Congratulations on the upgrade. I'm sure you will love it even more as you get used to it. Take care, be safe and may the Lord bless you and your family.
We bought an old 50 hp Case farm tractor. It just takes a bit of ingenuity to add hydraulics and to weld together all manner of attachments for special purposes. Though I would admit…having a tractor just a little newer than WW2 would indeed be handy!
I have the exact model Kubota and grapple as you and it is perfect for what you are doing! Get some pallet to place the grapple and bucket for easier loading and unloading! Thanks for your videos!
Congratulations on your new piece! It's wonderful your Dad and you were able to share the experience of getting this great piece together. I have so enjoyed your video's. You have a beautiful family and you really seem to enjoy your wood trade. Well done you! Take care and Many Blessings! :)
Wishing you all the best with your new machine. Later no doubt you will get round to reading the user's manual or as one old farmer called it the book of destruction . All the best from the Uk🇬🇧
Congrats on your beautiful upgrade! I wish you years of service from this new acquisition. With time you will get more proficient with it's capabilities.
Congratulations on your New Tractor you're gonna love it! I bought the mx4700 bout 8 yrs. ago and with the bucket, forks, and posthole digger it saved me a lot of labor. Also be real careful with that roll over bar/canopy rack when in the brush or thick trees, garages that it don't hang up on anything. it will catch you unaware. God Bless!
Very happy for you with the new tractor. Nice setup 👍🏼 Grapples are great for holding logs at a comfortable height to chainsaw off pieces for fire wood. You will love it if not only for loading logs on the mill. Congrazt.
Nice tractor. I hope you show the wood pile burn in a future video cause that is quite the pile. Thanks love your videos and whole family God bless you all.
Great machinery. Does lot of work. Can easily drag log to mizer than hook and can easily put the log on mizer. Looking forward to seeing it in future videos👍👍👍👍👍
O' Boy , new paint and a grapple! Very Nice, Messick's has a very informative video just released on grapples and the incredible amount of hydraulic pressure spikes when improperly using a grapple. It's will worth a watch and can save you thousands of dollars on repair cost. Happy Harvesting and Milling!
Congrats! There ain't nothing better than a tractor and a grapple. It's as handy as a pocket on a jacket. It's going to really make your sawmill work so much easier.
I have no clue what all that equipment would cost in the States, but your work life will never look back now. Have often thought watching these woody type videos why the rubbish logs aren't used to keep the good stuff of the wet ground. Also I breaks my heart to think of all the stuff that just gets burned when some of it could be used to heat some old folks homes who can not afford to buy wood. Great video as usual. Thanks from New Zealand.
Congrats. I got my MX 5200 a year ago and I love it. I too had an antique, so I didn’t understand all the bells and whistles. Your productivity is going to go through the roof. Consider a quick hitch as much as you’re going to change implement. I don’t have to please the tractor except for connecting the PTO shaft. Again congrats.
Great choice Tractor. I just recently purchased the 2020 Model MX5400. You'll be very happy and surprised at what a Great Machine for the Money. Really enjoy your Channel.
Congrats! Your going to love having a modern tractor! Get a box scraper for ballast and weld a hitch ball on the back of it for moving other things around, you can use the 3 point to pick em up and never leave your seat.
I Don’t think you’ll ever be disappointed in your Kabota tractor ! I have a lawn care business forestry land clearing business and I beat the hell out of my equipment ! since 2000 when I first went into business and bought the first tractor although I own several others now I’ve still never had one minutes trouble out of the original tractor or any of the newer models 👍
Congratulations on the new tractor and grapple!! You’ll love it. Similar to you, for years I used a “seasoned” tractor with a boom pole for logging on my place. A few years ago I also got a Kubota with a grapple. Don’t see how I got along before without it. It makes everything soooo much easier. One piece of advice that learned about the hard way. Strap down your quick release arms on the grapple - I just used some rope. Without them being strapped down, irregular brush poking though the back of the grapple can release one side or the other making it a pain to get back on.
Congratulations on buying a damn good machine! Just be careful and may God continue to bless you, your family and all your animals! PS, don't ever forget to thank your wife for allowing you to buy this great machine!
When grabbing logs to move or load on to the sawmill, use the teeth of the grapple to have more control over your logs so they don't roll around in the bucket. Shouldn't damage the log to the boards, just the skins.
Congrats on your new tractor life will be a little easier around your property now and maybe save your back from all the brush..lol Enjoy and keep those videos coming and God Bless!
Wes:. Great video!!! This was so very helpful, as I am undergoing the decision process right now on upgrading my tractor. That L4701 is sharp!!! My biggest need is for lifting logs and moving soil and gravel! Congratulations on the acquisition!!
Suggestion... when you dropped that log on the mill, it really torqued it sideways. You may want to think about a square tubing frame that you can sit next to the mill that goes around the bucket so you can set the log down ( three-sided box) and back out then just roll the log over on to the mill. Just a thought...
Gotta "like" this! I upgraded in 2020 also. Too old to take the heat, so I went to A/C. Thats wonderful too! Congratulations.
Those shots from underneath the tractor are really cool !!
Thanks 👍
Oh man. That grapple ties the room together. You know how much smoother milling just got. Nice work.
Thanks Bus! That’s a good way to put it.
Congratulations. Proud for you and happy that you were able to get the tractor and grapple. Tractor time is therapy time. Way to go!
Good job on your filming.👍
Thank you! 👍
Congratulations!! Very happy for you.
Congratulations, she is a beauty, and so far it looks perfect for your needs.
Wes, as you already know that “K” is going to make your life a lot easier. Congratulations my friend.
Looks like a very welcome addition to the mill! Congrats my friend!
Love your new toys! Tools are tricks for the trades! Great video!
As you know from your dad's you will not regret your choice. I miss my wife's L3400 but it was to small for our new homestead projects.
Congratulations on the upgrade. I'm sure you will love it even more as you get used to it. Take care, be safe and may the Lord bless you and your family.
Thank you!
Creative camera angles. I don't think I've ever seen a view from underneath the tractor before.
Congratulations! You’re gonna love that thing
Already do, thanks!
Looks great. You'll have a lot of fun!

I'll never need more than a riding mower on my half acre lot but I'm gonna enjoy watching you use yours. Congrats.
Thank you, Jack!
Congratulations on the tractor that is nice.
Good investment. Your proficiency and productivity increased significantly.
I have the Kubota L3901 with a grapple, never had so much fun getting work done!
Congrats on the new tractor much needed piece of the puzzle you are officially a real sawmill now lol
Haha, thanks.
I have learned a lot with my 3940 Kubota in the 6 mo. I had it. Thanks for the demo I need one too
Congratulation, and the best of luck with this. I'm sure you are putting it through its paces. :)
Now we all know where all that big RUclips money goes! Congrats my friend, looking forward to future videos with your new equipment.
What a BEAUTIFUL rig! Time to build its own pole barn

The dealer told me to keep an eye on that too. Thanks for the tip!
Congratulations on buying a damn good machine! Just be careful and may God continue to bless you, your family and all your animals!
PS, don't ever forget to thank your wife for allowing you to buy this great machine!
She encouraged it!
Richard Frazee "thank your wife for allowing"????? Seriously???
Good video. I have a smaller Kubota and grapple. For ballast I have filled tires and pond scoop and old metal box with 6 - 80# bags of concrete.
Great choice. Every tractor lovers dream!
Very nice equipment
Bronze medal lol. That is a serious looking piece of kit! Congratulations, and I hope it serves you well.
You must have gotten your stimulus check! Haven’t seen mine. Sweet ride. Cant wait to see the reviews
Ha! Thanks!
You'll love the tractor.
Sorry im behind a few weeks but nice machine congrats all the best.
When grabbing logs to move or load on to the sawmill, use the teeth of the grapple to have more control over your logs so they don't roll around in the bucket. Shouldn't damage the log to the boards, just the skins.
Thanks!
i disagree, if you like live edges on your boards.
Nice!! I want one of those! 😁👍
Now that's what I call a force multiplier! And makes work fun, too
congratulations I bet you'll be happy
Already am!
Congrats on your new tractor life will be a little easier around your property now and maybe save your back from all the brush..lol Enjoy and keep those videos coming and God Bless!
