100 Years of Bolens (1919-2019) Our celebration

[@MyClutteredGarage]

I had a Bolens hydrostatic in the 1980’s. Serious garden tractor!

[@GardenTractorBoy]

Yes I agree, they are great and far better than anything made these days. Take care

[@GT-etc]

Good job, GTB! That's a beautiful Bolens. It's one of my favorite brands. -Kate G

[@GardenTractorBoy]

Thanks, we really like our Bolens. For some odd reason KZbin decided to switch off comments overnight on our video about LAGTMag and it was a few hours before we realised. Since launching the video we have had 5 people asking us for more information about a subscription so I hope they and others take out a subscription. Take care

[@RustyGlovebox]

Very nice job, What a great collection of Bolens tractors. To have them all running and operating is a great achievement Joseph.

[@GardenTractorBoy]

Thanks, keeping them running and working at the turn of a key is a big challenge

[@sandhollowhomestead6972]

A real fine presentation of Bolen's tractors! They sound strong and seem to turn quite easy. Thank you for letting us hear and see them run. I've collected a few more tillers this year and my plan is to get my shop presentable to do some videos working on the tillers and two of my 1941 Farmall BN tractors. I can hardly wait!

[@GardenTractorBoy]

Thanks. I am really looking forward to seeing your tillers and your tractors. We need to get some heat in our workshop, it is not a great place to be this time of year

[@seamusdoherty5362]

I always liked the 1054 I would like to buy myself one when im older

[@GardenTractorBoy]

The 1054 is a great machine and it is incredible what they can do with only 10hp. It was one of the most popular Bolens imported so hopefully you will find one

[@PastPreserver]

Cool great collection they all sound great. I didn't realize that it was 100 years of Bolens.

[@GardenTractorBoy]

Thanks, I really like your Bolens too. Your Grounds Keeper on the end of the line up would make it perfect :-)

[@PastPreserver]

@@GardenTractorBoy Your welcome, thank you it really would but I need it for my line up lol I want to find a lawn keeper then I can have all 3 sizes I have a Hesston Front runner 140 that is kind of like the Bolens it is a little smaller than the Groundskeeper but bigger than the Estate Keeper. I also have some Bolens Husky and handy ho style walk behind garden tractors as well. What I really want to find is a Bolens Ridemaster thats been a hard one to find for a reasonable price. I'm sure you will find one just getting it shipped over there I think will be the hard part. Keep up the great work loving the videos. 👍

[@LouisianaTractorworks]

That is a lot of good running tractors! I like the 64 900, 75 G14, and I really like that 64 EK7!! That thing is cool!! lol Enjoyed seeing all of them! Have a good week Joseph!!

[@GardenTractorBoy]

Thanks, yes the EK7 is very cool. When we have tractor friends visit, it is the first tractor they want to take for a ride

[@Hukon]

Nice collection!

[@GardenTractorBoy]

Thank you very much. Take care

[@RCAFpolarexpress]

Good evening Joseph !!! You a very large collections of Bolens tractors !!! That was a nice RAF ROUNDEL on the grass that you made !!! LOL I recognise the tractor HT 23, Joe has the same !!! Very well made video !!! Cheers !!!

[@GardenTractorBoy]

Thanks, I think that circle on the grass will be on there until spring lol

[@RCAFpolarexpress]

@@GardenTractorBoy LOL you should painting like the RAF !!! You may end up with a free airshow !!! Cheers !!!

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? Well Joseph you have a pretty good line up of Bolens equipment there!!! And you know all about each of them too!!! That is so nice to see you take an interest in these not only from driving them but in repairing and maintaining them too!!! Which one is your favorite? I'm going to guess the last one, the HT23, the biggest one!!! Am I right? LOL Take care and have a good week!!!

[@GardenTractorBoy]

Thanks Mike. I don't really have a favourite, I love them all for different reasons. The Estate Keeper EK7 is a lot of fun, the HT23 is so easy to use, the tube frame's are so versitile and the Versa-a-matic on the Ride-a-matic is very cool. I hope you have a great week too.

[@sweetwaterdiaries5292]

Great video! Love your collection!

[@GardenTractorBoy]

Thanks for the comment, it is appreciated. It is great to have so many tractors running

[@gerrybateman5308]

Many thanks Gerry

[@themowerman]

Hi mate .. nice lot of mowers you have there

[@GardenTractorBoy]

Thanks 👍 We have collected these over many years and now have a very large collection

[@MissouriOldTimer]

that is a very nice collection of Bolens, I didn't know they were so popular in the UK to have that many different models.

[@GardenTractorBoy]

Thanks, they are very rare in the UK and we are very lucky to have found so many. Most models made it over to the UK but it is impossible to know for sure until one crops up

[@patmosher8884]

I have a 120 suburban Bolens. I have problems with no reverse any ideas?

[@GardenTractorBoy]

This is not a Bolens model we know anything about. We would suggest posting the problem on the Bolens section of the Garden Tractor Talk forum or the Bolens Facebook group. Take care

[@CountryLivingWithTheHarnishs]

WOW GREAT VIDEO most of the tractors are older then me and i am old LOL .Or i feel old anyway nice collection of tractor keep up the good work

[@GardenTractorBoy]

Thanks, they are all older than me lol. It is hard work keeping this many tractors working. Thanks for watching and commenting

[@TheCanadianBubba]

Thats a lot of batteries to keep ! or did you swap a couple up through the filming ? In either Case (ha ha, almost a pun} that is quite the collection, and obviously well cared for ! Great days to you !

[@GardenTractorBoy]

Like the pun :-) All our running tractors have good batteries and are ready to jump on and use. The only thing we did differently for the video is to push them outside to start them up, to give a better view. We want to get more of our tractors running too, so plenty of projects coming up

[@oologahgardentractorandcha3055]

Great video!

[@GardenTractorBoy]

Thanks Alain, not as impressive as your line ups................yet :-)

[@stevenhockney8702]

At last a donut!! lol

[@GardenTractorBoy]

I think that donut will be on the lawn until spring

[@RyanTreks]

Missing the QT16 (or more modern remake 1669) model of Bolens. It's transmission is controlled by a foot petal (toe is forward, heel is reverse....that simple). And the deck lifts with a lever which is GREAT to get over certain terrain. I HATE the modern mower. A newer model Bolens was given to me. After cursing at it and hating it, I gave it away. I couldn't stand it !!! Fortunately at that same time I found a 1669 model and LOVING my mowing again. My QT16 needs to be restored.

[@GardenTractorBoy]

You do not see many QT16's in the UK but I will look out for them. Thanks for watching and commenting

[@fordF-pm1le]

Do you have any g10s

[@GardenTractorBoy]

Yes, we have three G10's but only one is running at the moment

[@gerrybateman5308]

Hi please could you tell me what size tube frame my 1050 is as i beleive it can only work a certain size rotavator. Check me out on youtube bolens working cheers Gerry

[@GardenTractorBoy]

All tube frame rotavators should fit your 1050 except a Bolens 600 rotavator. If you have a look at our video of the Dentill show in 2019, we have a tube frame rotavator on our 1054. We have checked out your channel and remembered that we commented on a few videos a while back, but we are up to date now. We are in Norfolk and let us know if we can help in anyway

[@doseofcodclips5522]

You want to buy my old one and two west woods for 30£

[@GardenTractorBoy]

Do you have any more details?

[@gerrybateman5308]

Hi are you on face book . GERRY
