Advantages of beet juice in tractor tires:
1. provides balast for lifting and driving through snow.
2. has a lower freezing temperature than CaCl.
3. will not corrode rims (as much).
4. keeps beet farmers in business.
5. emergency rations for preppers (tastes a bit like vulcanized rubber...)
Easy to spot when tyres start bleeding.
The loader lift capacity on that tractor is closer to 3000 lbs, especially if you move the lift cylinders down to the power position which works best with forks or a grapple.
The liquid fill on the tires adds weight to the back end, improving stability. It's not calcium, but calcium chloride that's the most popular fill liquid. One advantage of beet juice compared to calcium chloride is it's non-toxic and will not corrode your wheel parts.
Is correct that it adds weight, which improves stability and traction. I don’t know which rear tires you have but an online source says it adds 6-700 lbs/tire.
Better have something that won’t freeze if you add anything
@@greggrondin3034 Beet juice is good to about -35F. Probably good enough for there?
Non toxic and non corrosive are awesome properties, you really can't beet that.....🤣
Never knew they did this, is this real? They fill the back tires with liquid?
I am shocked that the tractor is the most important piece of equipment. I would have thought that honor went to the coffee thermos!☕😋
You might like a Messick's M7060 vid from a few yrs ago, go to 2:20 mark re loader pin positions and note +10% lift capacity avail if lower pin position is used. Love your videos! Stay safe and God bless.
I like when you go on your deliveries. I like looking at the countryside while your driving about.
I wish more women on CZcams were like her. Naturally beautiful and a real person. We would benefit from more like her on here as role models for young girls.
I have a 8540 with loader. Your lift hydraulic cylinder rear pins are in the higher lift height position. I have been told if you put the pins in the lower holes it will lift more weight but not reach as high. Hope this helps.
Advantages of beet juice are it is nontoxic and non-corrosive to wheels. It is freeze resistant down to minus 35 F. Weighs about 11.0 pounds per gallon, and British Columbia uses beet juice to dissolve snow and ice on the highways
Great video Emerald. Another thing about the beetjuice is it won't rust the wheels like calcium
Being a carpenter and don't get "away" from Colorado much. I'll be sure to support y'all if I get up there! Keep it up ✌️💚💪
Great to hear your getting busier and therefore need more kit.
FYI, on kubota loaders the numbers are the capacity in half metric tons. So, for example, I think your loader is an 1158. Times that by 2.2 and that gives you its rated capacity in lb’s. So your 1158 loader is rated for 2548 lb.
Gorgeous!
Tractor too.
My L6060 Kubota is the best tractor I’ve ever seen to handle everything from loading the mill, processor, 8’ disk harrow and 3 bottom plough.
Kubota is a good tractor and I would have bought one but there were not any dealers close enough to me. Thank you.
My brother had a Kubota 34 horsepower tractor, somewhat smaller than yours, and it was in a barn When the Northern California fires blew through the area about 3 years ago. The tractor, with the grand total of 43 hours on it, was a total loss. It was insured, but to see a brand new piece of nice gear melted and the hoses all burnt out was pretty grim.
Thanks for the info. I like your candied in put. Getting more relaxed at the introductory.
Thanks!
Thanks for the tour of the 7040. And it has the 3-point hydraulics at the back which I see you've fitted the tow hitch adaptor for pulling the trailer. 3:08 suggests a manual transmission which means you drive it like you do a "stick shift" car.
Love the Boss's truck with the service box!
Adding that new machine will streamline operations greatly, can't wait to see it.
New subscriber here. Seeing your entreprenuerial spirit is inspiring. These ladies appear to the Spirit of America in the flesh.
hi, emerald, i dont know much about tractors, i have been a carpenter for many years, custom cabinets, furniture, patio covers, arbors, have used many of the saws i see you girls using, i have worked in a lumber yard, i really like how you explain things, you are so cool in how you present yourself, i always enjoy your videos, o yea, i think you are very pretty, i have alot of respect for you, you are what i would call a very tuff girl, so keep up the good work, keep makin videos, never give up, and always stay safe, see ya, rz
👏👍
I suggest you move the cylinder pins to the lower hole. Greater mechanical advantage.
Beet juice does not corrode the Steel Wheels like Calcium Chloride does. Wheels are usually filled to top of the rim.
I have an L3901 which is around 30hp - love it!
You were looking beautiful there in front of the tractor Ms. Emerald!!! Very nice 👌!!!
That's a little tractor for farming as well 👍
I learned something new today! yup beet juice freezes at a much lower temp than water and is not corrosive to rims
As someone who used a Kubota M6040 for years on a horse farm, I can attest that they do come smaller than your 7040. You have a Shuttle Shift on that tractor and I think they are a little less intuitive than the hydrostatic treadle pedal used on compact Kubotas. They are great little tractors though!
I've had a Kabota L4400 for about 11years and haven't had to do any other than route maintenance. Still has the original battery.
GREAT VIDEO EMERY ..... THANKS FOR SHOWING US YOUR TRACTOR !!!!
Kubota, like any new machine, is high maintenance but with TLC, it will last for the grandchildren. It is a good size for you , sis and dad. Being as tall as you girls are, it will be much ,ore comfortable and safer to operate. More productive also. Thank you for your GREAT VIDEOS.
Kubota is built stronger then any other brand period! they use thicker steel stronger everything! they are hands down the best ! an articulating loaders is the best machine to have for what your doing they are the most usable machines so handy to have around !
LOL. Sooo strong... yet their largest machine is like 200hp, and that was introduce a year or so ago.
@@ShainAndrews Are you trolling Zen?
I am thinking HP and the durability of a tractor are very different.
I am almost sure Zen was referring to comparable machines.
@@ShainAndrews kubota is the industry standard Japanese engineering is paramount.... all kubotas are under rated I buy sell equipment we work on all equipment mainly in the mining industry but I can tell ya kubota builds stuff right
@@rajbeekie7124 Their "tractors" until recently were all sub compacts. There are pro's and cons to each manufacture. In the end what it comes down is dealer support. Sounds like these guys have a good dealer, and they are close. They have a long long way to go before they catch up to the incumbents, particularity AGCO. They have really gotten their dealer network tuned up.
We have 2 Kubota excavators made in Japan. They are superb. The quality
control from Japan is superb. Have a John Deere 5083E 80 HP tractor
made in Georgia with a loader, it won't pick up anything over 2,000 pounds.You are
one cool chick Emerald. 😀
Once you get used to it the articulated loader will be so much better
Love your video’s, wish they were longer. You could be the new Kubota model, you looked great showing the tractor.
Cool! A second tractor coming to the log yard.
Thanks Emerald! Enjoyed the review on the Kubota. I’m looking forward to your other piece of equipment.
Beet juice for tires is supposed to be good down to -35F before it freezes. I had no clue until now.

Emerald, the girl that gets better looking with every video.
This is a great video to learn about the equipment that you use for the mill 👍
Beat juice is currently the best thing to use in tractor tires for extra weight and ballast.
Never owned nor seriously drove a tractor however I've rebuilt 9 to 10 in my lifetime including cracking the case qnd repairing or replacing internal gears bearing and if required spacers.
I have a Kubota m5140 w / shuttle shift pre emissions. Beet juice filled tires with exceptional freezing tolerance.
I use forks almost all the time and guessing I can lift up to 2500#
I have a backhoe to lift the heavier loads.
Other than the paint turning pink, not much to complain about, Wait, I almost forgot about the throttle handle that Kubota designed to dig into your right leg.
The tractor is one essential tool to do the work hard
Well I agree with you Emerald is very smart too my tractor from a dealer really close to you. Awesome review. You should get them to sponsor a few of your videos. When you get your articulated loader they should sponsor some of your videos. Thanks for sharing look forward to your videos. He definitely brighten up my day.
Change the oil regularly and pressure clean all the equipment it makes a difference
I have a JD 2040 (40HP), JD2555 (55HP), JD2940 (95HP), JD4230 (110HP)
My favorite tractor is the 2940 but the 2555 is the only one with a loader.
I think it’s too late but y’all might want to think about getting a skid loader. Our Bobcat T62 is compact and can lift 4,000lb concrete blocks easy, it’s a lot safer then a tractor and it does 15MPH!
Interesting fact: With Kubota loaders, the # on the side after the LA is about the max lift in kg. If you want lbs, just times by 2.2.
Always enjoy your videos. The Mountain View Is an awesome work environment. Y’all stay safe 👍🏼🇺🇸😎
Good review. Well articulated.
We had the M7040 for 5 yrs, a bulletproof tractor, we upgraded to a M5-091, a lot heavier and more powerful tractor 👍🏼🇺🇸
Calcium causes rust on the rim, mine rotted holes through rim, You have a bright future as a sales person or a Teacher. I hope if you find a significant, other they don't ruin all that you have built for yourself so far.
Great review. Yep with a manual gearbox or a stick shift as its called in the USA, you have to use the clutch to disengage the gearbox when stopping. Best of luck with your new artic loader, waiting for the review
Beet juice,, mind blown, learned something new again....
One brand is called Rim-Guard. It's not cheap stuff.
Finally saw your lumber yard from the highway. Was traveling to Harrisburg from Liberty.
@@_Boregard_Rippy_ Hard working Americans just making a living. I love them!
I couldn't honestly care less about tractors or lumber for that matter but you make it very interesting for some reason.
an exceptional tractor
The only thing I don't like about Kubota is the paint fades out fast, when they are new the Bright orange looks nice!!
Beet juice helps keep the tires rooted.
Good video you should ask kuboto for a sponsorship or reduced price on your new equipment
Their service rep should be able to help you lower pin and increase lift capacity
Maybe a video of you and Jade talking about your home schooling. It’s clear it is a success story.
Great to see you back again.
Good video
Take the number on the loader arm and double it. That's the load capacity. In this case about 2500#.
Hello very nice to see you again as always and the wonderful information as well
beet juice because it doesnt freeze until -20f i think and not corrosive or poisonoius to animals if a tire breaks in a pasture setting.
Loaders are nicer than a tractor with a bucket. Our loader, Cat 950G, can lift itself or at least put itself on 2 wheels. It's 20 tons though.
Kubota is a popular choice in my area.
I always wanted to know about Kubota tractors.
See if your supplier has or can hook you up with a rough terrain fork lift. Kind of like a backwards tractor with forks run off of the three point hitch. Major lifting power. Again, just FYI.
Now you will have two places with air-conditioning 😁.
Does look like a nice light farm / utility tractor.
Surprised you don't have a large skid steer, unless you do use it to pull things often, then that would make sense.
Does it just not lift the load or dies the rear end pick up? Might just need aome more rear ballast if. 🤷♂️
Buff polish and wax the kubota.. make her pretty again. Make a video about it. Love the content. Keep it up!
Love your channel.
Good luck. 👍
You women are outstanding, exemplary of how life should be whether Female or Male . We f/m have to stand up , there are no other way
We m/f
Gee wiz I love it when the tractor matches the girl! 😆
Wow awesome footage
Nice video. Great machine
Thanks so much for sharing! 😊
At the 2:00 mark, you touched the pins that should be moved to the lower holes. This will increase your lift capacity, but you won't be able to lift as high. Keep up the good work
I was wondering what size tractor it was. Surprising about the lift capacity. There is another logging y/t site I watch and he has a little john deer but he lifts some largish logs with that. Farmers over here go for the Fel as we use them for everything, accepting vineyard growers. Thanks for the vid.
Does that beet juice come from Shrute Farm, also in Pennsylvania?
You are doing a great job a creating
Content. You are a very inventive person. Keep up the great Filming
Will keep watching
Nice! I have two John Deere 5085Es and wish that I had bought comparable Kubotas instead. JD has become a real pain.
I heard the E series have had some issues, how’s it been for you?
This is a great video to learn about the e
Kubota has found an incredible spokes model. Will they offer her a contract?
Beer juice is non corrosive and environmental friendly if you would happen to get a leak in your tire. And I believe have your per volume than calcium.
Lager or Pilsner?
Lol!!!! Oppps. BEET juice.
Could we talk you into publishing a calendar , seems with your artist ability and all the action going on 12 good action pictures would cover the year . I for one would purchase one !
Yes, perhaps even for a charity or wood safety cause!
The loader has a capacity of 1153 Kgs - about 2500 lbs - Do you have enough ballast on the back end? An 8 ft oak log 29 inches in diameter is just about that
Hi Emerald, I've owned and operated a Kubota tractor since @ 1979. It's still running strong and performs everything expected of it.
As a member I'm still hoping to get your batter recipe for tortillas/flat breads😊👍? By the way I think you'll find the B-4200 is Kubota's smallest farm tractor. It's designed for use in orchards and vineyards.
I’m a John Deere guy but that’s pretty cool. When are you painting it green?
Ha! Already have a quart of (expensive) Kubota orange! The paint fade is from the sun. Inside storage or a tarp cover will keep the paint like new. After 42 years I only have some touch up from dings and scratches.
I was hoping for the same recipe it looks like an easy fast recipe to grab your food and go.
@@wayneday3916 I really appreciate the ethics of this family. After running a statewide K-12 Learn and Serve America Program for over 15 years I've seen every iteration of youth behavior. Emerald and siblings represent the Pinnacle of youth behavior. I especially enjoy her sojourns into activities outside of the Log Yard. Cooking, hunting, rock climbing and carpentry show a well rounded lifestyle.👍
@@rickfritschler3865 I agree their work ethics are great. I really wish the best for this family.
Nice review. I think your back fenders are screaming for some Armour all.
Thumbnail looks like I won the tractor on a game show.
Best regards from Indiana.
Nice tractor
I hate beet juice - I guess that a good use of it. I'll send you a few bottles that I have laying around. 😉😉
🇻🇳🤗🇻🇳street (Vietnam) thank you my friend for sharing good video. I really like your video. I wish my friend a good and successful day. Greetings from Vietnam to you...😉
Have you considered going to work for the USFS? They will pay for your education, provide full medical and retirement, and give you cool clothing to wear.
Good job on the video Have a great day
Morior Invictus. I couldn't agree more.
Nice review!
