the presenter has a great personal manner. confident. pleasent. reassuring knowledgeable. easy to listen to. calming

[@t26803]

you must be a woman no man would ever say that even if it's true.

[@VibeVideoProductionsBrownsburg]

Very good. Reminds me of Fred Rodgers.

[@MrIgottap]

⁠@@VibeVideoProductionsBrownsburgyou beat me to it. Was just listening to the audio without watching the actual video for a couple minutes and thought,”Wow! This guy sounds an awful lot like Mr. Rodgers.”

[@jlsmed]

On your Kubota the first control handle position (fast ) dump takes the oil coming out of the bottom of your tip cylinders and ADDS it to the oil going into the other end . This makes the cylinder move much faster but cylinder force is then (piston end diameter area minus rod end diameter area) so it won’t pick up the tractor. The “hidden function “ lets the cylinder rod end oil go directly back to the oil tank and the cylinder piston end gets full system pressure. (Slower but more force) The fast cylinder movement is called a regeneration circuit if anyone wants to better understand it.

[@kellygb9278]

I have the 2023 JD1025R, when I was using my grappler to clear my woods, I kept running into this 'Hidden' feature of my loader. Until I watched your clip, I wasn't even aware of what was happening to my loader. I thought it was a flaw in my hydraulics. Heaven knows the Little guy is underpowered in trying to do two functions at once! So I really was flummoxed at how to get the grappler to lift & curl without having to wait for it to finish a very slow movement then activate the second movement

[@donmccollough4254]

I’ve been on these tractors for years, and it amazes me at how many tricks you can still learn. Thanks for the great video

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Thanks very much!

[@steliandone4078]

I like the tractor a lot. I need it to load up my bee hives and other stuff. How much can be used one? Or use?

[@AD-hr4is]

Now why is it that HG tv or DIY tv doesn't have a series of compact or sub compact tractor show. You have the talent to do such a show. Your voice is pleasant. You make a good host.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Thank you for your very kind comments. Much appreciated! -Ed

[@skycop3855]

All machines need to have laminated pre-trip check list and add in the hidden in plain sight issues. Aircraft use those, good maintenance shops use them. Helps avoid costly mistakes and one learns more about your machine, I love your videos. Thank you so much for teaching us all you do.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Thank you. I appreciate your comments! -Ed

I’m a Kioti guy…gotta check that. My third function for my grapple is live all the time. Great stuff Ed!! Keep it coming!!

[@hobbithabits2806]

Thanks Ed. I had not ran across that explanation in my seemingly endless viewing of these videos as I prepare to plant my seat in a new compact tractor. Very good to know. Best.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching. -Ed

[@zigzag8429]

Good Morning! Great video! I have had my B2601 for over a year and never knew about that part of the FEL function. Had other tractors in the past that might of had same and never knew. Folks like me, retired and to impatient to read the manual thoroughly, appreciate folks like you that do. Keep up the good work.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Thanks very much. Glad to have helped. Much appreciated.

[@ottostasi8226]

I've owned my kubota L 3400 for over 5 years and was unaware of this . Thank you for the video

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Hi Otto. It's not standard on all tractors but I hope it works for you! Thank you. -Ed

[@ericwalters3426]

I could backgrade with the bucket like that for days. Yah theres a lot more power in low gear when using the bucket. Our Kubota is about 15 years old, but what a precious little machine.

[@rp1645]

Thank you for showing the details of the other function. YES people will miss that going through the operator manual. Great demonstration of function in the dirt. Actually showing what the front bucket does.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Thank you for your kind comment, Jason.

[@theonerealgreenman]

He does sound like him. It's nice flash back to the good old days

[@theeasternfront6436]

The best use of this function is to set the heel of the bucket on the ground, then roll the toe/blade down, this will level the bucket, then use the float function to clean the ground off going forward without digging.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Absolutely! Thanks much!

[@dmaifred]

Was hoping that might be an option. Dealer always insisted it was self levi g but then this was i reference to the bucket high in the air to stop dumping the load on the driver. I always hoped the bucket could self level on the ground for flattering skimming like a skid steer. Maybe im actually in luck.

[@BlueRidgeGuy]

Great find, it'll come in very handy while doing maintenance, using jackstands for safety of course.

[@captainkepcon8194]

Okay you definitely get a thumbs up on this one. I've had my Kubota BX23 for 17 years now and had no idea it did that. I didn't even see it in the manual.

[@kagnewmp12]

I'm glad I found this cause I tried to raise my tires off the ground with the bucket flat to no avail but thanks to you I figured it out. I wanted to mention something else about our BX tractors and it's about attaching a BXxpanded Under Armor skid plate. I don't have a mower deck on my 1880 so when I attempted to lower my mounting arms they simply would not drop down and I tried over and over. The solution came from watching an old video and what the guy had to do was just grab the arms and pull them down. It just didn't have enough weight to drop by themselves. A simple solution to a simple problem.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Sometimes the answer is hidden in plain sight! Thanks for watching. -Ed

[@walterhyder3059]

I had noticed this on my tractor and never knew the reason nor what caused it. Great video!

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Thanks 👍

[@realstihl2105]

I ran compact tractors for years and never new that pretty cool. Thanks

[@pattriat4701]

NOW I understand why my dump position is sooo slow!! Thanks (from a newbie) for the KISS!

[@randthompson5716]

I use it as you've shown for an approximate bucket level indicator. Fine tuning sometimes required. (4in1 combination bucket. For dozer blade pitch but mainly pinch pulling brush, roots, picking rocks, trees or whatever primary adjustment). Great channel! Great content! Keep it up. 👍

[@MyClutteredGarage]

[@larslarson6500]

Very nice presentation.. Never my main job, but spent a lot of years in the fertilizer business. Front end loaders were used many hours to move the fertilizers from the bins to the mixer. This "hidden function" wasn't on any of our loaders to my knowledge. I can see it would make the job easier to have the proper angle on the lower part of the bucket so you get a full bucket each time. The key is to have the bottom of the bucket as close to parallel the floor (ground) as possible for maximum efficiency.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Thanks very much.

Great tip. My 480 John Deere compact tractor has that feature as well. Another cool use for this is lifting the front end to work on front tires and or spindles.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Good to know, Fred. I've wondered if that's a universal function, or Kubota specific.

[@vickysews]

Thank you so much for this tutorial, and for a clear and to-the-point demonstration and commentary. I knew my tractor had that ability to lock the bucket, but I was told it was for "parking" it. I have been doing the levelling the "hard way" for several years by manually adjusting the height of the loader. I can't wait to try this "hidden" function on spreading some mulch!

[@shoestringeng6473]

Nice Vajayo! Not sure if I ever would have found that future on my own. I probably use my L4200 less than 50 hours a year so this was very helpful!!!!!

Very good information Ed. Another thing that I have noticed is how smooth the Kubota loader valve operates. If you get the chance to ever run other brands that friends or neighbors own, you will see very quickly what I am talking about.

[@craigdreisbach5956]

Just discovered your channel today and subscribed. What I learned from Good Works Tractor is that 75% of the grapples he has sold in the last year is the the Brush Crusher by Westendorf. The power beyond kit was no longer available for my JD 1070 (1990) and so adding the 3rd function would cost an additional $1,000 to the cost of a usual grapple. The Brush Crusher doesn't require any other hydraulics other than raise/lower/curl/dump. I was skeptical at first, but the KZbin videos were convincing. I purchased one in April and it's fantastic. I am not affiliated with Westendorf or Good Works Tractor. Keep up the great work. Kind Regards, Craig

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Hi Craig. I appreciate your comments. I've seen a few videos with the Brush Crusher but honestly haven't given it that much attention. I guess it works like a manual "thumb" on a backhoe? I've been chatting with Good Works about joining one of my livestreams. Hoping we can coordinate it by the end of summer or fall, so stay tuned! Thank you. -Ed

[@craigdreisbach5956]

@@MyClutteredGarage Actually it duplicates the thumb by using the stock mechanical arms of the loader such that it changes the crushing pressure depending on the curl position of the bucket. It's kind of a "gee whiz" thing, like "how did they think of that". As you lift the bucket and "curl" it in, the mechanical arms cause the upper and lower jaws to encircle the brush, limbs or branches. It kind of baffles my mind on who could think of it. It's available in black, kubota orange and john deere green. So ultimately, you're only using your normal bucket controls, but it acts like you have a thumb or third function. It saved me the hassle of playing with the hydraulic hoses and a diverter valve, and also the additional expense. I really enjoy your channel and feel we're like minded in our approach to things. I live in Vermont on 128 wooded acres and uneven landscape so cutting up downed trees and using a grapple has been lifesaving for my back, etc. Kind regards, Craig

Yeah my father-in-law always had 60 to 70s 50 maybe two wheel drive and loaders it was always nice to have a lot of power in the bucket because you got stuck a lot now it's not so much necessary but it is nice to have some power in the bucket

I bought a new B2601 a couple of months ago mainly to mow the yard using a 3 point finish mower. I had them take the loader off since I already have a large Case and a John Deere with loaders. The Kubota guy said that was the first one he ever sold without a loader.

[@jamescumbo1928]

I have a Legrand L 3450 and I have a frame mounted fron blade for smoothing dirt and plowing snow. I couldn't get it to angle to the right and that's when I found out about the detent valve. Now that I know about it I can swing my blade from side to side easily. I love my tractor and I love my blade as I can manipulate snow right where I want it. Then with 2 pins ilock the tripping part and it turns it into a solid blade for dirt. I can actually get the pot holes out of my driveway when I catch it early in the year. Otherwise my driveway gets so hard that with down pressure and front end off the ground I just scrap about 1/4 of an inch at a time. Box scraper won't break through but backhoe will. Lol.. thanks for the tip. I had to have a service call to find it out.

Question? Did you compared yours with the BX23s, prior to buy it? I'm on the fence, between both models. I can't have a too heavy tractor, my ground is very soft, specialy during rain season, but I hate the ground clearance and FL lifting capacity on the BX23s. I never seen both models side by side , with Backhoe,Loader & Belly mower, to compare sizes. Price is crazy too on the B2601. Apreciate your imput.

[@MrTks1959]

I've known about the intermediate position on the dump function, but I never thought about using it with the bucket on the ground the way you described it. I always just thought about it as Fast Dump and Slow Dump. Because all the hydraulic functions on the loader use the same pump (I would have to go back to the manual to confirm that), you should be able to slow the grapple by combining the action with other loader functions.

[@danielchambers1958]

I had seen that function in my manual, but did not see a need for it. Thanks!

I'm not sure what the purpose of the hidden dump feature is, but it's good to know. My brother has a Kubota B2650 HST so I'll be sure to let him know about that. His backhoe attachment has very little power though and stalls the engine if he tries to dig or pull out shrubs. Maybe there's a "hidden" lever somewhere that will make it dig like a CAT 352F. BTW, your video was really well put together and I'm sure helped a lot of people new to small tractors. Kudos!

[@Ai2Products]

Great video, I guess I didn't catch your name. This is a features that is actually on the BX as well, but like yourself and the vast majority of people it get overlooked. I found it on the BX I had by accident. So I think this is sort of a float with light pressure but to get full pressure you have to go all the way. I now have the same machine you have here the B2601 with the backhoe and truly love the machine. I makes the BX feel like a toy I hate to say. BUt it is an amazing machine and just does things so so little effort in comparison. But great video and I'll have to check out your other videos as well to see what you all have done with your machine. Thanks!! Tony!
