PLAYING WITH A BRAND NEW TRACTOR THAT NO ONE ELSE HAS YET! 🤩

Sometimes you don't have the perfect attachment for the job. And today, that's exactly the case. I'll spread my Northwoods Whitetail screen seed, but I need to get it under the surface and I don't have a cultipacker. What I do have is a Pulverizer with a rolling spiked drum on the back. I'm hoping I can use that to successfully bed the seed.

I like the way you point out your own mistakes. saves us making them.

[@romandeweese370]

We just bought a summit tractor a couple weeks ago. We live in Southeast Kansas. They are available at any Atwood's in our area. So far it's been a great tractor.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Wow, that's awesome! I'd love more feedback as you gather time on it. Thanks for sharing :)

[@romandeweese370]

I just purchased a tomahawk stump bucket and it works great on my summit tractor.

[@PTProgress]

Getting my tires filled with Rim Guard today! The Summit tractor looks like a great workhorse!

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Awesome, set it up safely

[@shumakern]

Why are you getting the tires filled with rim guard? In the video it says it comes from the factory with it in it.

[@ritterjon]

💥 looking forward to seeing more of what that tractor can do. *Keep on tractoring!*

[@curtanderson8655]

Jon, I looked online and did not see a front mount snow blower or blade. That is one thing that I would miss. Other than that, it does look like a good outfit, just needs a cab

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Good luck with food plots. Good looking tractor.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Thanks Tony, had rain three days in a row after planting...so off to a good start!

Love that little tractor and hopefully your seed bed does well and grows like the other one you put out.

Thanks for the great video and sharing your food plot with us. I’m looking forward to the comparison videos. Blessings

[@francisruzicka4792]

I use Clethodim in my clover food plots and my wive’s flower beds to control grasses of all kinds. It’s deadly on Bermuda and Johnson grass. I’m not sure it won’t kill your screen planting. I enjoy your content and am intrigued with the Summit brand tractor. Keep up the great work! Love your videos.

nice job on the screens and starting the tractor on it's paces

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Looking forward to the 200 hour tractor review, keep working it. The food plot growth looks good, two questions of needing to replant every year and will it grow in shaded partial wooded areas.

[@rodbagley1686]

bought a 1025r before Summit tractor was known to be in existence. Wish the JD had all the extras like the Summit ! JD wants you to bleed red just to make sure they get all your Green$$

[@BentleyCryerHalloweenmaster778]

Love your videos good works

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Thank you so much 😀

[@jeffreyfreeman1485]

OK, this looks like a nice tractor. As far as I can tell, the only dealers are in OK and maybe a couple in MO and TX. Are you going to become a dealer anytime soon? Also, who manufactures these for Summit?

[@rp1645]

Thank you for taking on the (Summit) Line, Testing it against the big comparison Subcompact Line of the BIG guys. I just have a question that you should ask (Summit) what about a mid mount Belly Blade. I ran those for a Paving company. These were purpose built Graders. (Summit) could take a front Blade, cut off TOP just a hair. Mount a (real Grader) blade in the center of the subcompact Line. I was just thinking in my head. There is an adjustment Lower or higher, MOW control. Just think if you could Run a GRADER blade off those controls, raise and lower Blade, just like mower cut height. If (Summit) made that type of mid mount grading Blade. I think they would have a TOOL that NO subcompact MAKES on the market.

[@jakegrist8487]

This is a good channel. I'm considering buying a TX25 next month. My only concern is that there's literally one guy on all of KZbin talking about this tractor. Is there anyone else that has anything to say? I'd feel better if there was.

[@jamesredford430]

That tractor looks like it can handle the work pretty well! I laughed at the "I got a little excited! " 😂😂 Size comparison question... what's the size difference of that Summit tractor & the 1025R? Looking forward to seeing more of that Summit tractor! Thanks again for making such informative videos & honest opinion on the equipment! Stay Safe!

[@wolfpack4128]

I was going to say running that seed through a spreader is a ballsy move. It's tough to get a good feel for how much you're using. It does work well for large seed you need hundreds of pounds per acre for like rye but for anything under 25#/acre it can be tough to get the rate right and keep the seed where you want it. One other tip I learned the hard way. You'll need about 15 yards of screen if you want it to screen your plot all the way through November and into December. Once it goes from green to yellow it loses a lot of its volume.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Hehe, yeah, I think I'll do what I do with clover and brassicas in the future and mix it in with winter rye/wheat. 15 yards wide? 45 stinking feet wide? Whew, that's a lot. I'll have to see how my thicker areas shake out late fall/early winter.

[@wolfpack4128]

@@GoodWorksTractors I should say if you want it to keep blocking your access once the snow hits. I did about 15 feet the first year and was stoked at the results. Then the leaves shrunk once they yellowed and it was still decent. Then we got snow in early November and it did absolutely nothing to screen my approach. Last year I put on the side of my shooting house about 20 yards deep and on the other side about 10 yards deep. The 20 turned out to be overkill. I used 50# of Egyptian Wheat last year and it turned out awesome. I also spread 1000# of urea on it once it got about chest high and it ended up over 10 foot tall.

[@LongBinh70]

I had Rim Guard installed in my 60-hp tractor by my local tractor dealer. Unfortunately, his tech filled the tires - as in FILLED the tires - to the point of no air left for the tire to flex. They rode like a couple of big rocks. No problem, Rim Guard is biodegradable, right? I'll just drain some out. Parked in an unused portion of a field so the valves were at at the 2:00 position, pulled the valve cores and let the excess drain out on the ground (and pants, boots, etc.), then hooked up the air compressor to replace the air. Worked great. Except... take the "biodegradable" with a grain of salt. The grass that the beet juice landed on was deader than if it was sprayed with Roundup. And it never grew back. And boy, did it stink! I finally couldn't take the smell any longer and used the bucket to remove the top two inches of topsoil, mixed it with some subsoil and used it as a weed-free parking area for my attachments. I don't want to badmouth the product - it works great. Just make sure the dealer leaves an air pocket in the tires.

[@stevenmcintosh3303]

I tried planting that tall screen seed (bought it directly from them) and none of it germinated. Planted it in June and nothing came up. Looks like you had good success. Even though it's getting late in the year I think I'll try it again. Instructions say it needs to be planted deep...maybe that was the part I messed up as mine only has a thin layer of soil over it.

[@jdfleetguy28]

Been enjoying the summit tractor content. I have to admit I bleed JD green, but I do love pretty much all things tractor related. You were reading my mind on the physical size, I thought it looks really similar in size to my Gen 2 2025R. Looking forward to seeing those comparisons. I would like to see a turning radius test between all 3 of your JD 25hp machines vs this new summit machine. I would lay odds the 1025R and 2025R will turn sharper or tighter turning radius then the summit, but no idea how the 3025 will do against it.

[@daved7024]

I wish the Summit tractor company all the best. But what about parts and will they be around in 40 years🤔 I will only ever buy the #1 quality built tractor 🚜 company and that's KUBOTA they manufacture all their own accessories and parts and have been in business for over 100years. Nice video ☺️ Thanks 👍

[@blklbluvr]

I really like that Summit tractor. Any idea what they will sell for? Doesn’t say on their web site.

[@jamesbrayall8288]

[@shawnblue1464]

Looked at the Summit website, and only place they are available is Tx. I am just down the road in Kalamazoo, and was hoping that since they chose you to sponsor that they would have something within 1000 miles.

[@carlstrohm3785]

The Summit team made a comment last video, or maybe two ago?, that they were starting south and west and then heading north and east with their network rollout. Maybe 2-3 years to make it country wide I believe he said.

[@curtanderson8655]

Great video, you use what you have at least in our case and move on.

The summit tractor looks like the FEL bucket sticks way out there that has to hurt the lift capacity be only thing I can see so far about it that may be negative

[@robinnorman1170]

How do you like the joystick on the summit looks a little tall and awkward to use?

[@ryanfarmer5155]

Hey Courtney, what is the name of that screen seed? Thanks for the great videos.

Hmm really want to see how this plays out.

[@misterb1080]

Questions….Does the pto lift and stay in position? Does the lift handle have a lock that actually works? Rear diff lock? Pedal or rod poking out? Cup holder will it hold a 32 Oz gulp? Hood latch? These are other questions needing answered.

Any word as to if Summit will distribute outside of the south? I'm up here in Northern Michigan, and my old BX2200 is finally getting ready to be replaced....

[@ingcampthree4523]

I would have just back dragged the seed with the bucket. I am the alpha compact tractor tester. I have JD, LS, and Bobcat tractors that amaze me that they hold together. I don’t know if that Summit loader would survive my use. It looks like it is way out front, let me know what you think.

I would like to know more about the the seed you planted and where to get it from please

[@earlweaver4205]

Are there plans to to have a quick change loader?

[@rmcdaniel423]

Newbie here . . . I don't understand how something like this can lift or pull more capacity, if the horsepower is the same as a smaller lighter 1025r unit? I think about the scooters we used to have. Both were around 50cc. Wife had a smaller lighter bike, I had a bigger heavier bike. I could never keep up with her because for the same power, her setup was hauling around less stuff. How is it opposite when it comes to these tractors?

[@hammerandnails73]

How do those 4 headlights perform with the loader on?

[@sancoffsr]

This tractor looks identical to a Mitsubishi tractor many other companies with their badges on it

It's a decent size, but it really needs to get directly compared up with the 1, 2, and 3 series JD's. And I haven't seen a price for it yet, or the dealer network, or if these tractors are associated with Summit Hydraulics.

[@LivingCommonSense]

Nice looking tractor. JD owner here. I don't have a problem paying for known quality brands like Case, Kubota, New Holland or Massey and I'm just speaking my own point of view. If I'm investing in a new tractor brand, its going to be at a significant discount from what I can buy the big name tractors...I'm talking 25-35% discount because in 10 years when the off brand manufacturer is out business, what's my resale on it going to be? If they're only discounted 5-10% off a new JD, why would I take a chance? I'm not hating on Summit. Its probably plenty good and I doubt anyone can sell them with that large of a discount. I looked at some "cheaper" brand tractors and around here, they were not that much cheaper than JD. Hopefully Summit will become an established name and be around forever. The market needs competition.

Really like the tractor, but it’s like a lot of tractors out there. They are a hienz 57 tractor, too many companies have their hands in it. Engine by another company, transmission and axle by another and the body by another. I’m glad a I got a Yanmar, they make the whole tractor with a 10 yr warranty. But don’t worry because no one on KZbin will talk about it, it’s hilarious actually.

Never buy a major piece of equipment from someone that doesn’t have their own service department,you’re just beginning for trouble.

[@dennisveerkamp2707]

Like it or not if the Summit tractor is not $10,000 less then a John Deere or Kubota. It would be not worth the risk to buy. If the tractor and its parts are not be available in 5 to 10 years let alone 25 or more if are not available then the tractor is useless when it brakes down.

[@GoodWorksTractors]

Parts have already been around for years and years. The platform has been in production for quite some time.

[@dennisveerkamp2707]

If the are using the big box store formula where they use Walmart / home depot stores or online and then require independent repair shops to sine up to provide service. that only works until the independent shop get tired of being shafted by Summit also their customers that actually purchased from them get first priority and then the Summit tractor sits collecting dust for days. Like it or not importers come and go daily. Now mater how you spin it they are only a importer not the manufacture. @@GoodWorksTractors

[@GoodWorksTractors]

@@dennisveerkamp2707 Your argument assumes some massive advantage owning Deere or Kubota in regards to parts and service. My equipment sits for weeks or months at either of my local dealers to get fixed. Either waiting on parts or waiting on techs. It’s part of the reason I’ve considered Summit. Those name brands that folks are brainwashed for have very real struggles. I get emails many times week about foolish salesmen and service techs at JD and Bota dealers all over the country. It’s so bad that I have multiple pieces of their equipment that I’m dealing with in “repair needed” condition because I can’t afford to be without for huge chunks of time. So, why pay more for that?

[@dennisveerkamp2707]

Like it or not a lot of other importers have come and gone and the product have no parts available. My insight comes from a independent repair shop that has to deal with the issue of people buying from a big box store and demanding repair support because I sell the same brand of products. Like it or not there will be a John Deere dealer 10 years from now, can you guarantee that there will be Summit support? Like I said they are a importer not a manufacturer they can shut down and walk away. Unless there is a big cost savings is it worth the risk? Just because they offer a few more options can not make sense without a good deal. Tractors have more than 50 year life but if you can not get parts because you choose to buy a new brand and not save alot of money you choose wrong. Tractors are not cars where 20 or so years most are scrap. Tell me how long is the contract Summitt has with the manufacturer?

[@GoodWorksTractors]

@@dennisveerkamp2707 You can’t guarantee John Deere and Kubota will be around. Simply an opinion. Solis is already in the USA and has been for some time now. This is what Summit is based off. Parts are stored domestically. Can’t act like JD and Kubota don’t have to import their parts too. Summit is 30% backed by Yanmar. Be a naysayer, but just be ready to own it when you’re wrong.
