i have a 1974 john deere 112 ride on lawn tractor that i put water mixed with RV antifreeze into the tires. the 112 came with a rare bucket attachment that ive used for snow removal and dirt work! saved me tons of money on dirt work! the traction difference was pretty big in the winter! another good thing is it lowers the center of gravity! awesome stuff bud!
. Rim guard solutions. Adds weight and doesn't rot wheels. Have a kioti 25 hp tractor with 300# of ballast in the back tires. Works great in the snow and sinks like a Chevy in the mud.
It's been 20 plus years since I worked at a farm equipment dealership, but loaded rear tires were the first thing we did when a loader was installed on a tractor. Back in the '70s and earlier tires were loaded with Calcium Chloride. If a tire leaked or got punctured and it wasn't cleaned out properly it would get between the tube and rim and just eat up the rim. We sold one of the first generation Kubota articulated loaders, the R400, it had a big bad 37 HP if I remember right and had a small side-shifting backhoe that could be mounted or dismounted on the rear of it. If the transmission works similar to the old one, it has hydraulic clutch packs like those in an automatic transmission, however it didn't have a torque converter like an automatic. What that pedal did was dump the pressure to the clutch packs. Over the years that pedal has had lots of names for it foot and inch pedal, inching pedal to name a few. I can't wait to hear how much you like to have it on job sites to move pallets off block and gravel without tearing up lawns. I imagine it will ride much better than the skid loaders do.
" can't wait to hear how much you like to have it on job sites to move pallets off block and gravel without tearing up lawns. I imagine it will ride much better than the skid loaders do." so far this little loader has been very smooth.
My whole life here in eastern KY everyone put fluid in their tractor tires, loader or not. We have a lot of steep terrain and you want as much weight as possible on the uphill side and you also want the machine to be as wide as possible with 4wd. Most farmers nowadays are using beet juice, it doesn't freeze or hurt the crop if you have a leak.
Instead of windshield washer fluid many dealers use beet juice for wheel ballast. The trade name is Rim Guard. The selling points are it will not rust the wheels and if you somehow puncture a tire, it will not contaminate the soil or be a possible reportable spill. But it smells awful.
Yup, my 21 hp Kubota has 330 pounds of RimGuard in the rear tires. Bought it without then added the Rimguard after flipping it over. Completely different tractor. I will never have a tractor without it again. Big plus, you do not need to tube the tire like you would with calcium.
Beet juice doesnt freeze to a point but id research the performance for your climate... in tires is weird, but ive seen it sprayed on roads as a salt alternative.
We had 4 of them at a place I used to work. The yanmar diesel engine did not like to start in the cold once they had higher hours on them. Block heaters or coolant heaters are a good idea. The machines were fairly easy to work on and reliable. We used them as forklifts and loaders and they worked very well in this role.
yep. i have an old Bolens tractor.1989, has a 3 cylinder Mitsubishi diesel engine. at 0 degrees forget about it unless it was plugged in. at 20F it fires right up. Branded bolens, but built by iseki.
I operated this machine for a couple years. Pretty nice machine. It's a little under powered for heavy deep snow but otherwise a very nice machine. Also the fuel filter is right next to the back door ventilation holes. It froze up more than once with treated fuel.
Hi Stan! Long day today! Did roughly 25 yards of mulch, hard on the back, but so satisfying to get done! Hope you have a good night! Keep up the great work!
I just put down a pallet full for my place. I could probably use another 20 bags. But it's refreshing to see when it's done! If it were completely flat, I'd get it in bulk but it's hilly and tiered. Do you use any filter fabric?
Nice compact machine. Not many hours . I have a 57 hp kubota tractor with front end loader and other attachments. Starts very reliable at below zero Temps without even pluggingit in 👷♂️
I’ve used beat juice before in tires works great, non corrosive and heavy. This Vid just made me miss my Deere 324k! This morning was rough without it, more snow tonight🙄 thanks for the vid! More Tik Tok vids👍
The advantage of windshield washer fluid in the tries might be that the washer fluid won't rot out the wheels like the calcium chloride fluid does. Usually we filled the tires to the top of the wheel. In the winter there will be a frost line on the outside of tire showing how much fluid is in the tires
Great video. Very informative. I'm in the market for a new R640 to push snow and use in the yard at my business in New Hampshire. I think it'll be a good machine.
Windshield washer fluid is the hack/ DIY way of adding ballast fluid. Beet juice is the way to go, as it has a lower freeze temp AND weighs 50% more per gallon!
I have a case 321f and A 621e loader I like running the smaller loader better there just so nimble moving around plowing snow. Compact loaders are perfect for plowing. Can’t beat it with a 13 foot arctic.
"Compact loaders are perfect for plowing. Can’t beat it with a 13 foot arctic." I think this may be my favorite plowing machine. great visibility, nimble. Loving this thing so far.
Anyone who's used a forklift in the past several decades knows that creeper is good for some things but can be jerky with some equipment. I use a combination of clutch, brake, throttle and neutral depending on the task.
Hey Stan, I kinda feel bad watching you out in what looks like cold weather with it hitting 75 in Connecticut today, love the video as always brother ❤ 👊💪
I didn't read all the comments, but my tractor (compact) has beet juice in the tires. Not sure which is more costly, but either way, it gives me more weight. Thanks for the videos
I’d be interested in seeing a landscape job, something other than snow with one of these mini loaders being used/more cost effective then a skid loader
Stan your like a little kid with a new toy! Wait until you get it onsite for a retaining wall. Moves block faster, gravel easy and loads trucks fast. Plus less damage to lawns. Negatives are balance due to height on uneven terrain and digging were a skidsteer is faster.
"Stan your like a little kid with a new toy!" Your right- but Im also like a selfish kid that doesn't want to let the other kids play with his toy. Im not sure I want my crews using this. I really like this one and its in such good shape- I might keep it for myself and use it just for plowing or up on the farm. I am having a hard time thinking about it getting beat up on a construction site.
Ok I have been changing tires for 39+ years on all kinds of equipment. I have filled tires with a 2 part polyurethane fill or "foam fill". Also calcium chloride or antifreeze 50/50 mix. Always fill to the top of the wheel and not half way or down low. When the liquid is down low like you showed in the video you will get a very bouncy ride in travel speed which will add to wear and tear on the machine. And only add the liquid to the rear tires because adding to all 4 will defeat the purpose of counted balance.
Creeper clutch LOL. It never ceases to amaze me how different industries take so long to catch up. That's no different than an inching pedal on a forklift that's been around probably since the 70s. I see you guys drive around with the middle brake pedal and just the gas pedal with one foot and I just don't get it they don't know how to operate a forklift.
I was thinking the same thing. I ran a forklift in a warehouse, loading and unloading trucks 50hrs a week for 8 months, and you used that pedal all day long. You'd slow down them hold position with your left foot, while simultaneously revving up the engine with your right foot to lift the weight of pallets up to the upper racks quicker.
I think they started adding them to tractors in the late 90s. On loaders though you had the brake for your left foot, accelerator for your right so can be used for inching pedal also in some anyway, not familiar enough to know if that was with all brands or not
Same thing in the old cat articulating loaders. Two brake pedals and a throttle on the floor. One brake kept the transmission connected for driving down hills. The other disconnected the transmission so you could slow down coming up to a truck while keeping the engine rpm up.
i personalty haven't seen an inching pedal on a forklift in a long time now. its all automatic when you lift the mast it demands Revs and also adjusts the transmission so you dont fly off like a rocket as long as the owner gives it the proper TLC its smooth.
It's called running in Duty Cycle. The newer G Cat loaders all have the open throttle operation. Most cranes should be operated at full speed in order to have the pumps running at optimal speed.
@@Dirtmonkey stand fluid film is a stop rust type of lubricant it goes over everything where's Salt May touch the chassis of your truck the brake blinds Etc your plow blades to
In addition to, "It's a rental - treat it like a rental", there's also this: rental customers almost *never* read machine manuals. So while they're not always intentionally beating on the machinery, they very much are operating the machinery via trial and error. (Doesn't sound bad necessarily, but you can operate things improperly and still "make them work".) The only place you'll ever get accurate operational information is via the manual. No matter how good a rep or salesman is, they'll never be able to give you a 15 minute tutorial that includes everything a 200+ page manual contains. And when something happens due to improper operation, rental customer logic is such that reading through a manual first is more time consuming than having someone drive out to where they are and explain things. (Often multiple times.)
Hey good morning Stan I think we’re all dying to see more videos with the I 530 to see how great she is in that snow!!!! Any chance you can have more Vids on her in the pipeline?????
the throttle you got there you can twisted rotate the screw on the outside with a handle is it will go faster extend the length of the cable they won't seize up on you can pull out or down if you want to
@@Dirtmonkey Used to be standard issue, I ran a newer machine awhile back and they replaced it with a thumb wheel on a joystick. I didn't like it,the thing just wasn't as smooth an operation as the old way. The creeper or inching valve are second nature,since it's very similar to the way an automatic transmission works with braking in a car. I'm liking that Kubota loader,looks like it will do most everything a skidsteer will,but with a more comfortable cab.
@@darinareyacrazyman1505 second nature is right. Once you get used to braking with your left foot while also hitting the gas with the right, it's another ball game for sure.
Stan nice buy as I said before and especially in todays market I think you said around 55 grand👍 on another subject I haven’t seen Sam the grease gun man in a video lately
Actually it was $45 G. It was used. I tried buying a new one but they were sold out until 2023 and that was from mid part of last year. Sam has been helping on other projects- but hes still around.
You still want the engine in its operating range (varies my mfg). It smooths things out, from harmonics to controls. Plus it sounds cooler! ROMROM! Lol
I think that those little machines are a smart choice for a business like yours. The only other choice is a Tractor that you could use for landscaping or a backhoe, if you'll never use them in the spring, summer or fall then why buy them.
Hey Stanley been Subscribed to and watching your channel for a bit now. I have a question about your chain binders that allow you to torc your chains with an impact drill... Where did you buy them and are they durable in your opinion??? My left arm is paralyzed and always looking for ways to make things easier for me but still wanna be safe. I am in the same business of snow removal here in Colorado. I have a nice fleet of four 2021 JCB 701 Mini-loaders and twelve Ford F450's w/ SnowDogg VXF95II V-Plows caring SaltDogg 3&4 yard bed sanders. and I transport them every year to and from my property on a 40ft flatbed GNeck. I've looked for those binders once and didn't find anything... So it would be a greatly appreciated for any help on finding some Thanks.
I guess those F450s have 7.3 Powerstrokes in them? Quite the business. Be great if most of your work can be done slow enough to not get salt sprayed every day. Although I guess you hot wash the Fords that have salt boxes at the end of every shift. That's if the wx gives you a chance. Mild temps before the wash is killer. Did you ever find out the name of those binders? JCB makes pretty sturdy machines. You still happy with them?
I do the same thing. No matter what i work on or anything the first thing I do is pressure wash it. I get a evil twitch every time I see guys working on engines etc with crap all over them.
"No matter what i work on or anything the first thing I do is pressure wash it.' yep- I have to wash the other guys grime off before I can really work it.
Beet juice ballast is the best to use, heavier than other stuff, non corrosive, wont freeze, and is perfectly safe for the environment. Oh and its cheap.
@@Dirtmonkey It’s fantastic when you are starting to pull forward after getting a bucket full from a pile. You can hold the throttle wide open and sorta slip and control your approach speed to the dump truck and finesse the bucket perfectly into/over the truck bed. It saves a lot of time when you get it down. I’ve never used smaller loaders like that but in large loaders it’s amazing. Smallest loader I run is a cat 980. I’ve always wanted to try a smaller loader out. I’m def impressed with how well the Kubota cut through that hard snow. She did pretty good!
@@Dirtmonkey some of the clutch disconnect were in the loader handel, if it has a button on it I would be looking for a fuse that might be missing or a relay that is missing and has a jumper wire across it.
It's easy enough to do with a simple set up I feel like it would help out your other wheeled machines for plowing and tire sypes do help I did that my first winter and I can push snow in 2wd @@Dirtmonkey
Kubota is a very tough machine.. we used them in mining and beat the hell out of them. Most have 6000 lbs. fork lift masts, rated for 6k lifts more buts get shady..
So the creeper clutch is a decelerator for the transmission but you don't lose rpm of the engine leaving you full power of the hydraulics , For the lifting of the loader arms .
Stan how was the kubota price wise I was gonna go look at them soon we need another smaller loader for some jobs we got this summer. We have a cat 906M that we love but I was impressed by the kubota watching it in the snow which we do a ton of plowing in winter. I love that all the attachments for our skidsteers will fit on this loader huge plus in my book. Don’t tell the tire shop they’ll hate you haha my cat loaders tires are filled to for ballast it’s common around my way
Stan, I live in upstate NY, travel up to Montreal on occasion to buy equipment, one time I’m at a Kubota dealer talking to salesman, I tell him I’ve got a Kubota R630 myself , I tell him it’s a 9 out of 10 , if it had higher mph it be a 10/10, he tells me his dealership can modify them to get them up to 30 kph which is 18mph. Wondering if your followers have any info on this modification?

It’s like using a propane forklift. And we fill the tires with liquid for tractor pulling. Nice machine Stan
This is my first fluid filled tire I have used- so far so good!
That Arctic pusher really cut through the ice with ease. So satisfying to watch the snow curl in front of it.

@@billvandorn5332 on some there are fabric.
For only 54 hp, that kubota is actually impressive! I believe it will be a great addition to your fleet!
I had a hard time believing it was only 54 hp- it pushes so much snow for such a little machine!
@@Dirtmonkey Looking at the product specs on Kubota's website, it's only 56 HP but it's got 128 foot-pounds of torque. Which is kind of nuts.
Looking good.That machine will do a whole of work in a day. Thanks 😊.
so far its been an excellent addition.
RV Antifreeze works better then washer fluid. Plus some people put just regular washer fluid in not knowing there is a winter blend .
Big deal with the creeper clutch is that it doEs both @ same time. It’s like the L pedal on a forklift. Those ratchet binders w/worm gear are SWEET!
Nice compact machine. Not many hours .

I wasn't worried about the mess as much as getting it before more snow fell and he got it to me as fast as possible

Nice looking machine Stan. I think Kubota owes you a little something if they didn't wash it prior to delivery.
I'm grateful they did it. This machine has excellent traction. And then we grooved the tires ourself and it works even better.

I'm liking that Kubota loader,looks like it will do most everything a skidsteer will,but with a more comfortable cab.
@@darinareyacrazyman1505 second nature is right. Once you get used to braking with your left foot while also hitting the gas with the right, it's another ball game for sure.
Stan nice buy as I said before and especially in todays market I think you said around 55 grand👍 on another subject I haven’t seen Sam the grease gun man in a video lately
Actually it was $45 G. It was used. I tried buying a new one but they were sold out until 2023 and that was from mid part of last year. Sam has been helping on other projects- but hes still around.
@@Dirtmonkey even better for that price I don't need it but for that price would of bought it
Anyone else notice that blue charger stop right behind Stan backing down the loader from the trailer?
I have the og version of the this loader I love it!
Hope it's good to you Stan!
Glad to hear that 👊 I hope so too
@@Dirtmonkey thing is a little tank!
just a thought , if a higher volume hydrallic pump is installed , you won't have to idle the motor up as high to get the hydralics to work faster
You still want the engine in its operating range (varies my mfg). It smooths things out, from harmonics to controls. Plus it sounds cooler! ROMROM! Lol
@@zappbrannigan3042 a properly designed hydralic system won't have those issues
We've used beat juice in tractor tires for awhile.. Never heard of using windshield washer (#blinker fluid)..
I never heard of using either.
@@Dirtmonkey they've actually transitioned over to beat juice instead of salt brine for a road pre treat as well in some places.
Sang thing goes for the washer fluid they use beat juice for weight and should have only been in the rear tires
I think that those little machines are a smart choice for a business like yours. The only other choice is a Tractor that you could use for landscaping or a backhoe, if you'll never use them in the spring, summer or fall then why buy them.
490 hours is essentially brand new. The tbo times are way higher then they used to be on diesel engines
Hey Stanley been Subscribed to and watching your channel for a bit now. I have a question about your chain binders that allow you to torc your chains with an impact drill... Where did you buy them and are they durable in your opinion??? My left arm is paralyzed and always looking for ways to make things easier for me but still wanna be safe. I am in the same business of snow removal here in Colorado. I have a nice fleet of four 2021 JCB 701 Mini-loaders and twelve Ford F450's w/ SnowDogg VXF95II V-Plows caring SaltDogg 3&4 yard bed sanders. and I transport them every year to and from my property on a 40ft flatbed GNeck. I've looked for those binders once and didn't find anything... So it would be a greatly appreciated for any help on finding some Thanks.
I guess those F450s have 7.3 Powerstrokes in them? Quite the business. Be great if most of your work can be done slow enough to not get salt sprayed every day. Although I guess you hot wash the Fords that have salt boxes at the end of every shift. That's if the wx gives you a chance. Mild temps before the wash is killer.
Did you ever find out the name of those binders?
JCB makes pretty sturdy machines. You still happy with them?
I do the same thing. No matter what i work on or anything the first thing I do is pressure wash it. I get a evil twitch every time I see guys working on engines etc with crap all over them.
"No matter what i work on or anything the first thing I do is pressure wash it.' yep- I have to wash the other guys grime off before I can really work it.
So do you think you'll use it for landscaping or mostly just snow?
Beet juice ballast is the best to use, heavier than other stuff, non corrosive, wont freeze, and is perfectly safe for the environment. Oh and its cheap.
Cool beans 👊
Pretty much all loaders have that torque release/slip clutch feature. I use it a lot when I’m loading trucks.
My sledge doesn't have it. Now I know what I was missing.
@@Dirtmonkey It’s fantastic when you are starting to pull forward after getting a bucket full from a pile. You can hold the throttle wide open and sorta slip and control your approach speed to the dump truck and finesse the bucket perfectly into/over the truck bed. It saves a lot of time when you get it down. I’ve never used smaller loaders like that but in large loaders it’s amazing. Smallest loader I run is a cat 980. I’ve always wanted to try a smaller loader out. I’m def impressed with how well the Kubota cut through that hard snow. She did pretty good!
@@Dirtmonkey some of the clutch disconnect were in the loader handel, if it has a button on it I would be looking for a fuse that might be missing or a relay that is missing and has a jumper wire across it.
What happens if you pop the machine back in gear without lowering rpms ? Just ruff on the parts ?
I have 50 gallons per rear tire on my compact tractor it's great ballest and I did it at home plus it won't rot the rims like stuff they had before
Very nice!
It's easy enough to do with a simple set up I feel like it would help out your other wheeled machines for plowing and tire sypes do help I did that my first winter and I can push snow in 2wd @@Dirtmonkey
What they refer to as a creeper clutch we called the inching brake on the forklift
"a creeper clutch we called the inching brake on the forklift'. I never heard of it called that
Kubota is a very tough machine.. we used them in mining and beat the hell out of them. Most have 6000 lbs. fork lift masts, rated for 6k lifts more buts get shady..
So the creeper clutch is a decelerator for the transmission but you don't lose rpm of the engine leaving you full power of the hydraulics , For the lifting of the loader arms .
My god are you ever happy , Ask yourself this " is it ME or everyone else?
Stan how was the kubota price wise I was gonna go look at them soon we need another smaller loader for some jobs we got this summer. We have a cat 906M that we love but I was impressed by the kubota watching it in the snow which we do a ton of plowing in winter. I love that all the attachments for our skidsteers will fit on this loader huge plus in my book. Don’t tell the tire shop they’ll hate you haha my cat loaders tires are filled to for ballast it’s common around my way
I tried to buy this brand new last year but they were sold out until 2023. this one was used and I got it for $45g
How many hours did it have when you purchased it?
That’s actually a great price considering like you say machines are tough to come by these days
I think living in Minnesota would be cool with all the snow
I love it
Thank you 👊👍
Beet juice is something that they put in tires now too.
Filling tires with fluid definitely helps we use to fill tires with water at sand plant on our loader makes big difference in traction
Nice loader.
Thanks 👍
If you don't mind saying how much did that loader cost? also what was your top speed on the highway travel wise
Stan, I live in upstate NY, travel up to Montreal on occasion to buy equipment, one time I’m at a Kubota dealer talking to salesman, I tell him I’ve got a Kubota R630 myself , I tell him it’s a 9 out of 10 , if it had higher mph it be a 10/10, he tells me his dealership can modify them to get them up to 30 kph which is 18mph. Wondering if your followers have any info on this modification?
Rv antifreeze works great and cheeper for tire fluid
My loaders have had the creeper clutch for years. Makes loading trucks alot faster
Few of the shovels i have been on are 50k now lets them stay up with tractors a little better
