Reshaping the Banks of Our Pond - Kubota BX23S Moving TONS of Dirt!

[@OrangeismyNewGreen]

That was a fun project for you and the BX, the BX is a little workhorse, it pulled out a good size rock 👍🏻, great job Lucas 🙂🙋🏼‍♂️👍🏻

[@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead]

I love operating it! We moved a lot of dirt that day! Thanks for watching, Luc!

[@toddcox9991]

I think planting some trees around the bank to hold the soil from eroding will help in the long run. Grass can only do so much to slow the water down on that steep of a bank. Mature bald Cypress roots do a great job and look cool when growing into the water.

Lucas: I am jealous. All I have been doing for the last few months is snow blowing. It is cold up here in Petawawa, Ontario. I cannot wait to dump the blower unit and put the bucket back on. Your pond is not frozen over. Man, I can only hope. Take care and stay safe.

[@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead]

We have been blessed with some mild weather here and I’ve been able to get out and enjoy it! Hope you guys thaw out soon!

[@BigDsHomestead]

​​I really get a blessing watching your videos. One day, a little voice told me to check out one of your videos. Ever since then, I've been hooked. You are literally all over the place. Tractoring, talking about your homestead, and anything and everything in between. Never boring and always informative. You are so humble. Anyway, it sure got cold in a hurry here in KY. It was literally 70+ one day, and like you said in one your videos, spitting snow the next day. Gotta luv Eastern KY weather. I'll be glad when it warms up a lot though. BTW. Your place looks AWESOME! Be a great place to visit sometime this summer, if you'd allow it. My lil boy and girl would love it. Makes me want to wet a hook or 2, though. GOD has truly blessed you and your familt, brother. If you ever travel west in future, give me a shout. We'd love to meet you and your whole family. We coukd sit around and fellowship a while. GOD bless.

Davis sounds like a great dealer. Thanks for the education.

[@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead]

Thanks for watching! 👍

[@edboley4724]

I can always see skepticism on peoples faces when I tell them what a BX is capable of, but this is a great example of the work they can do, great video Lucas!

[@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead]

Thanks, Ed! One of these days I will stop in and say hi and bring some stickers. 👍

[@JustCaidsDayFarm]

It's amazing how much dirt you can move in a short time with these tractors. That looked like a really fun project with some great results. Caidance would have had the same type of attention span pick up a few rock then be soaking wet and covered in mud. It will be cool to see all planted and growing.

[@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead]

Thanks! I was really surprised at how well the little BX did. I was afraid I was just going to hit big rocks and make a mess. It worked out great! I missed a great opportunity to prove how well I know Caden, because he indeed was soaked right away. I just didn’t get it filmed! Lol

[@graemetracybradshaw9871]

Great Job Mate. Regards from Australia. Love your channel

[@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead]

Right on! Thanks for watching!

[@D70340]

Looks a lot better Lucas! Great job with that BX.

[@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead]

Thanks, it was a good time!

[@jamesharless5357]

Looks great Lucas. That little tractor gets the job done. Sure is nice to look back and see the improvement that you’ve made . Great video!👍🏻👍🏻

[@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead]

Thanks, Bud! Such a handy piece of equipment!

[@FabbedFun]

Fun to watch! Great job!

[@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead]

Thanks, Logan!

[@joehammel3007]

Gotta love the bx! Awesome job!

[@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead]

Thanks! It surprised me on this job. I didn’t expect to be able to move this much dirt!

[@kathmandu1575]

Great video - Thanks

[@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead]

Thank you!

[@poonjaber1122]

Love it… good work

[@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead]

Thanks!

[@faulltw]

Looks good Lucas. I have to do the same with a drainage ditch we have. Make it look more like a stream

[@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead]

I was really surprised how well the BX did moving all that dirt. It was a fun project!

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

I got to ask...does leaning your head to the right make the boom swing faster? 🤣🤣 Great work!

[@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead]

Of course! I am one with the machine!

[@paulholmes672]

Leaving the stumps is a good thing, keeps the bank stable and you can sit on them when fishing. Yes they'll rot out, but the roots will hillbilly rebar the bank for a while longer.

[@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead]

Good thoughts!

[@ruslankadylak2999]

As long as the roots don't touch the water... Otherwise they'll become leakage points.

[@WilliamsonRidge]

That looked like a job for the Kubota M6060, lol, but that BX got it done!

[@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead]

Yes, it most definitely was! Lol

[@howardmiller4241]

All those rocks your picking up , I would line the pond with those .

[@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead]

Absolutely! We have started working on that!

[@BigDaddyAddyMS]

Why are videos about moving dirt so interesting to me? The world may never know.

[@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead]

Me too! I love to watch Letsdig18. Something about dirt moving!

[@ruslankadylak2999]

Because it appeals to a kid in you. This is like playing with your toys in a sandbox. Same thing, only the adult version. The real question is why kids love to play in a sandbox? ;)

[@minutemanmac]

Would be nice to be able to get some projects done here! Still cold and more snow on the way!

[@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead]

We have had some amazingly mild weather here! I am definitely no fan of snow son not complaining. Hope you thaw out soon!

[@bhall7997]

Looks good ponds around here have 10" of ice on them 🤣 No body moving dirt in my area...The big stumps at the end you thinking of burning the brush piles on top of them ?

[@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead]

I haven’t gotten that far with my planning yet. I’ll be thinking about it. 🤔

[@gregblack2628]

No doubt good job. I live in KY Bluegrass region. Are you in Ky. WV Va Mo? Terrain looks very similar. I have a B26 steep hills 5acre bottom . Would love a pond nowhere to get 1that nice though. Couldn’t you bring the water level up to Help?

[@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead]

I see you figured out we are in Kentucky! We love it! Our water level fluctuates quite a bit. I did bring the level up about a foot, but it doesn’t stay full year round.

[@gbltheolechurch5acrehomestead]

Get her DONE! ❤️👍🔔

[@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead]

Gotta love the BX!

[@BigDaddyKrapper]

Looks A Lot better than it did.

[@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead]

Thank you! We are getting there!

[@akm03051]

What size box blade is that?

[@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead]

5ft

[@glevideo]

Exchange the backhoe bucket for a ripper blade and you will be able to get those stumps out.

[@matthewsims359]

putting the bx to work lol. thats the toughest "lawnmower" ive ever seen lol

[@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead]

For sure!
