Lots of fun working with the old neighbors. I had 4 stumps ground on my lot this spring and the person had a dedicated grinder using a 6 cylinder diesel. Man that thing threw chips for 30’. Definitely didn’t stand in front. Great video. 👍👍👍

[@rdl3255]

Great video !!! Probably one of my favorite of how you use the equipment, manpower, and troubleshooting and make it all come together. It’s so important to help and serve in our neighborhoods.

[@DanielTorres-hu1zq]

Just what I need, more pressure to clean out the garage! Great to see Christy helping you bring order out of chaos. Great use of equipment too (except for manual movement of pallet, but you acknowledged that). In response to one person's comment, I always appreciate your recommendations on particular products so please continue to share your experience. We can decide to accept or not.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Thanks! We do not intend to be ‘one big commercial...but if we don’t mention where we got some of this stuff, we get lots of questions asking “where did you get that...?”

[@MrNosajwhitey]

Even though he probably has more confidence than average person cause of his background it's still good to see someone new to tractor work doing well shows that John deer have a simple intuitive operating system

[@waltermattson5566]

Good job Johnny. It is good to show beginners running the tractors after a few minutes of instructions. It will give others confidence to know they can learn too. Everyone needs a tractor.

[@richpicone7788]

LOVE IT!! Great video! I will say this..... I did enjoy seeing a beginner on the tractor, and at the same time , Tim... you are a better man than me. I would have been nervous from the minute Jimmy had those awkward loads to let anyone else use your tractor. ....More and more, I’d love to be able to do what you guys are doing. What a way to spend your time. Keep it up and keep the videos coming!

[@scottgasbarro1350]

I love the beginner level videos!!! I’ve learned a ton from your channel!!!! Keep up the great videos!!!

[@brucep9123]

Tim, I have a number of neighbors and friends which are interested in tractors, but are afraid of operating such a powerful machine. I am very glad to see newbees trying out the equipment around the experts!

[@gmass7238]

I think it's great , him sharing his Johnny with the neighbor, that let's other people learn and experience operating tractor ...enjoyed the video and thanks for sharing ...

[@bobbypool923]

I think it's great you are willing to teach someone and give them the opportunity to learn. I know by experience it is easier to do it yourself. But a blessing to share knowledge with others.

[@CapeAnnImages]

You got me stumped on this video. I had an old apple tree stump in my yard and criss crossed cut the top then chipped it out below ground level then filled the depression in. Over the years a sink hole developed and I was always filling it in as the rest of the stump slowly rotted. It turned out to be a 20 year or so project. Glad to see you grinding the stumps as deep as you can. That Ventrac is a great machine!

[@RKHarm24]

Always enjoy the share and show your equipment. Like I have over the years with firearms. Share the knowledge and let someone enjoy a new experience.

[@timothycoleman8916]

The quickness your friend pick-upped and went shows that Deere is easy to operate. I have an older 245 lawn tractor and don't have the pedal controls. I just bought the 1023E (just 54 mower deck) and was wondering about the foot pedal -forward and reverse. After closely watching him as soon as he started, I loved his backing up, then quickly moving to next point. This is great considering most tractors require you to look down before you shift forward - thus slower. My Deere is not home yet, they said up to 3 weeks before delivery. So I sit and study everything about this tractor and the1025R too. Soon I hope, even if the manager calls like the LandPro FB Message replied back to my gripe on this issue...I offered to come work the shop to expedite my tractor set up, and help others. They said the manager would call me.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

The longest days ever! Waiting on your new tractor! Be patient. Once you get the machine, you will forget this!

[@BigbearSM-IL]

New operators are great! Shows everyone with a little patience and practice, they too can do the same work whether on their own tractor or with a rental. Great idea Kristy with cutting that stub off.

[@ritterjon]

Another incidence where the Artillian grapple shows just how well it’s built. The stump grinder is great. Good thing you had Christy along for some well needed management advice! Keep on tractoring and God bless.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Exactly, Jon! The grapple is nearly unbreakable! And Christy’s simple idea would have made rolling that log across the yard trivial.

[@TallTexasGMan]

I think is great you are willing to let other people operate your equipment. It shows how you are really working for the Lord and having fun in the process.

[@rl4795]

Yes, I enjoyed seeing others operating the tractors. Very Capable 1025r. I am currently deciding between the 1025r and the 2038r. (with most implements.) For 2 acre farm/garden ..and general home/woods management. The thumb and the grapple I've seen on your 1025r is AMAZING. Makes my choice very hard now. I always thought bigger is better... but, that 1025r is very capable !!! THANK so much for your videos. God Bless you both.

[@botabob]

Wow - this video had a lot to enjoy - new operators, stump removal - and pizza. And it’s lunch time for me - have a great day folks

[@lacking2010]

Just had the chance to try my new Artillian grapples, set up just like yours. I now have about 10 hours experience moving brush piles, logs, and other debris. This is an excellent tool and wished that I had them many years ago. I manage a 60 acre tree farm in SW Washington, so lots of need. It is mounted on a JD 2025R. I also purchased the tooth bar for my bucket - another very good tool. In any event, I learned about them thru this channel. Thanks for the good work.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Congratulations! I’m glad to hear that it is working well for you!

[@jasone9]

John Deere should be paying ttwt massive amounts of money for showing what these compact tractors are capable of doing. I am continually impressed with what you accomplish with Johnny, the heavy hitch, and the grapple. I sure hope Jimmy and his uncle dont get hurt working through that "pile" of logs Jimmy stacked. Looking forward to hearing more about the new gooseneck we keep seeing glimpses of.

[@micksn70]

hey guys, i think it's a fantastic idea to give a demo for people who are wondering how to operate the equipment and give little education whether it be wanting to buy a tractor or just wanting some experience can be a great way to help people learn the about the equipments uses and the versatility 👍

[@skidaddler6293]

I like watching a beginner and seeing mistakes. I learn more. Good videos. Thanks.

[@danimal1611]

Do enjoy watching your videos and how you share allowing others to experience the equipment.

[@TWood66]

Thanks for your video. New 1025r owner and first tractor. Very helpful.

[@FromSteelToWood]

Double thumbs up to take time to stop the engine to warn Jimmy to move further away, for safety's sake. We all enjoy happy endings! Thanks!

[@nealtubbs9608]

You guys had a really busy day. Looks like everyone was pleased with the outcome. I liked seeing Jimmy and Corey operating the tractor. They did a good job most likely because of your instructions. I would have kept most of what Jimmy brought to be mulched. There were quite a few straight logs that would have made excellent firewood.

[@jerrynibarger9148]

Would a back-up camera work better than the mirror on vinny? They are about $35 for the camera and the monitor. Thanks for the videos. I love watching how well johnny handles itself. Would the vac on johnny suck up the wood chips? Maybe you can see how well your eating at the stumps with vinny better?

[@stanleybroadhead8978]

Excellent job. Your lovely bride had a great suggestion there. Y'all stay safe.

[@zr1sparky1]

Another great Bible verse! And yes, it's helpful to see a neophyte pick up on the use of the grapple. It appeared to be intuitive!

[@johnstone1086]

Great job on trying to be safe and great job to the military guy and thank him for his service and God blessings

[@earlsmithson4749]

I’ll tell you what Tim, you could open up a tractor operators school. Good Job.

[@coffeebert6644]

Just pulling your chain a little bit Tim but the only thing I could think about when you were rolling the large part of the trunk was “ I’m not a smart man but I would move the trailer over to the stump instead of the stump to the trailer”

[@colonialroofingofnorthcaro441]

I tell ya Tim, your getting really got at using your equipment and learning to feel your way which is one of the most important ways to use equipment to iys greatest abilities, you can make equipment do things it wasn't really rated to do just buy feel and learning the strengths and weaknesses of the piece of equipment your using and it shows so bravo brother, you remind me of me a little, you like me like things to be done your way but your doing great to keep it under control, , me I still have to work on that lol, God bless guys, keep pushing

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Thanks! Yes, you nailed it. The machine wasn't intended to move that big stump. However, nothing I did in this episode was harmful to the machine. It is hard to 'teach' this. A set of "Do this, don't do that" rules will not suffice. It takes patience, practice, and persistence to make these little tractors productive.

[@texaspecanderosa]

I like the diversity that you all provide in your videos -- always interesting and informative!

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Thanks for watching, Michael!

[@PastorDavidFranklin]

Always impressed with you guys. Johnny handled his business. Great! Keep up the great work!

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Great video Tim. That was a huge stump. Good job with it👍

[@mr.redneck2715]

I always have the tree guy cut the butt logs less than two feet so I can pic them up!

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Come and get them!

[@deannechaves3690]

I actually went to the John Deere dealership today. I am in the market for a 1025R. I test drove one and it seemed fairly easy to operate. I have never owned a tractor and I am looking forward to owning this one.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

You’ll love it!

[@Dale37]

I saw two Ventracs on a trailer in town last week. That was the first time I have ever seen one. They are definitely interesting pieces of equipment.

[@silverhaze_2121]

Yeah, it's good to let beginners try it out and to learn, but it is definitely more satisfying watching the job get done in a timely and efficient manner.

[@ronmack1767]

Enjoyed the video Tim & Christy. Grinding stumps looks like it would take allot of concentration and patience. Was that wood maple. That's a pretty heavy wood. Like the pics I sent y'all of my 1025R they will surprise you how much they will pick up. At least Johnny was able to push the big stump around and get it loaded. Y'all take care and God bless.

[@lodprice2343]

Yes, it would be good to see some beginners on the tractor/equipment. There was a lot of activity going on in the video. TTWT is the best!

[@peterkober6758]

Tim Christi these videos are so great peoe working together something we don't see often God Bless PaK

[@darkwinter6028]

Well, Louisiana Tractors & Projects (er, I think that’s his channel’s new name... used to be Louisiana Aquaponics) moved one that looked about that big with his GC1710... and I’ve moved a few really big logs (and wet... so heavy) with my GC1723EB... so, yeah, I’m not that surprised that your JD got the job done. 😎 🚜

[@bwtupper]

Hi Tim and Christy . . . I like to watch all skill levels run your equipment. Really enjoy the videos! I would like to see more videos of Johnny 2 and Casey.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Stay tuned. We’ll continue to feature them.

[@bigjim5723]

show all the newbies on ur tractors u want. i'll watch-ok. ha! like others said i see ur new trailer--WOW-OH-WOW. is about all i can say. lol. can't wait for that video.

[@JasonEsquivel]

Love the scripture at closing.

[@joeysmiley5449]

I have a 1025r and I have to tell you that there is no way my tractor would have been able to pick up what yours has been doing. It has been back to the John Deere store twice and they keep telling me it is fine. I use my pallet forks for picking up logs and they weigh less than the grapple weighs. Glad you have one that works correctly.

[@pauloverton3093]

It might be time to invest in pro chainsaw just to have for when you do work like this. Maybe a husqvarna 372, big enough for almost anything but not to big to do small work too. It’s a good market to pick one up now because husqvarna just came out with the 572 (newer version) so you can get them for a real good deal (600-700) new! If you had a saw in that class you could have taken 5 min and cut the whole stump right in half! Keep up the good work!

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Man....johnny is a little work horse!

[@kevinbuszinski2220]

we got a glimps of the new trailer at the end, must have a hydraulic tail

[@bassbuggy101]

I enjoy seeing the first timers running equipment! Let me know if you ever need a first timer to try out vinny!

[@timkd5vmv583]

Great video as usual. It was good to see Jimmy and the old neighborhood. I really need to investigate the availability of the grapple for my Mahindra. They seem to be so versatile.

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

I use the one on my Mahindra all the time. They are great. 👍

[@TractorTimewithTim]

The artillian grapple will fit any ssqa.

[@timkd5vmv583]

Unfortunately I currently have a pin on bucket.

[@Redneck_Ed]

I enjoyed that video. Definitely impressive to see that tractor move those logs around. It was a bit painful though watching the guy hunched over the splitter. That type of repetitive motion is murder on the back.

[@MetaView7]

I still can't get over how 23.9 hp can do so much so quickly.

[@johnpyle8027]

I understand balance and load and used to work in the masonry business where I operated numerous variations of fork lifts, lulls and teleporters. We're talking about 5000 lbs sometimes 3 stories high. Saturday I bought a new Woods 5' tiller and used my new TYM 264 to lift it out of the truck. The TYM 264 is rated for 20 lbs more than your tractor and is physically bigger. I looked at 1025s I really didn't think about ballast with 600 lbs. The truck and tractor were 90 degrees to each other. My sister backed under the loader and I lifted the tiller easily and she pulled out, very stable UNTIL I lowered it. One rear tire came off the ground a little once the load was down and in FRONT of the tractor. I had a pallet to lay it on and kept it slow without stopping. Really increased my pucker factor! I'm not sure how much ballast you had, but you were lifting WAY more the 600 lbs with a little smaller and lighter tractor. I had a long conversation with my sister about safety, it really scared her to the point she didn't think she wanted to run it anymore after falling in love with it! I'm filling the rear tires on the tractor this week asap!

[@TractorTimewithTim]

No need to fear. You quickly get the feel of it…recognizing when you are nearing the limits. The only advice is to THINK!

[@jamesdiehl8690]

I love watching you two all the time! We're all family through GOD. I think I'd rather have a camera pointing down at the grinder instead of that mirror and a screen I could watch in front of me.

[@OO-by2jl]

A friend and I loaded a huge stump 2 weeks ago with just a winch. Last Monday I went and bought a 1025R . 2 weeks it will be here!

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Congratulations! 1025r won’t lift everything, but it certainly helps!

[@meanjoegreen4925]

nice video how many windows have you knocked out with the stumper? I have had great luck ok maybe the wrong word ---had a company come out did one of my stumps and shot my window out in my van which was like 40 ft. away. I thought you had a guard for it but It looked like it was a mirror to see what you a doing nice o have also t.c. stay safe b/c life is short

[@ilmo2313]

Vinny and Johnny made it back to the neighborhood for a visit. Tim and Christy, I bet you can go back several times to the old neighborhood in a year's time for visits and get some work done.

[@patmason7276]

That little Deer did as good as the 5100 kubota we have. Big stump . Tell the neighbors they can help out on the cost of the stump grinder.😳

[@ajjackson741]

Thank you for another Great video. I do like when you offer the noobies (will include myself in this category) to operate the equipment to demonstrate the learning curve

[@joeyshofner639]

Turning good potential lumber into mulch is painful to watch. Love watching the rest thou, keep them coming.

[@Drew6709]

Would be nice to see useable lumber from such large cuts of trunk.

[@johncampbell1853]

Lots of good saw logs there

[@chasehuff6585]

What size is the suitcase weight on back? Thanks love the videos ! Trying to decide 1025 or 2032 for moving fire wood and logs around

[@billyhighfill]

Great use of counterweight. When I get a tractor someday, I'll be sure to use it!!!!!!

[@billyhighfill]

Also. I did enjoy seeing beginner work. Just keep the ratio of pro to noob like you are.

[@carm29231]

What a great episode! I really enjoyed seeing Johnny handle that huge stump! Congrats on hitting 78k subscribers! Your number 1 fan from nj! Carmine

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Thanks for the kind words, Carmine!

[@danielsharon524]

Definitely good to see a newbie on there.

[@Diantane22]

Well the only tractor experience I had before was on a JD GX345. Getting the 1025r was definitely a step up. But after knocking down a tree, digging up four stumps and digging a 165 foot long trench for a French drain in the first 12 hours, I'm picking up the knowledge fast.

[@jasonpanzer5097]

Awesome job Tim and the team looks fun too

[@RockhillfarmYT]

That was a lot of stump for that little tractor

[@alh9338]

Boy I'd gladly do that for a neighbor and take the wood of their hands. Going to have to look for mulch plants. Great idea for things that won't go through the splitter. But man at the least, if only firewood, few grand! Neat stump grinder to rent. 🍻

[@superdairyboy]

hey Tim, your grapple. are each side independently controlled? and if so do you have a video showing this? I saw the install video of the grapple, just did not see how it was controlled.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

They are not individually controlled...and do not need to be.

[@howesithauling3858]

Love your videos love all your guys's equipment keep up the good work God bless

[@davidshipulski4532]

When I first saw this I said to myself where is Johnny 2! It seemed like you almost had it but not! I just bought a 1974 JD 140 H3 with the hydraulics! It is a really solid tractor! Good video!

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Hard to know which machine to take. We know that viewers have a preference for Johnny, and we knew that the tighter turning radius would be nice. We didn’t know that the large stump was there.

[@rickysafer2895]

Good job on moving the big stump.

[@wendellkulp95]

another great video.. glad to see kristie was able have fun also.

[@bartonmd]

Ha! I just saw Jimmy Saturday evening at our 20y HS class reunion!

[@wesleyfarrar1856]

awesome skills moving that large stump

[@zarbond21]

LOL Tim, @ 19:35 I Thought You Were Going To Say, "Christie Moving A Log..."

[@rickm3217]

Neighbors working together, what fun!

[@black300c69]

Very impressive I love what you do

[@randywhelan8944]

SPEACHLESS , NO WORDS , GREAT VIDEO THOUGH

[@johnhfischeriii]

It's always great to break bread with friends and neighbors...pizza definitely counts.

[@foudo13]

That Ventrac keeps surprising me although i do think there are faster stump grinding solutions for smaller tractors out there . In Belgium i've only seen the Ventrac 3000 series , i don't even think they sell 4000 series overhere ...

[@shanesherwood343]

Tim thanks for all the Grapple videos they really helped convince my finance committee that it was worth the money

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Amazing attachment!

[@elektrikman8834]

im impressed again what work this little tractor can do mine is coming this afternoon

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Congratulations!

[@patrickburgmeier7902]

Tim may I suggest that you put 2 longer small diameter lengthwise and then stack the rest crosswise.. That way most logs are out of the dirt for cutting with the chainsaw. The big log you could have RIP cut with a chainsaw into more manageable chunks also I think. You are pretty handy tho Tim

[@milwaukee_69]

Stay blessed and neighborly my brother in Jesus love your videos and Bible verses and have a blessed day

[@darinbrazell622]

I like that articulating operation you have, what the heck is it? and what made you buy something like that?

[@Mrbink01]

Why not bring the trailer to the stump?

[@MienTayTiVi]

because they want to show strength

[@jerryhayden8720]

🤣🤭👍

[@rickdavid1795]

I enjoyed seeing an amateur on that 1025 It’s a little work horse. I want one

[@jeffreycurrie3410]

What jimmy lacks in talent makes up double in personality, I think I would have left the big trunk, for a table in the yard. Too much drama, poor jimmy was just too close. I know it’s really fun being apart of this kind of stuff. I think I couldn’t have succeeded with this much help. Great job.

[@patrickmchugh4894]

Lol I like watching a rookie at. I dont feel as bad. When I was on the farm our bucket only had a trip on it so the bucket would swing in the air till u put it on the ground to latch it back in place. Lol and sometimes it didn't latch. So when I got mine it was a while to get use to, but love it now. It has saved my butt from getting stuck

[@MrJames_1]

Nice mission. Well done. 🚜

[@robertjuanvargas]

Yes is good idea teach people to used of your equipment😜😇😉

[@Mike-qi5gn]

I always enjoy watching

[@dennisaikens8288]

Tim, when did you move? Heard you talk about it on previous video.Somehow missed the move. Enjoy your videos and feel I know you now. You seem like a very likable guy and that we could be friends. How's your daughter doing? Still in school? Later friend ,see ya..

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Nov/Dec 2018. Lots of videos on it at that time.

[@russvtguy]

I am amazed at what that grapple will do. Time to save of some dollars. Great video

[@Chris-jh3tg]

Very nice. Looked like a lot of work. Did you notice a difference between the maple and cherry stumps?

[@TractorTimewithTim]

I think the cherry was a bit harder to grind.

[@jamesdrummond276]

Great video

[@shadowpotatoe9482]

It's so funny, we compare companies and models but that engine sounds almost the same as the one in my gr2110 and gr2120 andd the same as my buddies small bobcat excavator, probably closest to that tbh. I wish I knew how many of these competitors use the same engines haha. Also that tractor is very much a solid machine, i hope your greasing that loader good!
