Kubota BX25 Hard At Work. The Big Dig Of 18.

It was time to see what my new Kubota could do. I've been wanting to expand my shop out in all directions and to do so meant digging into the side of the mountain.
I'm glad to report that the little BX25 worked great and handled the massive dig project like a trooper!

Leave the backhoe on for ballast when using the front end loader. The tractor is less tippy and you get less wheel spin.
Use the backhoe to loosen the compacted soil and the front end loader to remove material.

Practice makes perfect, you find what works for you . The Kabota seems to be the perfect size, doesn't trip over it's self .

If only you had a Piranha tooth bar, it would take half the effort, enjoyed the vid!

Might want to break that up with the backhoe first

[MrHunterseeker]

Eh, that foundation was to the retaining wall rock you tore out. That was a retaining wall not a rock wall. I think you are going to have problems with your hillside slipping in now that you tore out the retaining wall. That was obviously stepped down from the railroad ties to give water runoff a place to go to prevent the hillside slipping into the house/garage.

Almost takes the work out of it as my dad says.

Sounds like you dug out ~20 cubic yards. How long did it take for the dig?
