Orange Ball of Fire!! Kubota LX3310 Tractor & Brush Mulcher! Tower Project!

[@danielniquette5187]

Your videos are the rare ones I don't skip any parts. They are interresting and informative all the way through. Thank you and keep on the good work.

[@kylerayk]

I believe Baumalight changed the design of the rotor from a segmented stack of staggered plates to a drum with stump cutter teeth and brackets on it. Perhaps the new design lends itself more prone to wrapping than the previous design. Thumbs up on the comment of doing tree work when the sap is down and leaves are off. I learned that lesson about 15 years ago. Makes the firewood dry faster and is much more pleasant when you don't have sweat dripping in your eyes.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

...but sap is up in winter, right? Down in summer.

[@kylerayk]

@@TractorTimewithTim No, the sap/sugar rises from the roots to nourish the buds and leaves in the spring and in the fall it returns to the sugar to the roots. I tried to attach some references but YT was giving me an error message. kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4mvl6mgpMSbapY

[@Studio23Media]

One of the things I like about this channel is that you take time to get to know the machines before giving reviews. You show the work you do and your experiences, and then give your opinions after some real work. There are too many channels who pull a tool out of the box or off the trailer and immediately start a review, having never actually used it.

[@jeffreycurrie3410]

This tower property has proved to be a great playground.

[@earlyriser8998]

I loved some of the new action shots. Especially the one inside the muncher. The little LX3310 handled the mulcher fine.....every machine it has been on has stalled eventually....so it showed you need patience and 'small bites' but it will get the job done

[@wyattbonnette3414]

Christy has to be the most dedicated camera person ever! Always willing to work for the best shot!

[@TylerDurden-zr4xv]

The camera shots and angles were on point. I was literally jumping out of the way for flying debris and limbs smacking back at me ...very imerissive! Great job..good pointers. Thanks.

[@C_J_81]

Loving the orange tractor. Just bought a B2601! The implement looks great like usual. I would seriously consider wearing a forestry helmet with hearing protection and a face shield when running that thing on a open station tractor. It sure loves to launch debris.

[@stephenlehr6020]

Looked like Christy could have really used a helmet with face shield there are the end of the video. Glad everybody is safe and thanks for another great video.

[@Kcolby47]

The Brush Mulcher is a nifty outfit and the LX did a nice job handling it. Great video shots as well. Christy is a dynamo! Blessings.

[@bnewton5922]

Sure could use that for the bushes along my fence lines. I like how it takes care of the stump and mulches everything. No need for a chipper. Thanks for the video. Stay safe.

[@12jeeplover]

Man, I wish they made those for the smaller tractors like the 1025 or my bx2360. No matter it is still fun to watch. Thank you for being one of the most honest people giving a real view of tractors.

[@joeyw4442]

Looks like an awesome piece of equipment. Definetly has it's place. Good work and I enjoyed the video.

[@dwhallon21]

That brush cutter is pretty impressive. The lil orange tractor seems to be holding its own. Appreciate the comments on getting used to the tractor and how best to use the brush cutter. Your comments about making arc patterns ok n lieu of straight lines makes sense since the unit is narrower than the tractor. Thanks for sharing this

[@billfenner7084]

I am glad to see that you have put the orange machine to some use.

[@masher7774]

I really appreciate your videos being a true view of doing a project. You explain all of the challenges you overcame and different methods you used in every project and not only is it entertaining but also educational. Keep up the amazing work!

[@ralphjelomono9068]

Hi Tim. That machine is much better than a rotary cutter for this type job. Thanks for the demo

[@stephendixon4619]

Love the content, crops are green, real tractors are orange!!

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Not sure about that, Steve! Hey, I’m about ready to help with your stumps.

[@stevek4449]

Ok i gotta chime in here,yes crops are green and orange tractors are for orange groves in sunny Florida, but we all know REAL tractors are as blue as a sumner sky on a clear warm day!!

[@stephendixon4619]

@@TractorTimewithTim Thanks Tim, just say when and I'll be there.

[@ericlaker1983]

Thanks for the video Tim and kristy !!

[@danielsharon524]

I like your approach to evaluating the Kubota. The other vids (& this one) on this brush mulcher are impressive.

[@johanbos160]

Looks good behind the kubota tim and works good and the camara inside the mulcher looks great too 👌👍

[@ladwiss]

That mulcher is a beast. I bet a cab would feel a little safer to be in than the open station. Doing a pretty good job it looks like

[@timraber6575]

Most of your inside projects are necessary to get ready for the outside work. I found your video on repairing Molly helpful. There is probably lots of those tractors out there that needs some work to bring them back. And now you have a nice warm building to get things done. I too am ready to get off the couch and get things done outside.

[@FISHH00KS]

I remember your other videos about this done in the summer. There's a huge difference in the visibility (to the ground) between then and now. Thanks for posting these videos.

[@BelloBudo007]

Australian here checking into what you're up to and liking your attitude toward your work of 'steady as she goes'. I'm on 110 acres and trying to keep an eye on the various weedy stuff that keeps on wanting to make my paddocks home. At present I only have an old 33 horsepower 4x4 tractor and a 5' slasher. Having seen you working this muncher has opened my eyes to other possibilities. Soon or later I'm going to need to upgrade the tractor and maybe just maybe, I can look at either buying a mulched or perhaps hiring one (if such things are possible around these ways).

[@larrypoeschel6871]

That works really well. Good video thanks Larry

[@mitchp350]

I am very impressed with that piece of equipment. I had about 4 acres that was probably thicker, with heavier alders, in which I brush cut some, hauled the bigger stuff out with a brush brute. The problem was after wards, I had an enormous pile of the bigger ones I hauled out, and whished I could have mulched them up to some extent, so they would decompose faster. That looks like it would have been a much easier and made a much better job, in the end.

[@richpicone7788]

This is a really impressive attachment. LOVED the extra angles on the mounted GoPro!!

[@seansysig]

Tim how are you feeling? Your wind seems to be coming back stronger. I hope you, Kristy, and Katriel are safe & healthy. God Bless you and your family.

[@tretter1452]

Why is it that watching this attachment in action never gets old?

[@TractorTimewithTim]

I agree. Enjoyable to watch.

[@simpleman4196]

As you said in the beginning it is very hard for us the viewers to see some things. It did look to me like alot of that could have been brush hogged. That mulcher works good glad to see the kubota out. Also with some time I would like to hear about the tires and how you like them

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Not with any of my brush mowers.

[@Aprons.Overalls]

WOW... I didn't know you could even get an attachment to handle "brush" that large. Nice. =]

[@doomman700]

Looking good running orange

[@BradMyers]

I'm surprised how well the mulcher worked on the tractor. I have L3560 and hadn't considered it because I thought it would be to small of tractor for it, but after watching the LX, that has changed my mind. Now if I could just get eh finance committee onboard.

[@ritterjon]

💥 I wouldn't mind hooking that up to my 3940 and using it for awhile. Looks like a great way to clear some land. *Keep on tractoring!*

[@scotts1703]

should try to keep lh side to open to keep drive case from pushing trees down rather then cutting them off and general abuse to drive case

[@HuserHelpers]

Nice work Tim and Christy. Happy to watch something other than snow removal. I personally got my Mower Decks serviced and installed on the BX and old G. Have a great day, and looking forward to your next series of videos.

[@williamhubbard5336]

Another reason to do brush clearing in the winter, bees, wasp, yellow jackets and snakes!

[@leelavinder2231]

Love those R14 tires. Mulchhead isn’t bad either!

[@chrismills4213]

Good to see the Kubota getting some love 😁 God bless.

[@davidschlecht3016]

Good job as you said take your time be patient and the end result I think looked to have turned out well.you talked about the size of the tractor but even a bigger tractor you still have to take it slow so the machine can do its job effectively!👍

[@vacountryboylifestyle5097]

Don't worry about the people that nit pick! Good content!! Keep up the good work!!!

[@48VAC]

I have found the looking over your left shoulder works well with treadle pedal. You can use your right heal for backing up. Kinda backwards from "normal" I guess.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Not sure how I would reach 3 pt.

[@peterkober6758]

Tim that machine works well can see a lot uses for it God Bless All PaK

[@richardwentland3489]

Tim: Did u ever try driving forward with the bucket down (with or w/o edge tamers) to break or bend the brush with the brush machine mulching behind as you go?

[@RockhillfarmYT]

I love that brush muncher

[@RockhillfarmYT]

Picked up a couple of those TTWT t-shirts this morning

[@TractorTimewithTim]

cool! I need to get the new logo stuff on our website. I'm assuming you bought from teespring?

[@RockhillfarmYT]

@@TractorTimewithTim yes I ordered from T spring because I saw it under the video and I could picture myself walking around the hardware store in it LOL Keep up the good work my friend

[@ku4nz]

I bought 1025R because of you, wife just said no to new orange. Sad. Good job as usual.

She is smart lady! Stay Green!

[@matthewcampbell8071]

It would be great if you could do more hired jobs. I really enjoy them and they are more relatable to me at least. Really enjoy your videos and keep up the great work

[@N98858]

I Did Enjoy it Tim...Thanks (I have a B2650 with a 60 inch Land pride Brush-Hog that has just 51 hours on it since new, always looking for a new purpose for it) Mike~

[@ElkCreekAcres]

That would be handy Tim, I know a few spots of ours where I could use that mulcher. It looked the 3310 handled it pretty good, that's a lot of implement for that HP. I'll look forward to more time with the R14's from you and your thoughts.

[@jimmyhorton1504]

Looks like the LX handles the mulcher very well! Can't wait to hear your thoughts on the tractor later on!

[@tractorcorleone]

Very useful machinery 👍👍

[@lcee6592]

I could definitely use a cutter like that. It would take a good size brush hog and tractor to tackle that size of brush/ saplings. Very thick too!

[@MattN03]

Loving the orange tractor content! ;)

[@GPOutdoors]

Morning Tim. That unit sure does the job on the brush. Re: the ROPs. If there is a nut welded on either the left or right ROP, there is a threaded knob you can get from Kubota ( it is supplied on the BX models) that fit the B2601 as well. I have a feeling it will also fit into this one as well. For reference, the Part is called a "Clamp Rail Cover" and is Part # 53721-61533. Inexpensive, but built for tightening down the top of the ROPs by threading it in ( to stop the rattling) and out of the nut on the ROPS (when you need to drop the top). It works. Cheers!

[@markcalhoun9480]

Did you replace the crappy headlights yet Tim? Also there is a new Kubota ROPS light kit that mounts where you have you GoPro. Plus I would like to thank you for savings on the bucket Edge Tamers. They worked great for plowing snow.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Glad the edge tamers worked for you! Amazing yet simple product!

[@johngaudreau7506]

I wonder if a metal screen on rops bar, big tool quick attach style would increase safety for you?

[@kingofwake]

You look so good on an Orange tractor ;)

Great video Tim 🚜🇺🇲

[@lloydcrowder1283]

On the bx23s there is an anti rhops bolt/ knob. It fits the rhops on the b and lx.

[@ddddsd20]

I’ve never liked the peddle setup on Kubota but it appears to be an advantage in this case, but I’m not in the seat so maybe when you give your evaluation please let us know, thanks!

[@4x4Moses]

My brother-in-law has a Brown Tree Cutter. It will cut at ground level, but won't cut anything larger than 6-8 inches wide.

[@erikrunas226]

Sweet. I was waiting for your Kubota video.

[@tinachambers4887]

Hi Tim an Christie have a day love from TEXAS

[@timscott8149]

What size tractor do you have to have in order to use this equipment and thank you for showing us the length videos you it really shows me what the equipment does

[@TractorTimewithTim]

I would say 30 PTO HP minimum. Bigger is better up to 50 PTO HP.

[@pascalallard405]

What happen if you hit a small to middle rock like 6 to 10 inch, big dammage or just a Little wabble with this implement?

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Not good.

[@orgeirjonsson3014]

Pretty amazing machinery Tim :)

make sure you check out the "other" orange. kioti makes an awesome machine

[@ohiofarmer254]

I haves found that if you run over it in a few different directions then let everything dry out for a few weeks then hit it with the brush hog everything decomposes really quick

[@THEBASIL1946]

You know they make machines that do a better job

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Really? Wow. I assumed this was the very best machine possible to do this job at any cost!!

[@Byron88]

Impressive implement

[@JCourts2k23]

Great video as always, well done, I’d love to be able to drive a tractor, but sadly i can’t see well anymore

50 degrees out? And sunshine? Geez, Tim...that's t-shirt weather in Michigan ;-)

[@blue_spruce_joe]

Nice attachment and video. I could use one of those for sure.

[@briandickinson3721]

I did notice, about the 13 - 14 minute mark of the video, that the tires treads on the Kubota were packing in with dirt.... interesting to see on those hybrid tires.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

It was quite muddy.

[@coypatton3160]

Tim, I am really impressed with what the mulcher does and how it leaves the property. My concern with purchase is it seems to be a one time use on a property. You might have need for it over a prolonged period as you addressed. But once cleared, brush cutting a few times a year should keep that under control. I think purchase would depend on having a large property that needs to be tamed or a group of property owners sharing or use the sell to another property owner. Personally, I would rent a skid steer with a forestry mulcher unit. With the skid steer, I think a longer working period would be more realistic.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Or maybe occasional use for business.

[@RCPSU4]

I think of this attachment when I see any overgrown properties in some of the places I drive through with my job. Could probably do two or three places per day depending on lot size.

[@GreyMassey]

When you are done mulching up the saplings do you do anything with the roots that are left?

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Nope. Just trying to get the property suitable for mowing.

[@jamesdiehl8690]

I've seen some big machines (forestry mulchers) on videos recently. They can go through that stuff and bigger so quickly. They would be a big investment though, probably in the $100,000.00 range. The machines are bigger than 9600 series tractors.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Probably $250,000, James. Maybe more.

[@jamesdiehl8690]

@@TractorTimewithTim Could be! I know they were BIIIIGGGG!!!!!!

[@countryman5110]

Nice video 👍

[@Dirtyd-dd7xy]

Wonder if you could use it successfully to chip/grind up small windrowed brush piles instead of burning? Just make smaller piles when trimming or clearing brush and back on into them. It’s hard on equipment smashing them down to get them to light and stay burning.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Yes.

[@eosjoe565]

Nice video. When turned around in the seat and going in reverse do you find it is more comfortable pressing straight down on the rear of the Kubota's treadle pedal vs. stretching your right leg out to press the reverse pedal on the JD?

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Reserving comment, Joe. As you likely know, I hate the treadle. I’m trying to give it some time so that I can get used to it :-)

[@eosjoe565]

@@TractorTimewithTim As a JD owner, I dislike it also. But... when doing a lot of work in reverse it seems the reverse treadle pedal position would potentially be more comfortable than stretching my right leg to reach the reverse pedal when I have my body twisted to the right.

[@royscarbrough3589]

If you wanted to do a lot of this I think I would want a front mounted PTO. But yes that is a full time job

[@loganrench5680]

You should reach out to brown tree cutter and see about getting a unit to show on your channel and do a comparison between it and this mulcher

[@deanbarr5740]

I am really impressed with that brush cutter. The LX 3310 didn't bog down at all. Now I have a question, in your opinion would my J.Deere 3025 handle such an implement? Not sure but I think I might have 20 PTO hp. Great video Tim.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

I don’t think the 3025 would have enough ponies.

[@deanbarr5740]

Not really what i wanted to hear but I'm sure you are probably right, thanks

The Kubota handles the mulcher well!

[@thetractorden6189]

Been looking at adding one of these to my arsenal.

[@petejones9788]

Do they make one that is hydraulic driven that could be mounted on the front of the tractor?

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Not this small, no. Too heavy and requires too much power

[@michaelfinney2160]

Does a great job ! Is the 1025R a loaner demo or do you own that one as well ? Have a Blessed Day

[@TractorTimewithTim]

We own the 1025r.

[@rickyoung360]

Did you have any concerns about backing over the 6" stumps that you left on the first pass? No puncture concerns?

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Not while the stubs are green. They are still flexible. Once dry, they would be dangerous. This is why I like the mulcher, it takes them to ground level.

[@akbychoice]

I was hopeful to see you going forward with the bucket about 10” off the ground and see how the mulcher would work.

[@Mrbink01]

Tim, every time you said "right to the ground", it made me think of Little Red Corvette by Prince 'Cause if you don't, you're gonna run your little orange tractor Right in the ground (Little Orange Tractor) Right down to the ground (Honey, you got to slow down)

[@bucklemon9945]

I’m really excited about the Kubota. I have been eyeing a LX2610 as a replacement for my JD 2210. Looked at the John Deere equivalent and think the 3 range transmission and other items maybe better on the smaller sized tractor from Kubota even though i love John Deere.

[@DragonflyAcres2022]

Good morning, I never seen a machine like that,I have a bush cutter I would not use for thick brush I’m afraid something going to break..Thank you for sharing

[@kencramer1697]

Go and watch the other videos show casing this tool. You will see it in operation on several different tractors with varying amounts of power and in use at different times of the year. Some of the other videos give you a much better look at what the mulcher will REALLY handle.

[@damianzanolli1845]

Are you running the tractor with a little more throttle than the PTO mark? That might help with how it cuts and keep the saplings from wrapping around the head.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

We always run wide open throttle for PTO attachments...and recommend others do the same.

[@jerrybrock5335]

Do you have to back up or can you leave your bucket some what low and go forward?

[@jackcox475]

Yes sir! Go Orange!!!!!

[@Harry-zz2oh]

To show the slope, just use a couple of 2x4's and a long level. It will show it very well. Make one with a slot & a wing nut so another board (maybe a 1x3) can be used to adjust the height, then lay the level across between the two. Crude, but it will work.

[@longdistancefarmer7836]

Awesome attachment. Is there a smaller one available for the 1025r?

[@TractorTimewithTim]

No. This is the smallest one. Sorry.

[@firstlast7099]
