Great Job! I was hired by some Amish Men to fix their driveways because every year for 3 or 4 years they have paid some guy to bring in more gravel and fill and level their pot holes and every few months the pot holes come back. I finally convinced them that if you didn't get under the pot holes and get rid of them they would keep returning. I only have a small BX 1880 with a FEL and a back blade but I was able to dig all of them out and for this entire Summer not one has returned. I'm sure the excavation company knew this but simply didn't care cause they were making money from these trusting people. I don't work my tractor even a fraction of what you do but it is so capable for it's size.
That’s awesome man! I almost wanna say I remember you telling me about this job a year or two ago.. is this the same job? I’m glad to hear it worked out good and sounds like you did an excellent job too. It’s amazing how many big contracting company’s refuse to do the job right just so they can come back every 6 months to freshen it up again. That’s the same thing that happened to the owner of this driveway. When I was finished with the job I asked him how long it had been since it was last redone.. expecting him to say it had been many years he told me it was done just previously the year before and he said they never scraped it down the way I did and he thinks that’s why it never lasted.. I said surely that’s why! From now on he says he’s just gonna have me do it for him.
Great video! I really appreciate the maintenance portion. Few people actually show how they maintain their equipment and it is a good example for everyone. You did a great job repairing those potholes!
Thanks Mike! Glad to hear from you again too! Glad so many of you enjoyed the maintenance, I wasn’t gonna record it at first but thought it would be good for some people to see who are new tractor owners. Thanks for watching!
Thanks buddy, glad to hear from you again! Hope all is well. I will certainly have to make a video on the cutting edge replacement. I havnt decided yet if I want to build my own or just buy the Kubota bolt on cutting edge.
Box blade would have done wonders here. I put off buying one for years and regretted it once I got one. Even though you are a master with that bucket, the blade would have made quick work of that. Even a BXpanded piranha tooth bar would make a HUGE difference in the work you do. You should consider either of those if finances allow. Great work!
Hey buddy! Glad to hear from you as well! I hope all is well, glad you’re enjoying the new videos again! I plan to upload another new video this weekend as well! Stay safe!
Great seeing you back Mike. As usual you are the master with the bucket. You had me laughing when you hit the big pot hole coming in , haha. Looking forward to your stump removal. Cheers, Steve
Thanks Steve! Hope you’re doing well buddy! I’m excited to give the stump bucket a good workout too.. it’s been a good while since I was able to tear out a nice big stump. Take care and stay safe!
Nice job man! With plenty of practice, the way you operate that BX is a thing of beauty. Definitely got me beat for sure! I always enjoy your content and look forward to the next video.
Thanks man! How many hours do you have in the seat of your Kubota? Iv got about 1,000 hours in the seat of my machine so that helps a lot. But I also have many hours on other various tractors and equipment too. I’m sure your jobs turn out just as nice by the sounds of it! Stay safe!
You did a good job biff, and you are very thorough when you work on stuff a lot like myself. I wish I would have bought that bx tractor I saw at Richie brothers it only had 300hrs with a fel and backhoe all in great shape, sold for 8 k, def kicking myself for that
Hey buddy! Thanks I appreciate it. Man for 8k that’s a great deal if it came with the FEL. I see them from time to time on market place for around 10-15k but every so often I’ll see one for 7,200-8500 and with a loader and belly mower that’s a STEAL. Some day I’d like to buy a B2601 or an LX series Kubota. If like to get something a little bigger for some of the larger jobs I get.. I’d hate to trade my bx in though as it’s PERFECT for most the jobs I do size wise and doesn’t leave ruts in the early spring or late fall like larger tractors would. Some day I’ll get a compact/mid size machine as a seconds Best of luck on your searches!
@@BiffsEquipment ditto , l look forward to you making stuff maybe modifying your trailer hint hint , lol great job as always , take care Todd Miss working with the fucker also and hanging out in Alburn with him 🤪
Thanks Don! I know I felt bad I didn’t make many videos so far this summer. Stay tuned cuz in the next week or two I plan to start ripping stumps out with my stump bucket!
Thanks buddy! I always try to sprinkle in some facts and helpful tips through out my videos to help others out so I’m glad it’s appreciated! Have a great week and stay tuned for the stump bucket video!
Nick! Been a long time buddy hope you’re doing well! You’ve been a subscriber for a long time, thanks for the compliment! Next video I hope to be using the old stump bucket!
I've been wondering what you have been up to! Another great video with amazingly helpful content. I never knew to about those transmission fins to clean out.
Thanks man! A lot of people forget or don’t know about those fins and let me tell you they get clogged with mud and grass quite easily so odds are if you havnt checked yours they prolly could use a good cleaning/blow out. When I first got my tractor mine were clogged SOLID with thick hay/grass and looked like it had been that way for a long time till I blew it out and ever since do my best to keep them clean and clear
Hey Stewart thanks for watching. You’re right I should.. For years I was gonna build my own but for that price it may not even be worth it because a piece of hardened flat stock steel is prolly over $100 and then I’d still have to cut a 45 degree angle on the end and drill the holes so I prolly will end up going with the Kubota one. When I do get one I’ll be sure to make a video on the install!
Hey John! Do you happen to have “Biffs Equipment” on Facebook? I have a Facebook bussiness page as well as a “fan group page” called “biffs equipment fans” locate one of them and send me a message on Facebook and I’ll give you the details. Thanks!
I subscribed a while ago and have missed a few videos. You used to be in a wooden shed. My BX collection has been growing. ( I think we use the same dealership). I got a BB1248 from Larry and a SPL0548 from Lynn. I will try to catch up that Ebay rear cylinder looks interesting.
I bought my BX from Larry. I really wish I hadn't. Got grumpy when I asked for a better price off list, but he did throw a hat in for free. WOW. After I paid and picked it up, he didn't want to know me. I had a problem the first week, and went and talked to him, and he got an attitude about it. He NEVER once called to make sure everything was good with it after that. When I talked to people thinking about going there, I tell them not to deal with Larry.
Haha yes you’re right! It’s been quite awhile since I worked out of my small wooden shed tho, I’m glad you could make it back! You have a lot to catch up on. I have talked to Larry before, never dealt with him personally though. Hope you been doing well! That rear hydraulic cylinder was a cylinder I pulled off an old new holland snow blower to use as a hydraulic top link. The phone holders I will be selling on eBay soon but if your interested just PM me on Facebook
Thanks buddy! I will share the link with you guys as soon as I get the chance. I have a few things I gotta do first but once it’s ready I’ll make a video for you guys as I have some other things for the BX I’m gonna release as well that I think you guys will like. Thanks for watching and be sure to check out my new video posted last night!
Great video Biff. Have you considered getting a rear land plane given the amount of driveway work you do? I have one for my BX and it’s excellent on gravel.
Nice work. I have to ask, with the amount of gravel driveway work you do have you considered a box blade? I have on for my sub compact and it is perfect for these kinds of jobs.
Hey Ron! Great question! Yes I use to own a grader box actually.. you can see it on the top of my main UA-cam channel in the banner photo. I got rid of it though as it was a 6’er and was too cumbersome for the BX. I planned to replace it with a 4’er but never did. I do own a 5’ backblade though that I still use for driveway jobs from time to time but for this job I really wanted to tackle each pot hole separately with the bucket to dig them out as deep as I could before recovering them. A grader box would worked well too specially because of the scarifiers!
Yeah I can see where a 6 footer would be too big. Just like me, I have had plans to buy attachments for years but just haven't done it for one reason or another. Thanks for the videos, hope to see more.
Good job as usual buddy. I don’t know if you had a chance to check out the monster I put on my FEL last winter but I’d like to know what you think. Keep up the good work.
Hey Jason! So when I first started making videos I was using just my iPhone.. it worked great besides the fact that I often needed to use it during a job.. and getting the videos onto a windows pc was always a nightmare so I did all the editing off the same phone.. after awhile I bought a hero 7 black, that was the most reliable camera I ever had for many years.. I then bought a hero 9 black years later which was a total POS.. I threw it against a tree and broke it with in the first 2 months of owning it.. never used it again after that and was GLAD I smashed it lol.. absolute JUNK. Was brand new too. Then about a year ago maybe less I switched to a DJI osmo 4.. that things been great.. more reliable than my hero 7 was which is impressive and then battery life is insane.. came with 3 battery’s and an easy to charge carry case. I’ve been using that in all my recent videos.. also external microphones connect to it with no extra hardware. The only thing I don’t like is that the audio isn’t quite as nice as it was on my old hero 7 or hero 9 blacks.. the hero 8 black is a good camera.. just don’t ever buy the hero 9.
Is the inner air filter OEM or after market? It is a great idea. I have a Branson with 550 hrs. and an Allis Chalmers with 3100 hrs. and they don't have this. I think it is something I would add. You are still the FEL king.
Hey Ed, so the inner filter does not come standard on my tractor.. most manufacturers only include the primary filter but will offer the secondary filter as an add on you can buy. You should easily be able to get one at your local dealer or Napa/auto parts store. Just give them the part number to your primary filter and tell them you’d like to buy the matching secondary filter that goes with it. Having a secondary filter is HUGE. I highly recommend it to anyone specially if you work in a dusty environment like I do. You can see just how much dirt and filth made it passed the primary filter because my secondary filter use to be bright white about a year or so ago.. just shows how important it is because with out it all those small particles would made their way only the engine. Let me know how you make out!
Yes a box blade would have worked good as well.. through you’d have to be careful not to dig out the larger rock/base underneath with the scarifiers. I also don’t own a box blade anymore .. I sold it because it was a 5’er and was too cumbersome for the little BX .. always planned to buy a 4’ box blade but never got around to it. Thanks for watching! New video coming this weekend!
Oh yah, I’m well aware. Was gonna mention that in the video that I was ordering a new one, but due to not having one on hand I wasn’t gonna chance not running it during that dirty driveway job. I mention in another maintenance video of mine that once you see the secondary filter is no longer white then it’s time to replace it. Thanks for watching!
Yes a box blade would have worked great also but I don’t own one anymore. I sold it as it was a 5’er and too cumbersome for the bx. I planned on buying a 4’er but never got around to it. Thanks for watching!
I am enjoying your channel with the driveway work and gravel usage! Keep them coming!
That’s great! I was actually going to recommend my driveway work videos and I see you already found them! Haha!

Great to see a new video! Your channel was the 1st BX content I followed when I got into tractors 4 years ago
Hey buddy! Yes I remember your user name. You’ve been a subscriber for quite awhile, I appreciate it! Glad you enjoyed the video!
You work that bucket like your playing a violin / Nice video, keep em coming
Haha, never heard that one before and I’ve heard alot! Thanks a bunch buddy I really appericate the comment!
Great video! I really appreciate the maintenance portion. Few people actually show how they maintain their equipment and it is a good example for everyone. You did a great job repairing those potholes!

Nice job. I like seeing different ways to tackle a job.
Right on ! Thanks for watching
Nice job, good to see you back
Thanks for watching! Glad to be back!
More great work from the bucket master. 👍👍
Thanks Ron!
Awesome job, as always. Thanks for sharing. Besure to film the cutting edge replacement. I'm sure that will draw some views.
Thanks buddy, glad to hear from you again! Hope all is well. I will certainly have to make a video on the cutting edge replacement. I havnt decided yet if I want to build my own or just buy the Kubota bolt on cutting edge.

Exciting!! I been waiting for another video
Hope you enjoyed it! I plan to get the stump bucket back out next time!
I’ve been missing all your videos. Glad to see you back. Hope to see you soon. That’s a lot of work to do with the front end loader. On a BX.
Thanks Don! I know I felt bad I didn’t make many videos so far this summer. Stay tuned cuz in the next week or two I plan to start ripping stumps out with my stump bucket!
Nice video!!! I love your insight to the BX tractor. Has helped me a lot.

Love the flag in the background you really do an awesome job on that swiss cheese driveway
Thanks Louie! “Swiss cheese driveway” is the perfect name for how it looked, I shoulda used that as the video title! Lol
Nice job, welcome back! 👍
Idk how you do it 🤔 You feather that fel like a paint brush! Amazing👨🎨

Hi Biff....You should just go buy the Bolt On Cutting Edge from Kubota. You have the holes in your bucket already. Mine was about $125 (5) years ago.
Hey Stewart thanks for watching. You’re right I should.. For years I was gonna build my own but for that price it may not even be worth it because a piece of hardened flat stock steel is prolly over $100 and then I’d still have to cut a 45 degree angle on the end and drill the holes so I prolly will end up going with the Kubota one. When I do get one I’ll be sure to make a video on the install!
Biff I am interested in the phone attachment for the BX tractor I believe you said you sell on EBAY. How do I go about finding it on EBAY?
Hey John! Do you happen to have “Biffs Equipment” on Facebook? I have a Facebook bussiness page as well as a “fan group page” called “biffs equipment fans” locate one of them and send me a message on Facebook and I’ll give you the details. Thanks!

a box blade with diggers dropped drown for a couple of passes to bust up the potholes and then grade it would be faster
Great job, could you do a similar job with a 2 ton excavator you think?
Thanks Trevor! And sure you could, you could also use the blade of the excavator to help you regrade it after
Good job as usual buddy. I don’t know if you had a chance to check out the monster I put on my FEL last winter but I’d like to know what you think. Keep up the good work.
Hey Rick! I’ll check it out buddy! Sounds like you have something nice for your machine! I’ll be sure to check it out ! Stay safe!
I see you switched it up from a go pro , What are you filming with now? I just bought a Go Pro 8 Black today to do 4k 60fps.

Would a box blade worked for that ? Those were moon craters, nice job 👍🏼
Yes a box blade would have worked good as well.. through you’d have to be careful not to dig out the larger rock/base underneath with the scarifiers. I also don’t own a box blade anymore .. I sold it because it was a 5’er and was too cumbersome for the little BX .. always planned to buy a 4’ box blade but never got around to it. Thanks for watching! New video coming this weekend!
Could you print a chainsaw scabbard for tractors?
Yes I should be able to.. but I’d have to design one first and test it. I can look into it for you. Message me on Facebook
You need to replace those air filters if you see any dirt on the inner filter it means the outer filter is no longer effective
Oh yah, I’m well aware. Was gonna mention that in the video that I was ordering a new one, but due to not having one on hand I wasn’t gonna chance not running it during that dirty driveway job.
I mention in another maintenance video of mine that once you see the secondary filter is no longer white then it’s time to replace it. Thanks for watching!

Why wouldn't you use your box blade on this project?
Where’s the link for your eBay store? I’d love to see it
Do you have me on Facebook? Look up “Biffs Equipment” on Facebook and shoot me a message.
It still amazes me, that you don't have a box blade.
Haha, Some day I’ll break down and buy another one!
Annnnd.... You still have holes ion your jeans!! ha ha ha ha
Haha 😆 yes sir!
