EASY PARKING PAD FOR TRACTOR ATTACHMENT STORAGE + MUCH MORE!

It's been a year and a half since our last episode of "Tractor Talk," where we cover all sorts of topics like safety, cool tractor mods, tractor projects, interesting forum threads and more. And today we also have huge news from Summit Tractors that will benefit not only existing customers, but future customers as well.

[@ShortyAKALestat]

I have had my 3m muffs for a couple years now. I love them!

[@Bigtoolrack]

Love the work tunes! Been using them for years!

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Nice, glad to hear it Tim! Hope things are good.

[@rundeks]

I've used the 3M WorkTunes Bluetooth without the Radio for a few years now and love them. If I wear them too long they do hurt if wearing glasses like you mentioned, but they work well and are priced nicely.

[@terrygroce1594]

Good instructional information when thinking about additional tools to add to you list. I enjoy your videos! Keep them coming!

[@timbankston3723]

Been using the work tunes for two seasons and really enjoy the music while working.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Awesome, glad they're working long term

[@mrfurb73]

I've been using the 3M Worktunes for 2+ years now when in my open cab HST tractor or on my zeroturn mower. Love them!! I've taken many calls with them on as well (getting off the machine to do so tho)

[@Itsa_Mea]

Im not kiddin, when you ripped through the underlayment I gasped out loud. 😂

[@earlyriser8998]

Courtney, I have the 3M headphones for 2 years. I love them. They just work.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Awesome, glad to hear it!

[@thepitpatrol]

That is a nice setup for equipment. It beats weed eating and roundup

[@badgerlandturf]

So with all your trees, I’m sure there are enough where you could mill out some posts and lumber and all it would be is your fasteners and labor - besides the cost of the mill! Would be a good project to watch! Always thought a pad like that was a good idea for implements versus just sitting in the grass.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Kinda sorta something similar crossed my mind. Would be a heck of a project!

[@gckshea]

Those 3M look like an adaptation of older Peltor head muffs I use.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Still going strong?

[@kevinbrowne5661]

Implement pad: I use "Horse Mats" that are used inside horse trailers. They are about 3/4" thick and heavy. Variable sizes but mostly 3x5 or 4x6. They are about $75 ea.

[@austinmiller4017]

I just picked up a core aerator from you and it works great. Thank you for your videos and sharing your knowledge! Also I live about 1.25 hours from your shop and just bought a new Massey ferg 2860m which is the equivalent to a 4066r. If you ever want to do a comparison lmk! God bless!

[@brianhillis3701]

Actually mowing your tall grass every once in awhile will drastically lower the amount of ticks and chiggers. Also it reduces the amount of fire ants ( not a problem up north). Cut it in stages so they have multiple levels of growth to use.

[@justanotherviewer52]

I still think someone should make a mini grader. Something like that would have been ideal for your equipment pad and any future road projects. The 3m hearing protection looks like a good thing to get before you need hearing aids.

[@tclodfelter8789]

If you're looking for roof covering... check out mobile home trusses! They're pretty cheap. They're at least 12'-14' wide... you can raise them with 4x4 and 2x6's.

[@DesertHomesteader]

I also have 3M Worktunes that I use while driving my tractor. They are sturdy, comfortable, block outside noise (can wear at a gun range, for example) and the sound quality is pretty good. I would also submit that wearing glasses with ANY headphones is going to get uncomfortable after a while and can cause headaches. It is best to move your glasses up and down a bit every so often.

[@JeepinMaxx]

I've been running Work Tunes for a couple years and they are awesome! Check out the Walkers Razor amplified hearing protection for when you go to the shootin range - I'm an instructor and I swear by them and my students love them too because they can hear my range commands

[@lwwarren]

One attachment improvement I made was to weld or bolt trailer jacks to my attachments that don't sit flat when stored.

[@s1283]

Cover that pad with a solar roof. Get power offset benefits with the benefit of covering the tractors from most weather. I’ve been using the 3 m muffs for about 10 years (the single button Bluetooth version in yellow and black) on my z turn, 1 series, and sanding f floors without any issues. Battery lasts a good long time, days if you keep the audio volume lower to moderate.

[@johnrobinson5579]

Hi what do you use to protect your hydrolic hoses

[@carolinafirewood]

Looks like Summit is coming out with a 36hp tractor in 2024. by the way you mentioned that the new FEL has beefier lift capacity, any idea how much?

[@BarryHull]

I liked the Summit and would probably have bought one, but they didn't sell them in South Carolina, so I purchased a Bobcat CT2040. Still like the look of that Summit though. Thumbs up.

[@kevingebert4316]

I would say for your troubled food plot area with the random corn and other grasses. I would just till that all in as green manure and plant in some turnips and radishes yet for your Brassicas. Deer will eat them all winter and early spring.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Been thinking about it. Part of the reason I planted it was for vertical cover/screening. I walked it a bit this morning. It's fairly thin, but a wide enough patch that it still might do the trick for a screen/cover layer. I'm torn on what to do.

[@phild9813]

No wrong answer. Either way you are learning a ton and won’t have a bad time doing it. Sometimes the hardest thing to do is be patient. I’d let it ride personally.

[@MusicandMachines]

Our high school just replaced the turf on our football field. They were selling rolls of turf cheap. Would be perfect for this!

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Heck yeah, that would be sweet!

[@keiths4874]

Another great video, I have some covered buildings for most of my implements with moving parts, but dont mind leaving the land plane, box blade and a scraper out in the elements, but prefer to keep anything with a gearbox or exposed cylinders out of the weather, now I'd like you to explain machinery's natural attraction to water, especially a zero turn😳😂😂 😂, but your advice is dead on regarding getting on steep wet slopes, they can be deadly😬😵🙏

[@imaortega264]

I’m m glad business is doing well enough to get into buying a boat! What kind are you looking at?

[@Splanks]

You planning on doing a video of testing the new summit loader

[@curtanderson8655]

I like the looks of a Summit tractor, I thought that they were going to come out with a cab model this year?? Service is a big thing for me and even if we got one online there has been no talk in our area about people to fix them. Thank you

[@davepowell8389]

I agree with your thoughts. I am hopeful that Summit will be the next big brand. I am a business owner and have watched all the vids, it appears they are taking making the right moves to succeed. However, I would never buy one without the dealer network established. Same principle for a boat, rv, atv and ect, dealer/service is everything. Best of my knowledge, Summit does not have a strong presence in central Indiana. I may/could own one someday, but it's not today.

[@Noah_E]

@@davepowell8389 The Summit TX25 is a Solis H24 (also made by ITL) styled and optioned to Summit's specs. Both are copies of the Mahindra Max 25XL, and all three use the same Mitsubishi engine and other major components. Summit themselves has acknowledged that there are 18 SCUT brands, but only 8 manufacturers behind them. Like back in the day when Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury all shared the same underpinnings from the same suppliers, factories, etc. Options and styling differentiate them. If you have a Mahindra dealer nearby service shouldn't be a problem.

[@mattadams9577]

I had an older version of those I loved. They finally died and I replaced them with some from rural king. Cheaper but the randomly turn off. Idk. Other than that they work well.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

I think you're referencing the headphones?

[@jimmcknight3021]

Courtney I did have a question for you and anyone else on the landplanes. Do they come already adjusted to make a crown or do you adjust them for a crown? I would think for this pad and a parking lot maintenance that you wouldn't want a crown like you would for a driveway?

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Hey Jim, the plane isn't crowned, it just has offset edges that will send material left or right. So, you can go the opposite direction and remove a crown just as easily as putting one in. I currently have virtually no crown on my driveway and used the land plane to make it that way. Long story short, you have flexibility to crown or not crown.

[@sfh422]

I love my work tunes headset

[@BarHRanch]

You could put a little “pole barn” right on top of all that area you just created there.

[@richc9890]

bunch of car ports end to end. 😄 Fabric is great, till you catch it..

[@kenw3586]

Flying Eyes Sunglasses have a very slim ear piece which will reduce any discomfort when using hearing protection

[@seanclark4385]

Try Shokz bone conducting headphones. You can use them alone and be able to hear your equipment or put earplugs in and just hear what you're playing. won't sweat your head or mess with your glasses.

[@stuartrinker]

On my LS with over 500 hours. It seem that I need to regen more than I need. I don’t keep track but it seem to run about every 15-20 hours or so. If I neglect my air filter it seems to regen more often. I will continue to work while regen is happening. I don’t hit the switch, kick the throttle up to regen rpm’s.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Pretty odd, thank you for sharing Stuart!

[@daveschmidt5713]

Certainly interested in a cab version. We need a 4 season tractor.

[@ammo4uragingjudge559]

As an equipment owner operator for 40 years, I personally don’t like fabric. Gives a problem of being dug up sooner or later. I’d rather strip the topsoil, build up with clay then and stone. Still some grass problems occasionally but not a big deal. Operating tip, when grading with bucket, keep a little material in the bucket. It adds weight when start pushing or back dragging.

[@tomfarley3924]

Music too loud or mic volume too low.

[@tclodfelter8789]

WHEN is Summit coming out with the larger framed tractor? I've requested information multiple times from Summit with NO response! Any updates you might have? Thank You!

[@natecarter9202]

This time next year I thought I read, hopefully sooner.

[@tclodfelter8789]

@@natecarter9202 Thanks...I thought it was 2023... Summit never has responded!

[@carolinafirewood]

I asked Summit those same questions on one of their videos and here is their response.. "We will be coming out with our 36HP tractor in early 2024 with details available this fall! We have received feedback about creating a service tutorial video for our Summit owners. It is currently in the works and will be available very soon!"

[@tclodfelter8789]

@@carolinafirewood Thank you!! That's good/bad news! I was hoping they would be out this year!!

[@lwwarren]

I solved the noise problem by getting a tractor with a cab! 🤣

[@mrfurb73]

340 hours on my 3 year old Kubota L3901HST and I've had 4 regens... so that guy with a regen every 2 or so hours either has a bad tractor or isn't using it at the recommended rpms.

[@butwhy3322]

Can I come work for you brother

[@1958johndeere620]

My M7060 regens often. I use it for loader work a fair amount of time and can not run the rpm's high. Its a manual transmission so keeping the rpm's up for loader work is not an option. Many times I have had to leave it on the governor and walk away for the regen to complete. Drives me crazy. Hate it. I think its time for the tractor companies to start thinking gasoline engines again. I hate to say it, yet these emission systems are not user friendly.

[@lonewolfFirearms]

I have a nice 20 ft pontoon boat, trailer and 25 horse motor for sale. It's a Qwest edge 820 if that's what your looking for. I'm located just south of you in northwest Ohio. Let me know if your interested.

[@Gwalker0220]

I like alot of your content... However I hate looking at green tractors when I know from repairs there junk... 50hp and above are great tractors! Under 50hp have cheep parts from China and there built to brake... Not thrilled with electric junk either... Truth is Kubota builds the best tractor up to 50hp... But and Korean tractor has the sub compact and compact JDs beat... But I try to focus on the attachment....

[@steveconrad9134]

Mowing around a pond might be a good time to NOT wear your seatbelt, just like going ice fishing.

[@phild9813]

My B2650 has never regen-ed. 😜
