[@BennyViola]

Tim, I also like the show tours and look forward to more of them. I am trying to get my wife comfortable with equipment and show her videos where Christy is operating them. I am making some progress with my 1025R! Thanks again for the video and may God continue to bless you and your family.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

We intend to focus more on Christy operating the equipment in the future. She is quite comfortable with it, but sometimes less so when we are working for a paying customer. In those instances, we often need to hurry and be 'all business', so it is difficult to take the time to learn.

[@BennyViola]

@@TractorTimewithTim I can understand when you are working on a revenue project that it a different ball game. I rarely use my 1025r for pay jobs as much has as helping out friends, family and community. I would like Angie "my wife" to come with me more and her seeing Christy is a BIG help ;) she is not opposed to the idea just seems intimidated with some of the projects.

[@suburbantractor9125]

Benny Viola I encouraged my wife to hop on our 1025 the day it arrived, and it had the same effect on her as it does on the rest of us, a big smile. Be encouraging and don’t get upset if she does something differently than you would. Fun is more important than right, and the job is less important than the time you will spend together.

Be patient with her. That is MY biggest challenge. I get frustrated when the loader goes down when it should go up! :-)

[@mitchp350]

WOW, There are things I have never seen before. Great show. Oh that Pro Paddle Attachment, here we use them for getting the rocks off the lawn in the spring. If you have a gravel driveway, and have it snow plowed, you have to plow it back as far as you can to make room(usually on lawn). The rocks off driveway of coarse are plowed up as well, and that little attachment, is the answer, makes it a whiz of the job compared to a rake.

wow.i could have watched an hour of this. Anyways....just finished plowing my condo complex with my jonny (1023E) after a FOOT snowstorm last evening. (in mid november? yep :) ) 7 hours last night..3 more today... Just using the loader and my new original cab setup. It all just works SO good. I actually just used the cab with both doors off. Its Very comfortable. roof ,windshield and back keeps most of the moisture off you but yet it still feels very open and helps a lot with the visibility for all the turning and backing i have to do around doors..garages..cars. etc. Residents just love it because it does such a good job vs. a truck/plow. Anyways..thought i'd tune in to some TTWT because obviously 10 hours of tractor /snow work just wasnt enough for me :) Thanks !

[@TractorTimewithTim]

I’m glad to hear it worked well for you. 1023e with Original cab is quite the cost effective snow removal rig. Lots of function for reasonable price!

[@RJ4O4]

@@TractorTimewithTim Tim..what you said times TEN. we were paying about 7,000 a yr for a truck/plow to do a horrible job. Not that they were really that bad its just too hard for them to manuveur around to do a very good job. This whole setup will be paid for in 2 1/2 yrs just by cancelling that. And..i also created a nice job for myself in the process :) You REALLY have been a big help with your videos on maintenance and bringing this cab to my attention. Not to mention how interesting all your topics really are. So..thank you :)

As always, amazing job showing us. I am interested in seeing more of the laser level and it’s options. I need to purchase one. I know you will give a honest opinion. Thanks again.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Oh my. I don't know if I have time to get to that soon. We are very busy right now...with one big thing that we will show you next week (eta: Thanksgiving day), as well as all of the normal family stuff. Having said that, we have a very interesting project scheduled for the week after Thanksgiving using our level in a water park!!! Unfortunately, It might be several weeks before we publish that video. In a nutshell, I really like the topcon HL5A (essentially identical to my HL4C). Here are some reasons which might help you. - Only a few buttons. - Self levels when you turn it on...the LED indicates when it is level and ready to go. - If it gets bumped, or the ground shakes (tractor passes near), it stops working until you start it again. - It has this manual 'slope' function. Not as expensive as the automatic slope, but if you have some decent mathematical and analysis skills, you can make this one do exactly what you need. This type of math comes easy for me, so I have no problem with that. ...and I HAVE used the slope feature several times. I would NOT want a level which doesn't have that. - We are still on our first set of D-Cell batteries. We set it up at the beginning of a project, and leave it running for hours. I recommend buying a good tripod and stick with it. We recently purchased a magnetic mount receiver (additional receiver) so that I can do without the guy walking along with the stick. The HL5A is on our amazon store. We bought ours locally because we were in a hurry, and paid 25% more than amazon. Wow. Unfortunate, but we needed it THAT DAY. I would recommend you order it in advance so that you can play with it in your yard. We have several videos using it....have you seen them? I can create a playlist if you would find that helpful.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Oh, and I have ZERO experience with ANY other laser level. So, I honestly cannot give you any comparison experience. I'm sorry about that. ...and .... I have NO affiliation with Topcon. The opinions expressed are mine, all mine :-)

I had mentioned in a previous video that you do not need a CDL to drive an antique vehicle. You had asked for further information . There's a forum on big Mack trucks.com, getting a CDL only to drive an antique vehicle? They go into better detail in that Forum it varies state to state. But there are many states who don't require a CDL to drive an antique dump truck non commercially. It falls under the same category as the retirees that drive around these big motorhomes with no CDL. It's an antique vehicle or a recreational vehicle, no cld needed.

Looked like one heckova awesome show. That being said I think I'd rather have a tractor with a loader than most of the equipment at the show. Even though the log grapple looked great, it's dedicated.
