#58 L2501 KUBOTA Box Blade Landscape Rake LAND PRIDE Driveway Grading

[@MJADoingStuff]

Yeah after I got the Pat’s system my top link is only good for level or dig in. Looks like it turned out pretty good 👍 Have a great week 🚜💨💡😁👍

[@HillsideAcres]

Still anticipating your solution for that!

[@loganhurst992]

That little tank really moves material!

[@HillsideAcres]

Thanks for watching Logan!

Spent the morning doing same thing. I have the lp land plane. Works well

[@HillsideAcres]

land plane looks really nice, I think I may consider buying one or even fabbing one up in the future. I think it would be better once I get some less coarse material in there too! Thanks for watching Chris!

[@jdub229r]

@@HillsideAcres I couldn’t see paying over a grand for a land plane. I fabbed one up out of scrap 10” C-channel & angle iron. I’ll shoot you a couple pictures of my build on FBM. Simple welding project.

[@HillsideAcres]

@@jdub229r That is cool that you made your own. There really isnt much to them. Hopefully steel costs will come down soon to make projects like that a little more cost efficient!

[@googlinstuff8910]

Doing research. Every time I watch one of your vids, another thing is added to my "want list". That rake - badass!

[@HillsideAcres]

You would hate to see how long my want list is lol!

[@RCAFpolarexpress]

Good evening Sir, that great tractor video 👍😉 You have a great parking area 👍😉 Have a great week to both of you Cheers 👍🍻

[@HillsideAcres]

Thank you Dave! It is always pleasure to hear from you!

[@RCAFpolarexpress]

@@HillsideAcres 👍😊🍻

[@jamesharless5357]

Looks a lot better, nice job!👍🏻

[@roywall8169]

That rake worked well!

[@HillsideAcres]

Thanks Roy. Still need to add some more material. Hopefully once the new building is up and we expand the lot

[@crtcustoms6140]

You need another pole barn just for a garage. Too many toys 😅. I love my l2501 the land pride bb1266 I have for it it gets busy! I grade people’s new residential lots with it frequently. If I ever own another Kubota it will be a cab version though. Need A/C in Utah.

[@HillsideAcres]

I really wish I had some a/c sometimes. The new building will have 40x70 shop space with 16’ side walls! Thanks for watching.

[@medlinlandmaintenancellc]

Land Plane is the best in my opinion, 2 in 1 tool just saying!

[@HillsideAcres]

I’m sure they’re great, just not worth the purchase for this farm lot

[@medlinlandmaintenancellc]

@@HillsideAcres Understand!

[@sth9460]

Good job. You sound like Rocky Balboa talking.

[@HillsideAcres]

Thanks for watching !

[@tractortalkwithgary1271]

What you are calling a York rake, I have always heard called a gill rake here. I have a friend that has told me that I need to get one instead of the king drag that I use to drag the horse lot. Another good video Richie. See you for the next one.

[@HillsideAcres]

Thanks for watching Gary, York rake or landscape rake is how I know it, we have a 7’ arena vator harrow for the riding arena.

[@botabob]

I like the idea of removing every other tine on the landscape rake - The rake did a lot of work - I bought a rake for my tractor but did not like the results as it would move the stone to the sides - I like what I saw with your project using the rake - thanks for sharing - unfortunately you created another project for me - LOL - have a great day - cheers

[@HillsideAcres]

lol I’ve watched your videos and I know that you enjoy your tractor time! Thanks for watching Bob, it is always a pleasure having you stop by the Chanel and hearing from you !

[@stephenrhodesianridgeback7418]

I finally put the hydraulic top link on the tractor in the spring . Best thing I ever did . Never coming off the tractor . For grading with the blades and other implements it’s a game changer .👍 When using the box blade pushing backwards it is like a shock absorber on the tractor also. Like that big kubota 👍

[@HillsideAcres]

The hydraulic top link would be nice but I don’t have any remotes on the 2501! majority of what I use on the M series is carted equipment. Hydraulic side link would be really nice as well! Thanks for watching Stephen!

[@ProjectsWithPaul]

Good video Ritchie. I think that rake really did the trick. Looks awesome!

[@HillsideAcres]

Thanks for stopping by Paul, always a pleasure

[@aarondillon3880]

Nice job man. Must be awfully nice to have two Bota’s !!!!!

[@HillsideAcres]

Having two really comes in handy at times for sure! Three would be even better lol maybe next year. Thanks for watching

[@RickyVentures]

Hello from Minnesota. I have a Box play that I've never used. I have a couple of trails that could use leveling out.

[@HillsideAcres]

Give it a go! I know youre always up for a venture!

[@CountryLivingWithTheHarnishs]

we have a 72 inch box blade on our L2501 and it works great .You did a find job with the 66inch

[@HillsideAcres]

One of our clients actually gave this to us! Its a perfect match for the 2501! Appreciate you watching!

[@loggerjohn01]

That box blade did a good job on your driveway! Thanks for sharing

[@HillsideAcres]

Thanks for stopping by John!

[@khtractors]

The 2501 is the perfect driveway maintenance tractor! I like to push backwards for final dressing gravel with a box blade, it gives good finished results usually. A few more tons of gravel definitely would help you out it looks like! Take care!

[@HillsideAcres]

yeah it definitely needs some finer material in there but it’s a lot better than the mud pit that it was in the spring time. Thanks for watching Ben!

[@19553129]

Love Kubota's, they are tough tractors really durable and easy to operate.

[@HillsideAcres]

Fun too! Thanks for watching Jerry!

[@OrangeismyNewGreen]

Itks looking good Richie, definitely a longer toplink will help to get a better pitch so you can use the outside blade of the BB. Have a great one 🙂🙋🏼‍♂️👍🏻

[@HillsideAcres]

Still needs some more work and more material to get the lot right but a lot of things around here need work lol Thanks for watching Luc!

[@DFWrancher]

Another great one bud! I’m super impressed with the L2501. I mowed some stuff today with mine as tall as the tractor and it didn’t bog down once. Even ran over some mesquite trees, it ate them like candy. Continues to surprise me, my Ford 2600 with same mower bogs down more in the thick stuff. I really think they are more powerful than the specs say. I’ve got a 60 hp Ford 420 too but they all sit now that I use the kubota so much.

[@HillsideAcres]

Happy to hear that you enjoyed the video. Getting feedback like that really means a lot and is greatly appreciated. The 2501 has far exceeded my expectations I thought that it would have been very under powered but would have still fit our needs for a smaller tractor, I can’t believe how much use it gets !

[@HomeWithTheBuffingtons]

Looking good, Richie! Looking much better now! I have a little box blade experience now too. I need to get some rock for the backside entry of my shop. Just another project that costs money!

[@HillsideAcres]

Everything costs money lol Its just a matter of what you're going to spend it on lol. Im somewhat trying to be frugal lately with the new building going up and we are also going to most likely be building a small log home to live in on the back of the property but not completely decided on that yet. Thanks for stopping by Kyle.

[@humphreyhomestead]

Looks good!! Love both of your tractors! We have been spreading some millings too so we can relate to this! lol Thanks for sharing

[@HillsideAcres]

Ive been hoping to see some roads milled around here to get our hands on some! Thanks for watching !

[@MakingFitnessEasy]

Why not sell the l2501 when you have the much more capable M7060?

[@HillsideAcres]

Because the 2501 is very handy to have around! Sometimes too much tractor I’d a thing, the 2501 is perfect for barn chores and is very user friendly

[@MakingFitnessEasy]

Don’t say that too loud, this is blasphemous in the tractor community. “Bigger bigger better.”

[@HillsideAcres]

Lol also in all honesty, we got the 2501 for just barn chores and raking the arena but I find it has far exceeded my expectations and I use it regularly
