We Need a Grapple, But the R14s and Bucket Got It Done!

Implements & attachments25 hp & underKubota BX23S

Overview

A hobby homestead owner-operator uses a Kubota BX23S with R14 tires and front bucket to clean up felled trees and brush from a soggy, low-lying area. The main practical focus is how the R14s handle muddy ground without needing diff lock, alongside bucket work moving brush and large wood pieces. Light on specs and settings; most useful to BX23S owners curious about R14 tire performance in wet conditions.

An owner-operator hobby homestead channel sharing real work sessions on their own property, with no apparent commercial or dealership affiliation.
