It covers why they chose Kubota, beet-juice-filled tires, the 70hp engine, quick-attach loader, weak ~1,200 lb lift capacity, A/C, the clutch-and-brake stopping method, and the bucket/forks/skeleton bucket implements they actually use daily. Best for buyers wanting long-term ownership impressions rather than specs or a walkthrough of controls.
Posted by the Lumber Capital Log Yard channel, an owner-operator business sharing hands-on impressions from daily use of their own tractor.
The owner says it can lift about 1,200 pounds, calling it not a lot of weight capacity, though they note not to hold them to the exact number.
Yes, it has air conditioning, which the owner says is nice since it is the one machine they have that lets them cool down, unlike their other tractors.
You have to use the clutch and brake together to stop, which the owner found awkward and different from their other tractors that used simple front and back levers.
The tractor has stayed in good shape with no majorly expensive repairs, aside from an air conditioner issue they had to fix.
