My husband is swamped with work, so I decided to learn how to drive our tractor to help move some dirt and clean up the homestead as a surprise for him. Thanks for the video!

My dad and I just bought this same tractor, we don't know crap about it. The guy who delivered it was able to quickly cover the basics but it's nice to have your video as a reference!

[OneManTrail]

As a person doing research before my first purchase, I just want to congratulate you on a fantastic video. Your tone and pace is super easy to follow along with and just makes me want to watch more. Great job.

[watershedoverlook]

Really well done Ed. I think you covered all the basics. As others have said, you have a great, calm, "judgement-free" presentation style that I think will really resonate with the target audience of this video. I could easily see you turning this into a series...functions, safety, implements, etc.

Also, loved the extra clips and...I really gotta' respect a man willing to cram himself into his loader bucket for the sake of his craft! Kudos my friend! 👍👏👍👏

[HAXMAN]

Great video Ed! Thanks for the shoutout! "the engines get hot. no. okay" 🤣

[OldDM]

Thank you from a first time tractor owner. I was delivered today

[margaretmatthews]

You are a true teacher, Eddie, thank you!!!! This household is receiving 1945 restored FARMALL tractor this weekend!!!! I enjoyed your BUCKET comment!!!!

[douglasvandyke]

Great comment about only using 4WD when you need it. A good reminder for a 84 year old with a much larger tractor. I enjoyed the whole video.

[gailw]

Thank you your video was very helpful. I am 73 years old and recently lost my husband. I only had one lesson on our Kabota. Now I know a lot more and I will keep your video for further knowledge.

[mycatisfatnanner]

Great info! Loved the part of you in the bucket, good unexpected laugh!

[JRsVsO]

Very well done video, sir. I've never owned a tractor, and the last time I drove one was around 1985, bailing hay as one of my first jobs as a youngster. I've been saving for a long time and am finally able to get a used one to work on my small getaway property and my friends' 73 acres that needs a lot of work. And if I get a chance to down the line, turn it into some spare money, just to pay for up keep on it.

Thank you for all this helpful info. I came in search of how to open the hood, and you skipped that part. You reached down and opened the hood without telling us how. That was the only thing I came to YouTube today to learn. My battery was dead and I couldn’t figure out how to open the hood. After going through other videos, I learned there is a circle ring like thing you need to pull while lifting the hood from the bottom. The ring is on the left side as you face the tractor, near the front, at the bottom edge of the hood. You also have to pull the grill bar forward out of the way to lift the hood.

Just had my 2601 delivered today. My first tractor ever. Thanks for the video. Helps greatly!

[dougbas]

Using BX24 (2006) Kubota. Rototilling, front snow blower, FEL, Backhoe. I am 78yo and would be dead by now without it. Young and strong and old and smart. 🤣

If the hydraulics seem to be working slowly check that knob under your seat. Operates the hydraulic flow.

[brightonanderson]

Thank you! Just bought a house in the country and it came with a Kubota 2350. I need it ready to snowblow before winter hits here in Canada and I had no idea what all the levers were for. Makes my zeroturn look like a kids toy.

[mikeofalltradez]

Appreciate the video! Big help. Your calm demeanor and pace has a Bob Villa feel to it! Perfect for learning manly things!

[rickhoro]

This was such a phenomenally useful video, and I love your presentation style. Subscribed.

[scottlamers]

Nice! Thank you - actually nice to help explain to another person that isn't inclined when needed..
