Having a blast with our new M62

[MutzFarm]

Kubota use 3056.
Gambrel.
Running low on funds so had to cut cost on the grocery bill and the feed bill. Dang I got two raises.

Over and over again. Dad I wanna learn how to use the back hoe. I finally had time and gave in. Cost me quarter tank of fuel more less. A few hours. Now he will have memories for life. Wished I would of recorded more toward the end as he actually started to really get good. He was smoothing stuff out with the bucket, pushing spoils back while dumping more, etc. I think it was time and money well spent !!!

Your son is having the childhood I wish that I would have had!!!!

Can anyone explain how to change your HST filters without changing the fluid? Am I suppose to just drain it into clean buckets then pour it back in after the filter change? I'm assuming that removing the filters without draining the fluid will cause the fluid to run out of the filter inlet...

You won’t lose much fluid at all when you change The hst filter.

The hydraulic filter is another story. Some have jacked one side of the tractor up so they don’t lose as much. Other options are plugging the vent so it can’t drain out as fast. Or putting a shop vac on the vent.

Good parenting there with your 9 year old! He will never forget that experience.

Thanx. All I can do is try. He is just like me. Hates school, but interactive stuff like this...... O man it is on.

Mutz, thanks for the response on your trailer. I think I'm going to go with a Diamond C with the newly designed engineered beam goose neck when they come out. I think I want a 26 foot deck over. How wide is yours from the inside wheel wells? I'm thinking of 2-10K axles with 17" super singles.

My M7060 has filled R4 tires with a loader and a 1400 lb hydraulic box blade. I'd also like to carry my 55" EA Wicked Grapple. I bet all that weighs close to 10-11,000 lbs.

I’m convinced this is one of those internet urban legends - be prepared to catch a LOT of oil changing your filters. And unless your TLB, oil pans and shop are sparkling clean I wouldn’t be re-using that spilled hydraulic fluid. I ended up taking an oil bath changing the hydraulic filters when my 5 gallon oil pan started overflowing...

Anytime.

Mine is about 72"-74" between fenders. I would have to go measure it, but I know it is in that area. It is 102" wide everywhere else.

If the gooseneck is designed correctly then 20% of the weight should be on the truck.

I wouldnt hesitate to put that weight on mine.

I have two 7k axles. Total 14k pounds plus 20% is 16,800 lbs minus 5k for trailer weight puts me at 11,800lbs I can put on it. All this is considering everything is loaded perfectly.
The above is the way I see it. I'm not telling you that is a 100% correct though.

Also I have the 16 ply tires. Tires lets me do 15,500 if I remember correctly, but this has nothing to do with the information above. I recommend upgrading tires if that is an option.

I dont think a temp of 205 is bad depending if it is normal though. I wonder how high it gets when you think it is going bad.

Most engines today run at 190+. Some of the tractor truck / 18wheeler thermostats dont even open till it is at 215 degrees which IMO is CRAZY. I think that is when crap starts to warp. I think the 5.9 cummins in my dually doesnt open till about 210+. Still makes me uncomfortable, but thats emissions for you.

I know on the other tractor we got rid of sometimes I had to blow out the radiator every 30minutes in the summer cutting thick grass. Gets old in a hurry.

200+ isn't bad for engine coolant system, but you don't want your hydraulic system running there.

WOW that sounds like a lot of work.

My truck opens about 170. I won't let it get over 200. I'm not sure that the fan clutch isn't going bad. I've bought another one and haven't got it put on yet.

Here is the same video, but with a little music.

We do multiple things with our Kubota swiss army knife......I mean M62.
Here is our son working the thumb as he consolidates trash between our small roll off dumpsters we rent out.
