RIP Asphalt with Backhoe Ripper!!! Deere 1025R!

[@Sylvan865]

I am so grateful that you feel better Tim. My prayer that you will live a long life so that you can continue to use your servant's heart for others.

[@johnmedlin5894]

Love the ripper, those little things are amazing. So glad that you are feeling and doing so much better Tim, I thoroughly enjoy all of your videos and tutorials.

[@timraber6575]

Trial and error are the best ways to learn how to do jobs like that. Problem solving wins out every time. It got done. Another happy neighbor. Thanks for taking us along.

[@ronalddean4834]

All in all I'm glad you are feeling better, that's the most important thing today. The video is great, thanks for helping a neighbor again, have a wonderful weekend

[@gregfuller4318]

Glad to see you feeling better

[@chasestahl5910]

When using a loader bucket to haul material away from a backhoe I’ve found it best to park the loader parallel to the backhoe tractor. This way you can just swing all the way left or right and be able to fill the bucket in a straight line while also being out of the way. With the compact backhoe it may be a little different though trying to reach across the width of the bucket. I’ve also found raising the bucket a couple feet off the ground also turns it more into a box to dump into than a three sided bucket. Again that’s just what I’ve found to work the easiest for me.

[@gregdavis8152]

So glad you are feeling better!

[@jamesdiehl8690]

Glad you're feeling better, not gasping, grabbing your chest and collapsing. The Lord is watching over you!

[@andysmith5220]

I find watching you do projects on your tractor so enjoyable. Honestly I dont have a use for your tractor with attachments on my yard but still wish I had it all the neighbors projects would be so much fun. Digging out a swimming pool, moving soil far a larger yard with a slope. Cutting large brush on slopes and cleaning retention ponds in subdivision. Great video

[@ilmo2313]

Those specialty attachments make it so much easier. Glad you are feeling better, Tim. You look good with that rake in your hands.

[@tommcmillan3143]

Nice job! Glad to see you are feeling better Tim, it is noticeable how much more energy enthusiasim you have! Keep up the great work!

[@tractorboy31]

Glad your feeling better tim. I just loaded around 30k of logs onto my flatbed trl making 5 trips total. I was maxing out my loader. I wish i had a hydrualic bucket instead of a trip latch. Majority of the logs i had to keep hopping off and wrap a chain tight so i could pick them up. My loader pins are a little loose. I would love to rebuild them. Some times i would like to make it a hydrualic bucket or even rather a set of forks and if bucket needed then go back to trip. I use the manure bucket mostly as forks.

[@bobcatsmith246]

Hello Tim and Kristy, I'm glad to hear that Tim is feeling more active and I can tell Tim has lost some weight. Love the video's keep up the good work and god bless and stay safe.

[@Kcolby47]

That’s a nifty addition to a backhoe. And the price isn’t bad, and could be more easily justified for some projects that would otherwise require renting something else. Thanks again for a practical example of some useful attachments. Blessings to you and Christy!

[@rodbagley1686]

I got the thumb attachment when I ordered my 1025r. Sure could have used that ripper on a stump last week. The thumb worked great. 12 hours later I got the stump out. Love this thing. Thanks Tim for all your videos and pointers along the way. P.S. still haven't put a scratch on my loader bucket.

[@jeffstacy748]

It is sometimes amazing what a small tractor can do. Glad you are feeling better.

[@josephbenge8707]

That ripper worked better than it looked like it would. For that small of a patch I think I would of put about 4 inches of concrete mix in there than packed some 53's on top of that than the hot patch, hope it works out for him with no more issues. God bless!

I need one of these. I don’t know how you keep from just tearing stuff up. If I had all this equipment I’d be out there every day just looking for something new to play with. 😂 I’m really glad that you’re starting to feel better too! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@daviddodd3036]

Good to see you doing better never like seeing people in a bad way

[@ShaneZettelmier]

I think that little cloth was perfect for it. It kind of reminds me of the big D 11 dozers with that hook on the back, they just drive down the road and take that in and go along it eight or 10 miles an hour basically plowing through the asphalt road. Once you got under the asphalt John he did pretty much the same thing in slowMo. 💚

[@chrispileski6640]

Good to see you feeling better Tim.

[@user-bd5md5cm2j]

Cool little ripper. I like that. On bigger equipment, it's a pain to switch components because everything weighs so much. This little guy would be fun because it's so easy to change stufff

[@TractorTimewithTim]

I think you’re beginning to ‘get it’. When you use the word “fun”, you are on the right track!

[@gregnewlin1074]

I believe that is called a sequencing valve on the thumb. When the curl gets to the end of stroke of the cylinder. Fluid then continues to the thumb cylinder. The downside to that setup is you have to fully extend the curl to retract the thumb. I have had to install those on fork positioned on forklift carriages. I currently have a lot of root work to do and need a ripper for the 260 backhoe. Thanks for the video!

[@TractorTimewithTim]

You are correct. However, I find it very intuitive.

[@andrewjohn9813]

That diamond saw blade could have used some water to lubricate cool the blade and keep the dust down

[@dannyixoye262]

Can not do that with an electric saw...not safe...what the guy needed was a gas powered wet saw...which is what every concrete/asphalt worker would have used.

[@ryanr2690]

@@dannyixoye262 Husqvarna makes an electric concrete wet saw, rented one 2 weeks ago. Needs a 30amp breaker but works like a charm in a basement where you don't want gas fumes, or silica dust floating.

[@user-bd5md5cm2j]

Gas hot saw with a dry asphalt blade. You dont use water on a dry blade. It cools it to fast and the blade wont cut. It has to keep melting at a certain temp to expose new diamonds. If it cools too fast the matrix wont melt and you wont get any new diamonds exposed

[@treemonkey_ma1718]

Those saws usually run on a 20 amp circuit plus you need to have an extension cord that can handle it! I learned the hard way and just ended up buying a makita gas saw. You also want to compact it in short lifts. Shorter the better, all compactors have depth ratings and should be followed so that doesn't happen again. Nice small project overall

[@TractorTimewithTim]

12 gauge cord used.

[@toddkratzer7953]

@@TractorTimewithTim 15 amp breaker was the problem.

[@CapeAnnImages]

That saw needed a heavy duty extension cord, the shorter the better to handle the amperage required. I learned that the hard way with my air compressor. With the compressor I added extra hose to reach the driveway from the shed. That ripper was impressive, I'd say the perfect tool for the job. Best Regards, Jay

[@TractorTimewithTim]

This was 12 gauge

Too deep to effectively compact in one go. Fill about 8", compact, another 8" of fill, compact, ...rinse and repeat until it's at the grade that you want.

[@ConstructionMachineryChannel]

Yep, that's the best way to make sure it's compacted.

[@PEI_Guy]

You are absolutely correct. Maybe a jumping jack rather than a walk behind compactor would work better also.

[@gkcontractor8432]

@@PEI_Guy Agree completely that is to small of area for plate compactor and if that was 2 feet deep will never get proper compaction dumping all that gravel back at once.

Yep, with a plate compactor is only good for 3-6” depending on the material and the amount of passes.

4 inches then compact. Repeat.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

That asphalt was much thicker than I expected. Nice job. -Ed

[@photocontrol]

Cool ripper tooth! It worked great for pulling up the asphalt!

[@ccswede]

Those saws for concrete often have a hose port to cut down the dust. My contractor started cutting some concrete at entrance to garage throwing all sorts of dust into garage. I saw port on saw. We connected a hose and no more dust. The contractor had rented saw from a rental place.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

We didn’t want the hole full of water.

[@joeymomma518]

That was TOTALLY AWESOME. Love watching your videos Tim.

[@martineastburn3679]

Wonder if it is an old grey water sifting area - and a sewer line was put in. Might be a builder dump. What a mess. Good job with the ripper ! Considering three of our houses had the dump in the front lawn - paint and all. Killed grass every summer. Dug out a few yards of trash. Then bought dirt. Expensive on the homeowners.

[@brandenhoward6301]

When your digging up asphalt start digging from the furthest end and stick the tooth on the cut you make with the saw. Slot of times those holes are caused by soft soil. Or non compacted ground

[@texaschief8389]

Great video and some really good tips in the thread about working a project like this.

[@joeyshofner639]

Looks like you were having fun. Now that’s a great thing, especially in 2020.

[@rafaelcastro9523]

The reason that happen is because is moisture down there .it where have to be digged up and put dry dirt in there and be pressed down with a damper.

[@rcrogers6]

The length and gauge of extension cords determines the available amperage to power tools.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

This was 12ga. Not the cords fault.

[@rcrogers6]

@@TractorTimewithTim Of course, the only thing a viewer can see is the *apparent* length of the first cord which looks like it comes out of the garage and has loops on the grass. Later, he appears to use a shorter cable that comes out of the garage. He appears to either switch cables or detach an extension. I assume that the saw was rated at 15 amps and 12 gauge would support 50 feet. I was trying to figure out what could have contributed to the saw's overheating. I've never seen a 10 gauge 50 footer, but I do have a 10 gauge 100 footer. Even though it was setup to cut asphalt, 4" is quite a challenge; especially when the blade is fully enclosed by the asphalt.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

The saw did not overheat...he said he first suspected that...but that wasn’t the problem. The breaker tripped.

[@greenwoodsbushhogging6704]

I'd assume that moisture got in the crack you mentioned and let the under layer settle down more. Asphalt and cracks don't mix well, especially in the winter time. Just watch a crack in the road as it freezes and thaws. It'll eventually turn into a pot hole. Also that saw needs a monster drop cord, I'm sure you could of felt the heat along the cord from the wall out.

Thers way to much rock under that asphalt. When I did driveways we removed as much rock as possible just a tin layer. Then we would compact the thin layer of rock into the ground. Then lay the asphalt to much rock under the asphalt you can get soft spots.

This is 12 gauge cord.

[@Jay_Force_One]

Yeah that’s not how electricity works buddy. I’m assuming by “too small” you mean it’s not rated for it. If that were the case, then the saw simply just wouldn’t work or it would be underpowered. What’s happening here is it’s tripping the breaker. So, some sort of circuit overload. Whether that’s because he is running too many high amperage items at the same time or his house has a sensitive circuit box, I don’t have the slightest clue.
