I notice those too but at least he's pushing the trees away from them. Might be the reason for clearing that area.

Telephone cable. That Kubota needs 1000 more lbs on the 3pt. That box blade was no where near enough. Would not have been near as spectacular video, but would have been safer, and more work would have been done. Would have been nicer for the front axle and driveline too.

Maybe 800-1000 lbs in the rear tires too.

Still seems like an unnecessary risk to be thrashing trees around in them. Cutting them at 4' still leaves plenty to leverage while pushing them over.

I think Ted was going nuts to prove a point: the grapple is plenty tough. I seriously doubt he does that unless Travis is shooting a video for marketing/educational purposes.

Tires are filled and around 1,000 pounds on the 3pt hitch.

Well Said and Exactly Right for the most part. Teds a bit rough anyway, but that was over the top! :thumbsup:

I thought I was hard on my little BX but that was quite a ride! Ditto on buying used from Ted.:laughing:

Also, I thought pushing with the grapple lid was a big No-No.
