Kubota BH70 Backhoe

[@brentpearson4877]

Loved the video! I have that same setup. B2601 with backhoe. They are awesome and very capable machines. It’s worst enemy, like any tractor, are hills!

[@Robinson-Homestead]

It don't like the hills but I love it lol.

[@anthonyr5869]

@@Robinson-Homesteadthat’s why you get a gear one

I have the smaller BH on my BX23S. I've used it a fair amount for digging up stumps and one lengthy french drain. That thing is amazing. Appears that you really know what youre doing with yours.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

It is so nice to have something move dirt with and have to call someone. Thanks for the comment.

[@Gyppor]

Even though it looks slow, it's pretty crazy how fast you can dig compared to digging by hand, even for such a small backhoe. The backhoe does the work of 5-10 guys easy, maybe more. I run machines between 50,000 and 120,000 pounds for a living and I swear a big one does as much work as hundreds of guys on shovels. Even after a decade and a half of doing this, when I stop and think about it my mind is still blown.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

You are right it's better than digging by hand for sure thank you for the comment.

[@nancywilson7476]

Great video, thank goodness you have a good piece of equipment to help you. I just dug a 50 ft trench 24 in deep by hand for water and electric. Hard work took me a full week. Never again. Love your cat 😊

[@Robinson-Homestead]

I don't know if I it could do it to be honest with you. It would take me a long time.

[@timdelph9048]

I tell folks that my BH70 isn't anywhere near as quick as a mini-ex, but it was a lot cheaper and it's at my house 24/7. I checked the pressure relief valve on my 2601, and it was just barely below the low end of the spec range. Shimmed it and wound up just barely above the spec range. It sped up the backhoe just enough that it does 2 simultaneous smoothly now. Doesn't rightly make sense since that would be a flow volume issue and not a peak pressure issue, but I'm pretty happy with it any which way.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

I love mine we have used it so many times and it beats using a shovel.

[@Hatch61]

You were so right Kevin, a heck of a lot quicker than a shovel, and so much easier on the back. Looks like you and Julie may have gotten a little mud on your shoes, LOL. Thanks for the video, be well my friends.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

I love it it don't hurt my back. I like playing in the mud Julie not so much lol. Thanks Hatch.

[@carmenmariacortesmarin2664]

Nothing beats Sophie as your inspector 😊

[@Robinson-Homestead]

That's for sure she good.

[@none5355melvinMadigan]

That little tractor works great

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Yes it does! I love it it not hard on the back. Thank you my friend.

[@greggolszanski1621]

I would get a load of 2b river gravel and fill up your ditch behind the shed..it will work perfectly plus look neater than an open ditch it worked perfectly for my shed

[@Robinson-Homestead]

That is a great idea thanks for the suggestion!

[@garrybowers6216]

That was from Big thick pipe you’re doing an excellent job buddy . I see Sophie is expecting your work you really done a good job. Keep up the good work catch you in the next video your friend G-man.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

She does make a good inspector she can get into them tight spots lol.

[@GodzHammer]

How do you mow that steep side-hill? Are you going to leave it as an open ditch or eventually turn it into a French drain?

[@Robinson-Homestead]

I will leave the ditch open. I use a weed eater on the bank.

[@frankcarrerejr]

Julie asked you if you wanted to clean out the ditch, but no Kevin knows best. Lol I thought Sophie was going to go in the pipe.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Sophie will clean them pipes out llol.

[@SeaPro360]

What about using the backhoe and thumb to lift the pipe into the ditch?

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Wish I had a thumb. That would work for sure thank you for the comment and watching.

[@SeaPro360]

All the tractor videos are running together!

[@Pete.Ty1]

👍👍👍.Thanks Kevin

[@Robinson-Homestead]

My pleasure!! Thanks for the comment and watching.

[@sheilabowers7532]

Enjoy the video you did a good job I really like the cat she’s pretty I am G man’s wife

[@Robinson-Homestead]

That Sophie gets into everything she loves to steal the show thanks so much for the comment.

[@TheJimcrooks800]

I hope that pipe really works Kevin but it may be that you'll need a gravel and membrane fix at some time. It will be good to see how the pipe on its own works. The Kubota is a real God-send for you.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

It seems to be working time will tell. I do love the tractor big help.

[@MrSTOUT73]

How did you connect the two pieces of pipe together? I was half expecting Sophie to disappear into the pipe!! hahaha

[@Robinson-Homestead]

I butted them together and screwed them together.

[@anthonyr5869]

What size bucket is on your backhoe ? Is that the 12’ one or 16 ?

[@Robinson-Homestead]

16 inch

[@TheWoodHaven]

Lookin good. That sure is a nice tool.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

It's not hard on my back and I like that.

[@jmstew642]

Your helper needs boots on, at the job site..! Flip flops, Lol!

[@Robinson-Homestead]

She wasn't supposed to be out there I just put her to work lol.

[@joebacarella2829]

That thing is a godsend Kevin, that would have took you 2 weeks with a shovel, why didn`t you put some large stones in front of the intake, so it cant clog with rocks and mud, just curious. Gotta love that tractor, that almost looked fun, Julie`s gonna kill you, those were her good sandals, teehee, keep em coming buddy, we love watching.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

That's for sure. It was fun I like playing in the mud Julie not so much lol. Thanks for the comment Joe.

[@davidsmathers5621]

That pipes not going to solve your problem you need to put in a French drain with pea stone and cloth

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thanks for the comment.
