Kubota SVL90 and MTL Brush Cutter Time Lapse - Reducing large cedar pile
This job took about 7hrs on a very large cedar pile in central Oklahoma. At the beginning of the video you can see that I used a set of pallet forks to separate the pile to look for hidden metal objects, etc that I didn't want to hit with the brush cutter. Yet I still managed to find a few items like a metal bed frame. Ouch. Fortunately I didn't throw it through the front window. This is also the only time I ever say the SVL90 get close to overheating. It was a brutal hot day with little wind as you can see from the dust. And if you know anything about these SVL90's, it's that the condensing coil loves to gum up with dust and the cap is poorly sealed. I looked like I changed ethnicities by several continents, the dust was so bad in there.

This time lapse shows a small portion of approximately 4 total acres that was cleared. Trees mulched included black oak, cedars, elm and sumac - nothing bigger than about 7 inches in diameter. For most of the video the cutter was run at standard flow (~18gpm) but some was no doubt on high flow (28gpm).
Steering rod dust cover replacement on a Kubota L5740

Nothing flashy here...no fancy editing or music, I'm afraid. This is just a quick tutorial on replacing the dust covers on a Kubota steering assembly. The dust covers were about $60 and it had me wondering if I could just use some ziploc bags or something! :-) In this case the project tractor is a Kubota L5740. This is not a difficult task by any measure but I know new things can be a little in...

This cedar pile was much larger than appears from the photos. It was roughly 100' x 80' x 20' feet tall. It took about five hours of actual mulching time to reduce the pile to nothing but small shreds of cedar. There were some large diameter trees hiding in the pile. I started by separating everything loosely with pallet forks to make shredding easier to ensure there were no hidden obstacles (c...
Kubota L3800 and BH77 backhoe, time lapse pond dig
Переглядів 16 тис.6 років тому
This was but one morning out of a ~4yr project. In this video, I was using a 10-inch Hy-Gear bucket to chip away little by little at the reasonably well-consolidated sandstone that lies beneath my property. Depending on the sandstone, I also used the quick-attach forks to bust up the rock. In a few instances, you can see some big chunks of rock come up.
Pond Liner Installation - over 10,000 sq ft

Well, the deed is did. It just about killed me because I ended up doing the entire thing by myself. I've yet to smooth out some of the wrinkles although I won't get them all out because there are curves in my dam, varying depths in the pond and that dang island that I really regretted at the height of my fatigue during installation. Nonetheless, I consider it about 90% done until I finalize whe...

How to mulch leaves to compost with a lawn edger and a trash can!
Переглядів 4487 років тому
I kept wishing I had a way to mulch leaves better than what I was getting with my mower. The other constraint is that I didn't want to spend any money to solve the problem. So I got out my edger and went to work in the plastic trash can. The results were great and I easily got a 4:1 or 5:1 volume reduction with this method.
Brush hog gearbox repair - How to remove and replace the output shaft seal
Переглядів 166 тис.7 років тому
"My gearbox is leaking and I need a new bottom seal!" It's a common problem with, at least from what I could find, very few answers. So many of the brush hogs for sale on Craigslist have this problem as well. Since so few know how to do the repair, this can be a great way to get a great deal on a brush hog and use for yourself or resale. It would not be possible to show how to change out bottom...

This was a pretty impressive dam right next to a residential neighborhood in Edmond, OK. There was a considerable volume of water retained as well. Tractor rollover accidents are not uncommon when working on narrow elevated surfaces with soft shoulders such as the top of a beaver dam.

Banana republic.
Great video. For the stubborn or recessed seals I use an awl and poke a little hole then screw in a sheet metal screw and pull out seal with pliers.
Good idea. I've had to resort to that a few times myself in the past.
Love the needle tip for your grease gun, awesome job, got my parts ordered to do the task- thanks!
Outstanding. Good luck with the repair, sir!
Your wifes garage? Atleast he uses the proper terminology. lol
It's important to know your proper place.
Happy wife happy wife.
Thanks bud, just what i was looking for.
Excellent!
How big of a pond are you trying to build, and how many hours do you have in it so far?
Hi Adam, I think it ended up being about 1/3 acre or just a hair bigger. You can see a little more of the fully dug pond on this vid: ua-cam.com/video/1BnivWc0Q0A/v-deo.html
An old mountain man told me that you know if an area can support you if there is a beaver dam there. It brings all the wildlife and supports everything necessary to make it so you can survive. Demolishing a beaver dam basically equates to slitting your own throat.
I hear ya. Rarely but occasionally these amazing beavers setup shop in a residential storm water drainage and cause water to back up into places it's not supposed to be. That was the case here as there is a neighborhood just out of view. In a more rural setting, beaver habitat restoration can and often does bring enormous benefit to the area.
Great video, thanks.
Thank you.
Thanks! I guess this is my next farm equipment project. My 6ft Razorback mower is leaking badly after only about 50 hours.
Bummer. That shouldn't have happened with so few hours, if under normal use. I just replaced another output seal in a heavy 7ft Rhino I own. I hit a concrete curb at full rpm and broke the output shaft - a $300 and full gearbox teardown replacement. Ouch!
hows the bh77 handle a larger bucket?
I rarely took the 24" bucket off. Loved it. The only time I did was when I needed to use the 7" bucket for a trench. I never had a reason to use the 16" that came with the backhoe.
Cool vids!
Thanks, Red Bug. Not terribly exciting but hopefully helpful.
Cool Video! Wish it was longer.
Haha! Well, it did take a few hours. There was another, smaller dam downstream a ways that had to be taken out as well.
Nice video, thanks. What is that boot part number?
Hey Batman, I believe this was the one right here. Are you in need of the same repair? www.colemanequip.com/parts/details/KubotaParts/COVER--DUST/TD270-44680/
@@MikeBosley Got it ordered, thanks!
Finished yet??
Hey Chaz, I got the pond liner down in Spring 2019. It holds really well about 2ft lower than I want it to! I thought I lined the low spots on the dam with enough clay but I guess not. Here's a vid where I put about 10,000ft2 of liner down in a day by myself. It about killed me. :-) ua-cam.com/video/1BnivWc0Q0A/v-deo.html
@@MikeBosley I already saw that video too. Pretty intense!
Excellent. Thank you for posting
Yes, sir. Thanks, William.
What a great video. Well done and super informative. I'm rebuilding my 30 year old J.D. 506 and had a metal-smith heat & pull dents and caved-in rear plates, fixed torn metal and beafed up the tail wheel. I wanted to wire-wheel the rust and paint it so just pulled the gearbox off and wondered, what now. And there you were=)). I'll order the seal tonight before it becomes discontinued by daybreak and get-er-done. Thanks for the video.
I'm glad it helped. Hopefully the seal you need is available and you'll have that thing up and running in no time.
Thanks for the detail at 3:40 describing how to order a seal based on the specs (outer/bore diameter, inner/shaft diameter, width/thickness). Helped me find what I was looking for on my mid-1980's brush hog of unknown origin.
Man, that is great news. I'm sure glad it helped. Good luck on the rest of the repair.
Any idea what that backhoe weighs?
The 'shipping weight' in the owner manual says it's 912lbs. Hope that helps.
Mike Bosley yes, thank you.
Great. I spent most of afternoon trying to figure out how to take the seal out and you showed me in 2 minutes. Lol
I'm so glad the video helped. Happy hoggin'!
Would a box scraper be even faster?
That's a fair question. I don't think even with the rippers down that it'd have worked any better. There were so many curves and contours I doubt a box blade would have gotten much ground engagement. I did use one early on though when I was removing top soil.
think if i had much of that to do, i'd check into a brown tree cutter.
Those things are amazing.
Thank you for this vid! I looked for this to figure out how to remove the old seal. I can't just lift it out. Now that I have watched, I see my old Bush Hog does not have the washer between the seal and the clamp. I suspect that is why it has been leaking as I paid someone to repair it just a few years ago. I will now check and see if there is indeed supposed to be a washer there. Glad this was here as it really helped.
Awesome. Good luck!
Mike - You've had the 4690 for some time now - what are your long term impressions of the machine and it's mounting? I am looking at a used one for my L3400 and am concerned about all the negativity associated with 3pt hoes - really interested in your opinion. Looks like you are in sand land, I"ll be digging a mix of sand and some red/white clay and I know I will have to take it easy. Also, if you still. have it, can you do a video on the mounting process and the additional mounting pieces that are for the 4690? Thank you -
Hi Ray, unfortunately I don't still have it to do a video but I'd be happy to tell you all I know. I think all the negativity is unwarranted. The guy that had this 4690 before me used it in his plumbing business. I know we both worked it hard and it was ready for plenty more when I sold it. I dug in hard clay as well as this silty soil you see here. The only drawback is the hookup. Like anything though, you get better at it over time. It is more difficult to hook up than the subframe mount (I've had both BH77 and BH90 backhoes.) I bet it took me 2hrs to hook up the first time but generally it was a 15-20 minute task after that. If I'd taken time to build a dolly for the backhoe, that would have helped. But considering the prices you can find on these things and the fact that you don't have to purchase a subframe, I think they are great attachments to have in your arsenal.
Gets dusty and won't cool in hot weather. I'm your neighbor in Texas and I'm looking at Skid Steers but Kubota is off the list now based on your assessment - no way on earth I would spend that kind of money for a machine that the AC doesn't cut it. Thanks for your review.
One thing I learned this summer is that there's another evap coil under the cab and once that was cleaned the A/C really did a bang up job. Still though, I don't think it's likely to be the best on the market. Otherwise, the overall machine is absolutely fantastic and I love every other detail about it.
What type mtl cutter and was that high flow?
Do you have a completed pond pic?also what liner did you use?im digging a pond myself and might do a liner,how much did the liner cost if you don’t mind me asking?thats a nice pond bro..
I was fortunate to find the liner on Craigslist and paid about $0.10 per sq ft. I got really, really lucky with the find!
Great video man, thanks.
Thank you, sir.

Mike how is the Kubota cab when it comes to dust are you getting a lot of dust in the cab?
Man, I got so much dust in my cab I honestly looked like I changed ethnicity. I couldn't believe how bad it was by the end of the day. Although, I've never really felt like the cab was sealed all too well. To be fair, it does take a bit of a beating with this attachment and the subsequent vibrations while cutting. Do you have a similar experience?
@@MikeBosley I am just looking around at machines at this point I am thinking of doing some under brushing on the side down around Houston. I really like the svl-95 but I want a cab to stay out of the dust and that seems to be the only downfall with the Kubota cab. I have spoke with some guys with bobcats with mulchers and they say they get no dust in there cabs.
@@dolanjohnson6601 I knocked the glass out of the front door twice this year using the shredder. Since I had to take the door apart, I can see where some weather stripping along the edge of the door would work wonders.
Awesome video! I have the same kind of landscape heavy brush like yours, do you think rotery is better then a flail, I haven’t found much on flail units doing this kind of heavy cutting
Hey man, thanks for commenting. It's hard to imagine a flail mower cutting like this even with heavy knives on a smaller tractor. However, some of the large industrial flail attachments for excavators can cut trees 6" and better! At that point it looks like a forestry mulcher but still is just cutting with flail knives. Very impressive stuff.
Mike Bosley Hey Mike thanks for your reply cheeers!
Not this guys first rodeo!
Incredible. I can't wait for mine to get here. Should be here Monday or Tuesday. Great video and thank you.
Congrats, man! I know it can't arrive fast enough for ya.
how much that liner cost you?
Hi John, I'm sorry I missed this. I actually bought the liners as discontinued part numbers from an oil field supply company. The first round I bought were only $700. I bought 5 and only needed 2. I sold the others for around $3k each. They are $4500 liners when new.
In that case Mike carry on Sir!
Roger that!
I am all for chopping up brush etc. like this BUT I would be using and open rear faced chopper and wouldn't even be doing it at all with out either a chain guard or at the very least a rubber guard guard in the front, its only a matter of time till you catch one in the back of your head if your lucky
Hi Karl, thanks for your concern. It's hard to see in the picture but there is a full OE rubber safety skirt on the front of the brush hog.
It's finally nice to watch a video from a man who uses his equipment the same way I do, There must be about a million videos from "city boys" who bought a new tractor with a rotary cutter and refer to what they're doing as "brush hogging" when all they're really doing is cutting grass and wasting my time. I wish there were some way I could give your video two thumbs up! :-) FYI...My equipment is a 1996 Kubota M4700 pulling a 6 foot Rhino and it will shred just about anything I can back into.
Haha. Well thanks, Uncle Duke. If you use 'em right, it's amazing what good pieces of equipment can accomplish. I actually had an Uncle Duke by marriage in Southern Oklahoma. He was a tough ol' boot and a good dude. Thanks for stopping by.
Love it, this guy will live longer and happier.
Looks like South Carolina clay
Not much clay there unfortunately...thus the liner. This is just classic Oklahoma red dirt (mostly red select.)
Hey Mike - this is one of the best youtube videos I have seen. You have a great talent. Great introduction (wife's garage.... - I was waiting for a comment when the gearbox oil dripped out onto the rags on the floor...!). To the point (zero extraneous info) great audio and video quality, your such a clear accent and importantly including information which really sets the context for tackling the problem. Way to go...
Thank you for the very kind words. Much appreciated!
Your wife owns the garage? Does she own the entire house, or do you own any of it? Lol
Just Jay That's funny. Never even realized I said that.
Great job this may be a dum ? but why do you need the liner for that big of pond would it not hold water ? but it looked like it was a hard job but nice job with what you had to use ! have a great day ! Kioti Curt :-)
Correct. There was not near enough clay there to hold any water - but at least I knew that going in. It had been full once or twice prior to putting in the liner. Thanks for the kind words. It was an absolute bear to get put in!
You are clearing trees off you r place, and I am trying hard to plant as many trees as I can get on mine. Are we all nuts are what? Send your trees my way!!
Lud Wig I know, right?! Seems like half of us don't want what we have and the other half can't get enough of the same! I really hate removing just about any tree but I was clearing for a pond.
boy-it's a miracle nothing flew out and hit u on the back of the head, without a set of chain guards on.
BigJim57 Hi BigJim, great to hear from you. You can't see it well in the pic but the thick factory rubber guard is alive and well on the front of the cutter. I prefer this over chain guards for heavy brush cutting. The chains are a little better when mowing grass, in my experience, since it doesn't lay the grass over quite as much.
I just purchased that same tractor yesterday used and it came with a 6 foot king kutter. thanks for the video post, I was wondering how big of brush it would handle but your video answers my question.
Hey Josh, I hope your king kutter is doing the job for ya. The Rhino in this vid is a "medium duty" cutter and did pretty well with the task.
GREAT VIDEO! THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO MAKE. helped ME REMEMBER HOW TO REPLACE THE SEAL!
