Been watching a lot of tractor videos and I must say I think this one has been more informative and given me more Ideas than anything out there. Thanks

[@backyardcountrylivin1514]

Thank you so much for the positive feedback. I've aways enjoyed messing around with tractors and adding little accessories to help take care of any project. I have also made a few more additions since I did this video if you'd like to check them out. Also getting ready to make a few more and I will post those videos in the coming weeks. Thank you for watching and commenting.

Having watched way too many tractor accessory videos, this is one where there is actually something unique, both from a this is super simple, to this is more difficult but awesome (the 4 wheel drive indicator). Great job on the video.

[@KevinFlynn-it1jn]

Really enjoy your videos and all of the great ideas. Lesson I have learned is to keep your cell phone on your person at all times. One day I put my grapple on blocks, reached over to unlock the right pin on quick connect, and the loader arms came down. Unfortunately my right foot was under loader and when it fell pinned my foot to the ground. Because I had my cell phone in my pants pocket I was able to call for help. Scared me and was not hurt, sure glad my wife answered the phone in the house.😁

[@backyardcountrylivin1514]

Hi Kevin, that’s a great point about having your phone on your person at all times. Glad to hear you weren’t hurt. I know sometimes I forget the dangers of using tractors and equipment. I have had a few close calls, always seems to happen when I get in a hurry. Thanks for the positive comments and thanks for checking out the video.

Sounds. like your tractor is the project. Looks really nice but most time I am busy doing work with my tractors.

I know what you mean. I probably should spend more time doing work with the tractor instead of upgrades. But I enjoy doing both. Thanks for checking out the video.

[@CentralMaineOutdoorsman]

I need to catch up! 😂 looks like you have all the goodie’s! I think I’m going to get one of those adjustable 3 point arm links and hydraulic top link, must be nice when making adjustments. These tractors are like a Swiss Army knife. Nice video

[@backyardcountrylivin1514]

Yes, I agree. Swiss army knife of tractors is a great way to describe it. The adjustable link arm upgrade and hydraulic top link are definitely worth the money. Thanks for checking it out.

[@BUTTEWORKS]

Something I notice while driving my friend Kubota with similar exhaust configuration under the engine is that I keep smelling the exhaust gas quite often while with the MF high exhaust I never notice the smell. Sometimes on the Kubota it gets a bit to much. I wish they would would be an exhaust mod to route it backwards, at least pass the rear axle. Great work, clean, and organized, they way I like it.

[@backyardcountrylivin1514]

Yes, I agree on the exhaust. I notice it sometimes on the Kioti, but never on the MF with the top exhaust. Thanks for the positive feedback and congrats on hitting the 1k mark on subscribers.

[@job38four10]

So far on my CK3510, I made small tool box that sits on top of fuel tank, made bracket for ROP light to sit inside of ROPs, made 400lb rear ballast out of rail road iron, rear diff hold-down knob, made right side step, welded on, bucket hook, and lastly had to strengthen up front grill so wont bend so easy.... So far all my add-ons are using exiting bolt holes, only had to make couple small welds for right side step..... Next on list is add skid-plate, I change hydraulic filter for second time mid Nov, I notice a big dent in filter that looked like it was hit with baseball bat and I hardly ever go in woods....

[@backyardcountrylivin1514]

A lot a great add ons you have there. The skid plate is a great idea. I saw one video where one of the hydraulic filters got punctured with a stick and all the fluid drained out. Then another where a guy was moving a dirt pile with the bucket and ended up slamming the oil pan down on a big rock and cracked it. I would love to see the plate installed if you happen to make a video of it. I subbed to your channel. Thanks for checking out the video and commenting. Happy New Year!

[@job38four10]

@@backyardcountrylivin1514 I only have skid-plate on my L3400, it will becoming off next month for trans fluid change. This summer I'm hopping make skid plate for my CK3510, I did 200hr trans fluid change last Nov on it, I noticed the filter had baseball bat size dent in it, and I was very careful with tractor, I dont like filters getting dented.....

Really nice brush guard with the Kioti logo. You should start to produce and sale them as there is not much online. Let me know when you will take order. I have a Kioti CK2620, 2024 and I would be interested in having one ;o)

[@denslod2930]

Pallet fork with Cotech or HLA or JD pg11-12 removable grapple, would be the cats meow.

[@backyardcountrylivin1514]

Yes it would. Pallets forks are already the ultimate multitool for the loader and adding a grapple to them would be awesome. Thanks for checking out the video and commenting.

[@shadowulf]

Nice walk around. I was curious to know if you added ballast to the tires? I've seen you do some grapple and fork work that looked a little questionable without ballast

[@backyardcountrylivin1514]

Hey Allen, yes got rear tires loaded from dealer and then of course the additional weight from the box blade and the box under the rack full of bricks. I’m guessing in the neighborhood of 700 extra pounds of rear weight, not counting the weight from the loaded tires. Definitely need it to lift some of those heavier items you mentioned. Thanks for checking out the video.

[@PaulVolz-q3m]

very nice video. I'm getting same tractor soon. which grapple do you have in this vid? thanks

[@backyardcountrylivin1514]

Hi Paul, it is a 60" Construction Attachments Dual Cylinder Grapple. I can't even begin to tell you how much back breaking work we have done with it over the last 2 years. It is very well made and has performed like a champ. Here are a couple of links below: one the Construction Attachments website and another to a video I did going over the grapple and doing some work with it. There are also several other videos on my channel with it in action.

[@jamiewellon8930]

Nice mods!! where did you get the D-rings you mounted on the front and the swivel side link? Great videos too

[@backyardcountrylivin1514]

D-ring came from MGE products (got it on eBay). Adjustable side link also got on eBay. Side link is always showing out of stock. Have to keep checking back and order as soon as it is restocked, they sell out fast. Here are links for both.

[@SirSchwantz3223]

Where did you get or what do you call that swivel side link? I can’t find one and want to get it :)

[@backyardcountrylivin1514]

Ordered it off eBay. It was hard to find, they were always out of stock. Just kept checking back and got lucky when they restocked. Here is the link. Keep checking it regularly and order quickly if you see it because they sell out fast. Thanks for checking out the video. www.ebay.com/itm/254935485140

[@lowboy162]

What’s up with no armrests. Does your right arm get tired if your doing loader work?

[@backyardcountrylivin1514]

It definitely has armrests. Look around the 15:40 mark and you should be able to see them. They are wrapped with the same orange camo as the seat. Don’t think my arm would make it without them. Thanks for checking it out and commenting.

[@darrontabor3139]

The strap configuration you have to hold your PVC chain holder onto the tractor, where did you get those? my local hardware store has no idea how to get them. Are they online or do they have a specific name? Or, did you just make them?

[@backyardcountrylivin1514]

They are called conduit hangers. Should be able to find them at Lowes, Home Depot or any electrical supply store. The ones I used are for 1/2" conduit. I did wrap the bar with some electrical tape to add some thickness and keep it from scratching the bar. Hope this helps and thanks for checking out the video.

[@jasonbilich6467]

Do you have a video on how the rack is installed on the box blade?

[@backyardcountrylivin1514]

Hi Jason, unfortunately I haven’t done a video on that. But I’m always looking for new ideas to do one. Give me a week or two and I will put something together. Thanks for watching and giving me a new idea for a video.

[@johnburk9157]

I like that clock, thermometer. Where did you get it?

[@backyardcountrylivin1514]

Thank you for the video. I have a Kioti CS2220 with a front loader and a 48" rear finish mower and rear blade. I want to have a bit more stability and install rear wheel spacers. I have been told yes and no by two different dealerships on spacers. I have contacted Kioti, and their answer was " You must contact and work with a dealer to make sure as i cannot advise upon this matter." Do you or anyone out there have any advice on wheel spacers for this Kioti CS2220? Thank you in advance.

[@backyardcountrylivin1514]

I have read on some of the tractor groups about people adding spacers and they seem to be happy with the added stability. Back in my farming days, we would add rear wheels spacers for row crop farming and it definitely gives you more stability and sense of security. I don't really know anyone who has added them to a Kioti or the model you have. I did find this website below that does list different size spacers for your model. I'm just guessing if they make them for your model, then they should be approved and safe. You could probably reach out to them with a email or phone call and get a bit more information.

Good question. I do have one, but I mostly use it on my MF-231 with disc harrow, rotary cutter and a few other implements. Works on a about half of the implements that I have. Box blade stays on Kioti most of the time. Probably will add one to Kioti at some point. That for watching and commenting.
