Kioti RX7320 Bush Hogging Illinois Farm. FIRST KIOTI MISSION!

Join me for the very FIRST MISSION with out new Kioti RX732 Utility tractor as I take out the 12 foot batwing bush hog mower and bush hog some trails and clover plots on our Southern Illinois farm. This day was pretty exciting to be sure, but make no mistake it was not all hunky dory, LOL!!! Had a few snags before I could even get started bush hogging with the New Kioti! But as usual, we keep things REAL here at Kapper Outdoors!

Love being able to see the front and back of the tractor when Bush hogging 👌

[@kapperoutdoors]

Thank you I appreciate it we do try to continually improve ourselves here. Have a good day

[@DLTJR1959]

Those quick hitches are a bugger to put on. I had one and didn't like it. Once you get them on they are OK if everything is standard. A lot of my older stuff was not. With what you have it is a good fit. After putting up with bugs, weeds, and heat, the cab is a blessing. I've notice around here most farmers are getting into cabbed units now. Thanks for the videos. I really appreciate them.

[@kapperoutdoors]

Thanks for the nice feedback, appreciate it. Yeah, none of the implements are 'standard' with so many manufacturers. The cab is amazing and lets you work out in nasty weather; cold, hot, windy, dusty, etc. Take care

[@marks6951]

I like them kioti tractors, Real Good Strong Machine.. It was my second choice to the 50 HP Mahindra I bought New... Thow I run mine like a excavator mostly, even Digging with loader, my tractor comes with a 72" bucket.. Light duty.. I bought a 60".. Skidsteer Heavy Duty Bucket, 450 lbs... With welded on teeth... Diggs like a Beast... Look forward to more Cool working Kioti video's...

[@kapperoutdoors]

I used to dig all the time with my tractors as well until I got a skid steer last year. They will do it, just takes a bit of touch, as I'm sure you know! They are a great all around machine! Thanks.

[@moneydog6317]

This is just a thought mower blades are made to be sharpen from the top side. You also should take them off and put them on a scale to make sure they're both equal so you don't have any vibration . Floppy disk grinder Wheels work great for sharpening them. Just a thought. Have you ever completed your Bridge that you're started with the railroad ties In between your two ponds ?

[@kapperoutdoors]

Yes somebody else mentioned it maybe from now on I'll just take off the top side a little bit. Don't think I need to weigh them quite yet at least until I feel something vibrating that seems a little off. Nope The Bridge Project is on hold but it's still on the list! Thanks have a good one

[@sandrarivera285]

Wow alot to get done.. But it will get done n time.. You'll b ok... 🤓🙏👍

[@clarkwheeler8764]

Nothing better than some TRACTOR POWER. Good to see some plot maintenance finally going on. Keep on Keeping on.

[@kapperoutdoors]

Thanks Clark always digging out of the hole LOL

[@Chalz108]

Running a Bush hog is probably the most relaxing thing.

[@kapperoutdoors]

No doubt. Satisfying to see the newly cut swath of grass and brush! Take care man

[@HuntingFarmerOfficial]

Looks like the yote is working good. Bush hogging with my batwing is seriously one of my favorite pastimes. Just something about it 👍

[@kapperoutdoors]

Thanks and I agree! Something about seeing that nice, freshly cut swath of grass or brush.... So satisfying!!

[@speardalmond5621]

Hope you like the RX. Great tractor and I really miss our RX7320.

[@kapperoutdoors]

It is a great tractor no doubt. Do you still have a Kioti?

[@speardalmond5621]

Kapper Outdoors We still own 3 Kioti Tractors 2 being DK6010SE and 1 CK3510SE. At one point we also owned a NX4010. All have been good tractors.

[@maraudermitchelli]

We all have these days, especially when we get older. Enjoy your tractor.

[@kapperoutdoors]

LOL thanks and you're right. Sometimes they get harder and harder to handle :-) thanks for the support you have a good day buddy

[@marcopomponi8482]

Kapper - You should check those black knobs and nuts on top of each loader arm- don’t ask how I know;) - if they vibrate loose the first time you lift the loader the c-channel will surprise you falling off suddenly. Nice job with the mower now, Back to work.

[@kapperoutdoors]

lol I took off the steel loader braces that they used to hold on, so all there is is the nut right now. Someone emailed me about that! Might have been you? Thanks either way!

[@JoeTheFarmer]

Joe; if that is your way of throwing a temper tantrum...I'll have what you're having. 😂 Loving that tractor!

[@kapperoutdoors]

LOL thanks! I try not to lose my cool, but every now and then..... :)

[@nightsong28540]

Very nice job...a lot of acreage to mow so having the right tools helps. Stay safe, take it easy, be careful and keep dry.

[@kapperoutdoors]

Thanks Sandra!

[@RJM1011]

LOVE it WELL DONE and thumbs UP. :)

[@kapperoutdoors]

Thank you! We always try to continually improve even though it gets a little harder and more time-consuming we like to try to take pride in our videos! Thanks have a great day

[@jth030966]

Good to see you using the bushwacker looks like it is still working good

[@kapperoutdoors]

Yes sir it definitely did the job I appreciate it have a good one

[@WeSRT4]

That is a really nice tractor! I wish I could afford something like that.

[@kapperoutdoors]

Thank you it sure is. Best of luck and hopefully I'll be able to make all the payments LOL

[@stedder8436]

That’s some good editing having both cameras at the same time. Good stuff kap.

[@kapperoutdoors]

Thanks man I appreciate it. Have a good day

[@KingsOutdoorLife]

Yeah I love that.....I want to try it now.

[@WeSRT4]

Kapper, grab yourself a cordless angle grinder in whatever brand that you are already invested in. They are pretty cheap and you can sharpen blades anywhere my friend.

[@kapperoutdoors]

I like that idea man I just bought a new set of Milwaukee cordless drill and impact cuz my other ones crapped out. I'll have to look for it next time I'm in the shop thanks

[@lynneperg6853]

My dad, bless his heart, used to say: "Everytime I think I'm going to get my head above water some darn fool adds water." Electricity is scary stuff. When I was taking ham radio classes the instructor always advised:: "keep one hand in your pocket, wear rubber soled shoes and you'll never have to worry about getting fried."

[@kapperoutdoors]

Good information and I'm hopeful it's going to be pretty simple. Thanks and have a good day

[@dehavenfamilyfarm]

Kioti did good!! I wish I had a mower that wide :)

[@kapperoutdoors]

Thanks bud yes it sure is nice having a 12-footer :-)

[@chrisrussell8903]

I own 2 Kioti tractors. Welcome to the pack. I have had a DK 55 for 16 years and a PX 9020 for 4 years. From that experience I advise you to keep a close eye on the loader mount bolts. Actually put a wrench on them now and then to make sure they are not broke off inside. The head will still be there but it's broke. I've had to weld the loaders on both machines. Take the loader off when ever possible.

[@kapperoutdoors]

I really don't ever take the loader off, but I'll take a look. What bolts are you referring to? Under the base of the loader attaching to the frame, or somewhere else. I thought the loader was pretty much all pins and keepers, but I will check it out thanks.

[@MiHeatingGuy]

You may want to look for a gfic plug is tripped in the garage that would take out a whole wall of plugs. one time i had a service call for a furnace not working and found the furnace didn't have power and traced it back to a gfic plug in a upstairs bathroom on the same circuit and the breaker was still on. Dose the kioti have pto cruise where you just hit a button and it goes to pto rpm. thanks for the video.

[@kapperoutdoors]

Yes sir I am hoping that you are correct! I told my wife about it and she reminded me there was a GFCI about halfway down the back wall and I did not realize that. Fingers crossed it just tripped in a rainstorm or lightning or something. Appreciate it have a good one

[@kapperoutdoors]

Actually yes it has PTO cruise I have not tried it yet thanks

[@MiHeatingGuy]

@@kapperoutdoors Did you find a GFIC plug

[@joshbeckett223]

Makes quick work of those plots

[@kapperoutdoors]

Yes and it was really good to see that they survive such bad weather last fall. Have a good day buddy

[@mikeholubek4419]

Kapper, Keep touching up the blades get the most out of them because they're $$. Also when U replace them change out the fasteners, access to the nuts are through a peep hole on the decks. Make sure U torque those nuts after. We would send them out for "Sharpening & Balancing" if there was no chunks out or cracks in them. Usually once a season.

[@kapperoutdoors]

Roger that I think this was only my first or second sharpening so I have a lot left to go! Thanks man

[@photocontrol]

Nice work with the new Kioti and batwing mower Joe! I wonder if you can trace the wiring in the pole barn's plug circuit by using a pen style contactless voltage detector. With the breaker on, follow the wire from the panel with the detector where the wiring is accessible or the plugs with it, the detector will light up/beep if the wire or plugs are energized, you'll pinpoint the bad connection whether it starts in the panel on the actual circuit breaker itself, chewed wire or one of the outlet boxes closer to the panel on that circuit.

[@kapperoutdoors]

Yes that's a good idea I think I have a power light or two laying around. I'm hoping it's a GFCI that I didn't realize we had in the middle of the back wall, my wife reminded me of that. Although with the issues we had with the first electrician you just wonder. Thanks

[@hartleyhomesteadmichigan6041]

Sorry to see your dump truck leaking. Your clover plot looks good!

[@kapperoutdoors]

Yes I'm very happy that the Clover plot survived a terrible drought last year. Not sure how the dump sprung another new leak from just sitting there for months. LOL

[@stevelindley191]

Nice job with all the different camera angles, I'm sure that took a minute to set up.

[@kapperoutdoors]

Thank you sir, and yes you are right it really detracts the productivity LOL but we try to improve our videos. Thanks

[@MiHeatingGuy]

I use 4" sand flap disc to sharped my blades for the brush hog and zero turn.

[@kapperoutdoors]

Hey whatever works this is what I use since it'a what I have. Thank you

[@NewHorizons2020]

It looks like that new tractor can handle about anything that you put it through.

[@kapperoutdoors]

I believe you are right, but I'll be testing it out for sure! Thank you

[@dustdevl1043]

Man I love bush hoggin'! It's even more fun watchin' you do it!

[@kapperoutdoors]

LOL thanks man, hey whatever works! I appreciate it have a good day

[@WhiskeyKing813]

If your going to get a new brush hog look at the Woods, they have a PTO support that makes it a lot easier to hook up.

[@kapperoutdoors]

I think Rhino makes a much heavier Duty one which is what I would want. Hopefully the hookup is a little easier but I get the impression that some just aren't easy to get latched up LOL thanks

[@mikeembrey9176]

Bad run of luck trying to get started mowing I would have lost my cool, happy Father's day

[@kapperoutdoors]

lol I was gettin close.. Man, getting that darn batwing attached was a mini nighmare. Thanks and have a good one!

[@nrosario]

Thank you for sharing. In terms of audio, my suggestion would be to try a noise canceling mic for your comments,, or maybe ad some voice at post editing. Definitely entertaining Kudos 👍

[@kapperoutdoors]

Yes I have a brand new recorder with a lapel mic specifically for that but I was hoping I can get away without it LOL just one more step you got to do with wire hanging around kind of a pain. Have a good day

[@nrosario]

@@kapperoutdoors Another thing I like about your channel, you pay attention to comments and criticism. 👍

[@Tritamer]

Love the video. I’m putting together my order for an RX7320 with cab. Would you be willing to share your options list? Thanks!! Going to pull the trigger this coming week in Oregon.

[@kapperoutdoors]

Best of luck it's a great tractor! And a very solid company I did a lot of research when I bought my NX model. Personally I add virtually almost every option available. I would definitely get the tires loaded with fluid, and I think the other things I added was just extra rear remotes for sure, rear wiper blade and rear view mirror. And just be sure one of the rear remotes has a detent in case you ever rent an implement or something like a log splitter where you can use it properly. Good luck

[@stevek4449]

Have you thought about getting the backhoe with subframe for your RX7320? Same one as 6620.

[@kapperoutdoors]

No I don't think I'll go that route since I have a mini excavator. Thanks

[@stevenpeters2593]

Mr. Kioti Kapper , I let you know that when I look up google map something bother me spot orange signal move around in southern Illinois! JUST/KIDDING BROTHER! 🤝🦌🤣👍🏻 Very nice machine quiet! Also maybe I think you need gasket transmission of leak ? Or something else have go under neat to look at it .

[@kapperoutdoors]

Thanks man but don't be spying on me LOL I don't know how it popped a brand new leak when it's been sitting 4 months and months and it worked fine when I parked it :-) oh well..

[@stevenpeters2593]

Kapper Outdoors maybe could be Tran line can be little drip 💧 few days who know . I’m not spy on you lol but bother me to move around like orange ladybug LOL ! Take care bro 🤝🦌🍺

[@CharlesLScofieldJr]

It seems to be a lot more noise inside the cab of the Kioti that what there was with the Branson. But it seems to handle the batwing mower pretty well.

[@kapperoutdoors]

No I'd say the Kioti is definitely quieter. The audio on those GoPro is not very good at all. Maybe someday I'll make a comparison side by side with the same camera and audio between the two units. Thanks

[@indianaboy4719]

Nice tractor, but I know you brought an orange one to be like CJ. But me and the Schickster like the green ones. LOL

[@kapperoutdoors]

Thanks man. I wish you wouldn't have spilled the beans though!! I look up to CJ and Schickster, and I actually wanted the Kubota but accidentally got the wrong orange one! LOL

[@kb7722]

AC vent must have been blowing on the camera. You'll get it figured out. 👍

[@kapperoutdoors]

Yeah that GoPro has crummy audio but I was hoping it would be good enough. Guess I'll have to go back to my lapel mic thanks

[@bobpaterson1845]

Tractor seems to be doin great 💪 only thing I'm not in favour of on a tractor bein used for bush hoggin etc is the exhaust bein underneath u get dry grass wrappin round it an before u know it u got a fire to deal with 🤔☹️ nice split screen video 👍👍

[@kapperoutdoors]

Great point! I'll keep an eye on it, but nothing so far from the first run. It is set up pretty high though and kind of tucked in.

[@southerndiesels]

do you miss the engine roar of the branson or prefer the quietness of this engine?

[@kapperoutdoors]

LOL I'm way past engine roaring I enjoy the more quiet ride :-)

[@russellrogers3260]

Nice tractor and mower set up. I like the batwing, but can't justify it for the amount I bush hog about 50 hrs a year and I already have ,a 6' brush hog on a 55hp Mahindra

[@kapperoutdoors]

Understand, thanks. Best of luck with the setup you have. If it works, it is a success for you!

[@darcywalls6206]

I know this is a horrible business plan Kap, but why not park the dump truck on the range and get the Creedmore out lol. Might be a huge stress reliever bud. On a serious note I’d leave the breakers off in the barn on the circuits that aren’t working until you can get it looked at, you know the old ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure👍

[@kapperoutdoors]

Man I would really love to do that I could really like that thing up! But since I'm not really rich and famous I'm going to have to get it fixed and at least sell it for what I can get out of it :-) thanks for the tip have a good one buddy

[@ooa9123]

Does that loader not detach it's much easier to mow with it off

[@kapperoutdoors]

I never take off the loader. I find it useful quite often in the woods. Thanks

[@usmarshall336]

That sound that you're hearing inside the cab squeaking.. that is the slow-moving vehicle sign. I'm getting the same noise and took it down I'm going to move it in a different place or get one thicker. so it doesn't make that sound.

[@kapperoutdoors]

Well I can definitely say that's not it because I already took it off LOL I had a lot of loose stuff flopping around in there that I need to fix more securely. Thanks

[@kapperoutdoors]

Actually after going back and reviewing the video the rattling is actually the GoPro Mount because it's vibrating pretty bad

[@garymeyer3294]

Is that a Kioti branded spinner knob on your steering wheel? I couldn't find one so I bought a Kubota one for my CK4010SE. I'll gladly get a Kioti one if they offer one.

[@kapperoutdoors]

LOL no, sure isn't ! Got if from a friend from the UK! Don't think Kioti makes one yet!!

[@moneydog6317]

You might want to shut the power off to that side of the pole barn until you get electrician or the main breaker

[@kapperoutdoors]

Yes if I can't identify it I'll probably will do that, good call thanks

[@briannovak1611]

Brand new tractor and the cab squeeks every time you hit a bump?? I wouldn't like that

[@kapperoutdoors]

It was a steering wheel squeak, and a shot of WD 40 cured it. Just nice and snug fit!

[@ricklarkins9200]

How do you focus on those side mirrors? LOL

[@kapperoutdoors]

Not sure LOL I tried to fold them so they were out of the way

[@nathanbrodeur]

Joe just bite the bullet and buy a dump trailer that you can haul your skid loader or excavator that you can keep outside on a battery maintainer it would free up space in your shop and be cheaper insurance than the dump truck less components to worry about a few thousand bucks for a transmission or few thousand bucks on a engine you could haul more material per load and less trips saving you fuel

[@kapperoutdoors]

That's a good idea we'll see what happens down the road. I have to get the darn thing fixed to sell it anyways. Thanks man

[@nathanbrodeur]

Kapper Outdoors no problem

[@jakeschisler7525]

I watch another channel called Mr. Nate, he is a license electrician who has a place in Chicago plus he bought a farm in Missouri where he completely redid all electricity. I believe since the pandemic is in Missouri. He runs all wire through conduit the right way. Maybe you could get him to see your mess. I've been so lucky here as far as hiring electricians plus they haven't charged out the wazoo. Every time I have to hook my box blade on I say new cuss words

[@kapperoutdoors]

LOL on the box blade I know sometimes it just goes on easy peasy and other times it's a nightmare! Hopefully the wiring thing is pretty simple thanks

[@FishFind3000]

Ditch the dump truck or bury it under ground like Tyler from hoodies garage did with his Chrysler Lebaron or his Range Rover. Might get some money from the ads.

[@kapperoutdoors]

I wish I could riddle it full of holes and bury it LOL but since I need whatever cash I can get out of it I'll probably sell it or trade it in for something. Might be a dump trailer though I'll definitely be looking around when the time comes thanks

[@seanbalch7563]

I think you’re sharpening the wrong side of the blade. Bottom flat and beveled edge is up.

[@kapperoutdoors]

Now I'm pretty sure it's correct if you saw how eaten up that one side was. My skid steer bush hog is the same way which I thought was weird also but maybe there's different blade designs? Thanks

[@CrimeVid]

Your electrical problems are probably as simple as a loose connection. you should not have any problem with that !

[@kapperoutdoors]

Yes you are probably correct. Although the wife reminded me there was a GFCI down there that seems to trip a lot that I totally forgot about. Fingers crossed that's what it was maybe during a rainstorm or something. Thank you

becareful folding that bush hog up to soon after shutting it down that racket of noise is u joints and gearbox not happy you will have a first class train wreck . will be nice to see what you think 6 to 7 months down the road of the tractor . what emissions bull crap is on this tractor ? i been looking at one just way smaller more like the 25 to 30 hp kotie has a tractor i would really like to try . it is a gear drive that you have to shift . the tractor i have now is a power shift but i all ways find myself needing something between say 2nd and 3rd 2nd being to slow and 3rd being to fast

[@kapperoutdoors]

Well an interesting note on the Batwing I talked to the representative and they said you could actually run it with those wings all the way up because I asked about tight spaces and such. He said it shouldn't harm anything. The tractors have a DPF and they've had them for a long time I had one on my last Kioti and it worked fine. Good luck thanks

[@kapperoutdoors]

But you are right I agree if I'm not actually doing some light mowing I should wait till it cuts off just for longevity. When I have done mowing with one of the Wings up a little bit I go way down on the RPMs. Definitely a good observation thanks

[@Tcrim354]

I polish my bush hog blades, i try to keep the bottoms flat and the blades at a 40-45 degree angle, just like a lawnmower blade. If you keep the bottoms flat your less likely to bruise the plants. Hard to sharpen and not take them out of balance. Jealous of the tractor.

[@kapperoutdoors]

Good info thanks man. I'm pretty sure when the time comes if they start getting out of balance I should feel the vibration. Have a great day, maybe next time I'll just try to zip the top of the blades
