- Time to do a little more back filling. Need to make more room for "Other" things ;) This is an unedited video so you might find it a little boring. Thanks for checking us out and be sure to drop by our web site.

Just fun to watch and learn ... and realize I instinctively know some things of operating a tractor ... Thank You once again!
Bill Amore
Great Bill. Glad you enjoyed it.
Hi Paul, thank you for the video of you with your new tractor. That one doesn’t mess around.The auto throttle is impressive. That wind could go away.
Thanks for the vids. My 13yr. old watches them for hours as he already has his own little business operating equipment. I get to retire,,"finally" from my many years of my truck driving delivery route at 55,,yeah union job,lol,,,so I am going to invest into my son and getting him some newer equipment,,plus it gives me something to do,,lol. My son does very well with his old IH equipment that I got him with allot of attachments. We also have access to larger equipment that we use also. I grew up a farmer boy and my son loves to operate equipment..he looks the part too,,,lol,,,a big boy at 240lbs of linebacker size. He is a great worker and gets tons of calls. Other kids sit around, he is out there digging with the backhoe to install new water lines, doing new landscaping, driveways, septic work etc. I am looking at the Kubota line up, and we need a smaller model to fit in places.
Tractor is doing a fine job of moving material quickly. I'm impressed.
It's a nice machine. My buddy owns the dump trucks and we do work for him. When we call looking for fill he throws every truck he has at me and I get my work done fast because of it. I do the same for him when he needs us.
Another awesome video Paul and Kathy.
Mike Collard Thanks Mike :)
Nice seeing the 5740 getting a work out. Your parking lot is getting bigger and bigger. I got my B2650 the last year with out the DPF. This coming year I think they will be putting the DPF on everything. Can't wait for the next one, you two have a nice day and be safe.
John Warden Thanks John. The "B" series is a great series. Just about handle anything. With the evenings getting shorter each day we're trying to get this last addition to our property completed quickly. We got it just about completed. Just waiting on the delivery of some red crushed stone and it's all done with a video to follow. Have a great day my friend.
That was a fun and no pressure job... need one once in a while :)
Bob Kelland So true my friend. Went back at it at 3 today. Almost done and very happy with it.
Anyone else just incapable of getting over how nice that exhaust growls when you floor it?
love watching you work in that machine loved the video wasn't expecting one so soon this week come on with part two .
elias furlong Thanks Elias. Part 2 will be up this week. We have all the back filling done. All graded and now we are waiting on the delivery of 16 tons of red crushed stone. Once spread it's a completed job (For this year) ;)
Paul Short hi paul, I'm from Germany I see my grad to their viedeos have ne own company I'm about out of place to wander, looking now, here's a job I give them out my mail torsten.scheffler3@gmail.com would appreciate what to hear from them
O man Paul love the video!!!!:-) I'm 11 years old and I am hoping to get a kubota soon! Thanks for all the vids!
BigRed Hey BigRed. Glad your enjoying them. Hope you get your Kubota soon. Thanks for watching.
Enjoyed the tractor footage Paul. Havent used my BX much this summer so at least I can watch you run yours... ;-)
Colin
***** Thanks Colin. You might not have used it much but at least you have it if you need it :)
Thats the trouble living here....,EVENTUALLY I'm gonna need it!! LOL
Paul, like your wife said, she's probably irreplaceble.... Hahahaha.... Forget about the camera!! Nice video, as always... By the way I have a KubotaL4740, and the only problem I have with it, which is a MAJOR problem, is that I don't have enough jobs or things to do with it!!!!!!!!
I have watched several of your video's and they are very informative.It's interesting that the build quality of the Kubota tractors can sometimes be a little dodgy(it's the same in the US) because they are known for building one of if not the best small diesels.In the marine industry engine marinisers such as Beta and Nannidiesel have based their small engines on Kubota.They are quickly becoming as or more popular than the original benchmarks Yanmar and Volvo.It's almost like the engine and tractor are built by 2 different companies.Although I have yet to use one I,ve read good things about Kioti and many bad things about Mahindra.My experience as a service technition and end user is with John Deere,Kubota and Mitsubishi(shame you can't get those anymore).Anyway,thank you and keep the vids coming.
Nice post Bruce. I don't know how Mahindra got to be the biggest tractor company in the world. I haven't been impressed with their product. Thanks for watching. Nice to know your out there.
Unedited . . . no worries! Love watching the 5740 at work. Thanks!
That's great. I almost didn't upload it because I felt it might be like watching paint dry but I know we have guys out there that like to see machines working so that's why it's up.
Paul Short "machines working".....it doesn't get much better than that!
Great video Paul ;) I wish that I was there lol
Matthew Morehouse Thanks Matthew.
If you plan on doing a lot of leveling you should get a box scraper, makes the job a lot more efficient.
Nice video...I didn't find it boring at all. So far the expansion is looking good. The first thing I said to myself when I saw the 5740 start up and drive out of its tent was "It's Alive"...It must feel strange to get in the 5740 in just a t-shirt but you have used it quite a bit this summer so I guess it's not so strange...But before you know it you'll be pushing that white stuff around again...I'll be looking forward to another part of this.
After using the BX25D all summer it do seem strange getting into the 5740. It's technically a new unit with only 206 hours on it. With all the options I've added its a very comfortable machine to use. You won't see it used much this winter though but you'll see something else instead ;)
Ok then...I am quite interested to find out what this new thing will be this winter...Will we have to wait until winter to find out?
Tyler Donovan do b I 998
that's fun stuff !!
MrFrankturbo1 Cool!
nice job of playing with / on your tractor .ooooppppsss my bad nice work you did & your right whoever uses pick / shovel sure makes it easier with the right tools for any job as you well know
, next time it rain's just maybe offer the wifey ( Kathy ) to sit in the bx 25 so she don't get wet .while she was so nice to tape it for us . i'll give her the go ahead ..you'll just have to clean the mats if they get muddy .........lol
my wife and i went for a nice little wife 3 day what ever she wanted to do kinda thing , so she picks& say's lets go take trip around the thumb and up to place called tawas Michigan , where i about lived for 30 yrs . was up there every week-end in summers and hunted up there in fall, fished in spring / summer / & fall , i not been up there in about 4 yrs was nice trip , she is from the state Wisconsin so she never seen that coast line tree's turning color .also pretty , but i know what comes next so not really looking forward to that yet .
take care be safe
BIGMAN FROM MICHIGAN Ah Kathy is tough. If I let her get in the tractor and out of the rain she'll expect it all the time lol. Well that was nice of you and your wife to go on that little trip. It much be beautiful there now. I wonder has the place changed much since you've been gone from there?
Thanks for watching and it sure is nice seeing your still commenting.
Paul Short oh yeah has it ever looks like a giant city now , was just a 2 lane rd then few yrs ago they made a turning lane and now it's almost done and its going to be a 5 lane road for almost id say 30 miles maybe 40 just unreal they have made 3 little towns into 1 big 1 now .
always looking forward to your vids really enjoy them so thank you both for all the hard work it takes
Hey man,just want to stop in and say hello to you and wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a happy healthy prosperous new year.
All the best.
Cheers from Newfoundland
I wish my tractor had lights like that on it
4:50...run the cops are coming...lol
Mark Donaghy
Ya I called the cops on the wife but she went and hid and they couldn't find her. I'll get my chance again lol.
Hi Paul. You my man are a true operator. I've been in the concrete business for about 25 years and to make a long story short I lost all my equipment and business due to health problems. But now they got me fixed up I'm starting back up again and was wondering if this size Kubota tear out concrete driveways. I hade a 95' ford 3930 and it would do the job but Kubota seems to be cheaper.
ryan guile yeah but they are called Newholland now
Honestly, anything will get the job done given enough time and effort. The choice is yours.
How much does it cost to order in a load from a dump truck ? Me and my mom are wondering so that we can do a similar protect this summer ( a place to put everything behind the barn )
👍
Have you ever used a tractor and loader all day without a hydrostat transmission cause i have and it sucks to clean out our barn with and our tractor is 2 wheel drive as well
Lov watching the 5740 but my dream tractor is the John Deere 4066r and a ford f450
Logan P Thanks Logan. The 5740 was my dream tractor but I sure could live with the ones you named as well :)
Well done - as you know it's lots of time in the seat to grade like that. The older machines you drove didn't have HST like your kubota ?
Before moving here I operated heavy equipment for a living in an iron Orr mine. The tractor used in this video would have been considered a joke because of its size back then but it's more comfortable than anything I've used in the past. Everything except one road grader I operated in the past was HST. The largest loader I operated was a Cat 992. I do enjoy our Kubota's. Without them we couldn't get any work done on the property.
When did you get a new tractor
Maybe you should try cranking up the snowblower and using it to level and smooth out the material lol. Only joking of course.
Great work as always
Thanks
I would but I was afraid there might be a rock in it lol.
Great video Paul and Kathy! Nice seeing the 5740 out working again. A video with trucks and tractors, what's not to like? Being a former truck driver I thought about getting in on the conversation below but thought better of it. I'm retired now so I'm just going to enjoy the rest of my life. I still love seeing the big trucks operating and give them kudos for the job they do for all of us. They are like our service men and women, they don't get the credit they deserve. Can't wait to see the finished product. What is the red rock you put down called, besides red rock? ;) Does it have a special name? It looks like it packs down pretty good. Have a great week Paul and Kathy and thanks for putting up the videos. God Bless... Levi~~
mi2tn Hi Levi. There's something about trucks and equipment for sure. The first piece of equipment I started out on was a Cat D-8 with a ripper. I was 16 years old and full of piss and vinegar lol. Thought I could move the world with that thing. Your right. Truckers are the unsung heroes of the work force especially here in Newfoundland. We don't have a rail system anymore so EVERYTHING have to be trucked in. No trucks, no nothing. As for our service men and women. God Bless them all. Give a listen to this. Pretty well sums it up my friend. God Bless you and yours sir. Terry Kelly - A Pittance of Time (Official Version)
mi2tn Oh I forgot. We just call it red crushed stone. There's only one place to buy it here. It's crushed locally and not cheap. 16 ton is almost $400.
Wow, that video gave me goose bumps. Great, just great. Thanks for putting it down so I could see it. You're right, it pretty much sums it up. 16 tons, so that would be 25 dollars a ton. Not cheap but it sure does look good and I was watching your back wheels as it spun some and it just kind of lays there instead of getting thrown all over like gravel does. I like that stuff. Thanks for getting back with me and "Thanks again" for the video. Stay safe...Levi~~
Paul Short By the way, while you were doing the Cat D-8 at 16, my first tractor was a Allis Chalmers-C and a WD-45 at 13 which is when Dad and Mom broke away from the Amish. Greatest day of my life. :)
Interesting that both the BX and the 5740 are designed to 'spin out' when they reach their plowing capacity. BTW that would be a good place for Kathy to learn how to operate the BX, Mr camera operator.
*****
No matter what you operate there comes a time if it's powerful enough that it will break traction and these tractors will always break traction before they run out of power. Yup. That's where Kathy will be doing the BX trials.
Next time you should use the snow plow to spread the dirt
What led lights would recommend with a budget of like 100$(being only 14 I have a small budget):) . I'm thinking lights on the canopy of my new Holland in my videos. Keep the videos coming
Ag TV Go over to eBay and look for a seller called ledstores. They sell great lights at a very reasonable price. Thanks for watching our videos. Keep safe.
wow that little bota with the olympia thing on the back had a lot of weight on the front. looks like near 500lbs. Is that cause the Kabony is so heavy?
Mark Donaghy
Ya I had to add the extra weights to keep the front down. It's been four years since I did that project and it's used daily in the winter with no issues.
I'm saying that 5740 has a foot throthel, dose it? Btw great vid
Jerry Major No foot throttle. It has Auto Throttle. When set you just hit the HST pedal and the engine picks up at the same time. Gotta love the Kubota Grand L's for that feature.
Hi Paul, wondering what type of bucket or manufacturer that made the bucket on your L5740? Been searching the net cant find anything similar to that. Thanks
It's a Kubota bucket that was built in Georgia but the adaptations on it are made by me. Thanks for watching.
did you make a video on making the adaptations?
No I didn't. The bucket can be converted to a double grapple. It also have a upper spill guard on it. I also fabricated a removable tooth bar for it and it comes off for the winter months.
Im curius what is the black box olympia at the start of the video?
jean-xavier lajeunesse
That's an ice resurfacer
I see you have a LA854 on that Kubota. Just got one myself and was a bit surprised to see they dont have bushings on the loader pins. Any thoughts what to do when they wear loose?
Cheers
Keep them greased and they shouldn’t wear.
@@7863348 will do, religiously.
@@7863348 Maybe pull the pins once in a while, wipe and re grease to get any grit out. Or if feeling lazy lots of pumps of grease to flush it clean.
Do the FEL every 8 hours religiously . Three pumps of the grease gun on each zerk and you’ll be just fine 👍
@@7863348 cheers and best wishes from Yorkshire !
Or the snow blower lol
What's your price for fill there ? and what grade is it ?
I think this stuff is $70. Per load. It's what they call "fines" from the crusher. It compacts to a very hard surface once compacted. Up here if they add crushed stone to it, it will be called Class A. Once it's classed as Class A then the price goes up to $270. Per load.
Use that snow blower to spread your rocks
92MikeKY Should have ;)
I seriously think you could build custom parts to sell here in the US. I know I would love a modified 6060! find room for a turbo as well!
+Jeff Nelson
Thanks. Like our 5740 the 6060 is turbo charged.
Oh...didn't know that.
+Jeff Nelson
I'm not a fan of the 60 series. I don't like the Tier IV emissions so with only 250 hours on the 5740 I'll keep it and I'll move up to a Deere or a Caterpillar next time around.
+Paul Short I'm a Kubota fan. There are pros and cons to them all. I've got a 3200 now. the new 6060 will do all and more I need it to. I've got 550 hrs in 3 years. Not 1 problem yet!
+Jeff Nelson
That's great. Glad to hear your happy with your tractor. I really like mine too but I'll still go to the Deere Or Cat full size backhoe the next tine around unless some tractor company wants to give me there's to do videos on it lol.
HAHA, TEASPOON
hi, here's a mod idea for your bx, have you ever thought of putting a lever on the rops to control forward and reverse while using the back hoe, think it would save you a lot of time not having to get on and off every time you want to move a couple of feet .Ps was wifey hiding in the trees because she afraid of getting run over.:)
carjacker0 I actually and I may just do that this winter. I'm sure it would be a great feature to have. Ya wifey would be worried for sure. Thanks for posting.
What is that green pole
LED streetlight
you need a hobby farm....too many machines for the space???
Lol he dont kno where he want to start....
You should get different rear implements
+Jacob Smith
Why?
Maybe because nobody wants to see a snow blower in September lol
JC farming and ranching JC farming and ranching n
How much heavier is your 5740 with rear wheel weights? Do you have calcium or other tire ballast too??? I have calcium, but the ass of my 4240 is light without an implement. Plus I have the deep lug ag tires.
I can't forget The Wonderful Mrs. Kathy!!!!
Have a great week my friends. :)
The rear wheel weights add 800 lbs then there's the weight of the rear blower. I use a large capacity snow bucket in the winter as well with the tractor and the rear ballast is good. I never went with fluid filled tires. Kathy says thanks!
Paul Short
I brought that up to you before too... we talked about RimGuard. Still amazed with the weight you do have (both on the wheels and hanging behind them) how light the rear end gets on the 5740 FEL loaded. Damn good thing you have 4WD or you'd get stuck a lot... Need that Kubota mod guy (wink) to come up with a way to move the front axle about 15" further forward!!!
Thanks for the mention on the previous videos. Not necessary but hope you are able to develop something for the disabled tractor owners... Need to finish lunch and get back out on my Therapy Tractor!
ramosel The stuff you see me moving with the 5740 is very very heavy. It's about the heaviest materiel I've ever used so there's no wonder why the tractor looks light in the rear. That tractor is used 95% of the time for snow clearing. It's only on these little special projects it sees the light of day in the summer and that's why the snow blower is left on. I've been thinking about adding a back hoe to it to give it something else to do but i haven't decided on that yet. We appreciated you calling. It was very nice of you. I was right in the middle of cutting the rops off a BX when you called lol. Yes I'd love to do a full re-mod for a disabled person. Discovery wants us to do a TV series I'd gladly do it if we could do the tractor thing. Keep well my friend and enjoy your tractor.
Paul, I would love to see you and Kathy do a Discovery channel series. It sounds kind of scary though. At least for those of us that are camera shy. (me)
Cameras don't bother me. I remember back in 2006 we had spoke out publicly about an International event that as Canadians we were involved in. As soon as it hit the news papers we had National TV networks calling on us to do interviews.
One network actually sent out a satellite truck with a crew and set up in the shop. I was wired up and stood in front of this Hugh camera on a tripod with an ear piece in my ear and the lady who I couldn't see asked me if I was nervous, I replied no, then she told me I would be on in ten minutes and 17.000.000 will be seeing this. I replied " I don't care, their not here in the shop".
The 20 minute interview went on with out a problem. She tried to trick me a few times without success during the interview. Spent the next 20 hours on the phone talking to Canadians all over the world because of it. All f them told me they really enjoyed it. Hey, it's only a camera lol.
By the way, I get a kick out of the way you pronounce "garage" with only the second "a". To my ear (and I think I am close to getting hearing aids), it sounds like "grage".
Well I guess everyone else is saying it wrong lol
Good video, except do you really need to run the flashing lights whilst running in your backyard???!!!
I’m a nerd, but come on...
Lol. Tractor Master. If I didn’t have them on half the viewers would say “ what’s the point of having them if your not going to have them on” Grow up boy.
the video is broken
Worked fine for me.
Worked well on my end.
Paul Short It took 5 attempts but finally played
Antony Kahil
It may have been because you got to the video before CZcams had it completely processed. I've seen it happen like that before. Sorry.
Paul Short Not your fault, even know when i try to play the video, it won't load, last night i was lucky to get it to work once out to 10 times, but know, i don't know
