A NEW SUBSOILER FOR COMPACT TRACTORS 🚜

Today we've got the Summit TX25 and the John Deere 2038R. First we're using a snow pusher to push out some watermelons and pumpkins from our garden. It's a pretty unusual use for a snow pusher, we admit. But it worked great! Then we try out the first attachment we have in from Oregon Tool, a subsoiler. We needed a tractor with a 3-Pt that sits up higher, so we switch to the 2 Series John Deere. Aside from a hydraulic line to our top link coming loose, everything was a success!

[@haroldjones1629]

Punkins are great deer feed and the seeds are a natural dewormer.

[@DFWrancher]

I use my subsoiler to remove small stumps, just make a pass on all 4 sides and my 5075e pops them out all day long. I stick to smaller ones, works fantastic

[@dcidci1012]

Your vids are truly educational, Thank you.

[@tcmits3699]

Great video nice drone footage, a large pumpkin farm used a large 12" dia. plastic drain pipe for pusher blade. Doesn't damage pumpkins and no dirt build-up, sport stadium's also use same principle for pushing snow as not to damage turf. Once again thanks for these videos

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Yeah, I think I've seen them do that at stadiums before

[@RobertSchmidt-xl3ve]

Love all your videos and how clean all your tractors all! Could you do a video on how you clean them, especially buffing them out? Thanks!

[@edporter9355]

just a thought . You may want to warn a novice tractor owner when using a subsoiler or a deep plow about the possibility of snagging a strong root in which if the operator isn't prepared in the mind and doesn't know how to react immediately that the tractor will come up from the front and topple over backwards on top of them . I have known more than one family that has lost a loved one that way....Michigan

[@mgw2908]

Not sure this person has ever used a subsoiler, sounds like an armchair expert

[@brandongrosse5440]

Nice video subsoiling spacing is 24-30 inches food for thought

[@jaypeerobot3745]

Why wouldn't you work the pumpkins into the ground for fertilizer? I'm sure you have a small discer attachment somewhere!

[@rodbagley1686]

The greenhouse sells pumpkins for Halloween and whatever is left over he feeds to the cows. They seem to love then too.

[@paybax]

Loving using these to run/pull waterlines too 👌

[@justanotherviewer52]

That subsoiler looks like it works really well.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

It did work well for sure, thanks for watching :)

[@theElderberryFarmer]

Clever use for the snow pusher, sir! I think you'll have less trouble with water causing washout and erosion if you run your rows across the hill rather than up/down the hill. If the grade is too steep to operate your tractor across the hill, maybe consider angling the rows somewhat. Up/down the hill will cause you water runoff problems for sure. Take care and God Bless.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Agreed, think I talked about going sidehill too...kind of checkerboard the whole thing.

[@theElderberryFarmer]

@@GoodWorksTractors I mean that your planting rows should run cross-hill to minimize water runoff and erosion, not the subsoiling. As long as you break through a hardpan layer, the direction of the subsoiling isn't all that important.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

@@theElderberryFarmer Ahh, good point! That didn't even cross my mind. Thanks!

[@Chris_L034]

people generally till up or plow under their extra pumpkins and watermelons.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Was easy enough to move them out of the way

[@timefarmer444]

Free chicken feed

[@martyh299]

Ahhhh! The tried and true pumpkin pusher! A seldom used but oh so wonderful fall attachment! So glad Courtney that you brushed off the summer dust and brought it out to play! 😂 Awesome video Courtney!

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Haha, very useful tool even if only used once a year!

[@jims3650]

Deer love them, so take them to your food plot.

[@normanreed572]

Only suggestion I have is you probably should till your plot across the slope instead of up and down. Less erosion, or less chance of it.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Seems something had been eating them

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Yeah, I mentioned that in the video, need to run some passes sideways

[@MrDoyle07]

“Pushing Pumpkins”, sounds like a rock band 😁 That just caught my attention there when you did that. Kynna like me pushing snow with me loader bucket. Often we have to improvise and use what we have.

[@melissasmess2773]

I bought the Titan subsoiler, has adjustable depth and a safety shear bolt, nice tool for removing roots.

[@michaeloglesby7866]

It's a lot cheaper than the Oregon Subsoiler.

[@PurpleCollarLife]

Pumpkin pusher - interesting use of the snow pusher. That subsoiler is much better quality than the one we tried on our channel.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Haha, yeah first for me :)

[@firewoodblake1243]

Deer love pumpkins. Im not sure if you are allowed to bait deer in Michigan but in Florida we are allowed to bait on Private land. Pumpkins work awesome.

[@PeaceIntheValley]

roasted pumpkin seeds are the best snacks!

[@JCWren]

Now I want to know how well a snowblower will work on pumpkins.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Haha, I think I saw a Ventrac clip doing that

[@MrDoyle07]

That’s a hysterical vision. Like something a cinematographer would use as a first scene in a horror movie. LOL😂

[@rodbagley1686]

That would be fun to see. Pumpkin chucking!

[@kenputer56]

Thats a nice pumpkin pusher you got there.

[@waldnernick1]

I am wanting something just like the sub soiler to do a 5-6" wide trench for drainage pipe, electric runs, etc. Do they make something like that? I've looked but the sub soiler is the closest I have seen.

[@username34159265]

SIX INCHES?!? What are you planning to mount it to, a Cat D8 dozer? With a compact or utility tractor, you'd need an active digging cutter like a Ditch Witch or the traditional trenching bucket on a backhoe, this video shows the struggle to pull a 1/2" wide bar at 24" deep: 6" wide is right out. Nonetheless, here's a cool video on a similar build style that, appropriately miniaturized, might be something you could find or fabricobble to efficiently lay low-voltage landscaping wire, shallow, small sprinkler lines, or possibly direct-burial electric lines if your jurisdiction, soil, and tractor can get it deep enough: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6jOon9nmZyZbc0

[@01mustang05]

Good example of why you need a cutting disk in front of the shank and why you need a two shank setup - one behind each compacting tire.

[@70Superbird]

Another great video Courtney. This one was very relaxing with the music and excellent videography. Kudos to the quadcopter pilot! I'm assuming Chris is the pilot.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Glad you enjoyed...yeah, Chris is behind the camera all the time. If it were me, you'd just see it crash all the time and be out of focus haha!

[@70Superbird]

By the way, I live in Washington, right above Oregon. It's pronounced "ORE-uh-g'n". It's a beautiful state if you stay away from the big cities.

[@parkersontheroad1487]

I haven’t watched the whole video yet but you should be tilling those pumpkins into your garden. They are packed full of nutrients for your soil

[@NoName-ml5yk]

you want all those pumpkin seeds in there

[@PeaceIntheValley]

Question on the subsoiler: It looks like it goes down almost 24" into the soil. Should people be calling 811 if they use this subsoiler (certainly in town)? I know gas lines are no deeper than 18" from my own experience. I had a friend who was trenching in a field and hit a gas main. Didn't call 811 because he believed there was nothing out in the country.

[@rexb6478]

Chickens love pumpkins or till the pumpkins into the garden as compost?

[@GoodWorksTractors]

I need some chickens!

[@ebinmaine]

Good tip on the Rimguard. I use it too.

[@benfranklinification]

Good product

[@kipcudd7253]

I was gonna say all you need to do is put up a solar fence and turn some pigs loose in there and they till the ground take care of the pumpkins then next spring till it up and plant corn you'll have great crop and people will come and pick it, thed shred it and till it up. Easy plot to take care of.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Haha, easy as that!

[@kipcudd7253]

@@GoodWorksTractors yep!

[@TelescopeJunky]

Courtney one of my hoses connected to my hydraulic top link loosened up as well after a few uses. I found that when lifting the 3PH the line was being pushed causing the line's connection to have a twisting force in the loosening direction applied to it. The hose is just a bit too long really. What I did was turn the hose connection into a spot where it did not push the hose connection anymore when lifting the 3PH. Hope this helps my friend!

[@terrygroce1594]

impressive

[@karl-egertdaskov6217]

im actually bought my very first tractor last week and it nothing fancy and really different its a belarus mtz 50 i believe made between 60s and 70s dont know the exact year its a full sized tractor but little on the small size its 2wd with manual transmission rear diff locks and 2 outlets for hidrolics from factory it has a gab and starts with any weather has 3 engines a electrik engine that starts a 400cc gas engine that starts a 55 horse 4 silinder water cooled diesel engine (my dad had a 18 horse 2 silinder aircooled tractor t16 was the model ) it also comes with all the leaks you could ever want and almost 2 doors

[@renelorentzen5756]

Hi from Denmark 😊 Does this attachment works with the summit traktor? I have the European equliant model Solis 😅

[@dcidci1012]

The JD whines but the Summit don't ? Does Summit have a aluminum transmission or cast iron ?

[@jimmydykes7961]

I no till with cover crops due to erosion,but I wonder have you ever heard of farming on the contour?

[@randalmiddleton8068]

That drone view looks like a crazy fella pushing around a veggie salad... maybe the cridders will chew on it over the winter. I'm gonna need a subsoiler for my odd-ball 2025R, have a somewhat smaller option???

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Unfortunately nothing smaller than these…wonder if yours raises high enough?

[@randalmiddleton8068]

@@GoodWorksTractors I believe it might now, since I'm changing out the left arm linkage to an adjustable one like the right side. That hopefully will give me another added 4" of height... we'll find out this weekend.

[@daveschmidt5713]

The local squirrels love pumpkins.

[@tuckermcneese239]

First, the channel is GREAT and I continue to learn a lot! Forgive me if I missed the episode, but what is the reason about the shift from the videos with the John Deere 1025R to the Summit? Just asking.

[@dennyfox8658]

Feed the wild life

[@cliffpalermo]

No till starts with proper subsoiler preparation. Its the practice following that counts.

[@mochouinard]

I'll probably get something like this when I get a tractor and modify it to use it to lay down pipe in the ground.

[@Kaelland]

That's a fairly popular use of subsoilers, along with using them to lay wire in the ground.

[@connermillard3003]

Could you guys ship up to Canada at some point

[@109jacosta]

I cut 4 inches off my subsoiler. Works great with my 1025r.

[@bladewiper]

A snow pusher could be used to push brush. Not as good as a grapple, but better than a bucket.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Good idea

[@wrfarms9741]

Unless John Deere has changed/upgraded from the aluminum transmission/differential case on their compact tractors, I would caution anyone about using something like a sub-soiler. This puts a HUGE amount of stress on that area compared to normal operations and I suspect is a great way to find the breaking limits of these tractors. These are compact tractors..........NOT agricultural tractors. More or less a much upgraded lawn/garden tractor. While planting trees, a contractor asked me if I would sub-soil the areas we were planting with my John Deere 4410 compact tractor and I refused. When I told him the transmission/differential case was made of aluminum, he TOTALLY understood my refusal. When I observed how hard sub-soiling was on his John Deere 5205, I immediately knew I made the correct decision. You might get away with doing this in soft, rock free, garden soil but I would be VERY careful.

[@haroldsmith8398]

Two things may help the tractor work better is loading up the bucket full and keep the dif lock engaged on the straight runs. Now I must ask why you didn't take all those beautiful pumpkins and water melons to a non-profit food bank and help people eat AND GET A BIG TAX DEDUCTION 🤔, Even if you had to pay some kids to pick it, I think it would be better than what you did.

[@richardbarreau2844]

Looks like some produce was harmed in the making of this video.

[@markziegler3551]

put the pumpkins out in the woods. The deer will find them. same with the watermelons.

[@bradyglass69]

Leaving the leftover, rotting vegetables in the garden would've been better for the soil come next spring. Instead of pushing them out of the way why not just run over them and smash them into the dirt?
