Hey thanks Cat. We really appreciate that. Congrats on the BX25D1. Great machine. Did you know that I actually turned a BX2200 into an ice resurfacer? Works great too. Hope you do a video on your new BX. Now you got me excited. Thanks for your kind words and stay safe.

Ya you see the advantages of the BX as we do and you well explained it too. Thanks from Wifee and me ;)

Thank you again my friend.

Walter Herrick Thank you very much Walter. I appreciate your kind comments and I'm pleased to hear you enjoyed the videos. Thanks for taking the time to watch them.

Mark Donaghy Thanks Mark. I'm seldom serious lol. Ya the thumb is a wonderful addition to the BX especially now that it's hydraulic. Sure worked out well with that rock. Thanks for watching!

Oh man I do not like heat. Id rather cold any day. Get some rest and take it easy and stay off of KZfaq lol.

Thanks Tim. Glad your enjoying our videos. We try and make it as much fun as possible but we are like that all the time anyway so it's easy to tape lol. A new video will be up in a day or so. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. Keep well my friend.

Kubota makes a great machine. The hydraulic thumb is my design and get works perfectly. great little tractor. Thanksfor watching.

Thanks buddy. Ya she kept a few for her garden. Did you get your package?

Thanks Jim. Hope all is well on your end.

Well hello neighbor. Great to hear from the locals lol. Tempted is good but take it to the next step and drop in some time ;) Great to hear your enjoying our videos. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Thanks. Next video in a day or so. ;)

Oh man I feel your pain. Great machines but they do make us think up jobs to do with them. Hope you got your project completed.

Truck Shackley That little BX is about the coolest little thing I've ever owned. We were only supposed to keep it for one year to gain access to our back property but then I got interested in it. Developed a multitude of accessories for it and decided to keep it. I think of it as a Swiss Army Knife. I have over 20.000 operating on heavy equipment. Some of the machines I've been on we're worth over a million dollars but the small BX is the machine I enjoy the most.

Truck Shackley Ha. You might have solved the puzzle on Atlantis lol

How fast it works is dependent on the outside temperature. You could wait 20 hours then all of a sudden it cracks in a dozen places. I would put a tarp over it and get it warmer. That will help.

Ha!. Don't think I've seen the cap. I'll have to investigate that one for sure. Kubota has given me some really nice caps but I never checked to see if they were waterproof. I'm hoping my drilling rock days are behind me now but one never knows ;)

Thank you very much.

It's only lately I've had the opportunity to actually use the hydraulic thumb since it was winter when I did the mod but I much say I'm impressed with it. Not having to get off the machine to set the mechanical thumb now is a blessing.

Oh man sorry to hear about your puter issues. We've all had that happen and it's not nice. Nice to have toys but they do come with a price. Mods on tractors, Mustangs.....oh I fully understand lol. Ya the rock is history so we are moving forward full steam ahead at this point. Glad your back.

Thanks bud!

+mrbluenun Yes sir. It's cracked. Great stuff.

Thanks. Sometimes going by the text books don't always work. I have over 20.000 hours operating heavy equipment and many many times I had to do things very differantly than we were trained to get the job done.

Thank you!

+Phil B. Thanks Phil.

Well considering the winter we had I got up yesterday and opened every bag at the one time. We sure had a great day yesterday but I ran out of bags. More on order ;) Glad you like the thumb. It sure is nice to operate with it.

Hey Kurt. Great idea on the rock splitting but I think I'll pass on it. My luck it would take out half the town when it split lol. Don't worry. I'll keep posting vids. This week the shop picked up to a crazy pace and on top of the I caught a bad cold. The property is starting to look very nice at this point and the final grading is done. Just waiting on some more material to be delivered from another company but things are moving fast on this project now. I have to do two more parts to this series and it will be completed. Stay tuned. Should have another video up by weekend. Thanks for your encouragement my friend.

I'm fixing to look at your latest upload now. BTW You Sir are a excellent video host! I really like your videos, you can tell?

iflyhelis Thanks my friend. I sure appreciate it. Hey it's people like you that keep us doing the videos. Stay safe my friend.

I Thank-You for putting up with long upload times/gremlins in the KZfaq software/& your wonderful Wifey Kathy for putting up with you. ;-) Kathy you do great video! Kurt, from afar....

+Guy Snow Your kindly welcome.

I think it will buff out lol

Thanks for your vote of confidence ;) oh ya. I enjoy that thumb. Thanks for watching!

christoffer1973 Ha. Hot air cost a lot here. Not much of it here so we ship it in ;) We see a lot of you great people from Norway on our channel and we love having you here. Thanks for watching.

Gee if I tell her that it will go to her head lol.

Just kidding. Great video!

Oh man. I know you were kidding and thanks for the laugh. I needed one today.

Sure is. Great little unit.

You should have stopped in. I would have given you some rock lol.

hahaha as long as you would of signed it! lol i wanted to stop in but the garage or nothing was open, so we were like naw, so we went down to the flea market in spaniards bay

We were gone on Sunday but were there most of Saturday. Heck. I would have signed all the rocks if you were going to take them lol. So. Did you buy any fleas ? ;)

yea thats probaly why then, we passed sunday, and i didnt think you were home cause the garage was closed and the van was gone, and no lol but there was some cool stuff like, old coke and pepsi bottles and stuff

David I’m sorry for the slow response. We get hundreds of questions every week so it’s hard getting to them. You can rent a Hilti hammer drill. They are good. So are the Bosch drills with a 1” drill bit. That will get it done. Hope you like your Sure Footers. Thanks.

+Guy Snow Guy run it for the first 50 hours at 2000 rpm and then after that I run ours at 2600 and some times a little higher. Congrats on your new BX.

Nick Herron Thanks Nick. I don't know anything about the JD. we don't have any dealers here on the island but I realize your not asking me about that one. As for the Kubota BX25D. Well we bought it just to open up our back property and only intended to keep it for one year but fell in love with the thing. It's a great machine and perfect for one acre. the larger B modle is nice too but maybe a little over kill for your needs but I do like to buy larger than I need but in my case I already had the Kubota Grand L 5740. Unless the JD is something out of this world you can't and won't go wrong with a Kubota BX25D. Hope this helps.

Thanks. Yup. Planning on a workshop tour in a future video.

+Robvanvie3 Hill Ive only used the stuff on the rock you seen in the video. You can go as deep with the solution as much as you want as long as you have a long drill bit, powerful drill and good strength in your arms. temperature is an issue this time of the year as well. Go to their site and research it. www.ecobust.com

Brian Hughes One of the best mods on the machine. I'll never go back to those stupid small pads.

Bob I'm very well known at Newfoundland Kubota. I even work for the owner of the dealership. Great people. I'm planning on building some of my designs later on. Right now my day time job takes up all my time. Happy to hear your enjoying our video's. It's folks like you that keep us wanting to keep doing them. Check out our web site at www.specialtyrepairs.ca

Ya I almost feel guilty asking it to do some of it.

CDNinKS Thank you. Kubota don't offer a hyd thumb for their BX series. When we bought this little tractor it came with the optional machinical thumb and after a few months I got tired of that so I designed a fabricated the hyd one. It's been great.

Paul Short Excellent! Have you thought about marketing it?

CDNinKS Yes I have but my day job takes up all my time.

Paul Short I can imagine that "spare" time is not something you have too much of around there by the looks of your shop, it looks there is just about nothing that you won't tackle. I've got a lot of good friends from the rock, better people you will not find anywhere. I went to check your website and in the text you mention a link in the top right corner for Kubota stuff....I don't see that link on my Mac, just wondering if I'm missing something there. I was going back and forth between the JD 1025R and the BX25 but after watching your videos I think I have my choice. Keep those videos coming, really waiting for one that shows all 48 mods.

CDNinKS Thanks. Well I worked all Saturday and into the late evening to get the light mod started. Took Kathy shopping in the city then came back and worked late last night to complete the job. Crazy busy this week and we have a contractor starting at 7am this morning doing some shop improvements. If a job is interesting I'll take it on. I think it's the challange more than anything. Some say I do what other don't want to do. I'm ok with that. I had to remove everything Kubota related for two reasons. The first reason was everyone was calling and emailing wanting to buy the stuff. I only put it on the site to show what I've designed and built then we signed a contract with another tractor manufacture and we took it off the site to honor one of the requirements of the contract. The contract ends this week but I'll keep the Bota stuff down off the site so we don't get harassed to death again. Appreciate your kind words. The BX is a fantastic machine.

jj1479 Well there's actually two regular ones that I'm on. The first one is www.tractorbynet.com I go by the name 4shorts there.The other one is www.orangetractortalks.com I go by the name Wildfire on there. Your kindly welcome :)

If you like them subscribe so you don't miss any of the new ones.

It was essential to have that rock gone. It was right in the way to getting into the BX's shed plus we wanted the area for our outdoor fire pit and room for chairs.

Well done i would have got a contractor in lol....

I'm to stubborn for that but it would have been the logical thing to do lol.

quietmale00101 For me it's the heat we've been having that makes me suffer. Come on cooler weather ;)

+Jake Schisler Na. Too much fun the way I did it ;)

I'm going to bury them deeper lol.

Yup!

Good idea. I actually know someone in there. I'll check it out.

+Jake Schisler It could have been IF there had been a agricultural Deere dealer here.

They say it will split any rock as well but I too am happy it was shale.

***** That's so true :)

Yes sir lol.

Great to hear. Hope you enjoy the others.

I agree. Thanks 👍

Thanks. I like that score lol
