Using A Riding Mower As A Tractor? With Johnny Products, You'll have what you need to do it all.

I bought my first Johnny Product back in 2013. Their rear sleeve hitch upgrade was just what I needed to turn my tiny Craftsman LT1000 into a true farm tractor. With that add-on I was able to plow my garden plot, back blade my driveway and so much more.
When I decided I needed a front plow, I went with Johnny Products. With the Johnny bucket Jr, and Johnny Plow Jr, I now have exactly what I need to maintain my entire homestead. Digging, loading, dumping, plowing snow, hauling large lumber, and so much more, these American made products let me do nearly everything a big tractor will do for far less than the cost of a full size tractor alone.
I'm honored that when I reached out to buy yet another Johnny product, the company asked me to show off their all new redesigned product line!
Over the next few months, I'll be showing off install and assembly videos for all their super cool stuff, and then for a few months after that, I'll show off just what you can do with these great tools.

When I started watching the KZbin how to. It was you that introduced me to the big world of how to. Thank you for your help time and everything. Much appreciated

[@FarpointFarms]

Glad I could help!

[@nevadabadger7925]

Greetings from Reno, Nevada. I bought two ‘90s vintage riding mowers without decks for just this purpose. Thanks for the video.

[@FarpointFarms]

They work great, it is a great way of recycling and not letting things go to waste

[@buildingalegacypa]

Looking forward to seeing your future videos using the Bucket, thanks for the video!

[@ripdinecola4755]

Awesome! Nice setup

[@Glenn_123]

Love the tractor videos and. the Johnny products line! So glad you are doing these videos!

[@FarpointFarms]

Glad you like them!

[@brad7670]

Great video. Keep up the garden tractor vids!

[@NothingQuiteAsFly]

I am in the same situation, big enough jobs to want some power, but not nearly big enough to require an actual tractor. Neat products.

[@FarpointFarms]

They really are some great products. Sometimes it is not worth the effort to bring out the bigger tractor for a smaller job. This new setup is very good!

[@nickpage6500]

That looks awesome bud I’m thinking bout buy one

[@FarpointFarms]

You should! It is a back saver for sure!

[@tinkmarshino]

Very cool.. I have a husky and was looking for some attachments.. no room for a big tractor so I got this one.. Looking forward to this.. thanks for the share my friend!

The only one I did not want to make is the snow plow-- if I make a video it means that there will be snow- that is a 4 letter word in my book

Is it quick-dosconnect? I wouldnt want that bucket on my lawn tractor all the time.

[@FarpointFarms]

It is really easy to take off- maybe 1-2 minutes at most.

[@ktanner11]

Not going to say it doesn't work or it isn't useful for most people, but for the cost you can get a used tractor with a three point at least iny area.

[@FarpointFarms]

Shoot in my area, tractors are high dollars even for used ones.

[@frankwincenty8832]

Wieder ein sehr gutes Video von ihnen. Leider gibt es keine guten Johnny Produkte in Deutschland - nur schlechte aus Polen. Viele Grüße aus Berlin/germany.

[@seanmcgrath1326]

Hello, I just ordered a Husqvarna TS348XD. I am in the market for a front mounted dozer/plow blade for dirt and snow. Any recommendations? I see more snow blades on the market but I am assuming they don’t work for dirt? Thanks for your videos and time.

[@FarpointFarms]

Husqvarna makes a "Dozer blade" for that unit. Johnny products also makes a Johnny Plow. Both are good units.

[@seanmcgrath1326]

Thanks for the reply. You have experience with the Craftsman GT Dozer blade 48624410. Will this work as an all season plow? If so, will it fit the tractor I have on order. I need to rewatch your review. Thanks.

[@nickpage6500]

I would like see you use that bucket on that tractor see how it works if you can

[@FarpointFarms]

I've made a few on it over the years, here is one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXunq4CqnrSEfM0

[@nickpage6500]

Bud that price for Johnny bucket the you have it’s very nice what I see but price wow for that price better do a lot unless seeing wrong one

[@FarpointFarms]

It may not be cheap, but take the cost of it, plus a good Riding Mower, and it's still 1/4 the cost of an entry level SCUT type tractor.

[@bobf.1180]

Those buckets aren't for "digging holes." They are for scraping scooping loose material.

[@nickpage6500]

Will Johnny bucket lift move 2B gravel little at time I appreciate videos I would known all this thanks

[@FarpointFarms]

Yes. I've moved over 60 yards of gravel with this, and another 40 yards of mulch.

Looks great, How did you mount the joystick?

[@huntingdemons9039]

Could someone tell me the intro jingle? Sounds like a nice song

[@lont3927]

So wondering if you were able to service the transmission? If so, how. I am looking at this unit and also the John Deere x370. The Deere has the k58 tranny vs the k66 on the husky. The dealer here was kind of pointing me towards the Deere mainly because he feels it is built better, but also because the tranny is serviceable where he said he did not believe the husky was. In any event, the husky $4600 delivered to me, the Deere $5000 delivered. Interested to know your thoughts. I drove both, and they both seem solid to me.

[@nickpage6500]

How much weight can bucket hold if you know

[@FarpointFarms]

I Don't recall, but it's not a deal breaker. Lifting too much with it usually hurts the tractor, and not the bucket.

[@alangomas8702]

Do you have a link for these parts ?

[@FarpointFarms]

It was in the description- johnnyproducts.com/

[@amberblyledge7859]

I also have a stupid Husqvarna. I also want to turn it into a useful thing.

[@FarpointFarms]

This will certainly do it! I can dig trenches with the sleeve hitch and dig earth with the bucket.

[@FosterFarmsOk]

id like to get a plow for my rider. using the shovel is getting old.

[@FarpointFarms]

When we finally move from the areas of snow, I think I want to toss my shovel off a cliff. Your back will thank you for a plow instead of the shovel

[@disgruntledbear2764]

Can it be taken off and on quickly and easily when it's not needed?

[@FarpointFarms]

When we took it off to put the plow on, we did it in less than 5 minutes

[@disgruntledbear2764]

@@FarpointFarms Okay, if it was going to be an ordeal to remove when not needed, it would have been a bit of a deal breaker. Thanks.

[@markshaw2207]

What is the difference in the x2?

[@FarpointFarms]

The actuators are twice as fast as the older units, and the bucket is slightly redesigned.

[@justsomeguy--]

Wheel bearings, tie rod, steering gears. Shouldn't be used on a lawn mower. You upgraded for a good reason. Please don't mislead people.

[@FarpointFarms]

Umm. Everyone of those parts are also on my garden tractor.

[@brandondillard2306]

Come on buddy. There’s no way a riding mower is going to dig a hole with that bucket. That’s misleading to people who don’t know.

[@FarpointFarms]

Did you not see the photos I included of it doing just that?

[@brandondillard2306]

I saw a picture of a hole. I’m sorry if I’m wrong but I would like to see a video of a two wheel drive husqvarna lawn mower take that bucket and dig a hole like that in virgin ground like that picture. If that’s the case that’s the best thing going. Thanks for the reply.

[@FarpointFarms]

@@brandondillard2306 While I can totally appreciate the desire for you to see me do that, I don't currently have a need to dig a hole on my property. I did use this to move a large retaining wall 4 years back, and it did work fine. That was my older Husqvarna GT52, but they are pretty much the same. The job was like the photo, but instead of digging downward, I dug into a hillside. Still worked, but much slower that a "Real" tractor like the Kubota we have now as well. Since we got that, I use the Johnny bucket mostly for farm type work and hauling feed, lumber and such.

[@dudet9176]

@@FarpointFarms Hauling Feed and Lumber... what are you feeding chickens and moving twigs... come on man! Either buy something with real power or just use good old fashion manual labor.

[@dudet9176]

This product is such a waste of time... you have any idea how long it takes to get anything done with using one of these! BUY a real tractor with a loader and get things done in minutes instead of hours... If your extremely cheap then buy lift arms and install them on your lawnmower. After all the hassle of installing, paying for these attachments and hours wasted you'll still end up realizing... "I should have bought a Compact Tractor".... if this product works for you then great but this is not meant for heavy duty task.

[@FarpointFarms]

Let's agree to disagree, not everyone has the money to spend on something like that. It is very narrow minded to assume that people have or want a compact tractor.
