Moving Dirt With Our Kubota BX, Kubota KX040 Mini-Excavator & 2-Ton Hydraulic Dump Trailer - No.134

[@humphreyhomestead]

I absolutely LOVE your raised bed set up!!

[@KillingItCountry]

Thanks Sam!! That’s the best thing we ever built in 2020 … before the lumber prices increased!

[@tractortalkwithgary1271]

Hello James. Thank you for making it such a fun time being envious of your mini and your dump trailer. I want you to know that there is only one thing stopping me from having both of those! ... well maybe two!

[@KillingItCountry]

Go get one Gary - you’ll only regret the monthly payment LOL

[@FabbedFun]

I could use a dump trailer for sure, but I need something I can fill with tractor and easily connect/disconnect. GREAT video!

[@KillingItCountry]

Yeah, when you have a dump trailer and tractor, it’s a little bit tricky connecting, and disconnecting all the time. If I didn’t have the excavator, this trailer would be useless to me because I don’t think the BX could get the loader high enough in the air to fill it.

I know what you mean about busy James. Now that I am retired, I have never been so busy. Today marks the start of my 67th trip around the sun. I am going to quit having birthdays. Every time I have one of the stupid things I end up a year older 🤣

[@KillingItCountry]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BROTHER!!! Handy folks are always busy!

[@GardenTractorBoy]

It is great to have the right equipment for the job. It looks like you are keeping very busy

[@KillingItCountry]

Oh yes. It never ends around here!

[@tractortalkwithgary1271]

Love your raised beds. Very sharp.

[@KillingItCountry]

Thank you very much! We built these beds in the height of Covid. I got all that lumber just before the prices increased.

[@RossOnTheLand]

Getting it done! Nice work. When I had my septic system size increased, I was told there was too much top soil on the original bed.. and they removed some, now my lawn looks like your. Grass is struggling, I want to add more top soil to regrow grass but not sure if there is an optimum thickness.... Cheers.

[@KillingItCountry]

It’s a combination of no rain + the septic is doing it’s job which is to shed water … it’s always so dry. What I really need is an irrigation system!!!

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? You said you were busy in May. It looks like you're pretty busy in June too!! Getting lots of work done. Way to go. Take care!!

[@KillingItCountry]

It never stops Mike … maybe this is normal 😭 lol thanks for tuning in!

[@OrangeismyNewGreen]

Happy Anniversary to you and Julie 🎉, Happy birthday to your parents🎉. It was cool watching Abbey working with the excavator. Great Team work James 👍🏻🙋🏼‍♂️🙂

[@KillingItCountry]

Thanks Luc!!! That was a crazy month!!

[@PetersonFarmsofNashvillePFON]

Nice seeing you dust off the excavator 👍 And a lot of work on that pool rock wow looks great!

[@KillingItCountry]

Thanks Phil. It’s about the best I can possibly make a cheesy $350 pool look. The kids have a great time and they love the Honda powered water slide LOL

[@tractortalkwithgary1271]

The gnats are terrible in Iowa this year. It is 60 degrees here today with a rather stiff north wind and we finally get some relief from them.

[@KillingItCountry]

The two things I hate the most are bugs and wind. The only good thing is that they very rarely exist at the same time.

Bonsoir James 007 👍😇 Great team work Excavator and trailer 😇👍 That reduce valve is in case that hose bust off so the tailor does not go down at the speed of sound and bending the trailer frame😮🤪🥴 That is about that same age ( earlier I think ) that I was driving the tractor 👍😇 She is going to be an OUTSTANDING Operator 😇👍 I wish that I was living closer to help you doing you GIANT CHORES 👍😇💪 🚧🚧NOW THAT X RATED R UNDER VIEW OF YOUR TRACTOR AND TRAILER SIR 🧐✌🤣👍🚧🚧Keep Up Your OUTSTANDING VIDEOS SIR CHEERS 🍻🍻

[@KillingItCountry]

So that’s why they have the restriction valve in the hydraulic cylinder. I always wondered what that could possibly be for but that makes total sense - very smart! Uou gotta start kids young on equipment and get them interested in lots of different things. It’s only going to help them in life.

[@RCAFpolarexpress]

@@KillingItCountry AMEN TO THAT 007 ( GET THEM ALL THE TOOLS THEY NEED AND MAKE USE IT AND WORK WITH IT !!! )

[@rockandrattleretreat5830]

If you get heavy rain will the top soil stay or get washed away?

[@KillingItCountry]

I’ve never seen the water move fast enough down there to pull away any topsoil. I think we will be OK.

[@loggerjohn01]

One question. Are you planning on having a toll booth on that road? After I finish watching this I will be contacting the proper authorities about child labour in this video. Great video and thanks for sharing.

[@KillingItCountry]

I suppose I could move the outhouse down to the road and create a multipurpose shituation … thoughts?? 😆

[@loggerjohn01]

@@KillingItCountry It might just work.
