My fault, but an issue I never ran into with my 2010 PHT. So something I will need to pay attention to.

After a safety briefing and operating instructions, Daniel started grinding the carriage bolt head off so we could get the seat bracket out. 96 views Oct 26, 2015

Its a crappy job, but someone has to do it. ;-) 70 views May 1, 2017

The double drive pulley for the transmission, and the mower deck had split. So after ordering a new one, Daniel installed it. (With the promise of being able to be the first test driver. ;-) 319 views Aug 23, 2016 removed from YouTube 2022

I was trying to get a side shot on an inside turn and Dan turned in a different direction than I was expecting. I was following much too closely, but we do that a lot with the GoPro camera as its a wide angle lens. (I was actually closer than the video looks. (Except during the crash, that was pretty much as close as it gets. B-) 186 views Apr 14, 2012 removed from YouTube in 2022.

This entire area is nothing but rock, so half of your time is spent moving them around. This area is incredibly boney. 1,451 views Nov 16, 2015 removed from YouTube in 2022.

First off, yes, I am aware that 11 is under the "recommended" starting age is 12, but keep in mind, this is not his first day operating equipment. He is a lot more mature around equipment than 90% of the kids in his peer group. Remember, the studies are based on children that went from playing with toy fire trucks, to learning to mow in one day. Let that soak in for a bit. He has had a lot more exposure to equipment, and its associated dangers than some "kids" in their 20's. His parents are (hopefully) buying a house with a pretty good sized lawn, and dads gonna need help cutting it. ;-) Daniel is pretty good with machines, this was his first time behind the bars of a mower with the blades engaged. (He has operated it before with the blades off.) He did a great job. This machine has several safety features, that amazingly enough, are still in place. (With the exception of the grass chute) Generally the older machines get the cut out switches defeated over time.) 221 views Aug 4, 2016

84 views Oct 27, 2015 Daniel finishing off the grinding. He kind of made it into a bit of a day job, but he was really close to finishing, and we didn't want this ending on a failure. He was about ready to hand it off, but some jobs you need to finish on your own. Or you will never finish one........ 84 views Oct 27, 2015

We don't have a bale spear, so we have to use the B7300 to roll the bale on to its end before picking it up. They end up getting used this way in our home made feeder.

Our bales get stored in here before getting put into a hay net, and dropped into the Octagon for feed out. 1,967 views Sep 8, 2015

The Husco valve is failing (again) so it doesn't like to roll the bucket, or keep it rolled once it gets there. Kind of irritating, as its caused by rust inside of the detent and regen retainer collars under the spring caps on the bottom of the valve. My machine has always been kept under cover, and has only been rained on a hand full of times since 1998. My first valve was replaced about a year after we got the tractor, the Husco valves they they put on the kubotas were junk, I'm kind of surprised that Kubota didn't just replace them all with a good valve. When I took this one apart, it had water in the bottom of the cup. Rust filled in any of the extra space that was left.. :-( 1,313 views Sep 8, 2015 removed from YouTube 2022

It doesn't seem to have the power it did a few years ago, and the RPM's don't seem to be getting as high. My guess is that we still have some carb work to do. (It was acting like this before we put the pipe on, so it's not our 90 degree bend.... ) 722 views Sep 4, 2014 removed from YouTube 2022

The trails were pretty tight for the rtv900, the Kubota wasn't designed for motorcycle trails. B-) 961 views Jul 12, 2014 removed from YouTube 2022 due to YouTube desk weasels.

While the canoe will float, it's incredibly unstable when filled with water. removed in 2022 because YouTube thought this was unsafe. 145 views uploaded Jul 2, 2014. I wish the management at YouTube was half as stable as this boat was.

Sling load time, Grammy wanted the machines moved, so we moved 'em! 354 views uploaded to YouTube on May 14, 2016. Removed 2022 because the commies in California think children should only play FPS games, don't let them do anything in the real world......

Grammy got a little wild with the camera there a few times, she said it was cold. (I guess putting your fingers in front of the lens warms them up?) ;-) 248 views uploaded to YouTube on Dec 28, 2013.

That time of the month again, we needed another round bale for the horses. The round bale is pushed all the way to the back of the box, so we needed to get the node of the tractor in so the sling we had would be able to reach it. Then we drag the bale to the end of the box, and pick it up from there. Not a super difficult job, but it's fairly tight and mistakes are not required or desired. B-) 209 views uploaded to YouTube Dec 28, 2013, not one of the more popular videos, but still deemed dangerous by YouTube.

The area was such a mess, so I decided to have Daniel just roll it flat with the excavator. At this point, we just wanted to be done with this mess, I'll rake the rocks out later... 54,584 views when I had to remove this from YouTube, it was uploaded on Aug 19, 2013. Tell me how "dangerous" this looks to you.

Every once in a while we go after the larger surface stones, and use them in our rock wall The Kubota K008-3 comes in pretty handy for this. This video had 3,246,922 views when I had to remove it from youtbe. I uploaded it on Sep 8, 2013. Although there are still videos with kids his age operating equipment on YouTube, mine had to be removed. Once the YouTube checkers dig in, you are done, and I had one strike left before they deleted my channel for good.z They kept sending my surveys after I deleted it asking how safe I felt on YouTube. (More like how safe did I feel FROM YouTube.)

Yup, some jobs are just all glory and flash. (This, is not one of those jobs.) 1,091 views uploaded to YouTube Jul 28, 2013
