Box blade, one of my favorite toys! 😆 thanks great video and soundtrack!

[@MJADoingStuff]

I just got it. 👍 How do you like the spring clips that hold the ripper shanks?

[@180Floridalife]

@@MJADoingStuff I hate those clips there has to be a better solution to hold the rippers. One jumped out and in to the snow, took 20 minutes to find it!

[@MJADoingStuff]

@@180Floridalife I am in Minnesota and I can only imagine what it would be like looking for it in the cold 🥶

You guys crack me up. Always enjoy watching your channel.

Glad you like watching the videos. We are having fun making them. Enjoy the rest of your day ☀️😁👍and thank you for leaving a comment.

I really enjoyed this video love watching dirt being moved and that trail turned out very nice

[@MJADoingStuff]

Thanks 👍 like a lot of our video it was the first time doing something like this with the B2601😁 we like to jump in the deep end and learn by “Doing Stuff”😂 Happy Friday 👨‍🏭🚜💨💡

[@MowersFamilyFarm]

That kubota is always so clean! Even at the end of the video!

[@MowersFamilyFarm]

Cleaning the kubota would make a good video ;)

[@MJADoingStuff]

@@MowersFamilyFarm That would but it would be a 20 minute video🤣 because right after you have to grease everything again☀️☀️☀️

[@cascaderetriever7618]

Great video! Would love to see a video comparing a box blade without hydraulic links and with. To highlight the benefits.

[@MJADoingStuff]

Thanks 👍 It is on the list hopefully will make a video on the difference between the two this summer. Basically the main difference is one can be adjusted on the fly. Thanks for checking out the video😁👍🚜💨💡

[@watershedoverlook]

Nice job Mitch. At first I was like..."Yeah, that's not gonna' work" but you showed me!👍👍 I'll have a box blade video coming soon, but you showed the key reason I cancelled my Land Pride order and went another direction!

[@MJADoingStuff]

I was not sure if I could do it but I had a plan and for once it went the right way except for the PITA land pride shank clips🤣 I love it when a plan comes together. ☀️😁👍have a great weekend Chris

[@ionhavoc2]

Not sure if you've really tested the limits of your loader yet, but I've used mine to pick about 8 rocks all that size at the same time, tractor barely broke a sweat. These things are amazing work savers.

[@MJADoingStuff]

The heaviest thing I picked up was the wood chipper in it’s shipping crate and that was around 825 pounds that seems to be close to the limit for me. Your right the B2601 is amazing for its size☀️😁👍

[@SetitesTechAdventures]

I need to do this. There is sort of a path to my pond but it's pretty ankle breaking. Just got a box blade so I need to work on cutting an easier to walk trail.

[@MJADoingStuff]

Sweet 😁 It’s always fun using the box blade on the trails. Thanks for checking out the video 😁👍🚜💨🍳

[@HuserHelpers]

Nice job guys, looks great take care, Jason

[@MJADoingStuff]

Thanks Jason we had fun getting it done ☀️😁👍

[@MowersFamilyFarm]

No better way to start a friday off than watching mitch play with his toys! I mean tools ;) great job guys.

[@MJADoingStuff]

Thanks Pete it’s all about having the right toy 🤣 for the job☀️😁👍

[@georgea6403]

Yes. The hydraulic top and tilt would be best. But in the mean time I got the Massey Ferguson leveling box it has a hand crank to raise and lower. Much easier till I get hydraulics installed

[@MJADoingStuff]

I went with Summit Hydraulic. But still have not done the tilt yet just the top for now. Thanks for watching 😁👍🚜💨☀️

[@OrangeismyNewGreen]

Another fun project 👍🏻, seems like a pretty big property. My buddy has the Frontier Box blade and it’s much easier to lower those shanks. I don’t know why LandPride is like that 🤷🏼‍♂️. Have a great weekend Mitch & Jamie 🙋🏼‍♂️☀️👍🏻🙂

[@MJADoingStuff]

Thanks Luc👍 looks like they sell a spacer pen to replace that spring-loaded clip I’m gonna try to make me some because they’re like six dollars a pieces another thing make sure your foot is not underneath when you drop those shakes🤣👍 have a great weekend🙋🏻‍♂️

[@peacefieldfarm_mn]

Thanks for taking us along, Mitch! Of your 3 toys (I mean tools) which was the most useful for this project? Stump bucket, box blade or regular bucket? Cheers!!

[@MJADoingStuff]

Although each one had a part in getting it done the Box blade was the most useful. I have a problem using all my toys - tools to do stuff. When I get done it takes more time to put everything away 😂 have a great weekend Mike ☀️😁👍

[@madtater5948]

if I own that tractor I would get some ballast weights for the back wheels and if you haven't filled the tires with water I would do that too

[@MJADoingStuff]

Yep 👍 more ballast would be nice but I also use it for mowing my lawn at home so unfortunately it is what it is. The tractor can do a lot more if the rear wheels were filled. Thanks for checking out the video 😁👍have a good weekend!!!

[@tractortalkwithgary1271]

Towards the end, we get to see the slope of your land a bit better.

[@MJADoingStuff]

I would definitely not try to drive sideways on the slope without cutting into the hill first. I got another video coming where I use the stump bucket to transplant some trees it is a very useful attachment and sometime this summer I will be putting in a couple of zones of sprinklers have a good weekend☀️😁👍

[@asdfjklasdfjkl1988]

interesting. does this kubota have a 6 way tilt bucket/tub? Or does the front bucket tilt up and down on the left and right? I need to cut a cross slope trail (take down the left side and put it on teh right), but that's 80% of my trail. I saw someone use a dozer and tilt the bucket to both plow the high side and then push it to the low side in kind of one motion. Much faster than this stump bucket - but that was a big dozer -too expensive and cumbersome for my trail compared to this same kubota i can rent in my area very reasonably....

[@MJADoingStuff]

@@asdfjklasdfjkl1988 No just 4 hoses that has left for curl back, right for dumb, and back for lifting up forward for boom down. You can blend 2 functions in between hope that helps. You might get away with a snowplow blade attachment push to one side but use a tiller to loosen the soil first.Thanks for watching.😁👍🚜💨☀️

[@terryk3118]

What is the purpose of the wood chips do on your trail?

[@MJADoingStuff]

Keep the weeds down and the trails are not as muddy when it rains. Hope that makes sense 😁👍🚜💨🍳

[@georgea6403]

Get Permethrin spray for your clothes to kill them tick vermin’s. Sawyer brand I use. It’s awesome. Lasts on clothes for 6 washing

[@MJADoingStuff]

Thanks for the info on the Permethrin. I have been waiting to go to the property till August September to avoid the tick season. They seem to not be around after the July heat. 😁👍🚜💨☀️

[@petep7227]

Permethrin. Stuff is like magic for ticks.

[@MJADoingStuff]

Sweet!!!😁Thanks I was looking at that stuff. I was worried about the dogs rubbing on my clothes so I have not used it yet. Thanks for the advice Have a great week 😁👍🚜💨🍳

[@petep7227]

@@MJADoingStuff need to let it dry but it’s supposed to be completely safe for skin contact after it dries. It’s been used for decades.

[@tractortalkwithgary1271]

As the saying goes, "The difference between men and boys is the price of their toys". It is disappointing to try and show how steep a slope is on camera. We vacation in the mountains in Colorado and take tons of pictures and videos, but it just doesn't capture the depth. As I was watching this video, I was thinking that you are sure getting your moneys with out of your stump bucket. You use it a lot. Seems to have proven itself to be a really good investment for you.

[@MJADoingStuff]

I thought that I replied to your comment but it was not showing that I did🤔 I do use the stump bucket a lot and the hill was to steep to drive with a load on. All good now 👍 thanks for checking out the video Gary ☀️😁👍

[@oztexs1440]

would a skid steer makes this process easier ?

[@MJADoingStuff]

Oh yeah it would 😁 but I don’t have one. Thanks for checking out the video 😁👍🚜💨🍳

[@brianzchuk]

What size of box blade and bucket do have? I got talked into a 60" bucket on mine but I'm thinking 54" would be better for digging.

[@MJADoingStuff]

60” inch bucket 54” inch box blade. It snows were we live that is why I went with the 60” inch bucket. It seems to work good. The tractor is strong enough to lift a full bucket of base rock. I am happy with it 😁👍

[@brianzchuk]

@@MJADoingStuff Awesome, thanks. I have a 60" HLA 1500 snow pusher for the winter.

[@MJADoingStuff]

@@brianzchuk That’s awesome does it have the back drag set up?

[@brianzchuk]

@@MJADoingStuff No but I'll be getting one eventually.

[@bobmccarey2895]

vise grip to pull the pins on box blade. a Loy easier

[@MJADoingStuff]

Thanks👍 I fixed it permanently with new pins😁 thanks for checking out the video 😁👍🚜💨💡

[@herbcaldwell943]

Mitch, what size is your trailer ?

[@MJADoingStuff]

20' ft long 18' ft plus 2' ft dove tail best feature is ramps come straight out the back😁👍

[@graysondaniels8347]

For future reference use the bucket because it would have gone by a lot gaster

[@raincoast9010]

Make your path 1 and a half times as wide as your tractor.

[@MJADoingStuff]

Ok funny I was wondering about that thanks for your help and advice have a great weekend☀️😁👍

[@raincoast9010]

@@MJADoingStuff Safer for the tractor and you can drive down there with a full sized truck too.
