Skid Steer Maintenance

[@fletchlives98]

Our ssv75 has 7k hours on it and scrapes a free stall barn every day, hasn’t skipped a beat yet. Very reliable machine.

[@MessicksEquip]

Little things like this go a long way to keeping a machine running well. Props on a good video, you make washing easy to watch.

[@pratwurschtgulasch6662]

when you removed one of the panels, how come a mountain dew or chocolate milk didn't fall out of there?!

[@annjones3672]

That's what I was waiting for!

[@MarcDupont]

A tip for removing filters. through a couple of paper towels in a grocerie plastic bag and wrap it around the filter when you spin it off. gloves to help too.

[@StinkyPete69]

Just a little tip, blow out the rad first then spray. Spraying it just compacts the dirt more in the fins.

[@dougdiplacido2406]

That puppy really cleans up nice. Refreshing to watch you after a day of unsettling news. Thanks.

[@bobjohnson1710]

Eric, I saw another farmer on another KZbin channel use a dry eraser marker to write the engine hours on the inside of the cab glass when he changed the air and oil filters. That way you always have a reference that you can see of when you need start thinking of changing them again. I hope you like his idea, I sure did!

[@TheFarmingLife]

Good afternoon hope you're having a great day. Can't wait to see the new TMR mixer on the farm.

[@jimcade7294]

Grab a 2 quart milk jug, cut the top 1/4th out. Slip it under the hydraulic oil filter before you spin it off next time. Catches all the oil so doesn't run all over. Great videos. Keep em coming

[@katienyberg6477]

Intelligent, motivated, handy, and real easy on the eyes! 😍 Your wife is one lucky lady!

[@dallasstone1254]

Love to watch these in my free time

[@danguritz2446]

You seem very busy. I am your fathers age it's good to see some one with a super good work ethic. I farmed for 30 years cow calf and 500 actually hay 25000 am square bale. Wore myself out had hip replacement at 50. Not to slow you down just pace your self. Good job.

[@joetownsend-]

We have the same Kubota but with tracks‼️ Landscape Company so we move mulch, dirt, boulders, sod, gravel/crusher run, sand, pavers, River stone, plant soil and so on. The gravel is hardest part of cleaning. Small size stone gets trapped in crevices and has to be hammered out at times!!! You made the Kubota look new- Great Job‼️ 🇺🇸AMERICAN FARMERS🇺🇸 🇺🇸AMERICAN HEROES🇺🇸

[@johnearhart8811]

Looks great. I always like running a clean machine after a through washing.

[@mchuo7834]

Kubota makes the best skid loaders. Reliable, easy to maintain, smart designs.

[@ottoschultz9768]

Love to see what’s going on on the farm, keep up the good work 👍

[@dhenschel4]

That skid loader has some nice design features, the competition will likely copy in their next go around. Trick for changing oil filters - punch a hole in the bottom with a screwdriver before taking it off so you can remove the oil into another container so it doesn't go all over the machine. Nod to Daddy Cornstar for that.

[@makingithappen5178]

That service significantly increases the lifespan of it.

[@FarmsfeedU]

Hey Eric I am a dairy farmer from Bridgewater Virginia and I really enjoy your videos… We have a Mustang 2700 V skid steer and the Kabota is definitely a lot more user-friendly..Really like the door on the Kabota that slides up

[@tacjam1]

Awesome! The only thing dirt does is trap moisture which causes corrosion, block cooling, wears your seals out quicker and shortens the lifespan of the equipment. Glad to see you're taking care of her!

[@bennawa3050]

The cleaning with the pressure washer is so satisfying to watch. 🔥🔥. Looking forward to seeing the new feed mixer in action

[@waynebulson941]

Eric - Thank you for sharing these videos. You guys do such a great job of filming and editing that I rarely think about how much it takes, or adds to your task to set, and reset the camera for each shot, or new angle. I do know how much it takes. And in this case, it was a lot. You are appreciated. God bless you and all the family!

[@Warcity777]

Always nice to have nice clean equipment cause if something leaks you know right where it came from.

[@Zeke-yv3nw]

Eric i love how you take care and clean equipment whether its new or 30 years old.

[@kamikazekid94]

I’m not a farmer but I enjoy your videos. Thanks for farming and allowing us to to eat!

[@thomasperez4412]

Eric I watch your episodes you do and I'm so impressed with your work ethic and your co-working with your dad. Proud of that on both your parts. Love the infrequent basketball shots you do and the miracle cans of pop you find or try to catch. I even read your bible quotes you posts.

[@quinszar]

wow she really cleans up nice and easy. gotta love when you have days like that

[@jdog9468]

If you take care of your equipment like you take care of your cows then they will take care of you!!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing a new thing that I never had to do on the farm only tractor maintenance!

[@robertclemmer1292]

You showed yourself oiling the O-ring, darn, now I got nothing to say. Except, great video!

[@charlenewenthold5150]

I love the way you maintain your equipment again thanks for showing how hard it is to be a farmer things break too often

[@dimduk]

Kubota builds good machines, nice to see how easy it is to work on. You work hard enough, you deserve good equipment.

[@judyengland2615]

Thanks I needed a diversion today. I love your vidios and today your timing is superb

[@asquithmainlines699]

After watching this video and yesterdays video from Farmer on The Prairie seeing how fast combustibles build up in these implements it is no wonder so many catch fire. Regular maintenance can make the difference of having that implement to preform the task or not. It is a good thing that some manufacturers are stepping up to make that an easier process so hopefully it gets done on a routine basis.

[@jetblasters]

Passing 250 hours on the skid loader and fast approaching 300,000 subscribers! Go Eric. Well deserved.

[@WaxingRadiance]

For machines who spend all their life out in the cold and mud a nice warm shower must feel fantastic.

[@Its_Me0000]

You are almost at 300,000 subscribers - congratulations !!! God Bless you Eric.

[@cowboyupnow63]

Kubota gonna look brand new again after that cleaning. Good job Eric

[@trtj200]

Amazed that's all the dirtier the filters were, sweet the plates for cleanout.

[@prowelderno1]

Almost 300K subscribers mate, well done, kept up the good content....watching from Perth, Western Australia 👍👍👍👍👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@jakeashline852]

Nice job, love the channel. I fully expected a bottle of chocolate milk to come rolling out as you unbolted one of those plates!

[@thomasperez4412]

And finally, your a great but humble man. Sincerely Tom in Minneapolis.1-12-2021

[@donaldwallace7934]

Great machines, those skid loaders, but they can be a chore to clean out the interior cubby holes. I did that many times at the City Parks department where I worked. Looks great!!

[@joee.friesen751]

I washed a fork lift the electric board was fried boy my boss was upset never did that again love your vids watching learning I work at a hospital in mantiance very challenging at all times

[@judysmith736]

Nice job cleaning the tractor! You made taking that apart look so easy...if it’s truly that easy then nice design kabota! Great video! Keep up the good work! God Bless ❤️!

[@derekjensen5918]

Once again another amazing video. I really appreciate the fact of the care you put in your equipment and how it works or doesn't work. Keep up the videos and can't wait for the next one! God bless

[@notsoserious0944]

What a great machine. If you keep that up, you won't need to replace that until your kids are using it.

[@charleslynch7274]

Great video showing how easy it is to do some small maintenance to it

[@emmaleamcelhinney8650]

Glad to see that skid steer brings maintenance at ease

[@bigmacbricky4866]

Just got a Makita impact wrench same size as your small one don’t know how I lived without it. So handy.

[@luishenrique7l]

Hello, I'm from Brazil, I love your videos, I love to see what happens at the Farm. :)

[@rusnsc7622]

Well designed piece of machinery....ease of maintenance is impressive. Thanks for the post...

[@rogerwilson9892]

Easy to clean yes it is and Eric I agree by watching you just in awe to how easy it looked to wash out with a hose.

[@Forevertrue]

I use a leaf blower to get most of the stuff out so I do not have to use so much water that worries me around the electric. Its also great for in between regular maintenance. Saves a bunch of time.

[@JuggernautSam]

I've been skidsteer shopping for the farm and have been strictly looking at bobcat and JD just because it's what we've used. Think I've got to give the Kubota dealer a call!

[@ianschmid5710]

I like how easy it is to clean and take care of

[@MrFuz]

Kubota did a good job designing their machines they're so easy to fix

[@peanut71968]

I really believe stuff lasts longer and runs better when cleaned 🧼 frequently!

[@Loveduhmusic]

I recommend using a air hose to get the debris out first then wash it with water.

[@deneb.9798]

This is why your equipment lasts... Good work

[@wallaceloan4169]

Very easy machine to work on and clean out. She is a good buy Erik keep these good videos coming

[@mehrankhan9775]

Nice to see you working all the time on farm

[@heidyruizorozco4412]

Hola. Saludos 🇨🇷🇨🇷, me gustan mucho tus videos, se ve que trabajan duro dia y noche. Felicidades, se ve que eres un hombre muy trabajador

[@rearlt]

Good camera angles. I felt like I was underneath the machine with you.

[@mikejenkins9135]

Awesome keep up the good work Dairy farmer you will always get my thumbs up with all due respect Fort Knox Kentucky wave and a hand at you booyah

[@ricklarouche4105]

Like to see a man take care of his equipment.. especially after spending what l bet they did for that Kubota! I’m going to guess that as handy and versatile as those skid steer’s are, especially the track version, that they will continue to make them more compact, even a homeowner version someday.. 🤷‍♂️

[@dream33611]

Excellent video as always, but i was totally expecting a cold beverage to drop from the first panel.

[@mynameisjeff7197]

Hey Erik what we do to clean our machines is a doosan air compressor then I use my steam cleaner it’s easier to clean the feed of dry out than if it’s wet

[@Melinko7902]

1:00 Proof that it isn't always the size of the tool that has the impact 😉

[@flvince]

A little maintenance goes a long way.

[@harrietcarpenter2387]

Thank you for the great share...like to see what's going on with the dairy.

[@mitchelljohnson8988]

Easy to maintain! Enjoy the videos! Awesome channel!

[@jaredhanover1443]

You are a hard working guy and I respect that!

[@stephenstewart1653]

Very impressive water system. You should do a video on it someday.

[@TexasGTO]

Love your channel! Watch it all the time!

[@alanpeters9241]

Wish I had half your ambition and energy!

[@ChickensAndGardening]

That is one well-designed machine.

[@b._.j413]

Geez those kubotas sure seem user friendly compared to others I've seen

[@brianbarnes350]

Those are handy cleanouts.

[@scottklein5884]

A clean machine is a happy machine

[@steveadams99708]

Another job well done. Thanks for sharing.

[@brucemanley7593]

[@Deutschehordenelite]

Kubota is doing something right currently!

[@joelee662]

ERIC THAT IS GOOD EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE 👍👍🇺🇸 .

[@timothyklee5101]

You've got a bright future. Thanks.

[@farmboy5622]

Did anyone else have the song "Splish-Splash I was takin' a bath" going through their head while he was hosing things down?!?!

[@larcoal2963]

Nice vid, Eric.

[@roberthakeman9822]

Looks like your weather is pretty nice, we are going on our 3 or 4th blizzard warning this winter in Nw Iowa and are supposed to get another 5 to 7 inches. Thought maybe you were going to pull a few out of the bottom of the skid loader

[@cassiusdante2216]

When serving your Skid Steer. It's a lot easier if you raise the boom up . Just don't forget to use the boom stop .

[@harleyhall1550]

Keep up the good work love your vids

[@lifeasadairyfarmer101]

hey eric you have inspired me to do real life videos so thanks so much. your videos are great. i have watched all of your videos now so i am now on the second time watching all of them

[@alisdairtaylor9953]

[@maeJoyBwithU-ux3fn]
