Things that need attention around the homestead are always there and it is a often a pleasure to try to keep up with, more so than work to keep up with. You obviously enjoy that. I do as well. Your video is quite well choreographed. I can tell you put a ton of effort into it and it shows. Nice!
Some great camera work & an interesting list of jobs Wes! Strikes me a backhoe would be very useful for a lot of the jobs you have to do especially maintaining those dainage ditches. Stay safe & well. 👍👍
Dude, I never heard of you before, but can't tell you how MUCH I enjoyed watching this video! From changing out attachments - the whole thing, thanks! 😀
I own the same tractor ( L4701) I’ve removed my water separater after shut of the fuel and have never had to bleed. I don’t think you need that step unless the tractor loses prime. I remove mine periodically if just too remove sediments from the bowl but have not had any water issues with the truckstop diesel I buy and always from the same place. Good Luck!
That was great. And awesome video job and great looks at what that Kubota L4701 can do. Thank you so much for letting us join you for some cool projects.
Channel locks are the special tool for just about everything. 😃 Great video. It makes me ponder getting out of the suburbs just so I have a good excuse to own a tractor.
I just reconnected to your videos. Gotta say, I’m bummed about the move, but I’m thankful to the Lord for his direction in your life. I’m a pastor (Reformed/Baptistic) in New England. May the Lord bless your new efforts!
You have unlimited patience to take the time to get individual shots of each step of unhooking and hooking up implements. I’m a poultry farmer and despise hooking and unhooking equipment. If I could afford it I would have a tractor for every piece of equipment I own. Good job.
There is a special wrench for that water separator. It has teeth that match up with the notches in a complete circle. Another type has a notched semicircular end with a tooth to catch the notches. It just saves hammering on that fitting. Good job on the drainage ditches, hope they can withstand the next storm! Your comment on the regen was something I’ve always wondered. Burn more fuel to clear up unburnt fuel!😂
I've thought the same exact thing about the regen on my L3301. It's not the end of the world but it can be inconvenient when you are wanting to get off the tractor to do something and then get back on because it has to be at full throttle. I don't like it at full throttle when I'm off of the seat. It's also extra wear and tare on the engine in my opinion. Nice video.
Great video, sir. Pretty slick back-blading with the front bucket and you have some serious box-blade skills as well. I make whoop-dee-doos whenever try to use one. Looking forward to the next video already.
there is a special tool for that made by the separator company( seems there's one for each filter model) but the best all-round tool is a strap wrench. It applies tension and pressure evenly unlike a slip joint plier or pipe wrench
Looks like you got Thanksgiving dinner in the works there with your winter venison you will have a full freezer all off your own land nothing better than that! Thanks for sharing your videos with us and God bless
A few years ago I found an old JD “grader” blade at a pawn shop for $100 that’s great for pulling that gravel back up on the drive and making good drainage ditches. I’d highly recommend one for your operation. Thanks for sharing.
Sometimes I'm amazed at all the things you do just to stay even with your land. The pressure at times must seem heavy. Education is expensive and has to be paid for by the many years spent learning and doing the hands-on work. Most all good education is on-the-job training. You can't get it from books. Good video. The one sad thing about this video was you admitting this wasn't the first time you broke into your car. Get a couple of keys made, I would hate to see your wife trying to break into the car too. God Bless and stay safe.
Looking at the back end of your Kubota tractor brings back memories. Almost seventy years ago my dad and I worked a small Ohio farm with a Ferguson tractor employing the same hydraulic lift/3-point hookup/PTO arrangement. My recollection, which could be wrong, is that a Ford/Ferguson collaboration originated that design.
@@grinpick No, you are correct. The engineer was named Ferguson and the collaboration was with Ford. After the falling out over the IP, he teamed with Massey.
Wes, have you ever considered putting drainage hose with a sock on it under the low side of your driveway? You might need to put it in at a depth suitable for your environment but it would solve your erosion problem once and for all.
Make cemented roads. They require less maintenance. Its just amazing to see you doing variety of work.falling water in slow motion from bucket was beautiful. Great camera angles👍👍🔥🔥🔥🔥
ATTENTION FALL LINE RIDGE........... Unfortunately the guy who set up your disc "harrow" didn't have a clue on the proper placement of the rear gangs. They need to be adjusted out on each side to where the 4 bolts that are nearest the outside are near the end of your square tubing. Just slide your rear gangs out about 10 inches on each side. If you notice in your video about 17:56 the front gangs are throwing the dirt much farther out than the rear gangs have the capability of reaching to throw it back in. Also you'll have some ridging in the middle the way it's set up now. They slide those in when they ship them to make them narrow but most people don't have a clue when they set them up at the dealership or farm store.
A good days work. I'm sure it feels very edifying to do a good days work on your own homestead. Thank you for providing your listeners with good, clean, hard working, every day activities you do on your homestead. The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord and he delights in his way.
With you being in the medical field I imagine you can snatch a blood pressure cuff. Lay it on the top of the door and pump it up. It’s easy on the paint and works like a charm pushing the door away from the top of the cab.
In the past I had diesel tractors that had a valve on the bottom of the bowl of the water separator. If you find one of these you will be able to remove the water without having to bleed the fuel system
i have same problems that you have , i have a couple recommendations for you. put some water breaks across your road so the water will run into the ditch line instead of straight down your road, also put a silt trap in before the sand gets into your pond . you might need to rent a small excavator , it will make the job much easier and faster. good luck.
There's nothing like a good sturdy pair of boots for work like that. No sneakers etc! I am impressed how easily you can change the accessories on your Kubota.
I’d recommend a 16” slip joint plier for your homestead. People call them channel lock pliers but that’s just a brand name. Harbor freight has a nice reasonable pair of 16” and even larger but I have never needed anything bigger
I mean this very nicely to save you thousands lol. Never back draw with a full curl bucket. Your cylinders will break! Other then that awesome video loved it all
Hey Wes. Nice video. Just shows what a wide variety of tasks you have to do each day. Regarding the turkeys n deer on the property that you harvest, is that just to feed the family for the year or do you parcel it out to friends n family? Not looking for a hand out! I’m in the UK 👍🤪
I agree - get a "Hide-a-Key" and another set of truck keys to put in it. Slim-Jim as last resort. From the beginning of this video I see that you are assured of a turkey for the holiday table.
Idea for you. Purchase a used rear implement that you don’t mind modifying and fabricate/weld on one side a half moon digging reverse plow that pushes/scoops the debris out and further away as you drive along side your ditch creating a perfect and consistent ditch. And being that it would only need to be about 8-12 inches wide/diameter, it would be just a quick drive down the road with the scoop spooning out and depositing the tailings towards the woods and away from your road.
Seems like all water travels down to the left, use the 3pt link and the box grader, the tractor 3pt links should have height adjustment, wind the left arm all the way up and the right all the way down then reverse as far back into the ditches as the kubota can and cut a decent swale to slow down and catch the water to take it away from the road, then cut up from the bottom to the to top of the drive starting from righthand side of the driveway continuing across to the left.
Great job. Any water is bad. Worst killer for injectors and injection pump. Really miss my wife's L3400. Would like to get one about your size. I have the same feelings about burning more fuel that you do.
The diesel tank you have for storage on your property needs to be always as full as possible,otherwise it will condensate and you will always wonder why you get so much water in your diesel ..
If you get locked out again, try some plastic felling wedges to hold the door Frame open. The taper makes them easy to get them in. Ask me how I know this. LOL
The need the DPF to meet the average NOx emissiions standards so they were legal and could even sell you the tractor. Without the DPF the tractor isn't legal. When you get to the point of having to do a regen the catalyst in the system is dirty enough that it is in danger of not meeting the NOx standard again so the need to burn off the particulate in the system. You are lucky you can still work wile doing the regen, that way you are only burning the little additional fuel for the difference in rpm from where you would normally run and the increased rpm. At only 12 minutes to regen that isn't very bad.
You're burning alot more fuel because not only are you running at higher rpms, but you're also injecting fuel into the DPF so it burns off the soot which 8s increasingyour fuel consumption considerably no matter what rpm you are at. When my pickup had all if that when it was regening on the highway I'd get 9mpg at 65-70 compared to 19mpg.
I think the 3000 is heavier, but with the loader on the Kubota it's probably about the same. However, the box blade produces tremendous drag, and the four wheel drive on the Kubota makes a night and day difference in pulling. The Kubota will out pull the 3000 all day because of the 4x4.
That damn dpf regen, one of the main reasons i bought a Mahindra so i don’t have to deal with that BS. I agree with you especially on small tractors for home use....just something on the engine that doesn’t need to be there
Have You seen the FEL adapter plates modified for 3 point hitch attachments? Imagine being able to put a box Blade or a Scraper or a Rake on Your FEL then back drag with them Just a thought when I saw You scooping with the Bucket Possibly even build arms that extend out farther

Been watching you since you started. Nice job breaking into your truck in under 4 minutes. Nice looking place you've got there.
Putting aside your farmwork and general work ethic, your camera work and editing is just on par with the best out there
Just came across your channel subbed I like seeing all the different shots of machines working like that...relaxing lol.

Oh yes the joy of 3 pt hitches with swaybars... been 40 years and this brings back memories
enjoyed the variety of your video great job......not a boring 20 minutes like so many others
I really enjoy all of your videos and especially the great camera work and angles.
Thanks, Gene.
Amazing how handy a tractor is. I may be dating myself a little, but the super-slow-mo of the water dump was only missing Bo Derek. ;-)

I did the exact same thing to my Cannon, I took a piece of square metal like you did and filled it full of concrete works great
A friend did this for me, I'm not much of a welder, but he did great. It's detachable which is nice.
Great video
Tractors Jack of all trades a master at none .
Only had one key for my truck as well. Did get a regular copy made for couple bucks. It won't start the engine, no chip, but will open the door

might want to put a length of silt fence along the pond at the low spot in the road. Not pretty, but it would protect the pond.

Tractor does a good job
A c spanner is the tool for that water separator but a filter spanner will probably work just as well
