#29 Brush Hogging With The Kubota L2501 And Clearing Trails

[@DIYMyWay]

Hi Richie! Now THAT was a days work for sure! Well done! Looks like you have a lot of forest ferns. We have them too but not as thick as you seem to. Thanks for sharing!

[@HillsideAcres]

Thanks for stopping by Martin! what state are you located in? The ferns seem to grow heavy in our back acreage.

[@DIYMyWay]

@@HillsideAcres I live in Georgia.

Good job cutting backwards around your pond. Do you adjust the slip clutch on your cutter very often? Not sure which to buy; a shearbolt cutter or a slip clutch cutter. Im thinking the shearbolt would be less aggravation to deal with. Which do you reccomend? Thanks 11:13

[@HillsideAcres]

I’d go with slip clutch, don’t need to adjust it but after not using for a long period it is good to loosen it up and let it slip so that it does not end up seizing up

[@OrangeismyNewGreen]

Sounds like a major job for the M7060, luckily it will be covered under warranty 🤞🏻good luck 👍🏻, have a great weekend 🙋🏼‍♂️🙂

[@HillsideAcres]

The dealer seems to be pretty on top of things, i began dealing with a new kubota dealer this year and the customer service is much better that the previous one, thanks for watching!

[@HomeWithTheBuffingtons]

Oh and congratulations on 100 subscribers! I just hit it as well last weekend.

[@HillsideAcres]

Congratulations to you as well, were pretty new to this and doing out best it seems like it took forever to get the first 100 but hopefully continue to grow!

[@bamagym]

Where is this? Those beautiful ferns in the woods!!

[@lyndonhamby7432]

Nice tractor 👍

[@davidl.ogdenjr7043]

At 1:33, it looked like you have a yellow rotary tiller in the background. What model is that, how do you like it and is it a reverse or forward till drive? Thank you for your time and pointing out the low oil issue on the 2501 (other video). I need to go check my own.

[@HillsideAcres]

I think the yellow thing you see is the 8’ snow pusher, the tiller is orange, Howard brand dont know much about it I think 4 foot, out video #5 shows it being used.

[@boltactionshooter]

I have an M7060 with about 500 hours and it has been perfect. Really sounds like it is starving for fuel with filters lines or crud in tank to me, not injectors. I also have a L2501. I prefilter all my fuel before it goes in the tractors. Seems like I have read before about issues like yours and it was fuel in the tank and lines.

[@HillsideAcres]

I have my own fuel supply with filter as well... The first time that the tractor was doing this, i did a full service of the fuel system. I went as far as even draining the tank, change fuel filter, clean water seperator, blow fuel lines with compressed air. and made no change. It would only start to lose power after about 30 minutes on the disc mower once the engine gets hot. That is exactly what had been stated in the recall bulletin from kubota that my serial number had fallen into.

[@HomeWithTheBuffingtons]

Hopefully, your 7060 will be fixed ASAP! that brush hog was kicking booty! I need to get out and do mine. I haven't had my tractor out in 3 weeks cause of all the rain in North Texas.

[@HillsideAcres]

yeah wet ground can be a pain, here its either been non stop rain or two weeks without it lol i hope i get it back soon as well ill be busy with work for the next two weeks so its a good time if any for it to be down

[@EarlybirdFarmSC]

Do you like that treadle peddle on the Kubota? I ended up with a Kioti (They make the Bobcat tractor too) because of the dual peddles. Well, that was just one reason but I didn't know if I would like the treadle peddle that Kubotas have. That thing sure cuts good.

[@HillsideAcres]

I did not like the treadle pedal at first. I love the hydraulic shuttle on my m series. Wanted to stay with kubota because our local dealer is great. But after some use the pedal isnt as bad as it was to begin with.

[@EarlybirdFarmSC]

@@HillsideAcres I figured it would ok once you get used to it. I wanted a Kubota at first but the dealer never called me when the tractor came in. I called a few times then went elsewhere. My brother just bought a skid steer from them lol.

[@thegreatnorthwoodswithbb6513]

I find brush hogging very relaxing

[@HillsideAcres]

its very satisfying!

[@joemommone3619]

When & where you purchased pats quick hitch. Thanks

[@HillsideAcres]

Got it from northern tool, was a pretty good deal with the advantage membership ! Thanks

[@thegreatnorthwoodswithbb6513]

Someone else that is a big fan of the Pats quick hitch... I like mine

[@HillsideAcres]

Pats is the way go! works on everything!

[@lolxitsjohnnay]

Roughly how much did that tractor run you with the brush hog?

[@HillsideAcres]

$18,045 with loader for the tractor and 2,100 for the rotary cutter

[@khtractors]

I hate your having problems with the 7060. How many’s hours are on it? That’s a good heavy duty bush hog, its what I really wanted but couldn’t justify the cost for no more then I’ll use it. I hope they help you out on some equipment to use. Have a great day!

[@HillsideAcres]

We needed a new brush hog, one from a box store would have been 1300ish rated for 1 inch and just made out of light sheet metal, this one was 2000 rated for 2.5 i think with 60hp gear box, slip clutch, 10g deck and internal frame i know it will last much longer. The M only has just over 300 hours, but i have been having issues while in standard pto under a load since i bought it. Dealer i bought it from had been no help over the last year it was giving me problems. I bought the L from a new dealer who has been much better to deal with and was able to tell me its an injector issue just by the serial number.

[@khtractors]

@@HillsideAcres that’s great you found a good dealer to work with!

[@jdub229r]

I’m in the same boat, I’d like a BB60, only rough cut the road sides & a couple acres twice a year. Think I’ll rent a skid steer with cutter & really go to town, then just do a better job of staying on top of it. The SS would give me an opportunity to clean up some other areas a tractor can’t do - ditch banks & overhead.

[@HillsideAcres]

@@jdub229r Ive had very good luck with the brush bull, ive had it on the m7060 chopping up 3 inch material no problem. Im very happy with it and think for roadsides and some fields it will probably last forever! Thanks for watching!!

[@HeritageFarmsTexas]

New follower here. Great video. Getting it done. We have been doing a lot of land clearing videos as well.

[@HillsideAcres]

Hey thanks! subbed back will check out your content looking forward!

[@joemommone3619]

What's capacity lift with forks attachment

[@HillsideAcres]

Would depend on how much the forks weight, what you are lifting and how high you are lifting. The LA525 is designed to lift 1150lbs to full height but can lift more to lesser heights

[@tanker8825]

Good chances I built that mower

[@dirtchevy41]

How do you like the hydro trans on the 2501 getting ready to get one and I am torn on manual or the hydro for my first 2501. I am leaning towards hydro just because it’s easier and I’ll be doing a lot of loader work maintaining my pistol range and training area

[@HillsideAcres]

I would go hst on a 2501 hands down, especially for your application. We bought ours for barn chores, brush hogging, utility work. The manual in the l2501 isnt a dedicated shuttle and requires clutching to go between forward and reverse. Thanks for watching we have several more l2501 videos as well. feel free to go ahead with any questions

[@dirtchevy41]

Bush hog how is it pulling wise. I had 2 dealers tell me different things. One said use 4ft with hst and the other said 5ft would work. Like I said gonna be first tractor so sorry if ?s are a bit goofy. Package I am on the fence with is the l2501 4x4 with loader Bush hog Box Blade And later getting pallet forks and auger. These seem to be cheaper at a tractor supply. They a little pricey from kubota

[@HillsideAcres]

@@dirtchevy41 4 foot would be way too small for the l2501. 60 inch is perfect in my opinion. The woods brush bull i use is heavier than what the 2501 would be considored rated for but it does a fine job never had any issues. A slip clutch is a good option to have on a brush hog as well. All the videos on my channel brush hogging are with the L2501 and woods brush bull 60.30

[@dirtchevy41]

Thanks just subscribed to your channel. Appreciate the quick response. Hopefully they will have 1 come in next week.

[@HillsideAcres]

@@dirtchevy41 Appreciate that We are close to getting monetized and every sub counts! i had one on order for months then tried a different dealer and had it delivered in 4 days lol

[@starling61]

You got your mower wheel too high off the ground. Shouldn't wobble that. Need to lower it two holes.

[@HillsideAcres]

Thanks for watching !

[@davidharlow7320]

So he likes Husqvarna hats but seems to use Stihl saw. Am I crazy lol?

[@HillsideAcres]

A free hat is a free hat.

[@user-ku6ve1nn2j]

Flail mower is better for this job.

[@HillsideAcres]

Feel free to send one over !!
