are good for bringing gravel back to the top also.

Thanks, I will add that into my notes file for when I start doing my research for that attachment.

@@ahbuildingafarm they are great tools. chop the highs, fill the lows. very little adjustment needed. running my excavator i find rest the arms use the fingertips on the joystick way easier to do what i gotta do smoothly. but i dont have alot of buttons to worry about like you might.

I did look into them. They do seem rugged and they have an option for a hydraulic diverter that you could then use your grapple or hydraulic forks. There were no close dealers to me, and I wasn't sure I would use it enough to justify the extra $1,500 I was quoted, plus about $600 for the diverter valve for 3rd function plus shipping. Did you get one, and if yes, how much do you use it? I am only maintaining my farm, at this time I am not doing any jobs for hire. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Also I don't think Land Pride actually makes this tilt hitch plate themselves. The manual does reference other skid steers, so I wouldn't be surprised if Land Pride contracted with Bradco to build it for them. My dealer had never sold one in the history of the dealership. Primarily because they are farmer focused, and don't sell as many skid steers to NON-Farmers.

This is east Tennessee. The soil can vary greatly from clay, to sandy mix, to darker soil. I have yet to see black dirt like Iowa, Illinois or Wisconsin. My lack of accent means midwest right, as everyone has an accent in the USA if they move someplace else HA!!!! This is near Smokey Mountains, so the forest is very similar to Smokey Mountains, just not as high. I think the top of our ridge at the highest point is 1,200ft above sea level. The lowest spot is about 800ft, maybe 750ft. Based on historical Google Maps pictures we believe it was logged in 1980. Definitely a beautiful part of the country in my opinion, but there are beautiful parts in every state if you get far enough away from big cities. Thanks for watching. Have a great day.

@@ahbuildingafarm I was gonna guess tennessee but the lack of accent thru me off! i was born and raised in coastal virginia {we dont have accents either}, always been my dream to move to tennessee....but as luck would have it im currently stuck in Arizona. Not terribly picturesque out here, unless you like 50 shades of desert brown. :D

I would travel for work to Arizona a lot in the past, all seasons so 115F to 32F. Arizona is more about weather, but if you get away from Phoenix up in the mountains there can be some trees. However Tennessee has "Real" trees, because we have real rain. We have all kinds of Oak, Pines, Walnut etc all in the same forest. It's my own little forest preserve. I am learning how to maintain and improve the forest through University of Tennessee extension seminars they hold occasionally. This fall I will be working with Tennessee State Forestry Department to put in a fire break. And the Forestry Department will then also conduct a burn to promote forest health. That should be a great video, if they let me get close enough to watch.......

@@ahbuildingafarm Yeah i hear that. Im in the valley, but have folks up in the mountains around show low. I call the trees up there "fake trees" theyre mostly all junipers and some little scraggly pines. Nothing like back east! and certainly no big hardwoods. Controlled burns are def something great to learn about. People think fire is purely destructive, but done right youll have greatly improved the land. Its wild to see how fast its back to lush green after a burn. Best of luck with your endeavors!

I know - and I watched it a lot. It’s really two problems. My total time both in rentals and now my own machine probably amounts to less than 100 hours over 3 years 2nd is I have zero finesse. I am just not one of those people with skills I’m too much a brute and impatient. I watch a lot of other operators videos and they are subtle and have a fine touch. Maybe with time I can gain some skills Thanks for watching and commenting. Have a great day

@@ahbuildingafarm thanks for the reply, as I said you WILL get better the more you use the machine. Less is more is a good motto. It takes more to repair a heavy hand than taking a little at a time. I'll keep checking out your vids.

@@ahbuildingafarm trying holding the sticks at the bottom, wresting your hands on the machine.

I have noticed if I keep my arms down like you mention, I can be a bit more "fine" with my controls. The biggest change will probably be if I could develop patience.... More experience will help a lot too, so I need to get out there and shave off a little at a time rather than expecting to do 2 passes and have it all graded.... Thanks for watching. Have a GREAT WEEKEND

@@ahbuildingafarm yeah you just have to find your zen. it takes alot more time than people would expect and it takes alot more finesse and skill. try to get use to moving your bucket without bottoming out {banging} the cylinders thatll help you build muscle memory. i think once you learn that its faster to work shallow in lots of passes than one big deep pass things will start to click. def give a look at land planes/land levelers and harley rakes. even a diy jobber will save you alot of effort over doing it all with a bucket.

It seemed like an opportunity for the dealer to hire some high school students in vocational training or post-high school vocational school students just to do follow ups. Vacuuming up glass is easy…. Thanks for watching and commenting. Have a great day

I’ve seen and heard similar for almost every service type, auto mechanics, wait staff, store help, you name it. It’s hard to find good help but also seems to be a low pay issue. If any of us wants top services from any service provider we need to pay more. The economic system seems to be messed up. We might be interested in better services but we aren’t earning enough to pay for them. I’m going to do as much of the maintenance and repairs I can but wanted to have coverage for being a new ignorant operator. Eg I put too much torque on arms and bend something expensive. I’m only a few months into ownership so we will see how the future goes. Thanks for watching and commenting

Yes, I am planning on doing some more TILT work today and when I need to switch to direct BUCKET I am going to attach the tilt to my Grapple. I there will be times when I have only the TILT and the Bucket nearby and that will be the challenge. When I am trying to dig up a stump with the bucket, I am sure the TILT attachment cannot take the level of strain that a direct Skid Steer to Bucket can take. So far when I put the Skid steer back into storage I have just left the Tilt attached. It's only about 5 inches thick so it's not taking up a lot of CONNEX storage space. The Trailer Mover Attachment is a good suggestion. It's leaned over at a good pickup angle. I just need to protect the hitch point so I don't bury it into the gravel pushing the TILT at it to connect or disconnect.... Very good suggestion. Have a great day, and don't get too hot in east Tennessee. I will have a pure Digging/Grading with Tilt video soon as I plan on filming later today (June 23, 2024)

I’ve only seen them for sale at Home Depot. I don’t know if they are sold anywhere else. We paid $3,599 on sale with delivery to Home Depot. I think this model is now $3999. Thanks for commenting and watching

Yes, first time I actually needed it, but I am still a rookie... 45 hours on the machine now ;)

We got it at Home Depot for $3,599 in April 2024 I believe it was on sale for $400 less. I think it’s $3,999 now It really chews thru the logs. It’s 34HP and can do 7 in logs Thanks for watching and commenting Please subscribe

We will be using ours for years. You’ll need to decide if hauling chips vs hauling logs is cheaper. We are actually going to mulch the chips. Our area allows burning but we didn’t want to do that. If you have any other questions let me know. Thanks for watching. Please subscribe

Also if you don’t think you will use it enough Home Depot and Lowes may rent slightly larger ones. That may make more economical sense. You’ll need a big pile. The Home Depot by us rents chippers that can do 10 inch logs. There may be other equipment companies that would also rent to you. Only you can make the economic decision on buy vs rent. We have over 100 acres and it’s all forest so owning made sense for us.

The time lapse uncompressed time was maybe 5-8 minutes. This machine chips really fast. If you have the chute set to be inline and tilted up I’d guess about 10-12ft. If you get a little wind you could do better but we don’t get much wind in either direction. We’ve used it about 5 more time since this video and thus far it’s doing great. Did a video today of my wife feeding it. She couldn’t go faster than the chipper either. Thanks for watching. Please subscribe

Eventually I need a general hauling trailer for many purposes. The UTV is our farm vehicle so I won’t haul it much unless it needs some service I cannot do. I’m buying equipment a little at a time. Thanks for commenting and watching. Please subscribe and share your insights

Thank you. I appreciate you watching Terima kasih. Saya menghargai Anda menonton

Yes agree. There is very little room to spare. I still haven’t determined where to put a cellphone holder as the door swings thru almost all of the cab windows space. Thanks for watching and please subscribe

Yes, I have been in a few. For me overall, I really wanted the overhead door, and wasn't willing to be a test pilot with the Kioti and can't afford the Takeuchi We've been running it for a few months now, and I am getting used to putting my leg in a better position so I don't bang it as much. I may put a piece of pool noodle there if it really starts to irritate me. Thanks for watching and commenting. Please subscribe.

Yes sir that is what running machinery is all about.. getting used to being uncomfortable. Hahaha greetings from Texas from a fellow dirt pusher

He can be a Humane Leader, but occasionally he barks orders a lot more like a BOSS!!!!

I do have another video where it’s not sped up that is posted now. And my wife wanted to chip some so I have a video coming in a few days where some is real time and some is sped up doing some small and big logs. It continues to do a good job and we have chipped a lot more And did some 5 to 7 inch logs. It’s a bit slower on those but not by much. Thanks for watching and please subscribe

Matt- absolutely spot on. I’d love to go 48v but need 12v for the RV and its brakes. I don’t think I should do a down covert to power the brakes. If I had it to do over I definitely would get the 150/40 or 50 An individual EG4 12v can actually accept 100 amps per the specifications but I don’t think I’d push to that level. When we build our house that will definitely get a 48v system. Thanks for the input

Yah. For 12V systems the 150/XXX charge controllers are definitely more of the sweet spot due to needing the higher amperages. The nice thing about the Victron 100/20 is that it is a pretty small device, so having more than one doesn't really take up all that much space. But it is definitely better-suited for 24V and 48V systems than for 12V systems. Another thing to consider on the charge controllers is to simply use a larger number of smaller charge controllers. And keep in mind that using separate dedicated charge controllers is *always* better than paralleling the solar panels if there is any chance of shading or partial shading. Having more than one charge controller also gives you some redundancy when things break. -- Yes, down-buffering is typically needed when you run a higher system voltage but have heavy "legacy" 12V loads such as brakes or jacks / stabilizers, and so forth. That is a show-stopper for a lot of people. Just in case you reconsider it in the future, here are the two typical methods: (1) Use a DC-DC converter (Victron makes some), where the DC-DC handles the heavy 12V loads. This can be fraught with problems though due to needing a fairly hefty converter to deal with surge loads / startup loads. (2) Use a small DC-DC charger (not converter) (Victron makes these too), and then have a satellite 12.8V LiFePO4 battery on the 12V side. This way the 12V battery handles the surge loads / heavy loads while the DC-DC charger simply trickle-charges the 12V battery at a relatively low amperage (often 6A is plenty, for example) to keep it topped-up. The nice thing about method #2 is that if you have a 12.8V 100Ah battery in there you can handle 100A, even 200A (depending on the battery) startup/surge loads as well as high-amperage continuous loads and yet still pack a small 6A DC-DC charger to keep it topped-up. (having a satellite battery also removes surges and startup voltage droop from the main system and has a few other advantages even when its just a 12V-12V). -Matt

I've decided I really need to get a larger MPPT that can put out higher amperage to 12V batteries. Now I just need to decide to stay with VICTRON, or try another brand. It's not urgent so I haven't spent much time researching. Signature Solar has a Victron MPPT 150/70 but it's $382 I would like something I could use as a backup for house batteries that will be 48v(53v) in the future. I got the Victron 100/20 because it was low cost, could do my 48v Golf cart/ UTV and could do my RV 12V batteries. I guess I have more shopping to do.... Thanks for watching

I’m curious to hear how it goes. And if your panels are clear of any and all shade I think I’d be total fine if I had panels in an open area. Thanks for commenting. Have a great day

I'll let you know My panels get total sun from around 8 / 8.30 am till 5.30 pm 4- 100 watt Ridid panels

I have the 100/20 The panels are setup as two in sers, two in series, and then that connects in parallel into the MPPT (2S2P) each 220 Watt panel is Voc 36.8V Isc 8.12A Vmpp 29.7 Impp 7.38 When it's sunny and full sun hitting the panels I see 58v to 68V and max around 290 watts on the Victron app from the panels. If I had not bought anything I probably would have gone with Victron 150V/ 35 to as much as 50AMP to give me faster charging and more flexibility on panels. That 100V limit and 20AMP limit was more limiting than I realized. This is my first experience with solar so starting off with a few... bumps along the way, in a dense forest. Not exactly the best place to learn, but better than learning on a whole house system.

How long using 30amps is it taking to fully charge 200AHs of battery? Assuming you use 80-90% of the 200AH so 160-180 AH used, would take 5-7 hours of full sun to charge 100%?

Unfortunately this is still our road/driveway up to the top of the ridge and is access to 70% of the rest of the property. It's hard to tell but there are drop offs on both sides so we couldn't go any wider and we drive through it most times we are there. In the video I have the full area blocked with vehicles so if my wife wanted to drive up to the top of the ridge she wouldn't be able to get by. We are working on clearing an area where we are going to build so this space is temporary. The RV is 35ft bumper to Tongue and the very widest spot is 35ft. If I end up needing this area for more than a year I will probably try to extend past the back of the CONNEX Shipping Container so I can push it back 20ft to 30ft and gain space that way. The best solution is for the rain to stop so I can clear our building spot and I will make a 150ft by 150ft staging/parking area.... if it ever stops raining here in East Tennessee. Thanks for commenting, have a great day.

Thanks for the comments. I have a recording I home to post in the next week of the history from the Victron App. On sunny days it is fully charging and it gets to float mode

Thanks for sharing. I will post the multi day chart I just recorded from the Victron App. Only on the sunny days does it get to float stage. It’s too shaded where I have the panels currently

It is gravity feed. However the chute is at a much steeper angle than many others so in all of the videos posted I rarely need to push. I only need to push if it’s really light branches getting stuck on the strips of safety rubber hanging down to reduce blow back pieces. Or if the branch has a big Y in it that snags. The chipping knives are flush to the chute so with the steepness the logs just keep moving in via gravity. Thanks for watching and asking a question

Thanks and yes absolutely correct. I’ve forgotten to raise them several times now. I need to get into the habit of raising them as soon as I connect the chipper to the hitch. So far I have not damaged it and usually remember after a few hundred feet of towing Thanks for watching

That Kubota is nice. Since our Farm is trees/forest management so far we haven't been moving anything yet that the UTV can't handle, and it is so quiet. I just wanted the silence. We have a Kubota SVL75-3 so we can move really heavy items with that, or use our F350 move dump trailers etc. We've been looking at dump trailers, but thus far we've been able to have dump truck get loads where we need them and just fine tune with tractor or the SVL75 I have a video coming where we dumped to create a staging area. Eventually we may need something more heavy duty like your Kubota UTV. I'd have to get a great deal, at auctions they are going for same as dealer costs thus far.

Thanks for that awesome detailed answer. This makes a lot of sense. I guess I were Victron I would word their manual and the application screen a bit differently so new to solar people like me would know what we are looking at and how the values in the app screen will change. It was cloudy today so batteries didn’t it to even 95% charged. Rain for the 4 days so I probably won’t be able to check until the weekend. Thanks for the best detailed and helpful answer

The chipper is really turning both small branches and big 4,5,6+ inch logs into fine chips. We want to mulch the chips so this was the choice we made. Thanks for your insights

Thanks for sharing. I’m going to monitor it. I’m heading out to the farm today but of course it’s going to be cloudy all day so they won’t get a full charge today
