I would imagine that he's already hurt himself and the tractor! There are more of that type operator than we care to admit.:eek:

There is "Run it like you own it".

"Run it like you stole it"

And "Run it like you rent it" :eek::eek:

It says he rented it. This is worse than wrecking your own tractor.
Listen to it again. He said he got it last fall to maintain his property, and has a snow blower for it.

Bet there aren't too many that were good operators when they got their first tractors either. I do agree he is very careless, and WILL get hurt .

Wow, I am a tractor novice and that was painful to watch!

It looks like the lower crossbar on the grill guard is already bent in the beginning of the video, so I wonder what he did to cause that? I am surprised that he didn’t rip out a hydraulic line or bend a steering rod doing that.

Saw this video several months ago when I was beginning my search for a new machine...it was anything but "tranquility".

Kubota and the tire manufacturers should hire him for durability testing. LOL.

I read the comments on the video. Man, people can be nasty when they are anonymous. I wish people would act with the same respect generally shown in person when they are hidden behind a computer screen.

Toothbar would have helped but not with the operators "enthusiasm" - I could barely watch this video.

lol enthusiasm is a great word.
I winced watching it too because I just had to replace a bent HST oil pipe and was doing nothing so enthusiastic.

A good example of what not to do. Including the attire. I'd never wear shorts and a t-shirt to do that kind of work.

Well I used my BX2670 with a Piranha Tooth Bar today for the first time. WOW what a difference it makes, defiantly worth every cent. I will say that the B2650 looks like a lot more tractor than mine. A Piranha Tooth Bar would probably work out great for him. Hope that guy doesn't get hurt working like he does. Some of my stuff pulled out real easy, others I had to dig out. Just took it slow, and got quite a bit done today.
