Newbie here ... thank you! I got my half hour walk-through from the dealership when it was delivered, and I have a wonderful farmer neighbor who hooked up my hay bale spear for me, but didn't explain anything and didn't let me get off the tractor while he did it. Cheers and thanks for the vid!
You’re welcome! Glad to help and good luck!! Thanks for watching.
Terry
I'm a greenhorn newbie for sure. Watching this on my lunch break. Very helpful. Thanks for taking the time to post it. Fingers crossed and hopefully not pinched. Lol
You’re welcome. Definitely watch those fingers. Getting in a hurry is you’re worst enemy. Thanks for watching!!
Terry
Thanks for this video! I've been struggling to hook up my box blade for years and never got a good explanation until now. This simple procedure explains it all. Thanks again... I subscribed!
Awesome! Your welcome. Thanks for the sub!!
Terry
Same here! I wish someone had shown me this years ago. I usually keep my backhoe on most of the time but a couple times a year I need to put the 3 pt hitch on and I dread fighting with putting implements on.
@@krispy1k Glad to help!!

I am a newbie and will be buying a box blade this wknd. We do have an 8N with a PTO, so this really helped. Now to see if we can do what you did. Wish us luck on Aug 28, 2022
Good luck!!! 🍀 Those older tractors are awesome. I have wanted an old 8n most of my life. Absolutely love them. I hope to buy one in the near future. Be careful though. They really did not think in terms of safety back in those days like they do now. Its easy to get comfortable around a machine that can eat you alive.
Terry
great how to video! there are plenty of folks who will benefit from this video. keep them videos coming really enjoying them!
Thanks Dave!
Great Video. I also watched many video's from Everything Attachments and that is why I purchased from them. Their videos have taught me a lot about using my B2301 and I want to support their business. Thanks again, I am going to watch the video about how to use the box blade that you have up next!
Great. You can learn a few things about what to do and probably some not to do lol. We are rookies but we learn fast and we are loving that tractor. If you are on Facebook check out our group for Kubota B2650 Enthusiasts. Anybody is welcome to join. We just called it B2650 because there are so many out there but your tractor is close so I am sure you could gain from it. Terry facebook.com/groups/1779300572090436/?ref=bookmarks
Been attaching a box blade to either a Kubota B 7200 or L 2501 since 1980. Did it today, in fact. You guys got it just right. Do not pay attention to any comments about taking too long to explain this procedure. I did exactly what you did today. But, remember, I had 40 years worth of experience. And, it took you 10 minutes. Took me a bit longer than that. Quick hitch is relatively flimsy for real box blade work, in my experience. Not really worth the expense. Strong video, you guys. Next time attaching the box blade will be quicker. Or not. Thanks. Stay safe.
RHenry, M.D.
Thanks for the compliments and words of encouragement!! Yeah you need thick skin to run a CZcams channel, lol. We don't let to much get to us. Everyone has an opinion and they don't always agree. We are fine with that.
Terry
Thanks makes sense to me
You're welcome!

Great video really helped me yesterday. Originally, I had bought a quick hitch. Problem: not all implements are manufactured to the standard that will fit the quick hitch and sometimes I had to raise or lower the top pin attachment which was a pain in the... and sometimes the top pin attachment hook didn't fit between the back of the implement's pin and the implement... (There are lots of videos with hints about making that work...) So, quick hitch came off, and I was left relying on your video to figure out how to hook up my box blade which I was using personally for the first time. It is quite hard to align those bottom arms. It was very helpful to learn that I could raise and lower the arms manually. It's still a lot of times on and off the tractor for one person and a few repetitions of inching 1/8 inch forward and left or right. But I got it and now my driveway won't cause the UPS truck to lose too many parts. On another note, my buddy recommended these and I saw them on his tractor and I just ordered them: smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00U00AUNW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Should be an excellent compromise between the original full quick hitch and doing it manually and should save me significant time. The only thing with this part is one needs to use bushings to take the implement pin from a cat 1 to a cat 3 which I have already done with my other implements for the original quick hitch... Another useful thing that Tractor Mike shows is the adjustable extensions for the bottom arms so they can slide longer and shorter when hooking up. Have a good day and thanks again. You really did save me yesterday because I was sooo frustrated! I subscribed.
Thanks for all the kind words! Will check that stuff out.
Terry
This is great!
Thanks! Glad to help.
Terry
Good video men! Envious!
Y’all having tons of fun.
Thanks! It is fun. We see it as playing not work, lol.
Terry
Very helpful, specifically the part about the top hitch, which I did not know how to lengthen. Thanks!
You are welcome! Always glad to help.
Terry
Thank you for a very helpful video. Thanks. I just got a used Kubota L2800 but I don't know a thing about it, especially how to hook up stuff. Good tip about the pins from Tractor Supply. Much appreciated. Thank you fellows.
Awesome! Always glad to hear someone could gain from our work! Glad it worked out for you. We are still learning but it gets better every time we use that tractor.
Terry
Very helpful. Thanks.
No problem. Glad to be of service.
Terry
Awesome! Thank you for making the video
Thanks and your welcome!
Terry
As long as you only have the one implement you're good to go. If you are going to get other 3 point implements I'd strongly suggest a quick attach.
Yeah I agree. However we plan to stay debt free so for now its gonna have to wait. Its in the plans though!! Terry
Well fellas, it's looking promising. Now let's see this super duper, humper dumper box blade earn it's keep. Great video on how to attach a tractor implement. Your approach may not be how experts do it but I would hazard to guess you' re not very far off( if at all). It seems logical to do it the way you suggested somehow. Now all you need is a chainsaw attachment to harvest your furniture wood!!! Very well documented. Kind regards.
Thanks!!
Thank you very much gentlemen; until the next clip, keep well & kind regards.
It's been a year so I hope you've figured this out already - it's recommended to use a non-slotted pin location on the telescopic stabilizers for implements like the scraper. The slotted holes get used for implements like plows, discers, sub-soilers... There's way too much lateral sway when you use those slots for the scraper. Page 54 in my B2650 operator's manual, Hydraulic Control Unit Use Reference Chart. Hope this helps. My box scraper uses the tighter setting as referenced - you'll probably find it works better, especially when "back-scraping" with it.
Thanks!! Not sure how we did it but will be keeping an eye on that in the future!! Thanks for the heads up.
Terry
@@ForestToFarm have fun, the B2650 is a great machine.
Great demonstration fellas, I found this very informative. It is helpful for rookies like me to see the "average" person working this equipment versus the rehearsed salesmen. I anticipate that trouble shooting is an implied task when working tractors and attachments. It is nice to see someone else's "wheels turning". I may have missed this on one of your previous videos; but, what are your thoughts on your tractor versus the L2501? I am in the market to purchase a sub-compact or compact tractor. Models of interest are Kubota's B2650, L2501 or Kioti CK series.
thanks
Pete
Thanks Pete! And thanks for your apparent service to our fine country!!
Definitely going to be lots of trouble shooting I am sure.
The Kioti seems like a good tractor but we have no real hands on with them and there are mixed reviews so its hard to say on that one. Dealer and service would be my biggest concerns. How close are they. Some people say they have a hard time finding parts.
The Kubota's are very similar. The B2650 has 1.2 more horse power. It has a greater lift capacity on the rear 3 point hitch and I believe the loader as well. The B2650 also has more PTO HP. It has the front PTO as well which allows for a belly mower. This is the largest Kubota tractor (iirc) that can have a belly mower set up. It has tilt steering which in my opinion is a huge plus because it makes getting on and off the tractor much easier. It also allows you to get more comfortable once seated. The B2650 really excels in my opinion on the fact that the lever control for the front end loader is right at your side along side the fender. Also there are arm rests which gives great back pain relief when driving for extended periods. All these bells and whistles may not sound like much but when your on that tractor for extended periods you will most likely be glad you have them. We are actually working on a video about this so check back soon for the results!
The only advantage I see with the L2501 is its a little heavier and a bit more wheel base giving a bit more stability. The down side to the larger L2501 is we were able to turn the B2650 around in a tight area at the dealer then tried turn the L2501 around in the same tight area and it took a 3 point turn to get it going in the other direction. Also note that the B2650 left almost no tracks while the L2501 was very aggressive and left deep tracks in the grassy area we were driving in.
If you are working in tight spaces the B2650 wins hands down. Also its great for driving in yards.
The L2501 may be your winner if you plan to do more field work. The larger tires and wider stance would be an advantage in those conditions.
In my opinion the B2650 is the way to go.
Terry
You should lift 3 pht arms up higher and lower on angle brackets they will drop into holes and then attach pins ,Ken
Thanks for the advice! We will have to try that.
Terry
Thanks guys - I just got a 60 inch land pride for my bx23s. Do these do well with smaller tractors due to the weight being lower?
Not sure about the Bx but our 2650 has no problem at all pulling it. Just adjust until the amount of soil you are digging is a level that your tractor can handle. Thank you for watching!!
Terry
I don’t have the muscle to move the box blade - the scooting it a little like you did.
I have been working physically hard most of my life. The older I get the less I can do though. Thanks for watching!
Terry
What camera did you use for this video. The quality is really good! Any filming tips you’d like to give for outdoors? Maybe the settings you used for this particular video? I just bought 3 acres and I’m clearing it by hand to build on later. I’d like to pick up some gear to start documenting my adventure as well. Any advice would be appreciated. Love your videos, keep up the good work. Thanks.
Thanks! We've used a variety of cameras, but I think this one was a Sony RX100 V. Here's an older video going over some of the gear we were using about this time. czcams.com/video/x_H-Y21_MCQ/video.html
We pretty much only use B&H Photo for all our gear. We do video & photography for a living and have had great experiences with them for well over a decade.
Best of luck and thanks for watching!
Great video. I own a M7060 Kubota. Nothing is easy on a tractor but it is. Only guys who use tractors will understand that statement.
Thanks!
Its gets a lot easier once you figure out what you are doing, lol!
Terry
I was thinking for 2 hours "it's about time they uploaded... it's about time they uploaded... where's their video..." and here it is
Ha ha. Some times we are so busy that we have to wait till later in the day or even the next day but we are going to try and do Fridays, and hopefully in the morning.
I'm not upset, I'm just glad that you're releasing videos like this and I appreciate your presence on CZcams.
Thanks for following! I am not upset at all. We enjoy doing the videos.
you need a Q15 land pride quick hitch or pat's easy change what is the kubota you have
Some day!
Terry
Two words for ya. "Quick Hitch"
Yeah its on the wish list but for now we have a lot of expense with all we are doing. One day!
Terry
What model tractor did you attach the box blade to?
B2650. Works great!
Terry
reverse up to the attachment and press X, simple and easy... I saved so many of you 10 minutes because of farming simulator
Yeah but half the fun is watching highly skilled rookies making it happen! : )
What are the pin adjustable arms called (that stabilize the sway arms)?
Not 100% sure. Stabilizers sound good to me. 🤪
Terry
@@ForestToFarm what do I type into the search engine to find them
@@Johnny_Benson Sorry I have no clue. Just saw this!!
OK, one last comment, not a stupid one.
In Australia we have councils (county and city merged into council) and they are cracking down on waste heavily, from general waste, recycling and even green waste to the point of giving away compost buckets for the kitchen (1 ft high and a hand can fit inside), and a yearly supply or biodegradable bags (additional bags can be purchased they say)
I'm just wondering, what is the optimum level for composting I live in an apartment so I don't have access to charcoal unless purchased, but I have communal living area where the neighbours like the idea (or don't really care)
And... do I throw in mouldy bread to assist the decomposing process so that it rapidly thrives?
They are offering compost bins for like... far less than the cheapest place around (at production cost) so might as well try it...
"what are you composting for?" you might ask, well... pot plants... anything really and having proper potting mix made at home is far better than $20 a bag.
We compost all of our food, non meat waist. I have a pile of wood chips out back and just put them under the wood chips. Worms colonize the pile and make quick work of the food scraps/waste. All wood chips, grass clippings, leaves and anything organic gets put in compost piles.
Terry
What no quick hitch?
Maybe some time in the future. Lots of money going out on this project. Its on our wish list though!
Terry
Quick hitch ok except not all implements are manufactured to quick hitch sizing standard and when need to adjust quick hitch it is no longer quick; some of my implements (spreader for one) didn't have room behind the pin and the implement to hook up. But these!!! smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00U00AUNW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 My neighbor has these on his tractor and he says the rock! My quick hitch just came off, doing it the manual way for a few days till these arrive (ordered online because supplier is 45 min away and closed Wednesdays when I was going to go get them).
@@janepipkin8139 Thanks for the heads up!
Terry
You need pats quick hands, don't mess with the I match hook up stuff
Looks doable. Thank you for the heads up.
Terry
Oh great, now all I need to get is one of those tools which are always calibrated incorrectly-another person.
Not sue if I understand but OK, lol.
Terry
Don’t put any part of your body(foot) under the scraper while hooking up, as he says 300lbs. Just be careful, accidents happen.
Thanks for the reminder Jay. I agree accidents do happen and they are never planned. All it takes is a split second and then its to late. That box blade drops and you may be out of commission for a long time.
Terry
You should never be behind your tractor with it running while making attachments, especially with someone else near the controls on the tractor. In your position, if the lift arms went up, you would have been crushed.
Yeah those tractors can eat you alive. Gotta practice safety all the time.
Terry
10 minutes of video for 1 minute of information
Yeah this channel is basically for the beginner for the most part. If you want professional expert tips this is probably not the channel for you. You can not explain what we were doing in 1 minute to a rookie with no prior knowledge. It was not just about the box blade hook up but how we came to the conclusion of what we did.And about how the 3 point hitch operates based on our very limiter knowledge.
Thanks for watching.
Terry
@@ForestToFarm I liked it because I am in the same boat of figuring out how to do things for the first time... So, I enjoyed your step by step method with measuring, etc..., and the explanations.
@@janepipkin8139 Thanks!!
