Tilling 3 Acre Yard with Sub Compact Tractor; John Deere 1025R Tackles Huge Landscaping Project!

[@PawPaws_Place]

I just did my first extra job for pay with my 3025e. Used the grapple to pick up junk and put in a 35’ dumpster the home owner provided and then ran the rotary cutter to finish out. $50 an hour for 6 hours. I felt good about it and your videos helped motivate me to give it a try. Thanks. ☺️

[@arturocuevas4306]

that area looks like heaven, so beautiful , good land and far away neighbors.

[@paulswenson2454]

I grew up on a 260 acre dairy farm in Wis. We had 2 Ford 9N - 25 horse tractors and I spent a lot of nights plowing fields until midnight and going to school the next day. Yes, you can do a lot of work with a small tractor. I really enjoy your videos. Keep it up!

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Thanks for your comment, Paul!

[@allenjackson1371]

You can never have enough tractors. Johnny has done more that I would have thought but a big brother to Johnny would be a great addition. You all take care and God Bless

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Really is amazing how much work Johnny can do.

[@grandpapete417]

Speaking as a salesman all my life, I can smell a new tractor coming.

[@anthonytosco802]

Love your attitude Tim, you have a great outlook and we are indeed in the service business to serve our customers , great job my friend

[@seansysig]

TTWT's content is a little kid & a big mans dream.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Thanks!!!!

[@AdamMuhle]

Our 18 month old son rarely gets to watch TV. But he is obsessed with my 1025r so we threw this up on the TV. I've never seen anything on the screen hold his attention like Tim tilling.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Wow. Our youngest fan! Thanks for the story, Adam.

[@robertduncan2742]

You guys please be safe in the rough time our world in. Thanks for the films

[@TheProCut17]

listening to you around the 13:00 mark in the shop. You're a good man Tim

[@livelearnwiththefarmers5288]

I've watched three times this doesn't get old to me thanks for videos

[@pctatc66]

it would be interesting to do a follow-up visit and see how her yard looks now!

[@dcyphrz8532]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@rayeddy528]

Great job Tim and Christy !!! You all take such pride in your work ! Don't see that much these days !! I think of an elder deacon friend of mine that says " It's not how high you jump , it's how straight you walk when you hit the ground " !!! You all are a great example of that ! Such a good witness !! I love it ! Christy take care of that foot. Listen to your body , it will tell you when enough is enough !! Be safe and God bless you all !!!! Eddy

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Thanks Eddy. I didn't realize something like that would show through in this video. We do of course want to do the job RIGHT. ..just didn't realize it would show

[@mattygersh544]

I just love to watch your videos simply because your just nice people. Keep up the good work. And great videos and commentary

[@perryspradlin6779]

Thank you Tim hope Dad keeps geting better .Job like this just take time thanks for the great video.

[@mattsbrute]

You are spot on with the customer part. Many times you have to push your machine beyond what its meant to do and hope for the best. Once you start your committed! You own that job until its done.

[@Farmer-zx5in]

I just picked up my new 1025r with 70 hours, love to see the videos, hopefully it stops raining here! Keep up the good work Tim!

[@RockhillfarmYT]

That was definitely a big job for a little tractor. Your point about finding a way to get a job done even if you run into unexpected problems is so true. The first job I did for a customer there were tree roots and rocks everywhere I was tilling

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Yep. Are you there to solve the customer’s problem, or the ‘play with your tractor’?

[@davidroberts3223]

Nothing sounds better than a diesel grunting. Nothing smells better than fresh turned dirt. Yours truly Sally

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Come on, no comments about the tractor running while I pried that rock outta there? You are dropping the ball, Sally! :-)

[@davidroberts3223]

Last year I tilled over tree root ball cage. Really made the tractor grunt didn't stop the tractor. Your slip clutch must be working properly.

[@johnburk9157]

Tolling in both directions is always the best

[@dougbarry100]

I call it John Deere therapy! I too have a 1025 with a tiller and did 2 acres on my 4.5 acreage to get t it ready for seeding after house construction. My 48” Frontier tiller did a great job even with all the rocks. Enjoy!

[@wickedcoyote271]

I really like using a reverse rotation tiller for rocky areas. The rocks tend to not get stuck as much. My small 30in hydraulic tiller is reversible which is really nice to be able to flip it around for different conditions. Though I tend to use it most in reverse rotation. Where I live, all the topsoil was stripped and sold and all we have is clay. It’s a real challenge getting grass to grow.

[@aaronburford5701]

Love the content, tilling action! Tim you have the best content.

[@jesseamaya4594]

Gotta comment again, Doing a job this weekend where I'll be pulling brush with the backhoe at $35 an hour (Usually charge $50. an hour but person is someone I know and they are just down the road so brush hauling can be done with the grapple) and I'll be doing it at 10 hour swaths at a time as the customer can afford it. Still just starting out so also using the job as experience and advertising. Used to clear bland using much larger equipment (D8K) so it will be a learning experience for me as well. Biggest worry is that customer is happy with the job when I am done. and yes, your videos are a BIG help. thank you. Last note. My first job was over 10 hours with a shredder with the 1025 during August in south Texas. Customer was thrilled with the job (burnt over 12 gallons of fuel, Machine earned it's keep that day.) and Yes, i can honestly say that the longest day on your own machine doing honest work beats the tar out of any day working for someone else.

[@asagmeis]

This was a trip down memory lane for me. I spent many hours sitting on the tractor doing the same thing. Used my 1025r to plant just under 3 acres. Tilled it with the same tiller, raked with a 6 foot landscape rake, and then spread starter fertilizer and seed. I laid down 450 lbs of seed. I did rent a brillion seeder to apply the seed. This saved me as we had some heavy rain several days after seeding. I feel the washout was way less due to the cultipacker on the seeder. Great video though.

[@geraldhaury4199]

I enjoyed your video. I really miss disking for my uncle with a little 730 John Deere. It was so easy to drive when I was 13 & 14.

[@jimbennett1519]

Makes me glad I chose the 2038r. Probably the best $$$ I have ever spent

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Yes. Very nice tractor!

[@marcth37]

When i was young at my parents home we had about a quarter acre that wasnt used(an old pasture).My father said we re gonna make it good;my uncle came in the fall with his molboard plow and he came back in the spring with a disc,we put seed on and he harrowed it;3 weeks later the grass was up and the field was really pretty!

[@mikefortune4796]

Great job Guys Tim dont underestmate yourself or Johnny you done a great job Christy i hope your foot gets better very soon good luck guys

[@yeahrightbear8883]

Wow that's such a nice flat open piece of land. Forget grass I'd be planting vegetables there. That's plenty of room for a nice garden.

[@theburnhams2925]

Watch your engine hours Mates! (He's the only truly un-biased observer of the project...) Good as usual. Sorry about your foot...get well soon! (always appreciate your contributions!)

[@justinwright6611]

Tim The Sub Compact Tractor King? That amount of tilling with a tractor that size and in the time you did it is impressive!!!

[@TractorTimewithTim]

It was fun, that is for sure.

[@stephenseaney1794]

I enjoy watching your videos it be nice to see what the yard looks like later in the season

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Long way from our house. Maybe we’ll get invited back for more work. Who knows?

[@marshallman1au]

TTWT .... Bring this thread to your customer's attention ...... :)

[@johnnyadams7722]

I have a 3038e it worked good just wasnt strong enough to pull the box blade . So we went and purchased a 4044r with power reverser great tractor strong enough to pull six foot disc ,and five foot tiller.

[@johns17m]

I’m really enjoying the longer videos! More time to watch that green machine.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Seems like folks are watching the longer videos, so we decided to make more. We used to limit ourselves to 10’min or so. Thanks for the feedback!

[@Jasonrcsd]

this video is very close representative to my place in Wyoming. Except I have 7 acres (5 acre empty lot that borders the 2 acres the house sits on) basically all flat and a lot of clay soil. Last 3 seasons I've mowed it with a 42" John Deere D130 mower. Not this year, I'm so sick of spending all weekend mowing. I'm not even sure I can get my kids to mow even by paying them a lot. Your videos demonstrate the versatility and usefulness of a compact tractor. Last Mother's Day my wife wanted me to till a garden. Great lady, works hard at our family business (Thisjoyfulhome) and it was her special day. Well she laid it out on engineering paper, I about fell over when I saw the scale. Her garden was 50'x100'...and clay soil! The only tiller I had on hand that day was a little 6" wide by 4" deep (felt smaller than that) electric tiller she used to till around the house. We live in rural Wyoming so on a Sunday on Mothers Day there aren't a lot of stores open that have equipment for rent. Anyway I managed to convince her to shrink the garden to 20'x20'. Took me all afternoon and evening to till with that little electric tiller. She got her garden though. This year I would like to give her that big garden but this time using the proper equipment. I'm glad I found your channel! A lot of useful information and enjoyable entertainment. Appreciate your sense of humor! Best! Jason

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Great comment! Welcome to our channel!

[@jasoncastro7486]

Again a great video!!! Been a watcher for a bit and never a dull moment. Thanks guys!!!

[@beardmantimbergrassjmisch1977]

Nice job, now at the end finishing with the lights on working till dark that’s the farmer in him. You are right when doing work for others you are there to do a job so you figure the best way to complete the job and make your customer happy and do a good job that you yourself would be happy with if it was your personal property. I just keep in mind a couple extra dollars out of each job to keep up with maintenance of your equipment. Keep the great videos coming. Thanks again, Jeffrey Misch

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Agree with all that. ...especially the "lights on to finish"

[@waceymitchell6786]

my 4 year old loves watching yalls vids... he loves tractors... well now he has me hooked and now i want to buy some property just to give the wife a reason we need a compact tractor lol

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Well, we only have 1/2 acre :-)

[@idlesquirrel]

I have the same concept. The builder brought in some orange sandy dirt.. not clay but definitely orange sand not sure what you call it. But its just around the house for the grade. I have 3.5 acres and plan to rent a rototiller to do the same. I have a 25hp tractor now just not a tiller. The nearest sunbelt you can rent the tiller for like 90 a day. You guys did a great job and mine isn’t as level but very close. Thanks for the vid!

[@barelystablefarm7151]

You should do jobs like this on a Saturday morning that way you have plenty of time! The travel sounded like it took half the time of doing the whole job! Otherwise, it’s impressive what that did and to be honest I would have guessed much longer. Thanks for the longer vids! Very enjoyable.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Thanks for the feedback on the longer videos. I'm glad to hear you like that. We can see the analytics, and see that folks generally watch ALL of the video. So, we decided to make them a bit longer. Rain was predicted to start Friday night late. ...so, we rushed it to get it done. We had originally planned it for Saturday.

[@homesteadspirit9209]

i had the same issue you had wit johnny and the sod and wet dirt with my little blue when we tried out the mower deck for the first time. the wet tall grass from last year made him bog down big time the little guys really love to show what they can do though!

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Yep, they pull pretty good for their size.

[@CPUDOCTHE1]

I bought my wife a little 3038e for Mother's Day a couple of years ago. She couldn't really operate the clutch on the bigger tractors. We only live on 80 acres so she can trim around the fields with the brush hog in a couple of hours. We do have a finish mower and use it to mow most of the yard. We built her a pallet fork frame that fits on the quick-tach and bought two forks so she can move stuff around.

[@mikewild5367]

Hi, I have done a lot of tilling, what we did on a soil liken you are going through, but take the first tilling a little higher and when you do the cross tilling set it to full depth. That worked mike UK

[@HardwayRanch]

About ten years ago I tilled 12 to 15 acres with a 5' tiller behind my 29hp tractor. That job took me three days. I never did finish - with only a few passes to go, the tiller gear box broke off a tooth and it jambed up and split open the box! $600 repair bill later I now prepare by plowing or cultivating before I run the tiller. Breaking up the soil like that goes a long ways to ease the burden on the tiller. Thanks for the videos.

[@ducati135]

The tr3 rake works really well for ripping up and smoothing out. I’ve had mine for about 20 years. Just used it again today.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Probably pulls easier (and faster) than a tiller too!

[@ibjeterhere]

Years ago I had a five acre yard for my house and after tilling I got myself a 6 by15 foot chunk of chain link fence and put a six foot piece of railroad tie at the tractor end and pulled it all over for a few hours, it busted up the clots and leveled the yard at the same time, just say’n :)

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Yes, that is a good approach. Our soil pulverizer would have worked GREAT on this property, accomplishing the same goal you accomplished.

[@arturocuevas4306]

following you from Puerto Rico, I have 7 acres flat great land and this coming year I expect to move there and enjoy farming as a retired person. Great video, let see another, is like classes for me.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Excellent! We visited Puerto Rico a couple of years ago.

[@firionrazar3797]

Didn't even thought you can do such hard work with those small tractors. Well done!

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Yes. Agreed. They will work. I’ve heard many (some even within the last 10 min in these comments) say that you can’t do anything with these tiny toy tractors. I beg to differ.

[@firionrazar3797]

Well, let's just make the math and scale it up... So a 180hp tractor to 30 acres. That's not even a big task for it. The most important part is that you had fun and that's why you deserve the like! Regarding the headlands. People do it both ways, but mostly my company stays on the field, because you carry a lot of dirt on the road if you turn there.

[@fishing4fun903]

Great job, I like dragging the property after tilling. It helps level it and break it up a little more.

[@alanm3438]

Good job. That is huge yard. At least it was flat. I used to work at Grissom Air Force Base but that is way north of where you are. Good job. I hope they grow a lot of trees there.

[@vetter847]

I watched this video three years after it was posted; rumor is Tim is still tilling that yard to this day.

[@mattlappin4284]

Been so wet in central Indiana this year. Friday was so nice then more rain into snow over the weekend.. I'm ready for summer

[@TractorTimewithTim]

This was Friday/Saturday...just before all that rain. Where are you in central Indiana?

[@mattlappin4284]

Tractor Time with Tim east of Muncie. Weather went from nasty to summer finally

[@charlesanderson6226]

Good job guys, I just bought that same tiller for mine. my garden is 65'x65'.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

You'll be pleased with the tiller. Of course, this is Tiller Rule #1!

[@jennynorman4856]

Not boring. I want one.love from Sydney

[@MyHMMWVaddiction]

My first thought was to use a disk . Thanks for mentioning why you couldn't. Great video as always.

[@RC-1207_]

I've gotta say Tim your swag level went up a ton with that TTWT flat brim.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Hey, you too can have one! I’m not sure I’m a flat-brim type, but it won’t bend easily!

[@mjpopp]

We farmed SW of Houston. Always called them Turning Rows. Most of our fields had Turning Rows but if I could pull the rows up to the road I preferred it. As Turning Rows are wasted land due to the amount of compaction from driving over them for the turns. Crops dont grow well with compacted soil.

[@nashguy207]

Tim would it be possible to or feasible to rent a larger tractor and equipment for a while when you need it for the larger jobs? I know you only do what the customer ask but at minimum the customer needed to put down gypsum to help with the soil compaction. I figure she needed 1000 to 1250 pounds of seed to seed that size of an area also as soon as the grass starts to germinate she needs to put out a good quality starter fertilizer That was quit a big job for johnny but it looks like he handled it ok' Sorry to hear Christy's foot isn't healing up like it should. Will pray for her. Enjoyed the video as always. Have a great week god bless!!!

[@uTubed007]

About 300 videos of our adventures already. Hope you enjoy. Welcome to our channel.

[@robertcgage]

Thank you for uploading.

[@jamesdiehl8690]

Pulverized top soil with organic mulch about 2 inches thick would probably help those stripped areas. I worked for myself for 18 years doing painting/paper hanging/lawn work and I agree, you have to comply with what the customer wants. Sometimes they don't have a clue! No offense met on Johnnie's abilities, but I think I'll wait for a 10125 to come out. So what if I become airborne. I'll see if green tractor has wings I can order.

[@ronmack1767]

Evening Tim & Christy. I think it took 2 1/2 hours to till the whole yard. Enjoyed the video. Thank you for your time. Christy, sorry your foot is not getting back to normal sooner. I will be praying for you.Y'all take care and God bless.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

We gave the answer near the end...

[@mikedickson2925]

"Watch the field behind the plow turn to straight dark rows". A line from a song by Stan Rogers. You reminded me of the farmer in that song. Nice job, and big. Sure sounds like you just about have yourself talked into a bigger tractor!!!

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Easy to talk ones self into it...harder to spend the money. Of course, we already bought ONE...but you heard that story I’m sure

[@davefontaine5816]

My soil is still muddy up here in NE CT, been picking rocks with the backhoe prepping for the King Kutter XB I ordered today. Your videos have helped me make a lot of these choices, so thanks for doing what you’re doing. 👍🏼🍻

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Thanks Dave. I hope we’re directing you properly. You’ve seen the videos for yourself. We do our best to show accurate results...so hopefully you will be satisfied.

[@davefontaine5816]

Tractor Time with Tim one quick question, before you modded the tiller to make it quick hitch compatible, did you have to cut your driveshaft?

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Yes

[@davefontaine5816]

Tractor Time with Tim thanks again. Just found a video with great instructions on how to measure your cuts for your shaft without mounting the implement. 👍🏼

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Just cut it ‘longer’ than you think. If you don’t have quick hitch, you WILL eventually get one. You don’t want it too short in that case.

[@peterkober6758]

Tim Cristi I enjoyed hope there grass grows we had a blizzard here lot of snow 20 to 30 inches with wind gust to 50 mph God Bless PaK

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Ugh. We had flurries all day yesterday.

[@PhatboyHD88]

Hek 5 hours for that yard isnt bad at all.. a Saturday afternoon really..these type of videos i really enjoy watching..

[@kamberli545]

If/When you go up to a bigger tractor the speed control panels are nice. When I was doing the brushhog the cruise control was nice for the straights. I can't imagine that the tilling is any different.

[@sonsofthunder3100]

Here in the northern coastal plain of South Carolina farmers I work with do the end rows more like you did in this video. But it seems like the shape of the field makes a lot of difference in the way they do it. Great video! Debating a sub compact or compact tractor, so I've enjoyed the videos as you guys look at tractors.

[@marshallman1au]

Sons of Thunder Really good for us old disabled "Armchair farmers" ..... :)

[@mikeclement5383]

I have an old JD318 with tiller. I have a 3.5 acre plot I want to plant some cereal grains. I plan on getting a full size Ag tractor eventually. I hope it works this spring and next until I can buy a bigger tractor.

[@tycanavan3705]

The 2038R has a nice electronic cruise control, plus it will handle the 3 series implements. I know you would love it like I love mine, I pull 72" implements all day long.

[@wiedapp]

From what I see you should look for draft control. Eventually your tractor already has it, maybe you have to retrofit it, if available. But if you're planning to purchase a new one, you should get that option, especially for ground work like tilling, grading and stuff. Messick's has a good explanation video to the draft control and what it does.

[@tylersingleton9284]

When I need more weight, I strap a trash can or barrel to the implement and fill it with water. Easy to regulate the weight and when your done you just empty it.

[@doct0rnic]

Ive seen a two disc disc plow mounted on the 3 point,i bet Johnny could pull one of those, disc plows are good for rocks

[@coypatton3160]

Tim I noticed a safety concern during this video. Your pto shaft shield should not spin with the pto shaft. It should be attached to the implement and tractor on each end. New shields usually come with light weight chains for this purpose. FYI there is a grease fitting near the flared portion to keep the bearing inside lubed. You should find a loop in this same area for an attachment point for the chain. Please for yourselves and other viewers be safe!

[@louskunt9798]

Does this pose a danger for us viewers? She we stand back from the screen while he’s using the tiller?

[@FloridaDeere]

Tim, I just did my biggest project yet, spread 6 loads of dirt in a 70X30 yard area for a ball field and, used the land plane and then they wanted it tilled. It was a job for sure, paid $600, but I was there for about 7 hours and then travel time, as it too was about 45 minutes from the house. But once you commit, you are right, we need to see the job through.

[@FloridaDeere]

add it wasn't rocks for me, but large stump chunks, I like your crow bar idea, I need to incorporate that

[@michaelhall4846]

Hey Tim from iowa falls iowa here we do the head lands here also as you said mid west thing like watching your videos to see your reviews on things keep up the good work and having fun god bless

[@darthvader4hire]

Tim, that looked like FUN!!! you got to go FULL THROTTLE and TILL SOIL!!! even if the job paid crap you got to go out and let loose:)

[@TractorTimewithTim]

I always run full throttle with tiller

[@williegardner9290]

Tim, I farmed in VA. and NC. and we never went out in the road, we did just like you, do the main part of the field then the end rows. Oh well to each their own. Great job, give Johnnie a rubdown and a fresh quart of oil.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

I think it is tobacco country. All equipment 3 pt mounted, etc.

[@williegardner9290]

Never did tobacco we were corn, soybeans, peanuts and wheat. Even with the 3 pt mounted equipment we did the ends last. Also tell the wife free pizza is always nice.

[@brochess049]

LOL watching someone till is like watching someone doing freshwater fishing

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Uhoh.

[@Freecan67]

We did it the same way as you Tim. Farmers around here do the same. Its neet seeing you tilling and we are getting over a Ice storm. With flurries tonight. Only in CANADA you say!!!

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Well, we had snow flurries all day yesterday.

[@richardjimenez7394]

Awesome work Tim and wife .

[@boywithlottatoys7039]

I put a hitch on the back of my tiller to pull a cultipacker . Smooths out a lot of the lumps and leaves a smoother seed bed .

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Yep...like our soil pulverizer.

[@marshallman1au]

A good job done .... Nice to see Johnny all "Lit up"! :)

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Yea, good stuff.

[@nielsp914]

Nice video Tim shows what can be done with small equipment, but shows why you might need a bigger tractor.

[@bmaverick2871]

Tim, nice go at it. The tiller does such a nicer job with a CUT than with even a double row disc harrow. Sure, the 1025R is a shade small for the job. A Deere with a Yanmar diesel of 30Hp PTO would have been smoother. Still, the 1025R tackled the job nicely. The tiller you have seems to be fore a sub-CUT. The next size up should work for you.

[@Fraggr92]

To add a bit to the part about "doing the job that you were paid to do", what's gotta be remembered is that it's a tractor. It's meant to work and to get roughed up. Sure it's nice to have shiny new machines and there's definitely nothing wrong with taking care of your equipment, but why do you have a tractor at all if you're not going to use it for what it's designed to do? If you have a tiller but you don't want to hit rocks, then where exactly are you going to till? Rocks are everywhere and you can't get them all out of the dirt before you till. Breaking and repairing stuff is part of owning equipment. So long as you're not outright negligent and abusing your equpment for things it wasn't designed to do or not following up with maintenance, it's going to be fine.

[@clinthemphill]

Farming's an easy life! lol I love that. Your father sounds a lot like mine; it's a tough life.. Spent many nights sleeping behind the seat of a Case 1486 baling alfalfa hay

[@markclark4473]

Looks like a good job form 2 tractors running at the same time.

[@vanlifenomadfirekeeper]

Thats a lot of work. I like the tractor and the tiller. Awsome job ... (-:

[@mi2tn]

Nice! I wish I could have been there with what I have. I've got one of them bumps in my tiller because of a few rocks. Doesn't hurt the tiller, gives it that "I've been used" appearance. I would have loved to see what the difference would have been between your tractor and tiller and mine. I have to redo our garden since this rain we had. I'll put down the fertilizer first this time. Not sure about the lime. Might just put some around the plants and seeds. Good job and Thanks for the video.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Would have been fun!

[@lcazier619]

Just getting my new tiller together today jd647 after watching your tilling I just had to try it

[@TractorTimewithTim]

surprised you went with the JD after my 'choosing a tiller' video.

[@backontrackaustralia3973]

Hey guys, I'm down here in Australia, love the channel and the info you guys present. After watching your youtube I have gone and ordered a new rotary hoe for my new Kubota bx2680. I do a lot of small acreage property jobs and am loving this machine to death. Stay safe and keep up the fantastic work, Regards, Ian, Gecko...

[@dhenschel4]

Thanks for the vid - Someone already commented, but I believe it is incorrect (sorry I didn't read all the comments). The headlands are partly damaged when they turn around during the spraying (fertilizer) later after the crops have started to grow. It would be great to use the road to turn around, however roads are usually raised above cropland and not able to drive up safely with the farm machinery. But then, why don't they go in circles???

[@mrwilson4909]

one thing that TTWT should mention when doing dig or tilling videos is land owners know where utilities are at and tractor operator knows where they are as well. some videos can be construed as you just getting on and start digging - which can cause lots of problems. just a thought for future videos.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

I mention that in almost every episode.

[@kebo57]

Good job Tim, I hope you charged enough to cover your time and expenses! Some questions....How deep does the Bush Hog tiller dig down? How much wear did that 3-4 acres put on the tines? Another person commented down below about using a cultipacker, if you're going to keep doing this type of tilling, you'll have to get one. I have one I use on my food plots and they make a NICE, firm seed bed. One more comment... the homeowner really should have let the tilled yard sit for a week or two before broadcasting seed, to give the old grass/weeds time to die out. Of course, you'll have to go back in a few months, and again next year to take pictures of how that lawn is doing. I have no idea where the property is, but my guess is unless that lawn is fully irrigated, the results may not be what the homeowner is hoping to achieve. Are you a member of Tractorbynet.com? If not, you should be. :)

My tiller I extended the rippers away from the body and braced it and mad more room so rocks don't jam and bend the tines as bad works great. And great video big yard work great job

This just proves that even with a smaller tractor and smaller implements big jobs are still doable... it just takes a little longer.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Yes. Really wasn’t that much of a problem.

[@eosjoe565]

Even with a bigger tractor with say a 6-foot tiller you would probably run at the same ground speed and save several passes. Not that big of a deal. The tiller might be due for an oil change after that workout!

That's getting a lot done in the amount of time you spent and yes rock reck a lot of stuff

We currently own a 1025r. Named him JD. Have you done a video of the Ridgeline towing? We currently own one of these as well, but many overlook its capabilities. Now I'm looking into a low pro dump trailer. That can haul JD.
