[@ABIAttachments]

Hey Tim, thanks so much for tagging us! We love seeing our manure spreader in action and we're glad that it did a good job for you with the compost and topsoil. 💪

[@adamwagner1987]

I love ABI . I've had a 185 classic manure spreader from them for 8 years now and it's never let us down. They are built very well.

[@stryker5573]

I've got a TR3e and it is great. Good quality stuff.

[@05xlt]

I have looked at smaller manure spreaders for exactly this purpose, but was unsure how well it would work. This video just cost me some more money!😂

[@jddriver9565]

minifarming with tractor time with tim, I love it!Great video!:)

[@andrewkirch5920]

Loving the tractor. I haven't gotten to use it for much yet, but ran into a problem yesterday that, without the tractor wouldn't have gotten solved. I found a heavy piece of slate mixed into the results of a garage cleanup. I'm pretty sure it was from a billiards table. A friend who's in ROTC and I couldn't lift it, so I put the forks on, did a bit of maneuvering, and onto the forks and into the dumpster it went. The tractor projects are going to happen soon. 1. my neighbors had a junk pile of leaves, sticks, and sapling trees behind their garage which spilled a bit into my yard, and I ignored. The new neighbors cleaned their side up. I have ~8-10 saplings to knock down, that ground then needs to be flail mowed, and tilled, then grass seed planted. I also need to clean up an adjacent area used for bees. 2. the top of the back yard was messed up when concrete was removed. I have a pile of mixed soil and gravel that needs to be separated. Once separated the dirt needs to go to the top of the yard, and the gravel behind the garage. 3. the top of the back yard needs to be leveled 4. the gravel "driveway" behind my garage needs to be land planed and leveled, and more gravel added 5. I need to run power to the front parking pad which was poured to charge my Volvo XC90 Recharge hybrid 6. I need to apply ~2 cubic yards of sand to my front yard to level it 7. there is a group of sugar maples in my back yard which are now mature enough to blot out the grass. I need to put down mulch there, and it's difficult to access, so a front end loader will make that take an hour instead of days

[@Kcolby47]

What a nifty tool for such an application, as well as various other materials. Great to see how the forks and the spreader worked with that material. Let’s see what happens next. Blessings.

[@CPUDOCTHE1]

I bought some mushroom compost last year for the garden. I just scattered it with the front loader and then tilled it in a couple of times. it was good enough.

[@photocontrol]

The manure spreader does a great job spreading out the composted wood chips and soil.

[@GrampysTractor]

Woo Hoo Using a manure spreader without the smell. That is a great use of the spreader. Now if you only had some manure, that would be great on top of the chips and soil before the seed went down.

[@terrygroce1594]

Just got a chance to watch this video, I would have wanted to used the tiller on the back of your tractor to mix it in. I love the tiller. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Check out the following episode :-)

[@bobspence714]

Hello Tim.. found your channel at a very good time. Just replaced our old MF210-4, with a new 1025r w/ backhoe. We live on just under 3 acers . The 1025 is agile, very maneuverable . First job was to remove a long row of overgrown lilacs with massive root systems. With technique and patience the hoe got the job done. Very nice, little tractor. I see why you are fond of yours. Thanks for this channel and for being "Gods man". bob

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Welcome! We have 1100+ episodes now. The first 500 or so are entirely 1025r focused. Check em out!

[@Jeff-zk6dk]

Great idea using the manure spreader that really did well can't wait to see all seeded and grass growing keep the video's rolling 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Me too! Can’t wait to show video of it all ‘green’ :-)

[@moparmaga]

Thanks for the bible verse Tim, it got me to researching. The video was good too!

[@dave.lawrence.3894]

That was fun!!!

[@TractorTimewithTim]

We thought so too!

[@andrewjohn9813]

For the last few years I been using a spreader to cover a hiking trail with decomposed wood chips it works amazingly well

[@earlyriser8998]

I think that was the perfect tool for the job.

[@jdfleetguy28]

Great video Tim. Nice to see the loader on old salty.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

This is the 3046r loader.

[@jdfleetguy28]

Yea, I do the same thing. My cab 3046R shares its loader with my OOS 3039R. I would buy another loader, but still holding out some hope Deere will come out with an MSL version at some point.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

@@jdfleetguy28 yea. Of all the Deere loader designs, the 3R loaders are my least favorite. I don’t care for the mounting design.

[@jdfleetguy28]

@@TractorTimewithTim Yea I agree, of all the Deere machines I have had past and present. I think my 5R loaders are by far the easiest to take on and off. I can get the loaders on and off a 5R easy under 5 min. Supper easy.

[@ERICMB24MF37U24F39]

hello Tim, after spreading it with the small disc... nicely incorporated and the soil remains nice and flat before sowing greatings, Eric

[@alittleofthisandalittleofthat]

Wonderful job. That spreader is perfect for the job. 👍

[@peterkoster5053]

Iv looked at Conestoga manure spreaders and you can get what they call a fines pan so it won't drop to the ground off the chain but is forced around the beaters.... helps for clumpy manure.

[@jamesyates5191]

Great video and great conclusion from 1 Peter.

[@frankdrahos8569]

I love that spreader.

[@Not_So_Weird_in_Austin]

First. Nice use of wood chips for compost and mulch. You can turn the chips to make more compost too. From the color of the soil it's clear there is new chips and more composted material. Red = chips Dark Brown = soil.

[@floydferguson5366]

Great video!

[@JimFinlayson]

Great video. I’ve often thought of using a manure spreader to act as a top dresser since top dressers can’t be rented in our area.

[@joelhenderson5404]

Wow wow wow can't do no better!

[@BizzaroTractors]

jack black needs to start saying "I don't think so Tim"

[@shanesherwood343]

I make compost all the time wood chips leaves and such might have to get a set of those forks looks likes a good way to move it and help with Turing the pile

[@E_R_I_K]

Looks like great results Tim. Boy the gardener in me is hoping you got a second wagon load of that compost, and if you run it through a sifter to sieve out wood chips, and incorporate that into your garden / corn patch!

[@davidhoughton796]

x,

[@Thecowboy1950]

I have had a small spreader for some 35 years and have spread horse manure from 10 to 6 horses every year this years pile is ready now but I’m still doing a little work on my loader so it will be a week or two before I do the spreading

[@FelipeColby]

Looks like that spreader is good enough to spread even butter.

[@2009rummell]

I wish someone made a small side slinger manure spreader the old knight ones. Those things could spread anything. Even water.

[@jamesberg3106]

Manrrrr. Love how you guys say it

[@TractorTimewithTim]

My uncle called it ‘Banure’

[@hudsonvaganis7855]

You should do a video of fixing the dump trailer mine is doing the same thing just not as bad

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Ok. We’ll put it on the list.

[@dalewallace3812]

The city where I live turns all the yard waste trees and leaves and grass clippings collected into compost or fine mulch it gets mulched and screened twice and they give it away as much as you can haul

[@angus4202]

need some side boards on that spreader

[@jeffwalker3768]

That would be good to till in to garden

[@barelystablefarm7151]

Yep, need a full time mechanic when you have all kinds of equipment!!

[@hpw59]

You got a neighbor Doug too just like Hometown Acres😂

[@hpw59]

You're going to be weed eating that bank if you don't cut that slope back some... but don't you have that boom mounted mower?

[@hpw59]

Thank you for showing me another tractor attachment I need that I can't afford LOL❤

[@jimmerrithew453]

When Neigbour Doug was mentioned, I expected Adam to walk into the scene.

[@robertcope7873]

Use your tiller to incorporate it.

[@Ericfap]

It may be a little late in the project but have you thought about installing a siphon pipe for the fire department to use in case of a fire? We have one on the family farm in Illinois where water isn’t readily available but from the pond.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Talked with the insurance company a few years ago…not worth the pain.

[@E_R_I_K]

I was thinking running the ventrac seeder with the vibratory tines (without seed) might incorporate the topsoil without bringing up the subsoil like roto tilling would.

[@mattphillips4260]

that spreader would be perfect for a 5 or 6 maybe more horse or even cow pig hobby farm set up what about setting the tiller up to mix it in real good then power rake it down to seed

[@SWAMPHUNTER644]

Wood chips as they decompose actually remove more nitrogen from the soil then they add. As they decompose, they become more slow release nitrogen. Compost is more of a soil amendment than it is a fertilizer. Compost is about a 1-1-1 fertilizer at best. You will see in your grass what is happening with nitrogen. It may take several more years for it all to break down. Do a soil test and adjust the pH so the fertilizer becomes available.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Yep. We’ll have to add nitrogen.

[@SpartanZapp]

I like seeing how much you old salty is getting lately

[@TractorTimewithTim]

[@tractorworkandmore411]

@@TractorTimewithTim thanks

[@TallTexasGMan]

Thank you for showing this. I have been wondering if I could spread Dino Dirt (composted bio solids from our municipal wastewater treatment plant). I have considered trying to use my rotary fertilizer spreader (large 3pt unit), but this would obviously work much better. I think a PTO model would be ideal so you could apply heavier at slower speeds.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

This one has 3 speeds. We were running in lowest speed. Kinda wanted hopper to hold enough for a full round.

[@anthonyg6924]

When is the pond going to be full? How is it being filled and replenished?

I think you spoke of this before but what is the cart you ride Christy?

[@TractorTimewithTim]

We intend to do a full review soon.

[@charlieronk7909]

Tim I’m looking for the best way to spread DG to make a 4” deep 6 ‘ wide walking path around a 10 acre property. Would this work with out the spinners/ beaters? Or do you have a better attachment?

[@TractorTimewithTim]

It might work. Or one might be able to slow the spinners via different gearing. It is driven by a roller chain, so, could change sprokets as necessary.

[@charlieronk7909]

Thanks for replying guys. Definitely worth a try for the large walk way I need to build.

[@shaneoates335]

Why do you use narrow tires on the tractor you were operating? Is it to keep from running over the garden rows?

[@TractorTimewithTim]

The only Ag tires available for the 3R are narrow. I may pursue wider tires sometime.

[@andysmith5220]

I want to thank you for teaching so much about 1, 2 and 3 series tractors. When I purchase my 1st small place I'll now have a good understanding to purchase the right size tractor for the given property size. And also, I know that skid steers and excavators have their place but the tractor with bucket and 3 point seems rather universal. The excavator might have more uses if it's on wheels like those in europe but here I'm not so sure. But I really love the 3 series seems to be a great all rounder

Because it is ground driven. So, ground is driving the tire…where on tractor, the tire is driving the ground. So, technically, they are on properly. Make sense?

[@ArjayMiller_TEAMSPYPOINT]

I have a feeling this mulch/compost will leach into your pond and cause the water to be darkened or black 🤷🏻‍♂️

I doubt it. Should be good bentonite barrier, and no external water allowed in.

Not using liquid ammonia? Damn hippies! LMAO. Natural fertilizer wow.... progress.

Actually, these chips, since not fully decomposed will ROB nitrogen at this point. So, yes, nitrogen will be needed. Maybe they will be decomposed enough next year to help.
