[@Futurebeefcake]

Hahaha your daughters cracking me up with her commentary

[@brochess049]

LOL LOL this was a very funny video your commentary really did it, looking forward to more videos keep doing what you doing

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Welcome to our channel. This is the style we use in most of our 280+ videos. We try to not take ourselves too seriously.

[@CJPhillips6648]

you have very nice parents. Your Grandpa, has a awesome farm!!

[@AM-kc3xg]

Your mom looks so good with straight hair.......my vote for sure!!!

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Hey now...

[@AM-kc3xg]

Meant in a most respectful way. :)

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+Aaron McMahon yea, just giving you some grief! Thanks for the compliment!

[@semco72057]

You all must have a nice looking garden after that lime, and fertilizer must have helped the garden so much, and the grass lawn also.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+Sidney Mathious we have great soil too, so easy to grow stuff here

[@mi2tn]

Yep, that's pretty much the way it worked for me. I have the same spreader. But when I did our garden everything got white including the tractor. If you want a white tractor it helps when you do the spreading when the wind is going in circles faster then you can move. Katriel hope you get to feeling better, wouldn't want you to miss out on things that happen without your approval.

[@KatrielMarks]

+mi2tn Thankfully I am getting better! Well, at least good enough to catch most things going on around here. However, a couple days ago, we had a box of donuts with like 7 donuts left... but this morning there were only one and half there. For some reason I have two suspects in mind.

[@mi2tn]

+Katriel Marks Dad and Mom wouldn't leave you with just one and half would they? I think they had visitors while you slept.

[@mi2tn]

LOL!!!

[@kevinstewart4806]

Hey Tim that's an awful big load for Johnny hahaha thank you

[@nicoweikert8297]

Thanks mr. Tim ;). This answer was heplfull.

[@shanelea3223]

Awesome work. Work as team.. from NZ

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Welcome! Thanks for the comment!

[@hlyautey]

You can do a home test for ph. Take some soil, add water and baking soda. If it foams, your soil is low ph. Add vinegar to a soil sample and if it foams it is alkaline.

[@jakeE46.325i]

is johnny hydrostatic drive or is it manual

[@TractorTimewithTim]

[@kabic7893]

Tim, what did you add to the spreaders handle to make it long enough to use from the tractor seat. I am pretty sure the stock handle is much shorter.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Neighbor Bob made this extended handle. He used some PVC pipe I think. CAn't remember for sure.

[@nicoweikert8297]

Hi Tim,What is Inside of the weights,which are on the Wheels. Is it Sand Or is everything of the Weight Steel.Sorry For my Bad englisch.Loves from Germany NICO

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+Nico Weikert I think it is concrete. There are two styles of wheel weights here in the US. These are plastic coated with concrete in them. The others are cast iron. I would prefer the cast iron, but they are much more expensive. I bought mine used at a big discount because folks don't really like the plastic/concrete version. I figured they would be good enough for now. If they break/split, I will get the cast iron version. I can provide the US part numbers if that would help you. Thanks for watchng!

[@timkd5vmv583]

I bet that spreader works a lot better now that you have the Heavy Hitch drawbar.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+Tim KD5VMV yes, getting that drawbar extended back a bit really helps

[@williamhackett2734]

Where do you get the spreader from that you push

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+William hackett any big box store. I got mine from neighbor Bob!

[@philipvanhorn2935]

Hay Tim, you should be using a dust mask for spreading lime on the garden. ...😷😷😷😷

[@joseluisflores45]

When i do small land i do by hand. lots of land i use the tractor. because you have to wash the tractor very well because of rust.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+jose luis fernandes yes, with fertilizer, it must be washed off. lime is different. It does not cause rust.

[@steveadams4009]

When you go from pelitized to ground lime you need to close the gate a lot.

[@davidroberts3223]

Use pelitized lime in your spreader works well.

[@B2Hives]

How many ton's per acre did you apply? farm fields take 2 tons / acre to raise the Ph 1 point. Secondary benefit, if you have mosquito problem, heavy lime will reduce or eliminate the mosquito.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

The soil test showed pH of 5.5, and recommended 110 lb per 1000 sq ft. This was over a year ago, but I attempted to achieve that amount. However, I put a combination of pelletized and powdered lime for short term and long term effectiveness.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Carson, How heavy does the lime need to be to reduce/eliminate mosquito? Are you saying that raising the pH from say 5.5 to say 6.8 will reduce mosquito? Or are you saying that you must pile the lime an inch deep on the ground? I'm just trying to get a feel for what you are saying. I have not applied lime to my yard. I was wondering if doing so might help reduce the mosquitos.

[@clemhawkins5837]

Tractor Time with Tim yu

[@B2Hives]

We had a public area, low land one rainy summer the mosquitos were growing in the grass. Applied a little over 2tons / acre and solved the mosquito problem. Called up the local Agriculture company. The lime treatment lasted a few years. I did the same at suburban location, spread at the same rate, it worked like a charm. The alternative was special chemicals applied by pest company at more than thousands of dollars.Lime is cheap, effective, non toxic, and good for the grass.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+Carson Wells Wow! Great story. I had no idea. Thanks for sharing.

[@georgepetrask8723]

How about a driveway salt spreader for winter use

[@TractorTimewithTim]

+george petrask hmm. I don't use salt... don't want to tear up my driveway.

[@deanareyunadubo1465]

[@banecrushr]

Drop spreader for lime, works much better then that rotor spreader, less dust and better placement on the ground of the lime.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Couldn’t be any worse! :-). Oh well, wasn’t a big enough area to matter!

[@harveyrousejr.2069]

A drop spreader works much better for a accurate application of lime or fertilizer.

[@craigflatley7370]

👍

[@rondavis8566]

Be Careful when working with Lime.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Now what are we in danger of???

[@johnclarke7534]

The only way to put that pulverized crap out is by hand. only put dolamite lime in my spreader. I learned the hard way.

[@jaxturner7288]

john Clarke don’t give up so easily, your not going to broadcast it but drop spreaders work with it just fine.

[@jilescochran3912]

Have you gotten the small one for three point lift yet ? I thing mine will hold 250 pds.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

No. I really have no need.

[@fiorevitola880]

A drop spreader would work much better for garden/field application. Next time maybe? LOL

[@Drew6709]

Katriel, I'm taller than my parents. and I rub it in. lol

[@legobuilder6590]

you should have used a roller before starting to spread the lime stone

[@harveyrousejr.2069]

That lime will dry your hands (and lungs if you inhale) out really bad.

[@jaxturner7288]

Harvey Rouse JR. safety sally for dry hands?? ..... Humm, well sunshine I don’t think farming is for you, I’ve heard there are successful makeup channels on KZbin, you might find more your fortá. Probably got adds for moisturizers n everything else your into.

[@azadkashmiri5772]

I thought you were going to use lime juice

[@CashJohnston]

1. Yep. Gotta use the tractor for that lime work "fur sher". 2. Commentator ought to sue parents for her height, that might help, and 3. Who won the tractor race?

[@KatrielMarks]

+Cash Johnston Suing does seem like a good idea. The only problem is that if I sue them, they might not pay for me to go to college.

[@bluezy261175]

I don't get it, why apply lime to your garden, you got to put it in a coconut and drink it all up...

[@TractorTimewithTim]

The soil becomes acidic. Lime is a base.

[@bluezy261175]

Oh I know, however, don't you know the song, Put the lime in the coconut by Harry Nilsson? kzbin.info/www/bejne/a33bdGaDYr6hndU
