Your videos have been the greatest source of eductation to me, as a noob tractor guy. If you were in Texas, I would give you all my business. Thank you!
Great video please make this a series with sub compact, utility, large row crop, etc. I would find it very interesting to see similarities and differences between them.
Neil, buddy, you just saved me a chunk of change. One day I will own a Kubby , but I just learned I don't need a snowblower. Where I live in Wyoming, the snow is as dry as dust and for the most part, when it does snow, it doesn't get deep enough for a blower. A compact machine with a loader, wheel weights and maybe a ballast box will be fine. When I lived in MA. I used to have an IH 350 Utility with an 8' snow bucket, but that was back in the late '60s and early '70s. Still wish I had that machine. i moved mountains of snow with it.
I have a 3 stage snow blower for my lawn tractor, it works great....as long as you have about 8" of snow or more. If you have anything less than about 6-8" at a minimum the blower doesn't work as well, and a blade would be recommended. I don't have a blade for my lawn tractor, and soon to be getting a Kubota BX2680 with a loader, box blade, and probably a roto-tiller so I wouldn't worry about getting anything else snow removal related for my lawn tractor LOL...although my lawn tractor handles the snow blower just fine, the tractor will become the light duty snow removal tool. The blower is great on sidewalks where I can't fit my tractor for example.
Love my 52” Caroni flail mower mounted on a Kubota BX2660. This spring mowed native grass plots with 5 ft Cheyenne Indian grass then scalped the buffalo grass around the house. The flail mower chops the grass and lays it flat to later retain moisture and deter new weed growth.
I like your jacket. Especially with the kubota logo. I like to get one and do some advertising for you while using my new mini kubota I recently purchased. When its cold outside, of course. My new bx1880 should be delivered this week. I can hardly wait. It will be my very 1st "bota" anything. You can thank my good friend, Paul Short, up in Bay Roberts, Newfoundland Canada for that. He's been making mods for kubota for some time, now, and my new "mini bota" will have the cutting edge which is not a new concept, but he 1st put it on his bz25d and started a trend. I wanted a bigger one, but for what I need done and to keep price affordable, I went with it with loader and box blade to start. J plan on get the stabilizer bars you have to replace the turn buckle things on mine, assuming you any left. Great videos, BTW, no matter the subject.
You forgot to mention the box blade which everyone will need, whether they are a contractor, or home owner, and the unit is used more than any other too.
Getting one with my BX for the driveway. Unless you have a nice fancy paved or concrete driveway, you'll use a box blade quite frequently, they also work to push snow with. Box blade, and a 54" straight blade, front end loader, roto-tiller, and possibly the snow blower in the future are my initial purchase items.
i have 5 acres, a long gravel driveway and would like a tractor that I can use for cultivating, seeding, and growing crops. I would need something that can till the soil between rows to remove weeds. do you have something like this? I also have to be able to mow grass.
Curious if a Rockhound will work on say an L4701? Probably won't buy one but would like to rent on to rework my lawn. Not sure on what tractor I'll wind up with though. Thanks.
FELs arent really an "accessory" anymore. I welded a couple of hooks on mine (one facing forward, one back) and use it all the time to lift stuff and pull bushes out. When I wore out my RCR-1272 blades, I bought the "OEM" replacement blades from LP. They were probably 30% thinner than the originals and they flop up and bang into the deck gouging it when I hit a thick patch. You can see the outline of the cutting path from above now.
Can you get a small tillervthat will work in a bx1880? I realize they are weaker than a larger 2380, for example, but I am considering one with a loader and a tiller, assuming there's one the 1880 can handle. I am just a hobby farmer and don't really need anything bigger as longvas I can get a few attatchments I want.
Don't pretend like we did not see than JD 110 in the background at 2:03. The company I work for operates two 110's and a M59, I like Kubota more, but those 110's can get a lot of work done.
@@MessicksEquip I know... Well kind of seals the deal on a L47 (or year equivalent) for the boss when it comes time to expand the fleet or retire one of the 110's. That's okay in my book.
Just goes to show how far we've come. I'm sure my grandparents who farmed their whole lives in Europe would drop their jaws to see how amazingly useful these tiny tractors are these days. They did it all by hand their whole lives.
On the loader for y'all tractor do it come or can I get the third function hydraulic option for the loader to operate attachment like grapple bucket , grapple root rake , 4 in 1 loader bucket or any other auxiliary attachment ?
Yes you can get a 3rd function valve its optional. Many never have a use for it or the rear remotes so they're both optional on the BX and I believe the B as well. I'm throwing around the idea if I should get it put on when I buy my tractor or wait till I find a use for it on an attachment then have it put on. Initially I won't have a need for it, but if I get the front 60" blade and/or the 50" front snow blower I'd need that 3rd function...not sure if I would ever have a use for a grapple on the property I have, I don't have brush or much in the way of tree limbs that I'd need to move. So the blower and blade are the only 2 things that a 3rd function valve would most likely get used for in my case.
I watched all your videos enjoyed them immensely very informative. I have a Kubota bx24 Here is a problem I am having that maybe you can help me with I took my bucket off and my backhoe used my more and it worked perfectly up and down with setting the height no problem put everything back together use the loader for a day park the tractor the following weekend I went to mow drop the bucket tobacco and the deck will not go down on my tractor will not move either way it is all the way up. I believe it must be something simple because it's never gave me a problem I just bought it last year and I've only use the mower a couple of times if there's anything you can think of that I should try I would appreciate some information thank you.
there is a 'top' position for the mower deck height. either that, or watch the video on 'the most misunderstood control on a tractor'. the 3pt is linked to the mower deck height.
I thought that implements are equipment that attach to the 3-point hitch, and attachments are for the front end loader? I was expecting pallet forks to be the most popular "attachment".
1000 pto is a way to transfer HP with lighter weight components. If you needed to move 200 Hp to an implement, you would need heavier components to do it at 540 RPM than 1000. Its just an engineering tool, it does not make the implement function differently.
I didn’t either till I bought land out in the country. We got tired of the cookie cutter life. Now I couldn’t imagine not having one. I mow 4 acres, keep up with a 700+ ft gravel driveway and use my little bx for everything. Credit to messicks for the awesome videos. They were instrumental in swaying me toward Kubota. Too bad my dealer here in TN wasn’t that good. Wish I could’ve just bought from them instead.
I don't have a tractor either...yet. I've been wanting/needing one for the past 30 years, just never have broke the piggy bank open. This year is changing that, finally decided to break down and buy a sub-compact tractor. BX2680 here in the next month with loader, tiller, and box blade. Got several chores coming up that the tractor is going to be a lifesaver for. I'm ordering a couple loads of gravel for the driveway that'll need spread out, covering an old irrigation ditch that I attempted to do with a Troy Bilt walk behind tiller and just couldn't get dug in deep enough to get it filled in properly its all uneven and very rough, several places around the property that need graded, etc. Tons of stuff that the tractor will certainly get used for....plus snow removal occasionally if it gets deep enough, last 2 years haven't had much...2016-2017 would have been tractor snow removal wonderland with the 2 feet of snow we had.
Joey83 They put no more pressure on your hydraulics. The pressure relief valve makes sure of that. Every time you get to end of travel etc you do the same thing. In regards to work... They do tons of work. Certainly not at the rate of a 365 Cat but they aren't meant to. They reach dig pools basements and any other digging chore you can think of.
J. J. S It adds a load of hours to your machine. If you need to do any sort of decent digging rent a digger for a day. Tractors aren't designed like digger. They are not based around hydraulics.
Thanks for the video hope you read the bible and understand Gods wisdom if you haven't yet, make a change, turn your life to Christ if you don't want to go to hell and burn forever( Matthew 16:24, John 3:16, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10,John 14:6 ) Many people will disagree and mock you trust me, but its worth it for an eternity praising our Creator. As Jesus said "if they hate you remember they first hated me"(John 15:18). Read the KJV bible, start from the New testament. God bless you
This guy is a natural in front of the camera. Very impressed with these videos.

Great video please make this a series with sub compact, utility, large row crop, etc. I would find it very interesting to see similarities and differences between them.
Glad to know that I have the attachments I need and to get some more info on them. The only thing I need now is a Kubota jacket.

You forgot to mention the box blade which everyone will need, whether they are a contractor, or home owner, and the unit is used more than any other too.
No a loader doesn't do the same.
Never used one
Box blade is a joke.
Getting one with my BX for the driveway. Unless you have a nice fancy paved or concrete driveway, you'll use a box blade quite frequently, they also work to push snow with. Box blade, and a 54" straight blade, front end loader, roto-tiller, and possibly the snow blower in the future are my initial purchase items.
I have a L3240 and 11 attachments, but a box blade isn't one. To each their own!
You should do a video of the 5 least common attachments.
Really helpful videos. I’m a big fan of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and you remind me so much of Mac in that show. Amazing!
Really?
Lol
I purchased my L3200 with a brush mower, disc and back blade. My B2301 with a loader but have several other attachments for either tractor.
What about the meat grinder attachment - should be in top 5 for any farmer who knows what he’s doin
THAT blade on the brush cutter is made of CAST METAL like you said !
Cast? It won't shatter?
i have 5 acres, a long gravel driveway and would like a tractor that I can use for cultivating, seeding, and growing crops. I would need something that can till the soil between rows to remove weeds. do you have something like this? I also have to be able to mow grass.
Is..it..avable..in..india...Maharashtra..state
last Monday finally got my Scarifier. i didn't get a frt. loader if Wisconsin winter dumps us excessive snow I'm going whine
Curious if a Rockhound will work on say an L4701? Probably won't buy one but would like to rent on to rework my lawn. Not sure on what tractor I'll wind up with though. Thanks.
Not well. Not enough flow.

Yup, small as possible and drive slow
@@MessicksEquip Will do.
You look way too like Rob McIlhenny. You are the true country Mac.
I am surprised a backhoe is not on the top 5 list. It seems most of the tractors I have seen have one hanging in the back.
Usually its the sub-compacts
How easy is it to switch from the loader to the snow blower, or snow blower to blade etc.?
Don't pretend like we did not see than JD 110 in the background at 2:03. The company I work for operates two 110's and a M59, I like Kubota more, but those 110's can get a lot of work done.
They stopped building those several years ago
@@MessicksEquip I know... Well kind of seals the deal on a L47 (or year equivalent) for the boss when it comes time to expand the fleet or retire one of the 110's.
That's okay in my book.
Great video net to see what you have but i thought backhoe would be in there too but i can see just these 5 ! have a great week ! Curt :-)
+Kioti CS2410 backhoes don't make the top 5. Probably because of their cost, we sell a lot but not nearly as many of these other things
i forget a loader is even an attachment sometimes cause ever tractor has one
minds well say the wheels and tires are an attachment
Just goes to show how far we've come. I'm sure my grandparents who farmed their whole lives in Europe would drop their jaws to see how amazingly useful these tiny tractors are these days.
They did it all by hand their whole lives.
Ro king the information. Thanks Neil

how much for one with an excavator, dozer and digger?

either that, or watch the video on 'the most misunderstood control on a tractor'. the 3pt is linked to the mower deck height.
You probably locked your mowing deck in the up position. You have an adjustment below the seat . Turn it to say 3 and see if that helps.
And flail mower, wood chipper and backhoe.
How much for the snowblower attachment? Have a Bx2680
Need to contact a salesman, lots of options. 8002223373
Interesting that the most popular attachment is not needed for the next three most popular attachments. Surprised no bucket or blade in top 5.
I thought that implements are equipment that attach to the 3-point hitch, and attachments are for the front end loader? I was expecting pallet forks to be the most popular "attachment".
+sideskraft attachments in implements are kind of used interchangeably
I have a bx1880 Kubota I am looking for a tiller rear tine

Dumb question would a 1000 pto on a rotary mower do a better job than a 540 pto ?
Rob Pond
Same, just geared different
1000 pto is a way to transfer HP with lighter weight components. If you needed to move 200 Hp to an implement, you would need heavier components to do it at 540 RPM than 1000. Its just an engineering tool, it does not make the implement function differently.
I don't own a tractor, I don't have a need for a tractor, and I can't afford one. Why have I watched 5 of these videos?

The same reasons as I do; envy and a desire for more “boy’s toy).
Because you spend your time watching videos instead of earning income - which would allow you to save enough money to buy a tractor.

I am looking for a loader attachment and bucket for a bx1500, are they still available also I heard there is an after market backhoe to fit this model
Loader yes
Backhoe no.
Do you have an LA181 and bucket for sale?
I saw on the Kubota website that the Grand L series now has a front mount flail mower. Have you guys sold any of those?
+Justin Rumbley our first one is going out in about a month. We will be doing a video of it before it goes
Justin Rumbley kubota power tiller
did you ever do the video? If so, do you have a link?
Класс
Box blades
Hi Neil, I just bought a bx2380 from my local dealer, is there a snow box that will work with my loader? Thanks for the videos.
Landpride makes a snow push for the kubota bx
WHAT, no backhoe??
+Flood Kevan does not make the top 5 😀
Flood Kevan back hoes are not good for your tractor... it puts immense amounts of pressure on the hydraulics. They cannot do any real work at all...
