Hallo chisty you are doing great with the vintrac!and tim your work on these bushes looking good to ,specially the grapple is an outstanding pice of equippment,so to speak every property owner need one.have a nice week over there.

[@markmccoy1304]

I have a JD 5045e. I love my Tractor. The Loader is very strong. 3,600 # lift. I make my living with my Tractor and have been very blessed. We do clearing, make pads for builds, grade, install catch basins and various drain pipes. Retaing walls, waterfalls, sidewalks, pavers etc. I'm considering a Backhoe attachment in the near future. I'm living my dream. Every good gift comes from The Father above. I am grateful.

[@OneStepHomestead]

Your so right on how to learn..... Another way to learn before buying a tractor......offer to help a nieghbor........theres alot of older people that have a tractor yet cant do the manual labor .....often times will help teach you how to run thier tractor for helping them. Thats how i started... ..9yo in school raking lawns with a wheel barral then next thing im using thier tractor bucket as the wheel barrow and then bushhogging....

[@steventhomson2042]

Really enjoyed watching the power rake shape that slope. The more I watch I am thinking I need a Johnny 2 with the 270B backhoe attachment! Great video!!!!

Hi Christi &Tim, For grading the hill like you did, I don't think that is any other tool that could have done as nice a job as the Ventrac with the power rake. A 3 point box blade, while it might work, never would have been able to fine finish it. Looks awesome!

[@Drew6709]

Looks great. For me not having Vinnie or Johnny with a backhoe. I'd probably use my boxscraper and loader and/or the TR3 rake to RIP and level as needed. Result looks spectacular.

[@incubatork]

Who needs a road grader when you have a vinny 😉 You can help the grass grow by sprinkling fine cut straw over it, it helps stop river ruts forming in a downpour and insulates the surface against frost till the new grass takes hold. Looks like good soil so it should come back quick and may no be worth it.

[@charlieronk7909]

I have a pair of ISO tunes pros and really like them. You mentioned that the new ones have a different dec. rating. I think the only thing that I struggle with is the fact that they work to well. I find it extremely hard to hear anyone around me unless I remove a earbud. Also if I use them in my shop it’s hard to here the sound of a tool to tell how it’s laboring. With that said I would like more volume for my iPhone radio. I do love that I’ve used them for over eight hours at a time and never ran out of power. They’re also extremely comfortable. I’d Love to try out the new pair you just demonstrated to see how they work out. Keep the great videos coming and God Bless.

[@jlbush8249]

Good call on not bringing too much equipment. There’s hardly a job that a standard loader and backhoe can’t accomplish. Yeah, more toys can make the job easier, but a standard machine will get it done. For example, lay out a long ratchet strap and pile the brush on it, then run one end around that back side of the bucket and ratchet it tight...walla poor or cheap mans grapple. Ha

[@bobcatsmith246]

It's nice to see a husband and wife working together. Most husbands and wives couldn't work together.

[@triplehfarmsllc7348]

I guess that’s true kinda if acouple can’t work together then they aren’t really a couple when your not married your 2 and when you get married that 2 becomes 1 flash so I myself believe a true marriage in faith can and will succeed in anything they do together. Even my wife she will jump on and do whatever as well as anything she does I do the same even in her crafting leather purses even earrings a marriage requires a lot of dedication and isn’t one sided

[@OneStepHomestead]

Yup......moving a backhoe without turning is better in nuetral....... also for side to side moving raise the outrigger a bit on the side oposit you want to slide to.......it helps alot. Ive made about 5mi of 10ft wide driveway with a 410 backhoe. It wasnt as fast as an escavator that ive done roadwork with in a 320 cat but i made due... ...and they are still using the driveway and no issues

Do you have a safety disconnected? How can you not have your tractor in neutral when operating the backhoe? Wouldnt it shut off if your not in the driver seat in gear?

[@JustinHEMI05]

Whoa! Wireless ISOTunes? So in!

[@janskoropinski10]

Doesn’t running the tractor at low RPMs cause it to have to regen more often?

[@jonnyjetstreamer997]

Well it certainly makes sense to have your tractor in neutral to move it with the excavator but at the same time seems like it would be very dangerous. What if you were on a hill and you went to move the tractor while seated on the backhoe and it starts rolling away? What does the operators manual say about this?

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Uh, ..put the bucket down? :-)

[@peterleveillee1321]

At 8:50 you say the tractor was in low gear and hard to pull back. How can that be? Doesn't the tractor stall if left in a gear position?

[@profdave2861]

Did you try to use the grapple to rip out those bushes? I have found that coming under the roots with the root rake and pushing forward while cycling the curl does a fantastic job of pulling the bushes out by the roots while rolling and compacting at the same time.

[@fralin1966]

You mentioned you had an issue not being able to move tractor forward and back with the backhoe you commented it was in gear How were you able to run the backhoe with the tractor in gear and get off the seat without it shutting off ????

[@ltsnipe292]

How are those tires in the snow?

[@matthewmattholew7905]

I would think that if your going to do maximum curling force on something that doesn't want to budge, I'd think you would want the tires on the ground, those stabilizers are really moving around and that seems like it will eventually damage the outriggers as they are not meant to see loads in that direction.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Uh no. The outriggers are built to handle the load.

If you had to do it all over again, which tractor would you buy first the 1025 or the 2038? Apologies if this is a redundant question. Thanks for the videos and your advice.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

difficult question. On 1/2 acre...where I was when I bought the 1025r, I would definitely choose the 1025r again. Now that we are on 10 acres, I would choose a larger tractor. ...at least the 2038r, but likely the 3046r.

Tim I think you are a good guy. You have to break up the grass before you put fill over it.

[@sethcollins3313]

Tim question for you. have you ever used a hydraulic cylinder for the center link on your three point hitch? My dad has one that he uses on his Duetz DX130 and with a Gnuze rear bucket. Advantage, able to lengthen the center link to dig and yet shorten it to get a higher lift. I believe the one he has is specifically made for this application. Also wonder if they make them for the compact tractors. Curious your thoughts. Thanks!!!!!!

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Vinny has one. I haven’t used it. Yes, you can get them for small tractors. Cost effective too.

[@sethcollins3313]

Don't know if Vinny's would work on Johnny but would be interesting to see how much extra lift one would get and if there are other "real life" limitations one would have to consider.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Johnny doesn’t have a rear scv to control a hydraulic top link.
