Compact Tractor Lover Gift Ideas!

[@thomascantral2497]

Tim I just wanted to let you know I took your advice and bought a set of edge tamer's for my 7 ft snow bucket . I live in Rapid City SD . We had 20 inches of snow with 59 mph winds . I spent 7 hours on my 4066 M clearing the road and driveways for the neighbors. Didn't tear up any grass or dig into the gravel. Keep the videos coming.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

WooHoo! Shoulda mentioned the edge tamers in this episode. ...but SO MANY cool products to show, hard to get to all of them!

[@scurvynebula184]

i learned of the locknlube from your channel in the past and decided to get my own locking coupler through your amazon store. Also was in need of a better grease gun while looking for one found out they also have the Pistol Grip Grease Gun so got that which actually comes with the locking coupler. While on there website used there find a dealer and there is actually a dealer for locknlube 20 mins from home sadly had wrong one, they carry in stock the professional version but for my use the standard is just fine so went through amazon. In using the product which received last week it really is nice to uses almost no mess, grease goes in not out and around grease zerk, and no force needed to lock coupler on/ no more holding in place. A Great Product!

[@davidharris6581]

Really nice to see Katriel back in a TTWT video. She is so cute and so funny and looks like she would be so much fun to hang out with. I know you are a proud papa Tim and with very good reason. I just wish you could have gotten her on a tractor. Love to watch her operate. Especially when she sticks her tongue out the corner of her mouth because she is concentrating so hard. Looks like a bunch of great gift ideas. I know something you need and do not have. A 39 gallon transfer tank and a battery operated pump to go in the back of Clifford so you can carry tractor fuel in the truck. Also, I find a gasoline powered air compressor indispensable. Especially on dusty jobs. Tim, do you have a 1/2" battery powered impact wrench yet? They have made leaps and bounds with that technology and those things are really handy now. Especially for lug nuts.

[@dustinnorthamer8532]

The attachment we use alot it a trailer mover. Handier than we ever thought it would be. I reccomend to anyone with machinery and trailers!!!

[@tjsastrophotography125]

Got the isotunes free and they are good as well. They do keep the volume to 79 Db but work great once you get them fitted properly.

[@CapeAnnImages]

I'm easy to buy for. I get excited using a milk crate loaded with granite rocks for my rear weights mounted with coat hanger wire! I do like the grease gun . I had one similar to that back in the 70's but it grew feet down at the boat yard and slipped away!

[@allenhunt3070]

Finally! The neat grapple is revealed. Those are some good suggestions.

[@merrymanrc]

That is a nice cab it gonna to keep dry when plowing snow and keep that ice cold wind off you

[@cubleycat]

Oh my goodness the discount code for Bluetooth Hearing Protection ISOtunes works here in the UK, awesome :-)

[@ilmo2313]

Hi Katriel. Nice gift ideas and I like the cab. Waiting for the cab install video.

[@stevesspeedshop1559]

Quick connect hydraulic auger. Third function to run it. Forwards or backwards. No more getting the auger stuck or neck pain looking backwards.

[@Blast357]

would be cool to have you talk about top and tilt cylinders. adding couples of remotes on your tractor. maybe adapt a cylinder and a remote on your front quick attach ? (no more get out of the cab) etc... just ideas!

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Would be fun to get a hydraulic top link. ...maybe next year. We've had so much to do this year that we haven't had time anyway!

[@bobs7622]

An attachment I haven’t seen you use/review is PTO driven chipper/ shredder.

[@chrisdowing1775]

I have purchased the LockNLube but haven't used it yet. My 2018 1025R is now about 18 months old so after winter I'll lube her up. She has less than 30 hours so I haven't done much maintenance yet.

[@eosjoe565]

Do you have a loader, backhoe or mid-mount mower? The grease interval for the loader and backhoe is every 10 hours. They are probably two of the most grease thirsty attachments on the tractor. The mower deck is every 25 hours. At 30 hrs over 18 months you should have already been greasing it regularly. Depending on usage it does not hurt to give these attachments a little shot of grease at more frequent intervals. The bushing pins on the loader and backhoe LOVES grease.

[@chrisparenti2461]

Man, katreil was hitting hard with the come backs and questions 😜. Great to see you two together. A good snow ball is a good wake up call at 7am😂

[@tpkirkp]

Hey Tim, Tim here in the SF Bay Area, thanks for handling the LockNLube kit. Gonna order me one right now. Take care and keep up the great vids. Man you're getting enough equipment to start your own dealership, LOL. Have a great day, cheers.

[@gregnewlin1074]

Grease is a wonderful thing when you need to take things apart.

[@Dan-nj8du]

Looking forward to the OTC review. I've read some users have clearance issues with the joystick and steering wheel. I have a 1023e without the adjustable steering wheel. Curious to hear your thoughts when you get to it. Thanks again for the time you and your family put into these videos.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Install coming tomorrow...but really no discussion/review. It will be unique approach, with Katriel interview audio covering the entire episode. Will be interesting to hear your opinion. Of course, this won’t be the last otc episode.

[@Dan-nj8du]

@@TractorTimewithTim Definitely interested in the installation video. Any other concerns will no doubt be addressed as you use it. Thanks again.

[@anthonjensen4147]

i believe you are looking for something like a spearhead twiga 320, it wil fit perfectly on Johnny 2. It also comes in a 120 version. The spearhead have alot of different attachments to fit your needs i hope, and it works similar to the ventrac boom. So if you some day no longer have the ventrac you will still have the boomclipper, to cut the very steep hillsides you sometimes bump into

[@anthonywolfe3051]

Well she's got heart. Yes the Lock & Lube is awesome I have one it's the s*** only thing that gets messy is how much grease you put out the other side

[@jeramiebell5337]

How about a Flail Mower. Love what you do, keep having fun.

[@dandelionacresoh9064]

I think you could use a good power broom great for pushing off dirt/mud , leaves , snow off of sidewalks and driveways hope to see you with one soon..!

[@semco72057]

Many of those items would be nice for me, but the IRS will get all my Christmas money and more from me. Those are nice items for the owners of tractors.

[@stevenmichaud8733]

Battery operated grease gun, great option for your tractor !!!!

[@MarkSmith-ut2eu]

Great channel! Another gift idea Home Depot has a 250 lb toque wrench on sale for $49

[@BradMyers]

I know I like the Isotunes Free. I used them on my tractor last weekend and they worked great. I also used them while I was chainsawing. Worked great both times. Thanks again Tim!

[@TractorTimewithTim]

So you were able to wrestle them away from the wife!?!

[@BradMyers]

@@TractorTimewithTim yes, I purchased a dozen Krispy Kreme Donuts and while she was distracted, I grabbed them and headed out the door with them. :)

[@FishFind3000]

7:35 technically grease is oil just with thickeners so it says in place.

[@photocontrol]

That hydraulic coupler decompression tool would sure be handy! Nice cab on Johnny!

[@vincentpira]

Rotary broom? I can’t remember if you have had one on the channel before.

[@MrNosajwhitey]

This is actually a pretty good episode of quality gift ideas awesome seeing dad n daughter episode's too

[@dieselking6812]

I’ve being in my tech class and there is two grease guns on top of the flammables cabinet never touched

[@barelystablefarm7151]

Nice cab tease!! We want video NOW! LOL

[@davidhosmer1424]

Great seasonal video. First - it is always nice to see Katriel. I enjoyed the original video of the soft cabs so I am looking forward to the install and use video. The rear blade looks to be a bargain when you don't need a super duty blade. I don't even own a tractor and I love the channel and really enjoy looking at attachment videos. Take care all.

[@Kcolby47]

Great “gift” (or just buy it because it’s cool) ideas. I have a lock n lube, may have to get the accessory kit, and the “decompressor” for hydraulic lines would sure be handy. Wishing you and your family a Blessed Christmas! You’ll have to let us know how you were “gifted” for Christmas. 😉

[@malovens152]

you both work well together

[@wvdeere8643]

Would love to see a compact 3pt sickle bar mower on Johnny. Have seen a couple 60 inch models for SCUTS. Something different from the one on Vinny. Maybe a few garden tools a potato planter or harvester. Just some ideas. Great videos.

[@beefitter]

you need a small camera mounted on the grill guard with a small screen on the loader, mounted opposite your grip suggestion so you can see fork tips or grapple tines

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Did you see our prior episode?

[@beefitter]

I just saw it. Camera looks good. I agree, a little tweaking and the camera will work great.

[@AdamMuhle]

Once a quarter I get to spend 3 evenings on massive planning meetings with co-workers all around the planet (Google PI Planning and SAFe if you're bored). Since I spend 99.9% of my time just listening and being prepared to talk the other 0.01% of the time, I try to find a semi-mindless project to keep my hands busy so I don't fall asleep. This week I learned the ISO Tunes are great for this. I can engage in moderately loud activities and still hear the meeting. I also now have lights on the top of my OTC cab.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Whew! I don’t miss those meetings! Some of the other guys in our office (project manager types) were getting SAFe certifications when I was there.

[@AdamMuhle]

​@@TractorTimewithTim I have SAFe for Teams and PO/PM training thus far. But I didn't get around to taking the PO/PM test because the training landed mid-summer when I had a half-built shop in the back yard and a 3 month old baby in the house. Oh well. Fortunately, our management don't currently seem to care about getting the piece of paper, just that we pay attention in class and apply the knowledge.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

I think that is the difference between direct employment for a company, and. Consulting. Once I was in the consulting world, they expected us to add new certifications frequently.

[@AdamMuhle]

@@TractorTimewithTim yeah, I suppose in the consulting world you have to be sellable on a regular basis so a full resume matters. I was fortunate to go 10 years without caring about my resume at IBM (until I could no longer handle the short sighted leadership in that company). 6 years and counting at WDC and no motivation to work on it yet! (Yes, that WDC. Keep posting videos... You are keeping me employed! :-) )

[@matt56849]

You should look at the Lumax lock on coupler, I personally like it better than the locknlube. Especially when releasing from a grease zerk that is clogged, and on my battery operated grease gun, it gets under a lot of pressure pretty quickly. The locknlube is much harder to release in that case than the lumax, IMO.

[@Niemand411]

About the Attachments maybe time should look into a chopper for brush then he could turn the brush into mulch and reduce the amount of material he has to haul away or he could use the mulch for other things than burning for nothing or hauling it away

[@lowermichigan4437]

Lock and lube. Yeah. I want one of those.

[@patrochism7700]

Merry Christmas track team 10 with you and your family and a happy New Year 2020.

[@Lukeldejong]

I know Vinny has it, but I would love some seeder videos. I think I have heard of other brands other than the woods one you pointed out on an episode. I think “Good Works Tractor” has something one. Pretty certain seeders are up there in cost!

[@TractorTimewithTim]

We intend to give one a workout next spring. We are not certain we will get it...but it looks good at this point.

[@Lukeldejong]

Awesome!

[@benemma5261]

I’d suggest some LED headlights, work lights, turn signals and brakes. And who doesn’t want a K&N high flow air filter for their Johnny?!

[@derekcaylor8449]

Cool expensive attachment: PTO driven generator 😉

[@bobpurs]

Cool video. Some good ideas for people. Good to see Katriel, hope all is well with her and make sure you say Hi. Nice having them home for the holidays. Jdmich

[@nathanbrodeur]

Tim I actually have a 1 1/2 inch socket in 1/2 inch drive in a impact socket and you can get it at Home Depot online or at Oriley auto parts stores in your area

[@eosjoe565]

Same here. I have a 1/2-inch drive Tekton set that goes to 1-1/2 inch. 1-1/2 inch seems to be about the max size for 1/2-inch drive. Anything bigger than 1-1/2 inch and you're in 3/4-inch drive territory.

[@jddriver9565]

mhh you need a small trailer for Johnny!;) And i cant wait to see the 1025R with the snow cab plowing snow!:D

[@mikerhett4646]

Welcome back Katriel

[@denisewildfortune4058]

You can count me as one of your fans of the big socket set that I bought from your store! Tim, I don't think I've ever seen you use a chain/drag harrow! Maybe it would make a good Christmas gift from Katriel?

[@TractorTimewithTim]

I have needed one several times!

[@myself7630]

Those grease guns are always a fight. Some people got talent and than there's me. Make a mess out of everything

[@jagx234]

I'm very curious about the cab you have on there. I've run into a dead end wall trying to find ones for the new ROPS style on the 2018+ Is that cab the reason the lights are hanging funny? Edit : daggumit, if I'd watched all the way through first I'd already know the answer.

[@danielhowald8855]

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

[@nathanvanfossen1391]

Are you still planning on getting a bigger tractor or are you going to to keep Jonny only? How's it going with the stolen tractor deal?

[@retireddriver16]

The loader handle that's funny cause I made one for my 4200 tractor and 420 loader about 4 years ago and I sure do like it

[@Niemand411]

we in Germany have this Syle of Greas gun as long as i know so at least 15 jears they are lot better in my opinion.

[@sprucegoose1016]

Man you sure have s cool family man 😎

[@jamescochran8509]

Would like to see video of the cab install my 1025r has the over center roll bar also.

[@kraigschick4588]

Have you tested how bright the lights are on the top of your new tractor cab?

[@AdamMuhle]

Hmm....I wonder how much I'd break if I stuck a heavy hitch blade in the receiver of the Artillian fork frame? Assuming you can spin the blade all the way around, that'd be by far the cheapest loader mount blade out there.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Hmm...I should try that!!!

[@AdamMuhle]

@@TractorTimewithTim I'd love to see how it works. The finance committee might actually approve a snow plow at that price. Then I'd just have to fabri-cobble a way to change the angle from the seat. You probably have access to the right people at Artillian to find out how bad of an idea it is too. It's well braced, but I know I'm too far out of my element to say how it'll stand up to the rotational/lateral force of an angled blade. (Perhaps you've seen Roy Rector's videos...he inspired the super duty Heavy Hitch as he was the first to use it for ground engagement implements and bent the original.)

[@majenness]

Hi Tim..... As far as tractor attachments go (not sure if your Ventrac has this capability) but for when you are trying to mow next to a pond and not want to get your cheeseburger soaked....... Amazon... "Farmer-Helper Hydraulic Boom with 5′ Sickle Brush Mower, FH-BRM150"

[@dustinslanec6747]

The lock n lube accessory kit says not available on your store. Hope it gets restocked I could use that.

[@jparra4766]

Awesome ideas. Thanks!

[@whaler4444]

I never really seen any trailers on the channel(haven't watched all of them) for the tractor so maybe a hydraulic crane/trailer combo. Would be nice for moving logs/firewood/earth/gravel and i am sure you would be able to find even more uses for it.

[@deerecam6040]

Tim, you haven't did a video of a rotary broom to sweep the snow or dirt off driveways. That would be a good one too see

[@AgriculturalLife]

Don't know how to call it in English, hope you understand what I mean … its a tiller, but it works in the other direction. Its working the gras and dirt under and put's on the clean ground over it. Ps: found it, rotary tiller :)

[@larryconover3925]

Can the lock n lube kit work with a standard grease gun or do I also need the Lube Shuttle Grease Gun. I like the extension in the LockNLube kit as I have a fitting I can't reach.........

[@TractorTimewithTim]

It works with standard gun

I may have missed it... did you buy a second tractor? I know you have several episodes where you were looking at makes and models.

Love the kitten times you put in.

Nice eggs in the morning ......chickens eating bugs around your place dog keeping an eye over everything.... well......i think it would fit in the channel well. And not realy much work. I say german shepherd cause thats were my heart is......like you and john deere.......but i see a calm dog following you around the place. Ya.....a puppy would be nice but as long as ive watched you guys.......i see a calm dog just following and getting attention now and then. Were you guys seem to move around and go away from home often i guess it would have to be a smaller breed dog but i still see you guys having a calm dog along for the show. Idk if im the only viewer that sees this.......but i bet im not

[@Zanderthelab]

Katriel, cool kids used to call it swag back in 2017. How do I know?? Bc my senior year of hs people used to always say I got my swag and I would be like what’s that?? It’s kinda like merch in some cases.

[@jhbomb75]

So which would you pick the Mini322 or the Artillian grapple if you could only pick one? Knowing that is not necessarily an apples to apples comparison.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

I cannot answer that! I love them both!
