Placing 1400lb logs with a Kubota BX!!! Can it be done?

Operation25 hp & underKubota BX23S

Overview

This video zeroes in on a real-world stress test: can a Kubota BX23S, rated at roughly 700 lb lift capacity, actually move 1,400 lb logs onto a sawmill? The creator works through two logs of different sizes, describes rear tires lifting off the ground, improvises with counterweights and a chainsaw, and hits genuine limits. Useful for BX owners curious about loader capacity under heavy, awkward loads.

A hobby homestead owner-operator channel where the host documents real tasks on their own property, mistakes and improvisation included.
