Lucas demonstrates lifting firewood totes and logs, discusses the BX's roughly 700-lb rated lift capacity and his 2,000-PSI hydraulic pressure workaround, and honestly addresses the tractor's limits for heavier loads. Worth watching for small-tractor owners weighing the clamp-on-versus-quick-attach tradeoff, though note the forks were provided by the brand.
A hobby homesteader channel sharing first-time impressions from their own property, though the forks were supplied by Artillian, which colors the entirely positive assessment.
Yes, the video shows a noticeable improvement; the clamp-on bucket forks could not even tip the tote off the ground, while the Artillian forks lifted it a foot and a half to two feet.
The Kubota BX lift capacity is rated at about 700 pounds, though the owner runs hydraulic pressure at 2,000 PSI to lift a bit more than that.
Not safely according to the video; a full tote can weigh 1,500 to 600 pounds or more, which the owner says requires a bigger tractor than the BX.
Yes, the video states clamp-on bucket forks bend and dent the bucket and move the load two feet further from the pin, lowering lift capacity.
