Removing Kubota BX25 Loader - Timed Test

[CompactTractorFan]

There is a lot of talk about the time it takes to drop the loaders on various tractors. Here is a video of me removing the BX25's loader. First time doing a video like this. 75 seconds!!! :dance1:

Nice!

Almost like you know what your doing!

I usually have a beer break between the release of the mounts and the line disconnect...So I'm a little slower..

I betya CompactTractorFan could shave a good 10 seconds off that if he
put in some PANTS.

Pretty darned neat, yeah I said neat.:thumbsup:

CompactTractorFan,
Thanks. Nice video. I still haven't removed my FEL.

OK, so you can remove the QC's one-handed -never tried that. Pretty slick. And nice video. Waiting on the prequel now (i.e., putting on the loader)

 

[AStanton]

You are a genius among Kubota geniuses.

 

[RaydaKub]

Ha! Nice job! But you could have shaved off time by not going quite so high to begin with. Of course, you'd take up that time again by putting the plugs on the end of your hoses and connectors. :laughing:

The job's not done until you put the hydraulic caps on.

I have no problems doing it one handed either. In fact, its only way I can prevent dripping oil on my hands. just start at top and work way down to bottom/last one. The only tip I can give you is be sure you don't lift too high and put disconnect hose down on side so the oil don't drip on next connector. hands oiless .

The job's not done until you put the hydraulic caps on.

:thumbsup::thumbsup: darn right. 40 seconds penalty

OTOH - nice video compacttractorfan! I am camera shy so I am glad its you in video.

Did you win a prize?

GLOVES :mur: real men don't wear NO stinking GLOVES, you could have cut 10 seconds off your time.:drink:

Nice video. The BX2200 is not as easy and you have to wear gloves.

 

[CompactTractorFan]

Thanks for the comments! :thumbsup:

As far as the hyd. line caps........if I have the loader off for just a little while, I usually don't put them on.

...and I use the gloves so I don't get hyd. oil on my hands...

 

[CompactTractorFan]

Did you win a prize?

Not unless you are offering one.

Might want to hold off on the prise's...

Lemme find myself an orange(ish) shirt first and have a crack at that. I have
never completely done the deed. Actually CTF was moving right along,
I don't think I can beat that...

CTF enjoy your crown............... for now.:laughing:

Rules;

1-You Gotta wear an orange(ish) shirt (gloves and shorts optional, some think there a safety issue)

2-P-Brake must be set if there is no one in the seat at all times.

3- One submission per man, no do-overs :laughing:

4- One person, no helpers.

5- You must be in the seat if your operating controls.

6- You have to start body off the tractor.

7- Time starts when you start the tractor (shave 2sec of CTF's time)

8- Time ends after P-Brake is set and key turns off.

9- Bonus points for style. (By popular vote only)

10- DQ for being unsafe.

Takes longer when you have your seatbelt on and a beer to put down
