Thanks for the tip Dave. Am a fairly new owner and ran into this when putting on a Herd 750s Seeder and this was exactly the problem. Keep up the good work and happy Thanksgiving to you👍
I'm sitting here having my coffee and your new video pops up. I about sprayed my coffee all over myself when I saw what you did. Thank you for giving me a a huge laugh as I start my day. Good to see you.
lol these type of videos take a little more work. I have a few of these style on my channel. most of them are from way back so they are pretty old. been a few years since I made one like this. it is a great tip and I was so glad jim posted the comment.
Mech Uno, Isn't that the truth. You never know what you might find Dave doing, that we haven't heard about yet . Who knows how many people out there are also praying for him .
I was happy to see another video from you and then to hear my name mentioned was pretty wild. I discovered a video you did on the bucket level indicator some time ago and have been watching your videos ever since. I made that level indicator the next day and it still serves me well. By the way the best paint match for the Kubota is sold at Wal-Mart and called lobster red. I forget the brand, but you should be able to find it. I look forward to many more videos with one or two Dave's! Prayers!
sweet tip on the paint Jim! I may just do a video on that soon. what brand is this lobster red? krylon maybe? i know walmart sells Krylon paint. glad you enjoyed the video. I hope you did not mind me including your name. the prayers are much appreciated.
Dave, I found my old can of paint and it is actually rust-oleum brand paint. They never write the actual color on the can, but there was a barcode sticker on the can that said lobster red on it. I actually got that tip from another video, but can't remember who it was (getting old). I probably would not paint my whole tractor with it, but it's very difficult to tell that my bucket level was not factory paint.
Nice Dave! That's some fancy special effects! And a good tip as usual. Should help the new tractor folk out a lot. Great to see a new tractor video from ya buddy. Hope you're feeling well!
I'm still hanging in there. they are on me about more cancer surgery soon. I'm honestly just exhausted with it all. maybe come spring I will reschedule more surgery. thanks for checking in on me and watching my video.
Ha, that is so neat. I liked how your other self decided to take over and his tapping his foot while you're explaining what you're trying to accomplish. Great video and effects. As always, informative and on the money. Man, I watched this at least 5 times, its that good, Dave (smile). Take care of yourself, brother.
thanks Don, I enjoyed making this video but it was a lot of work. so many scenes, so many audio files, so much processing, not to mention the first two attempts did not turn out well enough to use. I did enjoy making this video. its been fun to read all the comments from friends who got a kick out of it. I have made several of these types of videos over the years of being on youtube. they are way back in the youtube archive. I hope to make a few more like this.
My brother had the same thing happen to him. He was abducted by aliens and they brought two back instead of just keeping him like they should. Now I have two of em mooching money and borrowing equipment. It was a sad day when the mothership brought them boys back. Excellent video by theway-as always. You get a lot of work out of that L2800. Been thinking about replacing my old Ford with one.
huge difference between the good ole fords like the 8n and such to these new tractors. some good point some not so good points. the tractor available today that is closest to equivalent of the L2800 is likely the L2501 which is a really nice tractor. my neighbor just bought one on my recommendation and he loves it. he got a L2501 with a front end loader, woods rear discharge finish mower, land pride box blade, 18 ft equipment trailer to haul it on for 21,000.00 which is a great deal for a brand new tractor that size. plus no dpf stuff. if I went bigger than mine I'd jump up to the L3901 or larger. glad you enjoyed the video. just pick the best out of the two brothers and get rid of the other one no one will likely miss him. lol
I have to throw some humor in there every now and then. these are fun to make, although they can be frustrating to make as well. shot this one more than once.
thanks I have a couple I have done over the years on here. fun project but very time consuming and battling the lighting issues is a pain, not to mention the video editing and audio. I'd love to make more like this. I'm super glad you enjoyed it and I really appreciate the compliment!
so true I neglect my tire pressure at times as well. I noticed just yesterday that I need to check mine on the rear. just to make sure they match. really should check them twice a year after the season changes.
Great stuff Dave !!! Thank you my friend !!! I was so happy to see you post a video !!! Man I pray you are doing well !!! I think about you a lot !! Take care of yourself and may God richly you !!!!! Eddy
thanks JP it was a bit of work involved which is why I do not do many like this I think this is my third or fourth video like this. appreciate the comment and thanks for watching.
Great tip Dave to pass on. I'm all for easy. I do use my old heavy duty blade that might not be square, but change the angle on it all the time any way on my drive way, to maintain a crown, as it is a steep 100 yd. grade.
at the very least the measurement will get you close which is a time saver. I have an old blade myself its a tad worn but still works well for my needs.
I got my old blade back in mid-70's when we moved from town and I got my old 1948 8n ford tractor, it and a 8' disc came with it. The blade is heavier than what I see sold now day's. It has replaceable cutting blade, will slide side ways by loosing 5 bolts either direction. It made the little 8n squat when you lift it and so did the 8' disc. Oh, forgot the cultivator with fenders .
that is an old one. they don't make them like that anymore. wish mine was that heavy although mine is an old lienbach from back years ago and is a lot heavier than you can get now days its still not quite as heavy as the old iron you would see on the 8n fords. I'm surprised the 8n could pull a 8 foot disc your 8n must have had a good granny gear installed for pulling that beast. my Kubota pulls a 6ft disc but that thing is heavy back there and I know she is back there when I used it. I avoid using that and use my tiller instead. its been super hot here. dangerous heat 104 yesterday according to the temperature gauge outside and humidity was up there five minutes outside and I was soaking wet. hope you are having a great day. stay cool and hydrated.
Does your clone have his own channel because I'd love to subscribe to it? Great tip and fun video Dave! I sometimes use a level protractor to set my implement/quick hitch level. I set it on the tractor operator deck and center the bubble, then I set it on my implement/quick hitch and adjust the lift arm until the bubble is centered. You could check various points on the tractor to ensure that you have a valid zero. Love your channel!
that is a great idea! where is a good place to purchase one of those? I may do a video on it as well. really appreciate you watching my channel Glad you enjoyed seeing my drone although he can be annoying at times. lol ha ha. he talks way to much! lol
assuming you are talking woods brush hog like the "woods brushbull 60 inch" the pto hp of your tractor is 22.5 and it should hand a 5 ft " 60 inch " brush hog just fine. if 48 inches will cover your rear tire tracks then a 48 inch would work well with out loading your tractor in heavy thick stuff at higher ground speeds. if it were me I'd go 60 inch and if you get in some thick nasty stuff that is bagging down the tractor then slow down your travel speed or over lap the cut so you only cut a 48 inch wide pass at a time. then in normal conditions you can cut the full 5ft. I hope to do an additional follow up video to my brush hog series to show some of this in practice. I hope I answered your question. if you have any questions please feel free to ask and I will do my best to answer.
Hi, seen you comment on DE Nichols's channel and had to drop by and after seeing Kubota, had to watch, great video guys! Also, I have joined your channel and even though I know my click is a drop in the bucket when your at 4K, (Big congrats on that by the way and will certainly hang around for more) was wondering if maybe you could come by and see what we do and if you like what you see (I recommend the 1.25 mile windmill train to start), maybe become a member of ours as well? We are a husband and wife team that specialize in cinematic shorts featuring mostly rural scenes but also trains, trucks, etc. Hope to see you soon and would be greatly appreciated if you can, cheers and all the best
As always, thanks Dave! Hey Dave, have you ever had your front axle begin to leak after using your loader with heavy loads? I’ve been doing full bucket loads of 1 1/2 rock with my L3830 and suddenly developed a leak near my right front wheel housing. Just wondering what your experience has been or anyone else looking at your channel.
yes I have and I talk about this in several of my videos. this is why rear weight ballast is so important. when you move heavy loads in your front bucket the weight shifts to the front axle. then when turning while moving that load it tears the seal. rock is very heavy, wet dirt is very heavy and when doing that type of work I try to install my weight ballast to counter that load back to the rear of the tractor and away from the front axle. fortunately for me when this happened my son was working for Kubota corporation as a certified repair technician. he had access to all the repair manuals and the knowledge to do the repair. I was sick at the time and was unable to video the repair but it took him less than thirty minutes start to finish. so far I have had no further issues. now with that said I also did not use the Kubota front differential fluid instead I replaced the fluid with Lucas heavy duty gear and engine oil. its much thicker than what comes standard in the front end. its so thick that unless you have a really bad leak you could likely replace what is in yours now with the lucas and not even have to replace the seal. its a gamble I was going to take until my son showed up and replaced the seal. I still installed the lucas in there and I have had no issues using the lucas in the front differential. every where else I use Kubota products except there and the engine oil I use the rotella that everyone else also uses.
daveknowshow thanks so much for that advice. I topped the transaxle fluid off today with Super UDT (didn’t take much) and cleaned it all off today and while I was using the tractor doing more loads, I was careful not to turn sharply but still had some heavy loads. It never leaked during my use because I was checking it off and on however when I took it back to the pole barn and parked it, I went to check it and it began leaking quite a lot all of a sudden. It’s strange. I will update the oil to the thicker stuff and test some other theories. Thanks again Dave and God Bless You.
you may also check the vent hose that goes from the front axle to a spot under the hood most of the time. see mine in this video here. ruclips.net/video/jQTFkG68OhE/видео.html
You have a cloning machine too? I have a cloning bucket that RUclips did not think it was appropriate for most advertisers so they demonetized it. I have always wanted to clone myself. Just think of how much work I could get done. My adjusting link on my grey market F15D Yanmar is hydraulic. I hate it. It keeps moving on me. I have been wanting to buy a complete aftermarket 3 point kit for a while now.
ye the hydraulic tilt can move while in use. I have not installed one on mine yet for that very reason. the do make a control valve to help with that leak down issue but it still may go down some. I rarely need to tilt anything on the back except the road blade and bottom plow. the road blade I tilt using the top link instead of the side link. I'm not sure why youtube has not yet targeted me like it has other folks on here. the only thing I can figure is I been on here so long making videos and have never once had an infraction against me or posted anything remotely questionable. they did mark two of my poems as not suitable for all advertisers. but so far that is all. of course I rarely check it so for all I know there is a lot more now. maybe I should go check on that now. lol
you could install an adjustable link on both but typically one is standard because you will never need to tilt any further than the range that one can provide by itself.
I'm doing ok. been off and on looking at youtube. I've had a lot of Dr appointments lately so that has kept me busy. hope you are doing well. have you made any new videos? I have not been notified of any lately. hope you continue to make videos I really enjoy watching them.
Did a few videos but the last while not so much because I wanted some extra money so I took an on call job and a local corporation. Also I have been working with the local atv club and my provinces atv association. Been a busy month which is busier then I want to be. Next month should return to normal and I hope to get a video out a week. Hope to see some more of your informative videos. Cheers and take care!
Thanks for the tip Dave. Am a fairly new owner and ran into this when putting on a Herd 750s Seeder and this was exactly the problem. Keep up the good work and happy Thanksgiving to you👍
thanks John glad you found it helpful!
I'm sitting here having my coffee and your new video pops up. I about sprayed my coffee all over myself when I saw what you did. Thank you for giving me a a huge laugh as I start my day. Good to see you.
two for one bonus video! ha ha lol
Great tip Dave and Jim!
You just set the video making bar higher.
You are a man of many talents.
lol these type of videos take a little more work. I have a few of these style on my channel. most of them are from way back so they are pretty old. been a few years since I made one like this. it is a great tip and I was so glad jim posted the comment.

LOL! Dave, you have that doubling technique down like a pro! Very well done! Oh, and a good tip on the 3 point too!
I have to throw some humor in there every now and then. these are fun to make, although they can be frustrating to make as well. shot this one more than once.
OH MAN! Dave, LOL that has to be the coolest video I have seen in a long time and funny too. Thanks For this one, just great.
thanks brother fun to make after its done lots of work to get it there. this one turned out ok for the amount of time I put into it.
Dang Dave, I seen Hollywood movies that didn’t do as good as you did with the cloning. Great job, one of my favorite videos of yours.hats off to ya.
thanks I have a couple I have done over the years on here. fun project but very time consuming and battling the lighting issues is a pain, not to mention the video editing and audio. I'd love to make more like this. I'm super glad you enjoyed it and I really appreciate the compliment!
Equal Air pressure in tires is a must and that goes without saying BUT some people dont check tire pressures very often
so true I neglect my tire pressure at times as well. I noticed just yesterday that I need to check mine on the rear. just to make sure they match. really should check them twice a year after the season changes.
Thanks for the tip, my post hole digger is leaning to one side, I know know how to check and adjust it.
awesome, I'm here if you need help
Great stuff Dave !!! Thank you my friend !!! I was so happy to see you post a video !!! Man I pray you are doing well !!! I think about you a lot !! Take care of yourself and may God richly you !!!!! Eddy
richly bless you!!! Sorry!
i'm still alive Ray I'm pushing forward every day. praying the Lord bless you immensely as well.
Dave you were beside yourself in this video! Now I have to schedule an eye doctor appointment because I’m seeing double. :-)
lol to funny! glad you enjoyed it
Wow - that's pretty cool. Have no idea how you pulled that off. Good info too. Thanks
thanks JP it was a bit of work involved which is why I do not do many like this I think this is my third or fourth video like this. appreciate the comment and thanks for watching.
Nice love the video
thank you very much!
Great video !!!

thanks for stopping by
Thanks Dave.
I think this is one of the best tips for leveling I have videos. really takes the guess work out.
great video thank you
thanks for stopping by the channel
BRILLIANT tip
thanks for dropping by!
That was so cool Dave. Now you can make a video on how you did that. Lol
I have a couple video on my channel I did over the years. took a lot of work to get this one done.
Dude! That was awesome!
glad you enjoyed it
Hi Dave, Maybe you can answer a question. I have a Kubota L2500Dt, would a Wood 48 or 60 suit me best

cool effects This would work great better than standing on your head to read a tape meassure from the ground to the implement.
for sure a great tip, lot of work but enjoyed making it.
Great video work
thanks John! really appreciate you taking your time to watch my video. glad you enjoyed it.
Good to see your twin brother Steve is in town for the weekend.
I'll bet some of your viewers just thought it was a cool video effect eh? ;-)
ha ha yup seems that way. always annoying when steve visits messing with my video shoots. lol
daveknowshow That was really well done by the way!
thanks Jim!

Can the adjustment link be applied to either or both lift bars?
you could install an adjustable link on both but typically one is standard because you will never need to tilt any further than the range that one can provide by itself.
Oh by the way, I just adjust my hydraulic linkage to level the three point hitch.
still need to measure and set a reference point. i hope to get me a tilt hydraulic cylinder someday
Great info Dave, what's your twins name lol.
lol I call him stupid and a few other choice words when I screw up. lol
Hey Dave. How are you doing. It's been awhile since I heard from you. Hope all is going well.
I'm doing ok. been off and on looking at youtube. I've had a lot of Dr appointments lately so that has kept me busy. hope you are doing well. have you made any new videos? I have not been notified of any lately. hope you continue to make videos I really enjoy watching them.

Amazing how close your voices are:)

I appreciate you sharing that tip. Good info.
OMG really? JFC!
