Glad to see that they're starting to sponsor you.
Thanks guys! You know I’ll always give their products a solid workout and keep you informed on my thoughts!
You are a master with that tractor and stump bucket, fun to watch! Great teaching video too!
Thanks Mark! I certainly enjoy it anytime I can give the tractor and implement a hard workout.. I’m not having fun till I’m on the edge of breaking something lol. Stay safe!
I gotta show my BX23S this video so it knows how gentle it gets treated! 🤣
Lmao 😂 that’s awesome. Yah I’m pretty “mean” to my Bx that’s for sure, but I’ll tell you she takes it like a champ! Haha. Some days I think to myself “ohh this is gonna break something for sure” but it never does! I have YET to break a SINGLE thing on this tractor.. which is absolutely mind blowing to me.. and attests to how well Kubota builds their machines! Thanks for watching!
PS. Check this video out if you havnt already.. she took a beating this day too for sure lol.

Good job , I’m glad they are working with you ! 👍
Thanks Todd! I’v got lots more stumps I wanna dig out of the ground too and maybe even a few trees still attached? 🤔 lol
The teeth on that stump bucket brought it to the next level. Good job.
Thanks Rick! Indeed they did! It was a night and day difference! I still have to check out your video I didn’t forget about you! I’m sorry I been so busy lately and keep forgetting once I have the free time
Nothing short of amazing on the stump at 17 minutes. Artillian bucket is money for this machine.
Thanks Steve! I totally agree with you! This stump bucket on these little tractors is one heck of a tool to have in your Arsenal, there are tons of uses for it and it’s built like a tank. Thanks for watching!
The tractor's a a** kicker That does a heck of a job A lot of power In that little tractor Good luck taking every snowfall stay safe have a good day🎉🎉
Thanks buddy! I’m glad you noticed! So many people just think these machines are overgrown lawn mowers so I’m glad you can see the power they have in the right hands. These tractors can get an ENORMOUS amount of work done in a short time with the right operator in the seat and it’s both saved and made me a ton of money over the last 4-5 years! Happy Easter to you and your family!
You get the job done with that tractor the bucket amazed me with the work it can do.I did not think the stump buckets dug so well now i know otherwise thanx for sharing!
Thanks Andrew, these stump buckets are amazing attachments and for the money you honestly can’t beat it! I have dug up 20+ stumps so far with them and I’m amazed every time I use it.. if you have some pesky stumps around your property it’s worth the purchase even if it’s just a few of them as paying someone to come take care of them for you could cost the price of the implement. Thanks for watching!
Good stuff man, great video
Great representation of what a sub compact tractor can do when properly set up and an experienced operator. I believe the backhoe would take alot of time from what I've seen on other channels. They struggle with roots also. Great video!
Tree stumps are like a box of chocolates you never know what you will find.
Couldn’t agree more! I often relate them to an ice burg haha .. small on the surface but can be deceiving as some are monsters underneath the ground
Great video, as usual.
Excellent job! That stump bucket does really good!
Thanks buddy! I was really impressed with it, those new side teeth really made a huge difference indeed. I see your channels bees doing awesome too, keep up the great work!
Atta boy Biffy!
Hi Biff. Nice video. The stump bucket is a handy tool to have around.
Thanks Jean! So far I’v been super happy with it and the new side teeth are a very welcome upgrade! Makes tearing through roots twice if not 3x as fast/easy. Stay safe!
Thanks for the info and the MUSIC, Biff!
Of course! I actually thought of one of your comments when I was editing this, I said “If I don’t put music in this time they may just kill me” haha. I personally enjoy the music as well but like to hear the engine also at times so this time I did a little 1/2 and 1/2. Thanks for watching!
i absolutely love these, like to get these for my deere..and awesome video my friend!!!!
Thanks buddy! Yes I’d have to agree, the stump bucket is not only a joy to watch but it’s even more of a joy to use! Prolly one of my top favorite attachments no doubt! You should buy One soon !
Biff good morning you did a great job thanks
God Bless All
PaK
Thankyou Peter! God Bless buddy!
Looks like it works very well
👍
Thanks Mike, I was impressed!
Awesome
Very good grasshopper! You left enough stump there to assist in leveraging. I have the good works mini stump bucket on my jd. My favorite attachment so far because stump removal makes me smile. I appreciate your videos.
Thanks buddy, how are you liking the GWT stump bucket? Most the guys who follow my videos own the Artillian like I do but I’ve seen the GWT bucket and it seems like a nice piece as well! Iv got plenty more stump removal videos also if you check out my channel, I agree ripping out stumps is a TON of fun, but so is watching others do the same! Glad you enjoyed 👍🏻
@@BiffsEquipment it’s doing great. It has the saw teeth and they help rip apart the roots. Going to make a video hopefully this evening or tomorrow. Same as you I love to watch others do the same
@@Rip1Outdoors thanks man, I’ll have to check it out! I just posted a new video this weekend showing the new ripper teeth off and putting them to work ripping out some stubborn bushes.. those new ripper teeth were amazing! If you havnt seen my new video yet check it out I think you’ll like it 👍🏻
Definitely handy to have.
Thanks, these stump buckets are worth every penny, specially because they don’t cost much to begin with! 👍🏻
Impressive
Thanks Aaron, glad you enjoyed!
If I owned the older stump bucket I would buy 2 sets of teeth and bolt them both on. One to the outside and one to the inside.
Hey that’s a great idea Kent I didn’t even think about that! You could run one set on the inside and one set on the outside and you’ll really be able to get a good bite ripping through those roots.. tho the only negitive I can think of is your pressure per square inch would be decreased slightly as you’ll be adding width to the sides but I doubt it would be enough to cause a negitive effect. Maybe I’ll try this sometime 👍🏻
Great video! I am heading toward the Artillian system soon. If you are going to do this type "heavy" work with your tractor, you need to get a grill guard if it will fit ASAP. You got real close in this video to uglying up that tractor.,
Thanks Phillip! I actually just finally added a Grill guard a few months ago, I agree I needed one very badly as I explained in this video which I’ll link down below.. if you skip to the 6:30 mark of the video you’ll see where I showed some clips of other videos where I almost smashed my grill to pieces then explained that’s why I needed one so badly and was happy i finally had one.. check the link and lmk what you think! czcams.com/video/ocfm_fnwax4/video.html
Nice job man, I have a bx 2380 with a homemade stump bucket I modeled after the artillian I’ve learned a lot from your videos, but my stumps must be a lot harder to uproot than yours, or maybe I’m just not as good of an operator, I suspect the latter. Keep it up I enjoy the videos
That’s awesome Jason! These stump buckets can really be a life saver and a back saver too, I also enjoy using it to dig trenches, to dig and transplant bushes and plants and all sorts of stuff.. just so many purposes for them. I’m glad to hear your home made stump bucket is working well for you! I also enjoy building my own attachments too.. last fall I built my own snow pushed and put it on the channel, last winter it worked flawlessly, plus you get to learn and brush up your fabrication skills in the process! Thanks for watching 👍🏻
TIM from Canada suggestions on your tooth Bar.. if you were to extend it out to 6 foot. you would have the links you needed to get underneath that stump. It is too short for what you were doing. A four sided triangle would get you the length and then depth you would need to get that stump out same thing you have going on now, but putting a cap on the top of that route bucket, extending the nose out to 6 foot.
Thanks Tim.. I get what your saying but unfortunately if I added even 2’ more of length to the bucket let alone 6’ the tractor would never have the break out force to curl and get good leverage on the stumps or roots.. this is why you must keep these buckets short and close to the loader curl pins for efficient use. It’s already pretty hard on a machine to dig stumps specially one this size but adding more length and weight to the attachment would only make it worse.
I have another stump bucket I used for trenching a gas line.. seen in this recent video here: czcams.com/video/XpMJVBuGkqU/video.html it’s a 24” bucket Vs. the 18” bucket you saw me use here.. I used both buckets on this job and you’ll see that with the 24” it’s just about too much for the tractor to handle to get any real work done because of the size of the tractor.. now on the other hand as you’ll see in that video the longer bucket did help me to dig deeper as was expected and IMO that’s the only reason you should use a 24” or longer bucket on a sub compact is if you absolutly need the reach.
Thanks for watching!
That stump bucket looks like it is a great tool in open area where you can get your tractor on all sides and work. I have a lot of tight spots and hills where a backhoe is my only option or maybe a stump grinder can get to. I think you would really enjoy a backhoe.
Thanks Mike, yah some day I want to buy a mini excavator instead of a backhoe only because for the price difference I don’t see it being worth it to add a backhoe to my BX when a mini ex is much more capable.. until then I’ll have to rely on the stump bucket but also plan on buying a stump grinder soon.. prolly won’t be till next spring now tho as funds are low. Hope your doing well man!
@@BiffsEquipment sounds like a great plan
As always, another great video! Are you taking pictures of the backyard as it progresses? Be neat to see the before and after from the same viewpoint.
Thanks Tony! I do have some pics of when I first started clearing land behind my house, some day I would like to do a video showing the before and after shots.. friends and family that havnt been over for awhile can’t believe it’s even the same yard. Hope you and your family are having a great Xmas!
@@BiffsEquipment Thank you! I hope your family has had a great Christmas as well. I look forward to the progress in the backyard. It's your fault that I have purchased a stump bucket for my B2601, lol.
Great job as always Biff. This stump bucket won't work on my stump problem. I have some trees that grew up through a concrete floor from an old torn down building. One is probably 10-12 inches, so I think I may need a small dozer to tackle these.
Thanks Ron! Yes it sounds like you may need a mini excavator or a larger machine to tackle those.. or even a stump grinder.. I still plan on buying a stump grinder myself but it prolly won’t be until the spring now. Hope your doing well!
Nice work. You might think about getting or making a grill guard. Couple times I thought the loader was going to slip over the stump and the stump would end up in your front grill. Would turn a good into a bad day real fast.
Haha yes indeed I did worry about that after watching the video over.. I saw how close I came a few times.. my front grill or hood bonnet is pretty cracked and destroyed anyways (the plastic on these older Bonnets get brittle) so not a huge deal for me tho I have wanted to add a grill gaurd but don’t like the fact that with the non 80 series BX’s you have to remove the entire grill guard too remove the hood bonnet so that was always a deal breaker for me cuz it’s not that quick of a removal.. I have debated installing a BX80 grill guard tho which bends down out of the way and may allow me to keep the grill guard on and still be able to remove my bonnet.. I may try it some time soon. Thanks for watching!
@@BiffsEquipment I hear you on both issues. After 10+ years, one of those plastic tabs that holds the plastic side bonnet in place cracked off on my BX25. Tried gluing it back but it didn’t last. Like my heavily built front grill, but it’s a pain to have to remove it any time I want to get full access to the engine compartment. Lot of nice updates on the 80 series, but if I ever trade it would be for a larger model.
👍🏻
My trees normally have a deep tap root so instead of cutting down the tree and digging out the stump I dig around a tree and push the tree over. The weight of the tree will help pull the stump out.
I totally agree! Leaving the tree standing is best or cutting the stumps high so you have more leaversge to push them down.. I cut most these trees before I had a stump bucket so I did not expect to be digging these but was actually planning on buying a stump grinder to grind them all.. the next smaller trees i need gone I plan to dig them out as they stand.. I have a few I wanna do in the coming weeks like that so stay tuned for that! I plan to leave the larger stumps as they are till I get my stump grinder next spring. Thanks for watching 👍🏻
Another great video. My question is how deep can you dig with the stump bucket? Luckily I have the backhoe on mine but my trees have long tap roots had to dig 5 feet down around some to get out.
Thanks buddy! I can usually dig roughly 2.5-3.5 foot deep but to get this deep you need to dig in a way that gives your fork frame the clearance.. 2.5 feet isn’t very hard to achieve but after 3’ you really need to start making room for your fork frame which means digging the holes wider out in every direction so you can fit more of the entire bucket and fork frame down into the ground.. as long as your doing this then you can dig down as far as your loader will take you.. 4’ is gonna be about the very max tho I would guess. Hope this helps!
Hey Mike, do you feel the added ballast reduces your down pressure? I always felt it was harder to get the loader to dig with too much on back, but load and haul was more stable. Obviously once you're under the stump it is a benefit.
Great question Jason.. I actually have never felt or had that issue.. I never felt like my down pressure or digging force was affected in a negitive way it’s only ever helped my to dig and push with more force.. if you feel your not getting enough digging force then you just need to put more weight down on your FEL and allow the rear tires to drive it into the Ground.. this is why you saw me lifting my whole front end in the air a few times specially when forcing over those big stumps as the more pressure you can put on the back of the tractor typically the more force your able to exert into that ever it is your pushing into. Hope this helps!
I wonder if there is anything like this available in Oz? I'd certainly have a lot of use for this attachment but not for stumps. For the amount of disruption to the ground, the fact you have to dispose of the stump and then fill the in hole, For me personally makes my PTO stump grinder a much better proposition. I have ground off stumps from Trees that were 37" a meter off the ground which I would have no hope of getting out with the BX or the 1025. Yes, it's not quick, good 20 Min for something like that but I feel it's much less strain on the machinery and I can do it where it would be impossible with one of these even on the 60 Hp Iseki. Trees the size shown in this vid would be 5 Min oif that and it's job done, no more to come back and do or stumps to burn or dispose of. I still think it's a great tool though and would add a fair bit of excavator like utility to a tractor. I'd sure like one but for me, the grinder is better on trees for my needs. Great and entertaining Vid. I'd buy one if I could get one.
Yah it all depends on the type of ground you have and the size and types of stumps your using it on.. you gotta remember too it can also be used for many other purposes, I also use the stump bucket to dig bushes, shrubs, to transplant, as well as trenching so it’s not only a stump bucket but works very well (for me) as a stump bucket also.. I don’t like to dig out stumps larger than 8” tho as every time I do it takes a tole on the machine .. anything under 6” tho is just a breeze with this thing.. litterally takes me a couple min to pop it out of the ground and typically I can back fill it with in a few minutes and only have a small divot in the ground when I’m done so for me it’s fine but for others they may wanna do different routes.. either way for the very small price tag it’s worth every penny IMO even if you only have a few stumps you need to take care of .. this tool quickly pays for itself
Nice piece, but you really need to get a backhoe. I added a factory BH to my BX2660. Look into a Woods I believe was the brand.
A backhoe would be great but to me it’s not worth the extra cost when buying them after the fact of already owning the machine.. for the 8k+ it would cost me to add a backhoe even if I found it all for a smoking deal say 6k I can find myself a nice mini excavator for a few grand more.. this has always been my intention as I can do a lot more with a mini ex than I would be able to with the BX backhoe. That’s not to say it’s not worth buying when buying the tractor new tho cuz it certainly is.. but if trying to add one after the fact it’s really not worth it IMO. Also with these smaller stumps I think I can dig them faster than a sub compact backhoe could until we start talking stumps that are 10”+ in diameter in which case the backhoe would prolly start pulling ahead of the stump bucket for time. Thanks for watching!
What exactly are the wires that goes into the buckets from each sides?
I have a 2024 Badboy tractor with the backhoe attachment and it looks like your stump bucket does just as good or a little better at digging up stumps.
Thanks Randy! How you liking that BadBoy tractor? I use to own a BadBoy zero turn 3 years ago and it was a nice little mower, I have seen the new Badboy tractor on Tim’s channel and it looked awesome. I’m sure your backhoe works very well for digging stumps too and is less work for the machine to do them.. digging stumps with the FEL does work great and at times is faster than a backhoe but I can tell you from experience that it puts more of a hurting on your tractor than using a backhoe would.. it really gives the loader a workout but it does get the job done for much less (in most cases) but in cases where the stumps are much larger a backhoe is gonna be better every time. Thanks for watching!
@@BiffsEquipment I love the Badboy tractor. I also have a 60" cut Badboy ZTR mower. I haven't had any trouble with either. This is the only tractor I've ever owned or operated so I'm still learning, but thanks to watching yours and Tim's channel I've learned a lot. I've mostly just used it on my property but when I'm more confident with my operating skills I would like to do some jobs like you do.
@@randywilliamson5613 glad to hear man! Yep your doing the right thing, best thing to do is work around your own property so you can get good with it, learn the machine and what you can do with it and then once your confident in your skills and knowledge you can start doing side jobs like me.. that’s exactly how I got started. Best of luck and stay safe!
That things a beast love that new bucket Biff does your treadle pedal have any side to side action mine has like 1/2 inch just wondering if that was normal don't see anything loose it pivots at the bushing shaft I lube that thing religiously app it.
Hey Stephen thanks for watching! My pedal does not have that much play, it sounds like you may have loose hardware or possibly a bad or incorrectly installed bushing or something.. I think mine only moved 1/8” to 1/4”tops side to side if that.. I will check it next time I am on my machine and see if I can report back tho.. but I’m almost positive it doesn’t and I prolly don’t grease mine as often as I should
@@BiffsEquipment thank bruh . I just gave it the full service everything all filters and fluids the the mower deck kicked my ass wish I'd just got a finish mower 60 inch one. Took me 6hrs but I though maybe the screen was plugged rt piston dont work until almost 3k nothing on the screen. Havnt taken the loader off yet but the dump piston still bleeds off.
Hi yo silver, away man....you were up there a few times! Yeh that thing is sweet, real nice bucket with the teeth and all. So this uses the same frame for forks?
Haha sure was! The stump bucket uses the same frame as their pallet forks as well as the same frame for their grapple, it’s an entire system basically. Once you purchase their pallet fork frame you can then purchase everything else off them to fit the same frame so you can pay less for each attachment since they all share the same frame.. it’s a very slick, high quality system!
Oh wow, yeh I like that concept. That said, I got a pair of clamp-on forks I absolutely hate, so am waiting to stumble on a junker ssqi plate to weld them onto.
Awesome what is that plate on the front behind the bucket I’m thinking about buying on bc I been using the backhoe
The plate that holds the buckets is a pallet fork frame. This one is made by Artillian so that it can be used for all of their acsessories like their stump bucket
Thanks you
I was just looking at a competitor stump bucket and then I saw this video!! I like that it uses the pallet fork frame so you kind of get 2 tools for one. Quick question, I have a BX2380 with quick attach. What pallet frame do you use? Also, the 3000# one has the 2 inch receiver, does that interfere with the location of the stump bucket? Thanks in advance!
Hey Tim, the fork frame I use is made by Artillian.. I believe they have 2 separate frames a heavy duty and a light duty frame.. you would want their heavy duty frame for grapple and stump bucket work as it exerts a lot more force.. their light fork frame is made for their pallet forks only so that you can keep the weight as low as possible when moving heavy pallets with a compact or sub compact tractor .. as for trying their stump bucket on a competitors fork frame or a standard fork frame I am unsure if it will fit, I have never tried it.. I’m assuming tho that they have designed their fork frame in a way so that their notches only line up with their tools but I could be wrong. Hope this helps!
@@BiffsEquipment thank you! I really like the flexibility of Artillian's products. I think using the frame as a base for other attachments is genius! I also watched the video of your grapple. I'm not big on the design, though. If you pick up a smaller log it flops around in the jaws. I thought a solution would be a strong bungee cord from where the hing is to the tip of the grapple. That way when it closes, it tightens on smaller objects, but still flexible enough to handle a full grapple. I appreciate you reaching back out to me! I'm sure I'm going to be ordering some of this stuff soon!!
Tim the Artillian stuff is pushed a lot on youtube, I fell for it, It's "ok". If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't. I think if you have a PIN ON bucket, it's a genius system and prob the only way to go. However, If you have SSQA you are paying for "quick attach system" on your quick attach. The frame is heavy, and the thing is $800. Their grapple is not productive with single jaw. However, it is very effective with double jaw. The box style design is awesome. Its hose plumbing is not as clean as other ones on the market, and it's very heavy, 300 pounds with double lid. It is crazy expensive. The stump bucket is great though, its dimensions are ideal for smaller loaders. I permanently mounted the grapple to the artillan frame, and welded the stump bucket onto a blank SSQA plate. Besides picking up brush, I have put netting in the grapple and used it to pick up leaf piles too. The box style design is good for brush and log piles, but it can also be hand loaded, which a clam style grapple that lacks horizontal lower tines cant really. I love, and hate the system! lol
@@ATR-42 thanks for the input! I am definitely going to get a stump bucket and pallets forks soon because we are building a new house next year and I think I'll need them. The grapple is a big dream at this point. I appreciate your comment! Thank you
Need a grill guard of some sort- cheap insurance, looked like You got real close to smashing the plastic front couple times.
What fork frame is there, where did you get it? Thanks in advance!
It’s an Artillian fork frame, thanks for watching!
Don't you think a longer stump bucket would be better? I know it would reduce your curling force, but it would be ok in sandy soil. Do you think it would be good for them to offer a short and long version. And, If you had a choice, would you rather have a backhoe?
Hi John, great questions! As for the length of the bucket, the length of this bucket I feel is perfect for a sub compact tractor.. even in sandy soil if hitting roots you may need to have a lot of leaverage to dig through them so the shorter size really helps give these little tractors the power/force they need.. if they soil was really soft/sandy and you knew there wasn’t many rocks or roots at all then you could certainly go with a slightly longer bucket but I wouldn’t go much longer than say another 8”-10” at the very most.. now If you had a compact or a utility tractor then I agree you could go longer and I do think it would be a great idea if artillian offered it in a few different sizes for those who have suoer soft soil or who are only using it for trenching or maybe for those who have larger tractors so I will def mention it to them 👍🏻 thanks for watching !
How much does the stump bucket cost
Are you using the 16" bucket or the 24" ? I just ordered the 24" for my 1025R
In this video I used the 18” bucket but I also have the 24” which is great for when you need to dig down deeper or for trenching.
If you watch the video where I install a gas line with my kubota bx I use the 24” bucket in that video and talk about it in detail in the intro
@@BiffsEquipment Thanks for the info. I really enjoy the videos and hope you have the free time to make more.
Year late ! I’m not sure if I’d “ do that “ to my bx ( front end lifting up while pushing ) could damage the lifter arms etc it’s simply not “ strong enough “ my l 39 back hoe no problem, had a 300 pound bucket made for it , close to 1/2 inch sides etc , plus the bx does not have enough stability to it even with wheel weight s etc worse thing , frame damage could happen , but they are little “ beasts “ ! And can do a lot ! Nice vid ! Best thing I added to it was a grapple ! Hey just get the dog next time to dig them up ! Lol 😅
Thanks Stephen! Haha yes next time I should have the dog dig em up! As for lifting the front wheels off the ground to dig, it’s not gonna damage the loader, it was built for this type of work, and Iv been digging this way with my machine since day 1 and have never harmed the loader and with all the ramming and hard digging Iv done with the wheels in the air putting all the pressure down on the loader and boom rams. I understand your thinking though 100% but I seriously wouldn’t worry about it. Each machine is built accordingly to the power and size.. sure the loader is smaller than most but so is the tractor.. and so is the power it can produce specially the tractive power.. the loading being built specifically to handle the machine behind it.. now if you had a 40hp tractor with the bx loader I would agree with you haha. It’s all size relative is what I’m saying.. and I have TONS of videos where I do this and beat the living crap out of it with the tractor bouncing against the boom arms and all. Lastly I’ll say it is quite a tippy machine from the factory, but if you get some 2” rear wheel spacers like I did and have the correct amount of rear ballast on it you won’t have any issues feeling tippy or insecure running it on slopes or in unique situations.. I have both on mine.. and have a total of 650lbs give or take on the 3-point with the hydraulic pressure cranked way above factory spec and Iv still yet to have any issues either with damaging the loader or with stability after getting enough rear ballast and adding the rear wheel spacers. Best of luck buddy and stay safe! Thanks for the comment!
Hello, heard good things about you and your channel from A Ritter Bit Will Do live last night. Thought I’d come by a subscribe. Man you got those stumps out great job! You get a chance come by the moneypit homestead have a great day, Donald
Thanks buddy, I will def stop by and check it out, Jon had a great live stream the other night, i usually never have time to do them but I was glad I was able to say hi for a bit.
That looks VERY hard on the tractor and putting a Lot of stress on a lot of components. Seems to me a Simple PTO stump Grinder would be far less stressful, quicker and easier for this job.
I’m not sure about it being quicker in a lot of cases but certainly less stressful on the machine that’s for sure.. but it also costs nearly 8-10x more money.. and if you only have a few smaller stumps to pull, and want to use the bucket for bushes, shrubs, plants, and to even dig trenches.. then the stump bucket is the only way to go.. if your buying this bucket only to do large stumps then you should prolly buy a stump grinder yes. I still plan on buying a stump grinder as well.. just havnt been able to afford one yet. All of the larger stumps are being saved for my soon to come stump grinder.. think I’m gonna go with the Baumalight. 👍🏻
Need them?
The add on side teeth? No they aren’t needed but they sure do make a big difference !
My tractor is to valuable to use to remove stumps.
I can understand that, they do cost a lot of money.. but I assure you they are built to work.. and built to last a lifetime.. so you might as well get your money out of it (that’s how I feel anyways) I’m not gonna spend 20k on a machine just so I can baby it.. I’m gonna use it to it’s full potential but I can understand those who don’t want to work it quite as hard and want to be more careful with it specially when buying one brand new. I purchased my tractor for a great price used so I don’t mind as much as others may. Thanks for watching!
@@BiffsEquipment I get it.
Your taking work away from Ritter.
Haha I’m sure Jon doesn’t mind, we all try to help one another and he’s still got plenty more artillian videos than I do! Thanks for watching Rick!
