You have unlimited patience to take the time to get individual shots of each step of unhooking and hooking up implements. I’m a poultry farmer and despise hooking and unhooking equipment. If I could afford it I would have a tractor for every piece of equipment I own. Good job.
Channel locks are the special tool for just about everything. 😃 Great video. It makes me ponder getting out of the suburbs just so I have a good excuse to own a tractor.
Dude, I never heard of you before, but can't tell you how MUCH I enjoyed watching this video! From changing out attachments - the whole thing, thanks! 😀
There is a special wrench for that water separator. It has teeth that match up with the notches in a complete circle. Another type has a notched semicircular end with a tooth to catch the notches. It just saves hammering on that fitting. Good job on the drainage ditches, hope they can withstand the next storm! Your comment on the regen was something I’ve always wondered. Burn more fuel to clear up unburnt fuel!😂
Things that need attention around the homestead are always there and it is a often a pleasure to try to keep up with, more so than work to keep up with. You obviously enjoy that. I do as well. Your video is quite well choreographed. I can tell you put a ton of effort into it and it shows. Nice!
there is a special tool for that made by the separator company( seems there's one for each filter model) but the best all-round tool is a strap wrench. It applies tension and pressure evenly unlike a slip joint plier or pipe wrench
I own the same tractor ( L4701) I’ve removed my water separater after shut of the fuel and have never had to bleed. I don’t think you need that step unless the tractor loses prime. I remove mine periodically if just too remove sediments from the bowl but have not had any water issues with the truckstop diesel I buy and always from the same place. Good Luck!
That was great. And awesome video job and great looks at what that Kubota L4701 can do. Thank you so much for letting us join you for some cool projects.
Looking at the back end of your Kubota tractor brings back memories. Almost seventy years ago my dad and I worked a small Ohio farm with a Ferguson tractor employing the same hydraulic lift/3-point hookup/PTO arrangement. My recollection, which could be wrong, is that a Ford/Ferguson collaboration originated that design.
@@grinpick No, you are correct. The engineer was named Ferguson and the collaboration was with Ford. After the falling out over the IP, he teamed with Massey.
Some great camera work & an interesting list of jobs Wes! Strikes me a backhoe would be very useful for a lot of the jobs you have to do especially maintaining those dainage ditches. Stay safe & well. 👍👍
I just reconnected to your videos. Gotta say, I’m bummed about the move, but I’m thankful to the Lord for his direction in your life. I’m a pastor (Reformed/Baptistic) in New England. May the Lord bless your new efforts!
Great video, sir. Pretty slick back-blading with the front bucket and you have some serious box-blade skills as well. I make whoop-dee-doos whenever try to use one. Looking forward to the next video already.
Make cemented roads. They require less maintenance. Its just amazing to see you doing variety of work.falling water in slow motion from bucket was beautiful. Great camera angles👍👍🔥🔥🔥🔥
In the past I had diesel tractors that had a valve on the bottom of the bowl of the water separator. If you find one of these you will be able to remove the water without having to bleed the fuel system
Looks like you got Thanksgiving dinner in the works there with your winter venison you will have a full freezer all off your own land nothing better than that! Thanks for sharing your videos with us and God bless
A few years ago I found an old JD “grader” blade at a pawn shop for $100 that’s great for pulling that gravel back up on the drive and making good drainage ditches. I’d highly recommend one for your operation. Thanks for sharing.
With you being in the medical field I imagine you can snatch a blood pressure cuff. Lay it on the top of the door and pump it up. It’s easy on the paint and works like a charm pushing the door away from the top of the cab.
If you get locked out again, try some plastic felling wedges to hold the door Frame open. The taper makes them easy to get them in. Ask me how I know this. LOL
If you can get your hands on some sections of old highway guardrail (straight pieces), they make GREAT ditch structures (surface culverts) across dirt roads! You dig them in a couple inches so the top (valley/highway side) is flush with the surface of you roadway. They should be angled sufficiently so they drain and self clean (scour). Super easy to install and maintain and they are heavy gauge galvanized steel so they last a long time. I've installed 10 on my hilly dirt roads and hope to get more from my local Public Works Department.
Wes, have you ever considered putting drainage hose with a sock on it under the low side of your driveway? You might need to put it in at a depth suitable for your environment but it would solve your erosion problem once and for all.
I mean this very nicely to save you thousands lol. Never back draw with a full curl bucket. Your cylinders will break! Other then that awesome video loved it all
The diesel tank you have for storage on your property needs to be always as full as possible,otherwise it will condensate and you will always wonder why you get so much water in your diesel ..
The need the DPF to meet the average NOx emissiions standards so they were legal and could even sell you the tractor. Without the DPF the tractor isn't legal. When you get to the point of having to do a regen the catalyst in the system is dirty enough that it is in danger of not meeting the NOx standard again so the need to burn off the particulate in the system. You are lucky you can still work wile doing the regen, that way you are only burning the little additional fuel for the difference in rpm from where you would normally run and the increased rpm. At only 12 minutes to regen that isn't very bad.
You're burning alot more fuel because not only are you running at higher rpms, but you're also injecting fuel into the DPF so it burns off the soot which 8s increasingyour fuel consumption considerably no matter what rpm you are at. When my pickup had all if that when it was regening on the highway I'd get 9mpg at 65-70 compared to 19mpg.
Idea for you. Purchase a used rear implement that you don’t mind modifying and fabricate/weld on one side a half moon digging reverse plow that pushes/scoops the debris out and further away as you drive along side your ditch creating a perfect and consistent ditch. And being that it would only need to be about 8-12 inches wide/diameter, it would be just a quick drive down the road with the scoop spooning out and depositing the tailings towards the woods and away from your road.
i have same problems that you have , i have a couple recommendations for you. put some water breaks across your road so the water will run into the ditch line instead of straight down your road, also put a silt trap in before the sand gets into your pond . you might need to rent a small excavator , it will make the job much easier and faster. good luck.
A good days work. I'm sure it feels very edifying to do a good days work on your own homestead. Thank you for providing your listeners with good, clean, hard working, every day activities you do on your homestead. The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord and he delights in his way.
Great job. Any water is bad. Worst killer for injectors and injection pump. Really miss my wife's L3400. Would like to get one about your size. I have the same feelings about burning more fuel that you do.
I agree - get a "Hide-a-Key" and another set of truck keys to put in it. Slim-Jim as last resort. From the beginning of this video I see that you are assured of a turkey for the holiday table.
@@falllineridge I have a L4060, I made a winch mount and put on the rear. Tie my self off with slack just in case. Used 3 point Reese attachment. Plug for winch from the battery. Dont need to go swiming either ...LOL
ATTENTION FALL LINE RIDGE........... Unfortunately the guy who set up your disc "harrow" didn't have a clue on the proper placement of the rear gangs. They need to be adjusted out on each side to where the 4 bolts that are nearest the outside are near the end of your square tubing. Just slide your rear gangs out about 10 inches on each side. If you notice in your video about 17:56 the front gangs are throwing the dirt much farther out than the rear gangs have the capability of reaching to throw it back in. Also you'll have some ridging in the middle the way it's set up now. They slide those in when they ship them to make them narrow but most people don't have a clue when they set them up at the dealership or farm store.
Seems like all water travels down to the left, use the 3pt link and the box grader, the tractor 3pt links should have height adjustment, wind the left arm all the way up and the right all the way down then reverse as far back into the ditches as the kubota can and cut a decent swale to slow down and catch the water to take it away from the road, then cut up from the bottom to the to top of the drive starting from righthand side of the driveway continuing across to the left.
There's nothing like a good sturdy pair of boots for work like that. No sneakers etc! I am impressed how easily you can change the accessories on your Kubota.
Why don’t you angle your box blade and cut ditches on the sides of your driveway, your still going to have wash out problems if you leave it this way, I think a small Colbert pipe is probably needed at the bottom where it bends near the pond that way it’s not waging over the road and dropping sediment at the edge of the pond.
"Ummm...Nothin better than Dad's Dump Bucket Tea!" You know Wes a quick hitch on the back of your tractors would certainly speed the changing of tools. Would the cost of the adapters be worth the effort? What about digging a French Drain at the very top of the road where the road come out on the field to divert the water into the woods. Great video Wes, thumbs up.
A quick hitch would be great. But I don't think I swap implements enough to justify the cost. They run $400 +...so every time I fight with an implement I just look at it as getting paid $400 to swap implements. I think a French drain would work well...something else has definitely got to be done.
@@falllineridge Check out the channel "Outdoors with the Morgans" Mike recently installed a French Drain behind his son's house, to drain a depression in the lawn, and to take care of the run off coming down out of the woods. All of the water from your field could be diverted to the right or the left of your road. Nice work Wes, always enjoy the projects you take on.
That damn dpf regen, one of the main reasons i bought a Mahindra so i don’t have to deal with that BS. I agree with you especially on small tractors for home use....just something on the engine that doesn’t need to be there
we literally had to do that to my grandads 2002 toyota tundra a few months ago. when him and my dad got back from the mattress store. because he forgot the keys where inside and he locked us out of the truck. 🤣
I had to laugh cause it’s reminded of me trying to put implements on the back of my tractor and I always think I need to get one of those quick hitch quit fighting with those implements lol
Hey man! If you get you some rip rap and put it there around the pond where the silt is getting in there, it will stop most of the erosion all together. Good luck. Tim
I have the same gripe about the regen. I have a different brand of tractor, when I use it I usually have it near redline 80% of the time. It has gone through regen 4 times in 60 hours of running. Two times right when I was pulling up to the trailer at the end of jobs. So 10-15 minutes of running at high rpm while no work is being done, half hour total. I suppose it's better than having to purchase DEF fluid in addition to diesel, but I cannot see where any help to the enviroment is accomplished.
I was wanting to buy an older tractor without pollution add-ons and the dealer kept trying to steer me to a regen tractor saying you only had to regen it every couple of days if used hard. I said no.
I've got a 2015 L3901 with the regen catalyst and 30 years of air pollution experience, and you want that system working for you. Diesel exhaust is a serious carcinogen and far worse than cigarette smokem and i've known older diesel mechanics to die from resulting lung cancer, emphysema, COPD. The diesel particulate filter scrubs out a portion of the particulate, and when the filter's loaded up it burns it off by adding air and fuel (diesel) inside the catalyst. The noble metal in the cat burns the diesel fuel at very high temps...and that burns off the residual crud trapped in the filter. That tier 3 diesel engine only uses diesel fuel to fire off the catalyst, but a Tier 4 engine employs a 3-way catalyst and depends on urea as the reductant to reduce both oxides of nitrogen (which creates summertime smog) and diesel particulate matter. The Tier 4 system's been used on onroad diesel trucks since 2010 and they've got the bugs worked out--I'd rather have it than the tier 3 system since it eliminates far more crud than its predecessor. Operate a tier 4 tractor and you'll not smell any of that characteristic diesel stink.
@@williamgaines9784 Actually it's more than 30 years along with the related college paid for by wrenching cars and trucks for years. Private-sector engineering, regulatory, strategic involvement with clients you might recognize, 11 yrs in air agencies. Probably about as far from the "ring of falsehood" as one could get. Besides, the ad hominem thing's missing the point--diesel exhaust is a known, dangerous carcinogen, shortens lives and kills people, stinks like he__, and now has access to highly effective control technologies that are readily available around the planet. Yeah, they add cost, but unlike old dinosaurs, they save lives.

The diesel particulate filter scrubs out a portion of the particulate, and when the filter's loaded up it burns it off by adding air and fuel (diesel) inside the catalyst. The noble metal in the cat burns the diesel fuel at very high temps...and that burns off the residual crud trapped in the filter. That tier 3 diesel engine only uses diesel fuel to fire off the catalyst, but a Tier 4 engine employs a 3-way catalyst and depends on urea as the reductant to reduce both oxides of nitrogen (which creates summertime smog) and diesel particulate matter. The Tier 4 system's been used on onroad diesel trucks since 2010 and they've got the bugs worked out--I'd rather have it than the tier 3 system since it eliminates far more crud than its predecessor. Operate a tier 4 tractor and you'll not smell any of that characteristic diesel stink.
@@autumnwindassociates7783 "30 years of air pollution experience" has a ring of falsehood, kind of like "I have 50+ years of political experience".
@@williamgaines9784 Actually it's more than 30 years along with the related college paid for by wrenching cars and trucks for years. Private-sector engineering, regulatory, strategic involvement with clients you might recognize, 11 yrs in air agencies. Probably about as far from the "ring of falsehood" as one could get. Besides, the ad hominem thing's missing the point--diesel exhaust is a known, dangerous carcinogen, shortens lives and kills people, stinks like he__, and now has access to highly effective control technologies that are readily available around the planet. Yeah, they add cost, but unlike old dinosaurs, they save lives.
