I always feel much smarter after both watching and listening to Brad from Piney Grove! Thanks for sharing and great content!

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

Thanks. It was much easier that I thought. Moving the camera was the hardest part!

[@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead]

Huge difference! Well worth the time to adjust. Nice work!

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

Thanks bro! Now it can lift as much as your BX!

[@markziegler3551]

get some fluid in your tires. Either Rimguard or RV Antifreeze which is what I used. Makes a huge difference and I did not see any negative effects from it with regards to ruts in the soil and I use mine with a mid mount mower to mow my yard.

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

Rear tires are filled with Rim Guard. See video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4LQpoGsmLOmhbc

[@georgewindsor4182]

Another informative video Brad Just be careful out there Things can turn ugly real quick been operating tractors dump trucks and such for years God Bless

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

Very true. I don't like lifting heavy things.....I get them on the ground as soon as possible. Thanks for watching!

This is powerful Innovation

[@zeebeefpv2273]

Just bought one through your affiliate link, came across your video this morning althugh I have seen vids of this mod before, your video convinced me plus I like this kit has a gauge with it, which I also need- AND I am doing some big stumps right now! Fortunately I have a KX040 to help out!

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

I like that it's plug and play! We have a KX71....Kubota minis are great machines!

[@zeebeefpv2273]

@@PineyGroveHomestead is that a kx71 7ton from the same era? Replaced now by the kx080? Dang that aint a mini anymore!! Hehe- happy day, thanks for the Psalms in your video too!

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

@@zeebeefpv2273 Oh no....it's a 6300# machine! Deb on it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJWmgKiCpZuhopI

Glad you enjoy. thanks for watching!

[@davidwagner6181]

For those who up the hyd. Pressure make sure your hyd. Hoses are in good shape.

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

You will find out quick if they are weak!

[@wildbill23c]

Also make sure your tractor is no longer under warranty, probably would cause some warranty issues with the hydraulic system if something hydraulic related failed.

[@450rhino1]

Very informative. TKS.

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

Thanks for watching!

[@jimbecker5675]

I did the shim thing on my little BX22 a couple of years ago when I was going to be moving about 60 ton of stone plus a bout 20 more ton of soil for the site prep for my shop building. It absolutely made a difference.

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

I'm noticing a big difference! Thanks for watching.

[@tireballastserviceofflorid7771]

Ballast definitely effects how much can be lifted. And how safely. Got a new service truck ready to roll if ya need it.

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

What I meant to say was if it ain't lifting the rear tires off the ground, then adding ballast won't help it lift more!! This is the one you put Rim Guard in....it shouldn't need anything!

[@Jtwizzle]

​@PineyGroveHomestead Maybe on the kubota, but the 2515 needs filled tires and 800+lbs of 3pt ballast to stay planted. For its size its incredible.

[@tireballastserviceofflorid7771]

@Jtwizzle The little deeres are incredibly light. Rim Guard is 30% heavier than water so it helps to get more weight exactly where it's needed. This particular tractor has Rim Guard in it, and it's almost to factory recommended ballast weight on the rear. The new trend is bigger frames on the lower power tractor. It really helps make them safer.

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

@@Jtwizzle true, the XX15 old Branson line (TYM) lifts 2200# and that's way more what the Kubota L-series can lift.

[@Jtwizzle]

@@tireballastserviceofflorid7771 filled tires are great but nothing beats 3 pt ballast. It creates a pivot at the rear axle to help relieve weight on the front axle.

[@chefevielee]

So i'm just starting to get into farming. This is great info. Here is my question are all tractors computerized nowadays. I do not want any tractor that is run by any kind of computer equipment. What tractor can I buy other than an antique?Is there a new one on the market? Like I'll tell you.I have a twenty twenty honda Fit and they just sent updates to my car period once they did that my car started acting wacky in the computer department. I don't want that in my tractor

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

For the most part, compact tractors are not computerized like the new Ag sized tractors. Sure, they have sensors and switches that can go bad, but they are pretty reliable. The biggest thing is emissions compliance that started on all tractors larger than 25hp in 2014. They have complicated emission systems that have more points of failure. So if you want to avoid that, buy a 25hp tractor or smaller....or buy something pre-2014. You may find some useful information in this video we did: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYSmaIdsebSHmdU

[@danbelden7354]

Great video, do they make a jailbreak kit for John Deere tractors

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

I'm not sure how JD increases their pressure....I've never owned one. Thanks for watching.

[@chadbinette3201]

I got a L3940 and have to say for the physical size of the tractor I'm pretty disappointed in the lift capacity. 724 loader so x2.2 is about 1600lbs where the new 60 series that size has a 1075 loader now or something so they have addressed it a bit. And I have filled rear tires and a 800lb + weight I made so it's planted just doesn't have the lift a tractor that size should. And I get it Kubota and Deere and other companies do it so homeowners with little to no experience don't try lifting something they have no business lifting with a sub compact or compact tractor. This shim kit looks quite simple but for some reason I'm more hesitant on messing with my tractor than my vehicles haha I do the maintenance on my tractor and all the fluids and filters but I'm always worried I'm gonna mess something up where as vehicles I been changing oil , brakes and much more for years .

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

My pressure was not even at specs when I checked it and now it's about 10% above and I have much more lift. Many people will go 25% above but that's a personal decision. I think Kubotas are built heavy enough to have the most lift in the industry but they keep it low for liability reasons.....just my opinion!

[@originalmicdrop]

Thats why TYM puts bigger front axles on their tractors.

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

I don't think that's correct. Here's the TYM 2515: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6HVeql9hpWofKM

[@kevindiesenroth4134]

Good morning if you're going to do that to your tractor then you need to do the following saying you need to buy or make a three point hitch weight block for the back of that you can find videos on KZbin about them you need to get a counter weight on the back of the tractor or someday you're gonna pick something up and really regret it I hope you take this seriously have a wonderful day

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

That is correct!

[@km4fsi827]

My L2501dt has ballast in the rear tires and i have a 5 foot grader box on the back, bucket and tooth bar on the loader and it will easily lift the back tires. I was gonna do this mod to my tractor also, but its not needed at all with mine. i have never understanded why kubota verys so much from one unit to another.

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

If it lifts what you need it to, then you're good! I needed this tractor to at least lift the basic specs!

[@kathrynbraun2073]

Who’s this, “Shirley”?

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

She's my imaginary tractor helper!!

[@joepeppers1920]

I'm curious/wanting to play devil's advocate for a second.... sets just say my tractor can pick up the heaviest thing I'll ever need to pick up.... are there any other benefits to upping the pressure?

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

Nope. I'd leave it at factory settings!

[@Jtwizzle]

Always nice to have even more headroom. If you don't have enough/any rear ballast it's probably not worth it. More potential to damage the front axle that way.

[@brandenfindley5467]

Switch to TYM!!!

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

This tractor is paid for!!!

[@brandenfindley5467]

@@PineyGroveHomestead Come on now....Three youtube videos will pay for it!!!

[@timberray9572]

I wouldn't mess with the hydraulics, I have sat on a tractor when a line burst and it scared the shit out of me. And, get some ballast so you don't become a statistic.

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

You can certainly over do it! Thanks for watching.

[@richardniswander6090]

Add more shims ,what you did won't amount to a hill of beans.

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

It made a big difference.
