[@PineyGroveHomestead]

Our Kubota KX71-3 excavator has become invaluable around the farm. Here's our one year review: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZDPn4ytfsygipo Products in our Amazon store used in this video (costs nothing extra to use these links!).

Dude you are light years ahead of me. I have a 6 ton and practicing daily clearing our acreage. Had my 4 yr old in there today so we mostly dug a hole just to fill it in.

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

Ours is only a 3 ton. here's more excavator videos we have made: kzbin.info/aero/PLG5yS75HLzo0v6LnCFxPlQOxbi6tlXdB0

Just posted a video to my KZbin channel of my 1 ton excavator paired up with a TMK150 tree sheer. Crazy how well it worked for clearing trees!

Man, y’all have all the cool toys!!! That looks like a lot of fun!

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

They are cool until they break down....😢 But yes, it's a very fun (and useful) machine that I look forward to using every weekend!! Take care. Brad&Deb

[@MattHeisey-p5t]

keep up the good content

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

Thanks for the comment. Here's our playlist with the excavator...we love this machine: kzbin.info/aero/PLG5yS75HLzo0v6LnCFxPlQOxbi6tlXdB0

Hey Brad & Deb! I wish I had enough land and land work to justify a mini-ex. That's a sweet machine. I can do all these tasks with my B2601 for sure but man that looks like fun! Nice work :)

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

Much more footage of "Precious" in action in the coming weeks. She has become a valuable tool for getting our property the way we want it. It was the machine we didn't know we needed until we got it! Take care. Brad&Deb

Thanks for stopping by! Brad&Deb

Mini-ex made short work of that -- looks like a prime spot for a big rattlesnake to hang out.

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

Lots more work for Precious to do!! Our neighbor has been there 20 years and he hasn't seen a diamondback rattler, but I did dispatch a pygmy rattler this fall along our driveway and a moccasin by a culvert. I've seen a diamondback up close in real life twice while walking....they are wicked animals. Gives me chills thinking about them. Take care Cliff! Brad&Deb

[@cliff5240]

@@PineyGroveHomestead Yeah the moccasins freak me out. Fortunately where I live in Indiana it is mostly gardener snakes, have to go to southern Indiana to find Timber rattlesnakes. Look forward to seeing future videos

[@te2stevens]

Does this mini ex require DEF

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

No, it's 24hp. No emissions. Here's our excavator playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PLG5yS75HLzo0v6LnCFxPlQOxbi6tlXdB0

[@greghercher2068]

You should drag that brush out and into an open area to burn instead of piling it in the treeline. Another thing you can do is to dig a big hole and bury it, use the extra soil elsewhere. But piling it up like that will create problems later on from my experience.

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

It will rot for awhlle until we buy a dump trailer to move it to where we can burn it. We got time. Thanks for watching.

[@greghercher2068]

@@PineyGroveHomestead yeah a dump trailer makes all the difference. I'm renting a machine just like yours this weekend, which is how I found your videos, and I'm getting a dump trailer along with it to move tons of dirt.

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

@@greghercher2068 It's a pretty capable machine and can be towed with a 1/2 ton pickup at 6300#. We have a playlist of our excavator work if you would like to see more of what it can do: kzbin.info/aero/PLG5yS75HLzo0v6LnCFxPlQOxbi6tlXdB0

[@greghercher2068]

@@PineyGroveHomestead I watched a bunch of your videos using the excavator, I appreciate the content giving me confidence in what I can and can't do with equipment. We moved around 250,000 lbs of dirt over the weekend from my neighbors field to my lot to level and create a better water shed. I'm planning on buying a tractor this year, debating on a 1025r or SA324, any opinions?

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

@@greghercher2068 I think there are 2 brands of tractors to buy...John Deere and Kubota. That doesn't mean other brands won't work or get the job done. But JD and Kubota have quality products that last and a dealer network to back them up. Look up Rockhill Farms on YT...he just did a video on all the different brands of tractors. Brock has a 2038 and that is a small frame tractor, but he gets a lot done with it. To me, the best non-emissions tractor is the Kubota L2501 with hydro transmission. But for your two choices, I would go JD over Yanmar.
