I love hobby logging. Here's how I setup my little Kubota L245DT for pulling logs out of the woods. I go into winter with 4 cords of firewood and this tractor has no problem pulling it.

I was trying to do the same thing today but I don't know exactly what I'm doing and my setup isn't working very well. So while I was out at our farm I got on here and found your video. Super helpful!! 👍🙂
Thanks man! Glad it was helpful.
Excellent setup. Thanks for the education.
Thanks and your welcome!
I just. Found a f150 short box 4x4. Welded big. Pipe bumper on back. Wood flatbed on it. Rear chains. Pull 4 logs out with. And big winch. Mounted in bed. I have heat. Lol. Room for anything i need. Alot cheaper.
A great, low impact firewood setup. It's always good to see a fellow Granite Stater on the ol' RUclips. 😎
Right on. Thanks man. This year I've managed to grab almost all my firewood from the side of the road thanks to the power line crews coming around.
I logged my woods and a few others small lots with a L235 those old Kubotas are some pulling little mules
Hey ~ thanks for this video! I've got a tractor about the same size and have been searching for an easy log hauling method that doesn't cost a ton of money. I'll be giving this a try.
Nice! Glad it inspired you, let me know how it goes.
Great little tractor. I own an L4740 Kubota with a logging winch witch can be seen on my channel. I do some small scale logging and starting a small scale homestead. Could do it without my Kubota. Nice video, thanks for sharing. On a side note you posted this in Feb, 2018. If the video was made around that time frame you guys sure didn't have the snow we had here in the east coast Canada.
Recently had an L245 bite the dust it was an awesome little tractor they can pull very good with the low gears
Dang. Dare I ask why or how it bit the dust?
New Hampshire Man I was airing up the tires as it was warming up at idle and it shot oil out of the pan and it’s got a small rod knock...over $600 in parts to fix it myseld
I’m back with a different account man. I got my hands on a l2201..Japanese version of the l245
Nice job 👍
Thank you!
Good pull
Thanks man!
Thanks for your video. You learn me about Drawbar stabilizer. I will get one for my 8n. That is better than buying a 3pt hitch!!!!
Yeah man, always looking for affordable and safe ways to get the job done. Glad it helped!
Maxime Bleau I think those hitches like a heavy hitch might do better plus is comes with a ball hitch slot .. the stabilizer bar he uses seem good to stop the bar from moving
gotta be tougher than usual with those turf tires! consider pulling from the front to avoid back-flips, which are a leading cause of tractor logging injuries.
Appreciate those words of advice.
@@capnmatt41 yeah man, hate to see a good hard working guy get hurt. happens so fast you can't believe it, and then life is different.
To each his own... but boy, I would NEVER drag logs from the rear of my tractor without a ROPS... too easy for the tractor to walk over on you if the log snags for some reason.
I appreciate the concern from the community about the lack of a ROPS on this tractor. I agree fully. It's given me pause on some work I've done and I appreciate you guys weighing in on that.
Rhyme& Reason In a perfect world you have ROPS. You work with what you have though. As far as a tractor walking back while dragging log goes: in theory it’s possible but I think extremely improbable all things considered. Tractors drive slow and I can’t imagine a driver ignoring the raising front end and not get their foot off the accelerator or freaking out and “whiskey throttling” it; most fellers limb a tree before dragging it so not much to snag; and the lifted end being off the ground greatly reducing how much is actually contacting the ground and available to snag something hard makes the risk very minimal. Now straight chain dragging without 3-point lifting after poorly/not limping without ROPS and an inexperienced driver certainly would make for a potentially bad situation. I think everyone appreciates what you are saying though. Nice video. I appreciate you sharing fellow Matthew. God bless everyone.
Any idea where I can get a loader like that? If you would can you go over the hydraulic setup for the loader
Hi there please I need tractor s here in Zambia for booking will have alote of rose wood ,
I would fix your back tires first. I’m surprised you can even move in the first place. Replace those tires with ag tires
Dude, I know! But...while this little thang is a workhorse I think that if I'm going to be putting money into a tractor I'm going to be saving up for something a little newer. Thanks for watching!
Love the tractor
Yeah dude, she's a champ.
This tractor isn't that small actually, japanese tractors are very powerful because the japanese calculate hp differently, thats why this 25hp would feel a lot more powerful
Hey where did you say you where from again

Make it so you don't have to get off tractor and grab log.
It's a funny balance we strike. Fact of the matter for me is that I genuinely enjoy the work. So, while I continue to try to optimize the process, I don't want to be so efficient that I don't have to (or get to) do the work anymore.
Splitting is another great example. The wood splitter is fast, but swinging the maul is better for my soul.
@@newhampshireman5751 Split at my cabin with 8lb mall. Split with mall all my life, but with the amount of wood I need I use an old "Honest Abe" splitter we've had for 35 yrs. I still drag out logs with Farmall H and chain, but will change to MF with 3pt and tongs made to pickup without getting off tractor. I'll make it myself. You might want to think that as you age.
Is it just me or does he look like Gordon Ramsey
Matt,
Fellow New Hampshire resident here! Cool video! I have a Kubota BX 24 that believe it or not for a small subcompact hauls logs pretty good too! Check out my channel and subscribe! New Hampshire fellow youtubers gotta stick together! Nice firewood haul!

Take the turf tires off and put AG tires on the damn tractor
Norman Crown, man, I hear ya.
But here's the thing, I've decided to be more grateful for the things I have rather than long for bigger and better things.
Like a hydrostatic transmission!
Fact is, I don't have the money, but it's ok, cause I'm getting by just fine.
Thanks for your comment.
I didn't see much wheel spin...
Don't fix it if it isn't broke.....I have a similar tractor and it does 85% of my chores I need it to no need to upgrade
@@capnmatt41 I agree with you Mat!
If you put chains on those. They would work fine in the winter?
you should never get behind a tractor while its running i could shift in gear and hurt you
I'm all about safety, but but that's a bit much for me.
Yes mom. Most tractors will shut off and or stall if that happens. Not sure how this guys puller works but mine won’t let me out of the seat while running unless it’s out of gear and the park brake is set.
