In this video you'll get to see the Kubota GL5740 pushing wet snow and blowing it as well. Bonus video includes shop work and a little chat ;) Please Subscribe!
Paul- Your skill set is second to none... Watching you evaluate, design and fabricate has inspired me to improve my own humble skills, and I want to personally thank you and Kathy for taking the time to inspire and educate us on so many levels. God bless you both...
Thank you Scott. There's no better compliment than someone saying I've inspired them. When I hear that I realize why we still do videos. New video coming up shortly. Thanks for your support. 👍
Wow look at that smile!! Kathy, you made his week, Flu and all!! Happy birthday Paul! Enjoy your new toy! I thought at one point you broke a shear pin when you were going into a snow pile. Evil wet snow. Good equipment makes everyday chores tolerable, even fun. Now go get some rest or you will never get rid of that cold.
Craig Baillar Man I'm never getting rid of this flue. I've had that blower on two tractors since 2008 and I've only broken one shear pin. I was blowing out a compound and the officer said there was nothing under the snow. Well he forgot about the concrete block that got sucked into the impeller. I won't tell you what I said at the tie because I'm sure your to young to hear it but I put a new pin in and got paid for doing it lol. It's a great quality blower. Built like a battle ship. Take care.
Happy Birthday Paul! Boy Kathy, you sure do know how to make your man happy. I mean at the beginning of that video Paul is dragging through his work, hardly any smiles and then PRESTO CHANGO. Once you guys got back from his birthday outing, he's all as happy as can be!! Way to go! Looking forward to those Drone videos. Thomas
KubotaTee Thomas I think I was happy just to get out of the shop for the afternoon lol. Not to worry. Kathy's heart is always in the right place. She's really a saint. Been moding the drone and reading up on it. To cold to fly it though :( Take care my friend.
Good one Paul. I've had my Quadcopter for over a year now myself. Carbon fiber blades and practice, practice, practice a must. Took mine up in the clouds I couldn't see it. Had to hit the Return To Home button.....thought I lost it. Lol. Safe flying!!!
George A. Woods I've got a lot of experience with RC planes but this is the first quad. With GPS and compass it should be fairly easy. Did the firmware updates last night, red all the manuals, looked at a lot of video's. I'm familiar with the unit now but there's to much snow down to really want to try it. This is the new V3.0 model so It should fly nice. Not a nice feeling when you think you lost a craft. Glad it worked out well for you.
Those farm trucks take quite a beating but it looks like this one will be back to work in short order. Good job. And Happy Birthday too. It should be quite interesting to see what you get up to with that new toy. After Kathy has her lessons on the BX, point her to where the new fish-pond will be and tell her to have at it.
brians48now So true on the farm trucks and just about everything else on a farm. That's my plan with Kathy on the BX. She can do the digging and I'll do the flying ;) Some how I don't see that happening though :(
Happy birthday Paul, I didn't sit to close to my monitor for I do not want that cold. Your making a silk purse out of the GMC, enjoyed seeing the repairs.
liveinmyamerica Thanks buddy. It's a bad flue. I'm still suffering from it but i think I'll live. The old truck is working out well. I should have the rest of the parts today and it's back to it's hard life on the farm. Keep well.
Happy Birthday Bud , good to see orange and white again , wish it would snow here ! can't wait to put the Boss v-plow to the test for real , feel better !
Well, well, well, "Happy Birthday" sir Paul ...... how old? ......29 and holding? dang, you hold it well. lol. I got soooo excited when you announced that Kathy will be running the BX in the spring, I'm going to need a front row seat for that ..... somewhere either 1/2 mile away or 200 feet in the air ........ but ahhhhh you have that new drone so looks like I will be able to have my front row seat and still stay in the safety zone eh? Happy Birthday my friend!!
***** I did the calculations last night and I figure I'm one year older than dirt it's self lol. Yup Kathy using the BX will make for some interesting footage. The drone will protect us all lol. Thank you sir ;)
awesome tractor, the way you clean your driveway,, what you really need is a rotating broom brush then you'll be cleaning it like summer time...you do see to like close to perfection in the way you clean even the little left over.
great video looked like heavy snow we had more snow hear in plate cove west but it was nice and lite for plowing , and a big happy birthday and I knew your birthday gift be four you showed it take care and stay safe,
elias furlong Thanks buddy. The wet stuff isn't fun unless you have a big machine. That's why I hang on to the 5740. The BX would be brutal in this stuff. Thanks for the birthday wish ;) Keep well over there.
Happy Birthday Paul! And kudos to you Kathy for taking him out and getting him a gift. I'm glad you're getting some better Paul. Thanks for the video. Kathy must think we're a bunch of dim-wits for not just wanting to see someone pushing snow with a tractor but liking it too. :-) To try and justify it I have to say I learn something every time. Even if it's something I'll never use. I get it stored in my feeble mine so I can have more to forget as I get even older. There is a method to my madness. Anyway, hope you enjoyed your birthday and Kathy as well. Take care and God Bless. Levi~~
mi2tn Thanks buddy. Hey I'm like you. I like to learn things that I may never need to know but one can never tell when you might be able to use that info. I call it useless information but I still like to take it in for some reason. I watch tractor vids as well so we're all in the same boat my friend. Look after yourself.
Can't wait to see drone footage, and the pieces of metal you have on the bike lift are skid shoes/rock guards that go on the bottom of the cutterbar of a disc mower which is used to cut hay
CarolinaFarmer Yup. That's what those parts are. I didn't know and I seldom question what stuff is for. I get so much weird stuff here I never ask what it's for or does.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAUL! I see you have a great afternoon. Can't wait for some drone videos. Liked the snow plowing video and the extra bonus footage. That GMC has seen a rough life. I would harass you but since you are feeling ill. I'll save it for later. LOL! Get well soon!
Rick Anderson Thanks rick. This is one aweful flue. I can't shake it. don't know where I picked it up either. Ya the old truck is rough but it's will survive. Glad you enjoyed the video. Cheers.
Hi paul, happy birthday some cool camera angles on this one with you ploughing from outside your drive way, thumbs up to kathy for a very cool video. I am looking forward to see kathy on the bx. I got the DJI phantom fc40 quadcoptor drone for my birthday last year. You well have alot of fun with it but when it falls out of the sky you well have kittens.
AJ Close Thanks AJ. I thought she did a great job with the video shooting as well. It's cold out there holding that camera but she never complains. Congrats on your quad. They look like a nice tool to add to our video making. I'm coming from an RC back ground so I do know things can happen ;) If it just falls out of the sky I promise you'll hear me from where you are and the language won't be very nice lol
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAUL !! ....Hey how cool is that with a drone !! Nice job fitting that door on the truck.. Take Care and play safe !!......PS.....Drink plenty of orange juice, that might help you !!!
frank roden Thanks buddy. The old truck will work out ok. I get lucky with this stuff at times. I just can't shake this flue. Hope all is well on your end.
great vidoes you got! moving snow does get old, i live in the U.P. amount of snow we get varies. sometimes i wonder why we live so far north lol gotta be the summers!!
Kathy did a very nice job filming this one. And you did a very nice job plowing that. It didn't look that wet on camera. I kinda figured that the drone was coming since there had been a few videos you liked on it. Good luck with the drone. Maybe drone is definitely on my want list for myself to get but its way at the bottom. They are trying to make them illegal here so I'm not spending almost a thousand dollars on something I won't be able to fly. Hope you had a great birthday!
Tyler Donovan Thanks Tyler. Ya Kathy did do a nice job on this video. I thought the same myself. She's really after catching on to the CZcams thing. This drone was over $1600. plus tax and I seen them in the store for over $4000. I think me and the world is gone mad lol. Keep well buddy.
Happy Birthday Paul!, That is another thing we have in common (well almost), mine is January 12th. Ever notice how all the really gifted craftsmen are born in January? ;-)
5782d Yes come to think of it I've noticed that as well with the January babies and their talents and have always been a bit bitter about the fact It didn't hold true in my case ;) Thanks for the birthday wish my friend.
I got to say Kathy, your a trooper for standing outside while Paul was plowing snow !! And also I was gonna suggest Kathy plow and Paul video tape before we saw the drone. Happy Birthday Paul !!! Ive got to ask a question, when your blowing snow doing the front part of the driveway does your neighbor mind you blowing snow onto his property ???? Take care and God Bless and hope you get over the flu bug !!
hello6488 Kathy is the greatest.I'm glad she's doing the video's with me now. We have fun doing them. Na. the neighbor is great. Where you see the snow going is never used by her. Actually I mow it for her in the summer so she don't have to do it.
Paul is always driven... and Kathy freezes outside with camera. I will See that Kathy drive Pauls machine :) Powerfull Maschin searching for Schlüter Traktoren .. you can Watch there Germany traktors. Merry Christmas for all.
Happy BD my friend, and your lovely bride on the BX,, Hmmmm sounds like a fun time,, Enjoy the new toy,,,errrr tool I meant tool, ,,I mean now you can tell if the roof needs shoveled or the gutters need cleaned and you know stuff,,
Skeets K Thanks buddy. It will be interesting for me to see how she does. She's pretty smart and I think she's going to enjoy the experance. Keep well my friend.
hey Paul and Kathy, as your friend Bob might say " with friends like you who needs enemies " 😀😀 guess you've another birthday coming up soon if they're anything like mine they seem to be about 12 months apart 👍
perry smith II Thanks Perry. This one is the updated V3.0 version. I thought it might be good for our channel and give the viewers a different angle to see things at. Hope all is well on your end.
Why is it that I get a BX25 and all it snows is an inch each storm? sort of just teasing me and the BX! Never thought at 65 I'd be looking for snow! ... but it's on mid way through winter .... Busy in the Computer Lab ... I'll check out this video a bit later! [ How come you guys were not mentioned for an Oscar in documentaries? informative ..witty ... fun...]
Bill Amore 65! My friend you got another 35 years to wait for snow. You young fellers got no patients lol I know it's disapointing to not get any seat time but it will come. With a BX it's either snow or dirt so It's going to happen. Oh we were invited to the Oscars but Kathy is a very fussy lady and they couldn't provide the ride shade of red carpet and refused to attend. Hell I wanted to go just for the gift bag lol. Have a great weekend my friend.
Watching your vids make me feel calm for some reason! Haha! :) keep up the good work and make some summervideos using your frontloader please!! :)) greetings from Norway, where we eat this kind of snowfall for breakfast! 😎)
Happy birthday Paul now what happens if you crash the drone into Kathy while she's operating the bx and it causes her to crash. I'd have to say operator error haha enjoy your birthday and many more happy and healthy ones
Happy b-lated birthday! Holy Crap, Congrats on the new toy! Boy all that water would drive me nuts, I think you will have to add a floor drain in your shop. So what temp is your shop set at?
drom industry Thanks. There's a drain right by the ramp but when there's snow coming off the machines constantly there's not much we can do about it until it melts. As for the shop temp. that depends on how hard I'm working. I can have it set at 60 or as far up as 90 if need be.
Happy Birthday! So sorry you are sick and having to work. The metal items look to be off a rotary hay mower. Not sure of the brand but I myself have worked on more than a few. Would like your opinion of what kind of metal they are made of? They seem to be a very hard steel and weld like crap. Or at least I do on that steel!
J Harrison Thanks. It's been a rough flue. Even my doctor buddy was laid up with it for a week. Yes the parts are off a rotary mower. I don't know the brand name of them but they are only common 1/8th plate and are not hardened. These weld up really nice. I guess it all depends on the brand of the unit.
The reason for welding would be a quick fix until a new one can be ordered. I maybe have contaminated steel from miles contact with the earth. It really seems like a opposite forces are pushing back on the puddle and cause lots of spitting and popping. Is this how magnetized steel acts?
Greetings Kathy and Paul, Please forgive me if you answered my question in a previous video but I was just wondering if Kathy ever wanted to learn how to operate the 5740? Furthermore, have you ever changed the cutting edge on the plow or is it the original cutting edge from 20 years ago? And if its not the original, how long does a cutting edge last, for you, on the plow? Also, have you had the blower on the 5740 clog up from really wet or slushy snow? I watched a video and the person cut up a rubber mud flap from a truck and screwed/bolted it to the impeller fins to close the clearance between the edge of the fin and the housing, and the blower went through slush and wet snow and threw it a good 10 feet like it was dry fluffy snow and that impressed me. It was a two stage walk behind blower but I assume it can be done to 3 point hitch unit as well. Additionally, what is the small black rectangle at the bottom left of the small overhead door on the shop? Also, what brand tire inflator with the built-in air gauge were you using on the GMC's tire? The cheap one I have is 35 psi off and I would like a quality one that tells me the correct reading. I got what I paid for unfortunately. :) I apologize for influx of questions, I really enjoy watching your videos and happy belated birthday. :) - Jon in Pennsylvania, US
Jon Rushing Hi Jon. No.Kathy really never shown any interest in the 5740. She says it looks to complicated and says I do ok with it. I'd rather she get interested in doing shop work lol. I've owned the Arctic Poly blade since new in 1994. Its been used commercially all that time. The cutting edge is reversible and if you do it right and watch how it wears you can flip it over for a few years and use it again then go another few years and do the flip all over again. I got 15 years out of the first cutting edge before I replaced it. It's just a matter of knowing your equipment and keeping an eye on it. No. Clogging hasn't been an issue for mine. It's a 60 hp unit and can move a massive amount of slush and snow. I've seen home made impeller kits like you have described though and they do work. The rectangular black item in that door is a handle that was intend to open the door. It was never used because our doors are remotely operated and they don't even need to be touched. If you asking about the compressor in the shop it's made by Techquip. If your just asking about the gauge /air chuck its a Milton unit.You'll find that Milton builds about the most reliable pneumatic tools in the world in my opinion. Thanks for watching our video's. We really appreciate it. Great to hear your enjoying them.
Paul Short I looked into Milton and their products on Amazon and found nothing but positive reviews on all their products. I will definitely purchase from them and give them a try. Quality truly comes before cost and I learned that the hard way haha. Thank you for recommending them. Have fun "playing" with your new drone.
Im thinking of getting a new Kubota but want a 74" snow blower but I want enough power to run it what HP 70 I was thinking ? what are your thoughts ?? thanks
Happy late Birthday Paul , Hey do you guys still do your snow removal for some people and other businesses ? i remember some of your videos? Awesome video ..
Hi Paul and Kathy, We purchased a Kubota 2301 last Spring and have used it for mowing, hauling, landscaping and more. As Winter approaches I have a question for you. Our driveway is over 300', 12' wide drops from our house to the road 30'. We have a 52" bucket and I'm wondering if we can plow snow with that or should invest in a plow blade. We have a Honda track driven 30" snowblower but with warmer winters can only use for 50% of storms. It's not so much the investment but hate to buy something to sit in the yard thats not needed. Look forward to you input, Thanks!
Plowing with a bucket is not my idea of a fun time. It takes to long using the bucket. Buckets are only good for moving snow not plowing it. Get a good blade like I have in the video. Where it has the poly skin on the front and snow won’t stick to it and you’ll be able to angle it making a very fast efficient job of moving your snow. Yes it’s an added cost but because of the efficiency of the blade you’ll do your driveway in 1/3rd of the time meaning less seat time, less fuel, less wear and tear on your machine and more time for you to do what you want. Well you asked and I answered 😂
@@7863348 First off, thank you for such a fast response. You kinda told me what I knew, The right tool for the job. I'm gonna listen to your advise and head up to the dealer this week. Thanks again
Your kindly welcome. If you ever need cool accessories for that awesome tractor check out our web site. Keep well www.specialtyrepairscustommods.com/b-2601-accessories
Nice Job on the video. Have a quick question for you if you can. I have a John Dare 1023E, front bucket movement control level moves in all directions side to side up and down but the bucket and cylinders will not move. Sorry to say my tractor is outside covered up but I think it is frozen with the weather we have here in Michigan, at night around zero days in the low double digits right now. Tractor starts fine let it warm up for an hour still no movement in bucket. Tractor will drive forward fine and a little slower in reverse. What do you think I should try and do to get movement for bucket cylinders? Oh ya for the backhoe no movement of any of the cylinders. Not sure if I can get a way to heat any of it up or not out side. Can’t move it because the way the bucket is angled into the ground. Thanks, love your channel and the things you work on. Take care, be safe, later. Oh ya Happy Birthday there bud. Love your birthday gift, just getting into the drones myself have a smaller one just beginning I love it.
RDViper2013 Wow. You got a weird one there. Ok. First question. when you move the lever with the tractor running do you hear any whining or hear any change in sound? The next step if it was mine would be to remove any quick change couplers and plug them back in again then try your controls to see if that made a difference. Personally I can't see anything being frozen. Those systems are designed to operate in most any condition. A work shop manual would be your best friend at this point. The fact that there's nothing operating on the back hoe has me concerned. I put a link over on Tractor By Net in the Deere section for you. Head over there and if your not a member sign up, Its free and post the question there. someone may have ran into the same issue and might be able to tell you first hand the problem. Let me know what happens please. Thanks for your kind words. www.tractorbynet.com/forums/john-deere-owning-operating/
Happy birtday Paul, nice video this 1, katy´s recording its better than "gopro´s" :-) , omg, i was thinking the last days about how would you do, the videos with a toy of these. Always improving. Now the question is, what job you will do? drone or tractor? :-)
Gabelly66 Thanks buddy. Kathy always tell me I'm always pushing the envelope looking for new ideas. I've been like it all my life. If I commit to something I see it through and this CZcams thing is that way right now. I thought the drone would add a little more spunk to the video's and I think folks will like them. Time will tell on who runs what. the drone can be set on weigh points and once set don't require an operator. It will take off on it's own and do what I programmed into it. After the mission is over It will land it's self and shut it's self down.
I am beginning to see a pattern here you clear, it snows, you clear, it snows.....I wish I could say that if you don't clear it won't snow, but I know better.!! Ha Feeling back to 100% yet? Love watching others remove snow though, I could watch it all day long.......Oh and sorry Bud, but it looks like more snow is coming...not that you needed my help to know that!! Great video as usual.
larryz24 We get snow pretty well all the time. It might even rain this weekend. When your in it you deal with it. We are fortunate to have the equipment to deal with it. Most don't and that's nasty stuff. Flue is around 80% better but it's still hanging on. A lot of people are laid up because of it. So far no lost work hours. If I get sick I don't get paid ;(Thanks for watching my friend.
ghe Paul whot happened to the truck door hinges wind damage.? also you seem to have enough plant to clear the roads for a living, mabye you do. stay warm and may spring come earley to you and the misses.
brian king I guess you could call it abuse.The part that keep the door from opening to far failed and no one repaired it and that caused a strain on the hinges and the body metal which ended up failing. I used to plow a lot of snow but don't anymore. I keep the tractor for our property. Keep well my friend.
Paul Short a right, good looking truck, same in Europe the engine last for ever the body falls apart, im of for a walk we had s strong jetstream over scotland this winter and im still finding trees blown down alover the place its the worst iv ever seen, p.s. Paul type, catching a salmon on the ness, and youl find my vids my u.tube name is Megaking, click on that and youl see where i stay in scotland. by Paul.
If I ever have the money, I'd love to use a tractor similar to that one for plowing snow instead. Sucky part about using a pickup is that you can't put any downward pressure on the plow itself to scrape anything up or drag backwards effectively (plow just rides up on the snow.) How would you say it performs in these two situations?
cool progect paul ! love the slowing footage as well. I've been having some issues with my go pro , when i go to import videos it does all the importing stuff, then it says that iPhoto can't download the videos because there was an error with the videos , Thanks , Good video , hope you get better soon , Any ideas with my go pro ?
Hey Paul. Do you ever find the tractor lacking traction on the front wheels? I'm gonna be using my m135 kubota for snow work for the first time this coming season and I'm wondering if I'll need front ballast. Thanks!
I just saw the first of your videos, very entertaining. I used to plow my driveway and a couple of neighbours with a 1994 2.4 liter Toyota 4x4 (5 spd standard). It was amazing how much that little truck could push with a 7' blade. If I could buy a new pre-2005 4 cyl Toyota 4x4 (standard) I would do it in a heartbeat. Great little rigs with a solid drivetrain. Anyhow...the reason I started this comment was to tell you your web site (www.specialtyrepairs.ca) isn't working. I tried with a couple of different browsers and get the same error message; "No Start Page Could not display this Web Site as no Start Page has been configured. To configure a default starting page, set one of your Web Pages to be the Start Page. Please contact your Administrator for more information." Sorry for the long winded message !! Cheers, -joe-
I agree Joe they were a nice truck. They did rust pretty fast but other than that they were a nice machine. I announced in our latest video that we are now gone from Facebook, Twitter and we shut our web site down. Thanks for the heads up though.
OK, sorry, I didn't know. I got new video notice almost an hour ago and watched it right away !! It was the one where you made, installed and painted a spill-over top extension for a new BX25 bucked. You do very nice work !! Good tips too. It's evident how much the two of you enjoy each other, it's heart warming to see ! I've watched a nice few of your videos so far and am really interested in the Kubota tractors. If anything they should be paying you commission !! You're an ambassador for them..!! I was the same way for Toyota till I bought the (then new) 2005 larger mid-sized Tacoma. I drove those little 4x4 Toyota trucks since '79, that new one was a total disappointment. I wish they'd allow the Hilux in. :( Anyhow...I have a Kubota diesel in my boat and never had a second's trouble with it. I was surprised to learn (from you!) how inexpensive those little tractors are. I have a long driveway and clear all around my garage which was a pleasure with the old truck and plow. Takes me three hours with a snowblower and half of it with the wind in my face. I don't have enough room to store a tractor inside my garage so maybe I'll pick your brain on those zippered shelters you use...and, for a lead on a good used BX !! I know, I talk too much !!! Thanks, and Merry Christmas to you both... 'nite, -joe- ;-)
there you go trying to make me cold again showing all that white stuff and even worse the wet white stuff lol chicken truck i don't see a million lights on that thing oh i guess your talking about from a chicken farm not an 18 wheeler lol poor bob with friends like you lol i love the videos and your conniving ways glad im in south Texas lol
quietmale00101 Ya I guess I'm just plain evil lol. Well it's warming up here. Might even get rain next. Crazy weather. I think I got Bob worried now lol.
What a beast!!! I see you've got a Kioti Killer sticker on the front. Maybe you should put a Deere Hunter sticker somewhere on her as well? :D The Kubota handles that wet, heavy snow without even spinning a wheel. Are you running loaded tires? I'm going to have to consider a Kubota when I eventually have to replace the old '52 Allis-Chalmers that I'm using now.
Truck Shackley Thanks. The Koti Killer was put there to pick on my buddies who have that brand lol. No Deere's around here. They all ran away so it's true" Nothing runs like a Deere" lol. Oh man you got to keep the '52. They don't make them like that anymore my friend. I'm running 840lbs of wheel weights on the rears. It does well with them on. Thanks for watching.
As my dad used to say,"Nothing runs like a Deere...or smells like a John."lol Yeah, the old '52 Allis has cleared my driveway every winter for close to thirty years now. So unless she throws a rod out through the block and suffers a nuclear meltdown it has a home here. I gotta get a descent camera and post some video of it doing it's thing some time.
Milton Fludgecow Not sure how long the life span is of it but a flight can last up to 24 minutes. That little battery cost $179. I guess you can tell I'm not at this CZcams stuff for the money lol.
Paul- Your skill set is second to none... Watching you evaluate, design and fabricate has inspired me to improve my own humble skills, and I want to personally thank you and Kathy for taking the time to inspire and educate us on so many levels. God bless you both...
Thank you Scott. There's no better compliment than someone saying I've inspired them. When I hear that I realize why we still do videos. New video coming up shortly. Thanks for your support. 👍
Wow !,,, that Kubota worked well and looked like fun at the same time. Thanks for sharing.
Wow look at that smile!! Kathy, you made his week, Flu and all!!
Happy birthday Paul! Enjoy your new toy!
I thought at one point you broke a shear pin when you were going into a snow pile. Evil wet snow. Good equipment makes everyday chores tolerable, even fun. Now go get some rest or you will never get rid of that cold.
Craig Baillar
Man I'm never getting rid of this flue. I've had that blower on two tractors since 2008 and I've only broken one shear pin. I was blowing out a compound and the officer said there was nothing under the snow. Well he forgot about the concrete block that got sucked into the impeller. I won't tell you what I said at the tie because I'm sure your to young to hear it but I put a new pin in and got paid for doing it lol. It's a great quality blower. Built like a battle ship.
Take care.
Happy Birthday Paul!
Boy Kathy, you sure do know how to make your man happy. I mean at the beginning of that video Paul is dragging through his work, hardly any smiles and then PRESTO CHANGO. Once you guys got back from his birthday outing, he's all as happy as can be!! Way to go!
Looking forward to those Drone videos.
Thomas
KubotaTee
Thomas I think I was happy just to get out of the shop for the afternoon lol. Not to worry. Kathy's heart is always in the right place. She's really a saint.
Been moding the drone and reading up on it. To cold to fly it though :(
Take care my friend.
Love the Kubota, and all the lights on it!
Good one Paul. I've had my Quadcopter for over a year now myself. Carbon fiber blades and practice, practice, practice a must. Took mine up in the clouds I couldn't see it. Had to hit the Return To Home button.....thought I lost it. Lol. Safe flying!!!
George A. Woods I've got a lot of experience with RC planes but this is the first quad. With GPS and compass it should be fairly easy. Did the firmware updates last night, red all the manuals, looked at a lot of video's. I'm familiar with the unit now but there's to much snow down to really want to try it. This is the new V3.0 model so It should fly nice. Not a nice feeling when you think you lost a craft. Glad it worked out well for you.
Those farm trucks take quite a beating but it looks like this one will be back to work in short order. Good job. And Happy Birthday too. It should be quite interesting to see what you get up to with that new toy. After Kathy has her lessons on the BX, point her to where the new fish-pond will be and tell her to have at it.
brians48now
So true on the farm trucks and just about everything else on a farm. That's my plan with Kathy on the BX. She can do the digging and I'll do the flying ;) Some how I don't see that happening though :(
Coming out of the door was kick ass!!
+Jake Schisler
As far as I'm concerned that is our best video thanks to Kathy.
She did a GREAT JOB!
LED's flashing, another fun romp on the Big K! Looking forward to the arial shots of Big K....
Happy birthday Paul, I didn't sit to close to my monitor for I do not want that cold. Your making a silk purse out of the GMC, enjoyed seeing the repairs.
liveinmyamerica
Thanks buddy. It's a bad flue. I'm still suffering from it but i think I'll live. The old truck is working out well. I should have the rest of the parts today and it's back to it's hard life on the farm. Keep well.
hi Paul
I have to say as we say over here in IRELAND "that snow plough and snow blower is a mighty machine"
Pat Fleming
Thanks Pat. It's a good machine and it gets the work done with ease. Keep well over there.
Happy Birthday Bud , good to see orange and white again , wish it would snow here ! can't wait to put the Boss v-plow to the test for real , feel better !

I'd like to see that set up working as well. It's not a snowy year for us either. Last year was brutal though.
Well, well, well, "Happy Birthday" sir Paul ...... how old? ......29 and holding? dang, you hold it well. lol. I got soooo excited when you announced that Kathy will be running the BX in the spring, I'm going to need a front row seat for that ..... somewhere either 1/2 mile away or 200 feet in the air ........ but ahhhhh you have that new drone so looks like I will be able to have my front row seat and still stay in the safety zone eh?
Happy Birthday my friend!!
*****
I did the calculations last night and I figure I'm one year older than dirt it's self lol. Yup Kathy using the BX will make for some interesting footage. The drone will protect us all lol.
Thank you sir ;)
awesome tractor, the way you clean your driveway,, what you really need is a rotating broom brush then you'll be cleaning it like summer time...you do see to like close to perfection in the way you clean even the little left over.
great vid Paul and Kathy
great video looked like heavy snow we had more snow hear in plate cove west but it was nice and lite for plowing , and a big happy birthday and I knew your birthday gift be four you showed it take care and stay safe,
elias furlong Thanks buddy. The wet stuff isn't fun unless you have a big machine. That's why I hang on to the 5740. The BX would be brutal in this stuff.
Thanks for the birthday wish ;)
Keep well over there.
Happy Birthday Paul! And kudos to you Kathy for taking him out and getting him a gift. I'm glad you're getting some better Paul. Thanks for the video. Kathy must think we're a bunch of dim-wits for not just wanting to see someone pushing snow with a tractor but liking it too. :-) To try and justify it I have to say I learn something every time. Even if it's something I'll never use. I get it stored in my feeble mine so I can have more to forget as I get even older. There is a method to my madness. Anyway, hope you enjoyed your birthday and Kathy as well. Take care and God Bless. Levi~~
mi2tn
Thanks buddy. Hey I'm like you. I like to learn things that I may never need to know but one can never tell when you might be able to use that info. I call it useless information but I still like to take it in for some reason. I watch tractor vids as well so we're all in the same boat my friend.
Look after yourself.
Can't wait to see drone footage, and the pieces of metal you have on the bike lift are skid shoes/rock guards that go on the bottom of the cutterbar of a disc mower which is used to cut hay
CarolinaFarmer Yup. That's what those parts are. I didn't know and I seldom question what stuff is for. I get so much weird stuff here I never ask what it's for or does.
Don't blame you for not asking, just fix it and on to the next one, almost forgot hope you had a good birthday
Happy birth day and get well soon Paul.
YARDWORKS Landscaping
Thanks. Really appreciate it.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAUL! I see you have a great afternoon. Can't wait for some drone videos.
Liked the snow plowing video and the extra bonus footage. That GMC has seen a rough life.
I would harass you but since you are feeling ill. I'll save it for later. LOL!
Get well soon!
Rick Anderson
Thanks rick. This is one aweful flue. I can't shake it. don't know where I picked it up either. Ya the old truck is rough but it's will survive. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Cheers.
Happy birthday Paul! As always you and Kathy do a great video.
bradley fitkin
Thank you very much Bradley. We really appreciate you taking the time to watch our video's ;)
Paul Short You're welcome.
Happy Birthday Paul!
you better be across the road watching her operate the bx. lol and those parts are from a disc mower to mow hay with.
Nicholas Hubbard
Oh yes. For sure lol. Yup that's what the parts are.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAUL FEEL BETTER...GREAT JOB FILMING KATHY A NEW TOY FOR YOU
TO OPERATE THE DRONE AND BX...GOD BLESS YOU BOTH.

Happy Birthday Paul, Be careful with that drone, Hope you heal up very soon!!!!!
cat637d
Thanks man. I just can't shake this friggen flue. It's a full week of it today :(
Hi paul, happy birthday some cool camera angles on this one with you ploughing from outside your drive way, thumbs up to kathy for a very cool video. I am looking forward to see kathy on the bx. I got the DJI phantom fc40 quadcoptor drone for my birthday last year. You well have alot of fun with it but when it falls out of the sky you well have kittens.
AJ Close
Thanks AJ. I thought she did a great job with the video shooting as well. It's cold out there holding that camera but she never complains. Congrats on your quad. They look like a nice tool to add to our video making. I'm coming from an RC back ground so I do know things can happen ;)
If it just falls out of the sky I promise you'll hear me from where you are and the language won't be very nice lol
Love the bantering. Oh ya, Happy birthday and get well soon!
Thank you sooooo much 👍
Great Video Paul and a very Happy Birthday that drone will make for some really cool videos! Happy Birthday and stay safe.

Thanks. Kathy figures buying it for me will keep me quiet for awhile (not) lol.
Keep well.
This was so enjoyable to watch!! I am in love with that tractor!

frank roden
Thanks buddy. The old truck will work out ok. I get lucky with this stuff at times. I just can't shake this flue.
Hope all is well on your end.
Great video guys, great gift Paul, Kathy you done a great job..... Have belated Birthday Paul...LOL Thank for sharing....
+Cary Hubbard
Thanks for the birthday wish lol.
Happy birthday Paul, all the way from Ramsgate, kent in England.......... Awesome prezzie from Kathy & can't wait for the videos. Take care Micky
Great to see big orange at work with the snow. Cool bonus video. Thanks!
Hope you get better soon.
USNERDOC
Thanks for watching. I'm at the 75% mark in feeling good ;)
Now all you need is a broom for the front of the GL to sweep the small stuff off.
Hope all is well your way.
Thanks
Shakes 73 So true. I hear they work well. No one around here uses them at snow though. Hope your not working to hard.
great vidoes you got! moving snow does get old, i live in the U.P. amount of snow we get varies. sometimes i wonder why we live so far north lol gotta be the summers!!
Happy Birthday Paul. I hope you enjoy your birthday gift from Kathy. I wish you well.
Dwight Mc Lean
Thank you Dwight. Much appreciated.
A Phantom 2, very cool, Happy Birthday and hope your feeling better.
*****
Thanks man. Still feeling like crap lol.
Kathy did a very nice job filming this one. And you did a very nice job plowing that. It didn't look that wet on camera. I kinda figured that the drone was coming since there had been a few videos you liked on it. Good luck with the drone. Maybe drone is definitely on my want list for myself to get but its way at the bottom. They are trying to make them illegal here so I'm not spending almost a thousand dollars on something I won't be able to fly. Hope you had a great birthday!
Tyler Donovan Thanks Tyler. Ya Kathy did do a nice job on this video. I thought the same myself. She's really after catching on to the CZcams thing. This drone was over $1600. plus tax and I seen them in the store for over $4000. I think me and the world is gone mad lol. Keep well buddy.
That moving the snow makes me miss really missing that
+Jake Schisler
Don't worry Jake. It gets old really quick lol.
This looks like something a municipality would have
Happy Birthday Paul, nice gift. And once again Kathy you did a very nice job videoing. Take care
rchopp
Thank you. We appreciate it.
Beast Mode Activated , haha love watching the Kubota in action
Another job well done, look forward to watching your channel reaching new highs. :)
Steve Rob Ha! Ha!. New heights. Good one ;)
get well Paul...cheers
Jim Steketee
Thanks Jim
Happy Birthday Paul!, That is another thing we have in common (well almost), mine is January 12th. Ever notice how all the really gifted craftsmen are born in January? ;-)
5782d
Yes come to think of it I've noticed that as well with the January babies and their talents and have always been a bit bitter about the fact It didn't hold true in my case ;)
Thanks for the birthday wish my friend.
Great Video Paul. Happy Birthday. Looking forward to the drone footage...
Chris Conway
Thanks Chris. Much appreciated.
I have an M5 and clear 3/4 mile of driveway with a rake not destroying all the gravel.
Hi Paul... just got to see this... good laugh re my drone :). Might have to paint mine a different color :)
Bob Kelland Ha! Ha!. See how I drag you into the subject lol.
How How, this DJI we like!
...and happy birthday from Norway too.
Brede Lesjø
Thank you Brede ;)
That's an awfully big machine to have to keep all year just to plow snow a few times per winter.
Well that’s depends on your definition of “big”. To me it’s not big.
I got to say Kathy, your a trooper for standing outside while Paul was plowing snow !! And also I was gonna suggest Kathy plow and Paul video tape before we saw the drone. Happy Birthday Paul !!! Ive got to ask a question, when your blowing snow doing the front part of the driveway does your neighbor mind you blowing snow onto his property ???? Take care and God Bless and hope you get over the flu bug !!
hello6488
Kathy is the greatest.I'm glad she's doing the video's with me now. We have fun doing them. Na. the neighbor is great. Where you see the snow going is never used by her. Actually I mow it for her in the summer so she don't have to do it.
Paul is always driven... and Kathy freezes outside with camera. I will See that Kathy drive Pauls machine :) Powerfull Maschin searching for Schlüter Traktoren .. you can Watch there Germany traktors. Merry Christmas for all.
Happy BD my friend, and your lovely bride on the BX,, Hmmmm sounds like a fun time,, Enjoy the new toy,,,errrr tool I meant tool, ,,I mean now you can tell if the roof needs shoveled or the gutters need cleaned and you know stuff,,
Skeets K
Thanks buddy. It will be interesting for me to see how she does. She's pretty smart and I think she's going to enjoy the experance.
Keep well my friend.
I'm only here for the bonus footage!
hey Paul and Kathy, as your friend Bob might say " with friends like you who needs enemies " 😀😀 guess you've another birthday coming up soon if they're anything like mine they seem to be about 12 months apart 👍
Good gawd. How in the heck would anyone remember "MY" birthday lol
Happy Birthday Paul.

perry smith II Thanks Perry. This one is the updated V3.0 version. I thought it might be good for our channel and give the viewers a different angle to see things at. Hope all is well on your end.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY FRIEND hope you had a great day !!! ps love the video too.
Greg White
Thanks Greg. Much appreciated!
Poor truck it doesn't know it is one day from dying. Maybe it needs warmer weather. LOL
Oh it’s long passed. It was a farm truck and totally abused.
Why is it that I get a BX25 and all it snows is an inch each storm? sort of just teasing me and the BX! Never thought at 65 I'd be looking for snow! ... but it's on mid way through winter .... Busy in the Computer Lab ... I'll check out this video a bit later! [ How come you guys were not mentioned for an Oscar in documentaries? informative ..witty ... fun...]
Bill Amore
65! My friend you got another 35 years to wait for snow. You young fellers got no patients lol I know it's disapointing to not get any seat time but it will come. With a BX it's either snow or dirt so It's going to happen. Oh we were invited to the Oscars but Kathy is a very fussy lady and they couldn't provide the ride shade of red carpet and refused to attend. Hell I wanted to go just for the gift bag lol.
Have a great weekend my friend.
Happy Birthday Paul!!

Thanks Scott.
Watching your vids make me feel calm for some reason! Haha! :) keep up the good work and make some summervideos using your frontloader please!! :)) greetings from Norway, where we eat this kind of snowfall for breakfast! 😎)
+Ole Anders Dahl
Hello Norway. Will do my best to do a few tractor summer videos. Thanks for watching.
Happy birthday Paul now what happens if you crash the drone into Kathy while she's operating the bx and it causes her to crash. I'd have to say operator error haha enjoy your birthday and many more happy and healthy ones
allied1394
I'll just have to say Kathy ran into the drone lol.
Happy b-lated birthday! Holy Crap, Congrats on the new toy!
Boy all that water would drive me nuts, I think you will have to add a floor drain in your shop. So what temp is your shop set at?
drom industry
Thanks. There's a drain right by the ramp but when there's snow coming off the machines constantly there's not much we can do about it until it melts. As for the shop temp. that depends on how hard I'm working. I can have it set at 60 or as far up as 90 if need be.
Thats good to here, have fun with one of the best drones out there
There ain't nothing like power down back dragging !!!
Happy Birthday! So sorry you are sick and having to work. The metal items look to be off a rotary hay mower. Not sure of the brand but I myself have worked on more than a few. Would like your opinion of what kind of metal they are made of? They seem to be a very hard steel and weld like crap. Or at least I do on that steel!
J Harrison
Thanks. It's been a rough flue. Even my doctor buddy was laid up with it for a week. Yes the parts are off a rotary mower. I don't know the brand name of them but they are only common 1/8th plate and are not hardened. These weld up really nice. I guess it all depends on the brand of the unit.
The reason for welding would be a quick fix until a new one can be ordered. I maybe have contaminated steel from miles contact with the earth. It really seems like a opposite forces are pushing back on the puddle and cause lots of spitting and popping. Is this how magnetized steel acts?
J Harrison I've never ran into it. Do the welding machine perform well at other tasks?
Greetings Kathy and Paul, Please forgive me if you answered my question in a previous video but I was just wondering if Kathy ever wanted to learn how to operate the 5740? Furthermore, have you ever changed the cutting edge on the plow or is it the original cutting edge from 20 years ago? And if its not the original, how long does a cutting edge last, for you, on the plow? Also, have you had the blower on the 5740 clog up from really wet or slushy snow? I watched a video and the person cut up a rubber mud flap from a truck and screwed/bolted it to the impeller fins to close the clearance between the edge of the fin and the housing, and the blower went through slush and wet snow and threw it a good 10 feet like it was dry fluffy snow and that impressed me. It was a two stage walk behind blower but I assume it can be done to 3 point hitch unit as well. Additionally, what is the small black rectangle at the bottom left of the small overhead door on the shop? Also, what brand tire inflator with the built-in air gauge were you using on the GMC's tire? The cheap one I have is 35 psi off and I would like a quality one that tells me the correct reading. I got what I paid for unfortunately. :) I apologize for influx of questions, I really enjoy watching your videos and happy belated birthday. :)
- Jon in Pennsylvania, US
Jon Rushing
Hi Jon. No.Kathy really never shown any interest in the 5740. She says it looks to complicated and says I do ok with it. I'd rather she get interested in doing shop work lol. I've owned the Arctic Poly blade since new in 1994. Its been used commercially all that time. The cutting edge is reversible and if you do it right and watch how it wears you can flip it over for a few years and use it again then go another few years and do the flip all over again. I got 15 years out of the first cutting edge before I replaced it. It's just a matter of knowing your equipment and keeping an eye on it.
No. Clogging hasn't been an issue for mine. It's a 60 hp unit and can move a massive amount of slush and snow. I've seen home made impeller kits like you have described though and they do work.
The rectangular black item in that door is a handle that was intend to open the door. It was never used because our doors are remotely operated and they don't even need to be touched.
If you asking about the compressor in the shop it's made by Techquip. If your just asking about the gauge /air chuck its a Milton unit.You'll find that Milton builds about the most reliable pneumatic tools in the world in my opinion.
Thanks for watching our video's. We really appreciate it. Great to hear your enjoying them.
Paul Short I looked into Milton and their products on Amazon and found nothing but positive reviews on all their products. I will definitely purchase from them and give them a try. Quality truly comes before cost and I learned that the hard way haha. Thank you for recommending them. Have fun "playing" with your new drone.
Happy Birthday Paul, From Roskilde in Denmark :-D
Claus Fjeldberg
Thank you very much Claus. Very much appreciated. Great hearing from Denmark. Very cool!
Im thinking of getting a new Kubota but want a 74" snow blower but I want enough power to run it what HP 70 I was thinking ? what are your thoughts ?? thanks
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAUL

wow I never even saw this one!
Hi Paul and Kathy, We purchased a Kubota 2301 last Spring and have used it for mowing, hauling, landscaping and more. As Winter approaches I have a question for you. Our driveway is over 300', 12' wide drops from our house to the road 30'. We have a 52" bucket and I'm wondering if we can plow snow with that or should invest in a plow blade. We have a Honda track driven 30" snowblower but with warmer winters can only use for 50% of storms. It's not so much the investment but hate to buy something to sit in the yard thats not needed. Look forward to you input, Thanks!
Plowing with a bucket is not my idea of a fun time. It takes to long using the bucket. Buckets are only good for moving snow not plowing it. Get a good blade like I have in the video. Where it has the poly skin on the front and snow won’t stick to it and you’ll be able to angle it making a very fast efficient job of moving your snow. Yes it’s an added cost but because of the efficiency of the blade you’ll do your driveway in 1/3rd of the time meaning less seat time, less fuel, less wear and tear on your machine and more time for you to do what you want.
Well you asked and I answered 😂
@@7863348 First off, thank you for such a fast response.
You kinda told me what I knew, The right tool for the job. I'm gonna listen to your advise and head up to the dealer this week. Thanks again
Your kindly welcome. If you ever need cool accessories for that awesome tractor check out our web site. Keep well
www.specialtyrepairscustommods.com/b-2601-accessories
Nice Job on the video. Have a quick question for you if you can. I have a John Dare 1023E, front bucket movement control level moves in all directions side to side up and down but the bucket and cylinders will not move. Sorry to say my tractor is outside covered up but I think it is frozen with the weather we have here in Michigan, at night around zero days in the low double digits right now. Tractor starts fine let it warm up for an hour still no movement in bucket. Tractor will drive forward fine and a little slower in reverse. What do you think I should try and do to get movement for bucket cylinders? Oh ya for the backhoe no movement of any of the cylinders. Not sure if I can get a way to heat any of it up or not out side. Can’t move it because the way the bucket is angled into the ground. Thanks, love your channel and the things you work on. Take care, be safe, later. Oh ya Happy Birthday there bud. Love your birthday gift, just getting into the drones myself have a smaller one just beginning I love it.
RDViper2013
Wow. You got a weird one there. Ok. First question. when you move the lever with the tractor running do you hear any whining or hear any change in sound?
The next step if it was mine would be to remove any quick change couplers and plug them back in again then try your controls to see if that made a difference.
Personally I can't see anything being frozen. Those systems are designed to operate in most any condition. A work shop manual would be your best friend at this point. The fact that there's nothing operating on the back hoe has me concerned.
I put a link over on Tractor By Net in the Deere section for you. Head over there and if your not a member sign up, Its free and post the question there. someone may have ran into the same issue and might be able to tell you first hand the problem.
Let me know what happens please.
Thanks for your kind words.

Happy birtday Paul, nice video this 1, katy´s recording its better than "gopro´s" :-) , omg, i was thinking the last days about how would you do, the videos with a toy of these. Always improving. Now the question is, what job you will do? drone or tractor? :-)
Gabelly66
Thanks buddy. Kathy always tell me I'm always pushing the envelope looking for new ideas. I've been like it all my life. If I commit to something I see it through and this CZcams thing is that way right now. I thought the drone would add a little more spunk to the video's and I think folks will like them. Time will tell on who runs what. the drone can be set on weigh points and once set don't require an operator. It will take off on it's own and do what I programmed into it. After the mission is over It will land it's self and shut it's self down.
I LIKE'd your sons guitar FB page. He's made some beautiful guitars.
I am beginning to see a pattern here you clear, it snows, you clear, it snows.....I wish I could say that if you don't clear it won't snow, but I know better.!! Ha Feeling back to 100% yet? Love watching others remove snow though, I could watch it all day long.......Oh and sorry Bud, but it looks like more snow is coming...not that you needed my help to know that!! Great video as usual.
larryz24 We get snow pretty well all the time. It might even rain this weekend. When your in it you deal with it. We are fortunate to have the equipment to deal with it. Most don't and that's nasty stuff. Flue is around 80% better but it's still hanging on. A lot of people are laid up because of it. So far no lost work hours. If I get sick I don't get paid ;(Thanks for watching my friend.
I laughed at the comment about me being too young. Im 44 years young! You cant be far ahead of me either. :)
Craig Baillar
I'm that far ahead of you I don't even see you in the dust behind me lol. Na. Not really. After 40 who counts? ;)
You guys are the best! Why did you stop making videos? Paul / Ontario
Thank you. We’re still making them. There’s over 650 of them now.
ghe Paul whot happened to the truck door hinges wind damage.? also you seem to have enough plant to clear the roads for a living, mabye you do. stay warm and may spring come earley to you and the misses.
brian king
I guess you could call it abuse.The part that keep the door from opening to far failed and no one repaired it and that caused a strain on the hinges and the body metal which ended up failing. I used to plow a lot of snow but don't anymore. I keep the tractor for our property.
Keep well my friend.
Paul Short a right, good looking truck, same in Europe the engine last for ever the body falls apart, im of for a walk we had s strong jetstream over scotland this winter and im still finding trees blown down alover the place its the worst iv ever seen, p.s. Paul type, catching a salmon on the ness, and youl find my vids my u.tube name is Megaking, click on that and youl see where i stay in scotland. by Paul.
IT IS A TWO STAGE IT WILL THROW HEAVY WET SNOW IF YOU GO SLOW WITH IT.
Not necessarily so. Even going slow will plug them.
If I ever have the money, I'd love to use a tractor similar to that one for plowing snow instead. Sucky part about using a pickup is that you can't put any downward pressure on the plow itself to scrape anything up or drag backwards effectively (plow just rides up on the snow.)
How would you say it performs in these two situations?
Check out Ebling back blades... I just got one. Everyone who has one says they are amazing
cool progect paul ! love the slowing footage as well. I've been having some issues with my go pro , when i go to import videos it does all the importing stuff, then it says that iPhoto can't download the videos because there was an error with the videos , Thanks , Good video , hope you get better soon , Any ideas with my go pro ?
Hey Paul. Do you ever find the tractor lacking traction on the front wheels?
I'm gonna be using my m135 kubota for snow work for the first time this coming season and I'm wondering if I'll need front ballast.
Thanks!
I haven't butntheres tricks to keep the traction on the front wheels and I mention it many times in my snow clearing video's
I just saw the first of your videos, very entertaining. I used to plow my driveway and a couple of neighbours with a 1994 2.4 liter Toyota 4x4 (5 spd standard). It was amazing how much that little truck could push with a 7' blade. If I could buy a new pre-2005 4 cyl Toyota 4x4 (standard) I would do it in a heartbeat. Great little rigs with a solid drivetrain.
Anyhow...the reason I started this comment was to tell you your web site (www.specialtyrepairs.ca) isn't working. I tried with a couple of different browsers and get the same error message;
"No Start Page

Sorry for the long winded message !!

-joe-
I agree Joe they were a nice truck. They did rust pretty fast but other than that they were a nice machine. I announced in our latest video that we are now gone from Facebook, Twitter and we shut our web site down. Thanks for the heads up though.
OK, sorry, I didn't know. I got new video notice almost an hour ago and watched it right away !! It was the one where you made, installed and painted a spill-over top extension for a new BX25 bucked. You do very nice work !! Good tips too. It's evident how much the two of you enjoy each other, it's heart warming to see ! I've watched a nice few of your videos so far and am really interested in the Kubota tractors. If anything they should be paying you commission !! You're an ambassador for them..!! I was the same way for Toyota till I bought the (then new) 2005 larger mid-sized Tacoma. I drove those little 4x4 Toyota trucks since '79, that new one was a total disappointment. I wish they'd allow the Hilux in. :(
Anyhow...I have a Kubota diesel in my boat and never had a second's trouble with it. I was surprised to learn (from you!) how inexpensive those little tractors are. I have a long driveway and clear all around my garage which was a pleasure with the old truck and plow. Takes me three hours with a snowblower and half of it with the wind in my face. I don't have enough room to store a tractor inside my garage so maybe I'll pick your brain on those zippered shelters you use...and, for a lead on a good used BX !!
I know, I talk too much !!!
Thanks, and Merry Christmas to you both...
'nite,
-joe- ;-)
there you go trying to make me cold again showing all that white stuff and even worse the wet white stuff lol chicken truck i don't see a million lights on that thing oh i guess your talking about from a chicken farm not an 18 wheeler lol poor bob with friends like you lol i love the videos and your conniving ways glad im in south Texas lol
quietmale00101 Ya I guess I'm just plain evil lol. Well it's warming up here. Might even get rain next. Crazy weather. I think I got Bob worried now lol.
lol
Oh WOW!! looks like ya'll got dumped on pretty good this time around.
*****
Yes we have that happen from time to time.
Careful with your neighbors windows!
What a beast!!! I see you've got a Kioti Killer sticker on the front. Maybe you should put a Deere Hunter sticker somewhere on her as well? :D
The Kubota handles that wet, heavy snow without even spinning a wheel. Are you running loaded tires?
I'm going to have to consider a Kubota when I eventually have to replace the old '52 Allis-Chalmers that I'm using now.
Truck Shackley
Thanks. The Koti Killer was put there to pick on my buddies who have that brand lol. No Deere's around here. They all ran away so it's true" Nothing runs like a Deere" lol. Oh man you got to keep the '52. They don't make them like that anymore my friend.
I'm running 840lbs of wheel weights on the rears. It does well with them on.
Thanks for watching.
As my dad used to say,"Nothing runs like a Deere...or smells like a John."lol
Yeah, the old '52 Allis has cleared my driveway every winter for close to thirty years now. So unless she throws a rod out through the block and suffers a nuclear meltdown it has a home here. I gotta get a descent camera and post some video of it doing it's thing some time.
Truck Shackley
You just got to respect a machine like that. I'd love to see a video of it. Keep well.
Nice tractor! But why dony you just buy a walk behind snow blower for that short bit of road...???
Big tractor in a subdivision? Are you compensating for something Paul?
I’d hardly consider a 60hp tractor big. Anything over 100hp I would 🤨
Paul what kind of battery life is suspected out of the drone?
Milton Fludgecow
Not sure how long the life span is of it but a flight can last up to 24 minutes. That little battery cost $179. I guess you can tell I'm not at this CZcams stuff for the money lol.
