- What do you need to consider when purchasing attachments? Not everything is apples to apples, and a more expensive attachment doesn't always mean it is better made.

Hi Neil, I am a new salesman at a tractor dealer in Minnesota. I have watched a lot of your videos to gain product knowledge. There is not much information or training available in this industry. I thank you for helping me pass the learning curve and be able to answer my customers questions. You’re a great salesman and I hope to be just as good as you in the distant future!
Thanks man. I get the impression many new salespeople learn from my videos. I'm way more entertaining than any factory training, that's for sure!
I wish all sales personnel was half this informed and I work at a Kubota dealership!
Neil for a implement I’d take a shear bolt or shear pin for rotary cutters tillers or snowblowers cause a shear pin or shear bolt won’t twist a pto shaft vs a slip clutch once it’s over tensioned or slipping it can catch the grass or tractor on fire or make the bearings fail the first time I experienced a shear pin or shear bolt was from a hockey puck in my snowblower I became a believer of the protection from that day
Might be good to have both. A properly "graded" shear-bolt ALWAYS WORKS.....but maybe TOO Good & TOO Often! A Slip clutch HAS To Be ADJUSTED almost Daily/ even for the same job from one day to the next, BUT they Work GREAT when properly adjusted. A "Slip-clutch" can be "locked-up,frozen,rusted-into-place,in dis-repair",or just NOT adjusted properly. This "PURE-LOCK-UP" can lead to CATISTROFIC Failures.
Back in 2001, my local Kubota sale rep underestimated my intended tractor needs. It was my first tractor and I did not express my anticipated activities well enough.
He sold me a B2910 (which was a good machine) with a Woods BH7500 backhoe, Land Pride rake, and back blade. I was reworking my 1 acre lot, moving lots of large boulders and hard pack NH soil. Within 3 years, the transmission developed problems.
He upgraded me to an L3130 but keeping the same implements. Each of them wore out due to the larger tractor. Over the years I needed to replace each of the implements and went to the largest/strongest ones that appropriately would fit on my L3130. That was such a difference!
The latest to be replaced was the backhoe. Because when I got the L3130 and reused the backhoe, the Woods subframe was added by the dealer. When it came time to replace the BH7500, the Woods BH75 was the obvious choice. I would have liked the BH80-X, but it had just been discontinued.
Yes, it is very important to size the implements to the size of the tractor AND the intended uses.
Neil, I stopped into the Mount Joy store last Saturday and was hoping to see you. I live in Northern Utah and was visiting PA and had 30 minutes to drop in. Don approached me and asked if I needed help and I told him what I was up to. He then proceeded to show me around the whole store, parts, service, shipping & receiving and I am so impressed. I have watched your videos for some time and have seen that new location on film and it was even more impressive in person. I am please to say that I am now a proud wearer of a fancy Messicks hat and really enjoyed my time there with Don. Wish I could have talked with you, but still happy I made the time to visit. Keep up the good work. I love the videos.
Sorry to miss you. I was just north of salt lake a few weeks ago visiting a friend at Valley Implement.
@@MessicksEquip Shoot, that would have put you 30 minutes away from my house. thanks for the reply back. Have a great weekend.
I love the "rotate this way" demonstration! :-)
Great info Neil. Thanks for making us smarter. Further proof of the importance of picking the right dealer.
Only properly maintained slip clutches are useful. Neglected clutches are hazards.
Exactly!!! Thats way stupid people should just get a shear bolt.
Thanks for the info, I have a BX2380 with the loader, mower deck and box blade. I want to get more attachments and you helped me to choose the right size. Thanks
I appreciate your integrity
Great information, thanks.
I sure like my BB3584 box blade. Very nice box. Wish it was a little heavier but it's 835lbs it does pretty good I can move a lot of dirt in a short time.
Very informative video Neil. I have a Kubota MX5400 that I want to get some attachments for. Going over what those Land Pride model numbers and letters mean is very helpful to me. Thanks for sharing another awesome video.
He is going to tell you exactly what that dealer wants you to hear. Remember he is an owner in that dealer. I have an MX 5200 and really enjoy my attachments from EA, Everything Attachment . They build things heavy, for abuse, and to last. Ad a comparison, my EA box blade has 6 rippers, compared to land prides 5. And it was less money, with way more quality. Shop around, not at the dealers. CZcams will guide you in the right direction. None of my implements come from the Kubota dealer. Good Luck.
@@miken8336 just wanted to note that Everything Attachment is dealing with some legal troubles and many customers have paid for product not delivered. You can google the news stories. Don’t want others to fall victim.
E A made ( as in, past tense) great attachments.......But not anymore unless somebody buys the defuct company .......Too bad they made some real good equipment......@@miken8336
I’m pretty sure EA is out of business
Bad news about EA.
Great video
I got a MX5200 a few years back and have been limping my very old Ford 60” shredder along. After 40 years the deck is rusting through and it’s time to get a newer used one. I will say these implements are very expensive considering the occasional use they get (for me at least). I only shred twice a year as they’re grazing pastures (only 6 acres).
Great video.
Good info. Tyvm
Thanks for the info
Wish you were my local dealer.
So in one instance the welded deck edge is preferred…but the rolled edge is preferred in another????
RCR = rotary cutter rear.
Hey Neil! Love your channel man. Your vids are so well done and informative. They have helped a ton.
I bought a new cabbed L4060 last year and am collecting different implements now. Next one will be a cutter like you showed at the beginning of this vid. What series and size would be best for the L4060?? Would want the slip clutch obviously. Thanks!
72-84"
@@MessicksEquip sorry is that the model number?
@@andreww4885 no. 72 or 84"
Your last line about walking around the yard with the customer to show the differences between implements is exactly right. But what do you do when your local dealer barely stocks anything? It's so difficult comparing implements within a company's line up (they don't divulge a lot of info publicly) let alone trying to find equivalents BETWEEN companies' implements to find the better value. Does a comparison website exist?
No website. Not sure it could be done.
Try factory add-ons. My dealer didn't discuss with me the available options when buying equipment. I had to look up what was available on the Kubota website, then address with the dealer. I thought that was a bit odd. I don't view it as an "up-sell". If you're going to finance, you may as well get the options you want, like third function and rear remotes.
@@MessicksEquip If anyone could, it would be you, Neil!
L2501 HST which Landpride Tiller? Rotary Cutter would you spec out ?
You mentions someyhing about slip clutches on implements. I bought a nee tiller for my kubota bx1880. Its designed for 12-20pto hp, so it just bately within the capabilities of my bx. I will still be really careful. My question about another comment you made one time about manualy slipping the sip clutch to ensure that its working properly so you dont damage implement/tractor. Could you tell.me whete to find a video you made to explain the procedure? I mentioned thod to my dealer and he was dumbfounded. That tech had no.cluecas to what I was talking about. Ty.
👍👍
I have an RCR1248 that I use with my BX2680. It is totally insufficient for my property. The front of the cutter deck split from the top, the rub strips don’t extend far enough back and are too narrow. Wouldn’t recommend
Multiple stories of Landpride stuff failing. It would not be my first choice in implements.
As usual, Neil does a fantastic job of explaining whatever he is showing in the video. I was a little surprised, though he never mentioned updog in this video…
I build my own box scraper.
What happened to woods Gannon box blades?
Still offered but on the Woods construction/industrial side of things.
@@NateGlessner73 6’ ? I can’t find them on website
Ted, from Everything attachments, has entered the chat. 😂
Would be the first he has been seen in awhile 😂
Rbs72 woods blade isn’t for a 32hp tractor I can tell you that.
As a BX-23S owner, if what you're implying is true it alarms me that I can't get as good a warranty on equipment for my machine as implements for larger machines.
Can you clarify that portion of your narrative?
I did not think I made any references to warranty. Can you clarify your question?
I think he saying that smaller implements come with smaller gearboxes. Those gearboxes typically come with shorter warranties.
Neil, I have a LX4020 19.5"R-14 tires and a Land pride RB2672 rear blade with hydralic angle. Tractor manual says 60" max. If I put on rear extension plates on the tractor for more clearance for chains the blade angle cut barely clears the tire track. Do you think my 40 hp model tractor can handle a RB 2684 model blade?
I don't have any real seat time on the LX4020 yet, but my gut says yes.
I've used a BH brand 96" blade on the back of a L3540. It works depending on how much material you move. You could always take smaller bites. Tractor had no problem lifting the blade of course. I found when you move the blade out to the side and angle it, you pretty much need one that size in order to have reach.
Keep in mind your LX4020 has a LOT of PTO power ....But for "Brute-Strengh" Pulling it just has a "Watch-gear Chinesium transmission ". That 6' implement Will TEAR that tractor up!!!
💞💞💞💞👍👍👍👍👍 very good
I was under sold on my box blade because it should have been the next size up to cover my tire width. They over sold me on my forks because my tractor can only lift less than half the capacity (or just under the capacity of the next size down).
It's typical to do that with forks. You want a single fork over the total possible capacity of the loader. A 500lb loader often gets 2000lb forks.
@@MessicksEquip Well, that makes since. Never thought of the safety factor of having one fork possibly taking the full load.
I clicked on this vid by the title who makes the best attachment.??????
There is not one easy answer to that. Gotta put eyes on it.
Everything Attachment's .
Everything Attachments is history!
LOLOLOLOLOL
They gone!
Did they really go under?
@1jw298 yes, looks like they got in over their heads and bailed. Left people stuck with orders unfulfilled and all.
I buy whatever the sales person tells me to. They're the expert and you should never question the experts.
Do I smell sarcasm????
@@1jw298 l hope so.
Uff my friend u havent been shoping in over 70 yrs have you. Those children employes are there just to take up air space.
No just truth.
@@1jw298 no just the truth. Store employes know nothing. Dont know diffrence betwee. A screw or a bolt or nut. Sad fact
