Create Storage Area for Trash Can with Your Compact Tractor!

Tractor Time with Tim helps out Ken, a long time subscriber who lives in Indy. Ken wants to create a storage area for his trash cans but needs Johnny (our John Deere 1025R) to move some dirt, dig out an old post and concrete first.

The amount of work that your tractor did in the short time it took compared to me doing it by hand was tremendous. Johnny is a wonderful tool to have in your arsenal. It got Denise to thinking too. :~)

[@guy5322]

Ken Litherland what is your plan for the project? Are you bringing in more gravel to fill the hole? I think it should of been leveled better and more dirt added to give you 5-6 inches of gravel. That would of saved a lot of gravel.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Ken posted photos of the completed project on the TractorTimeWithTim facebook page. Take a look. It turned out very well.

[@GrampysTractor]

Not a big project only to make a new home for my garbage cans. a small fence and a gate to hide them. The gravel Tim put back in from the pile on my driveway at the end leveled out nicely and filled the hole from the concrete post. I got a yard of drive way stone and it filled it in perfectly with some left over for my shed in the back.

Tim , im not sure weather i"m more impressed with johnny or your wife. Always enjoyed her in the videos . She sure is a keeper

[@mbtjr]

I agree with you two. It was safe. You two know what you are doing. You two communicate with each other when you are working. You are husband and wife and obviously are always looking out for each others' safety. Nothing crazy at all going on there. Great job working together!

[@nielsp914]

Ken I would have to say is my favorite customer you have. Watched video second time, love it.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Ken is also a big fan. Have you seen the episode wheee he came to our house to ‘try out’ our 1025r?

[@robhawkins2524]

A shoutout from Ontario, Canada. Really enjoying your videos. Just bought a 1025r and you guys have been hugely helpful in understanding the best way to tackle projects. I dont think what Christie did was unsafe at all being as how you both work so closely together and trust each other. That being said, some people would criticize if you drank water from a hose and call that unsafe !! You guys are so patient with us "newbies". You are very much appreciated. Thank you and stay safe !!

Good for you Tim and Kristie, we get things done the way we have to. Safety regs don't always know what's going on

Tim, don’t listen to those keyboard warriors that make comments of things they may think are unsafe. I’m a big believer in doing what you have to do (within reason) to get the job done. There wasn’t any point that I saw it looked like you didn’t have full control of what was going on. Another job well done guys!

[@houndsmanone4563]

Great video Tim, Christy, and Katriel. Enjoyed a full watch. Great video

[@mrgoodwrench1103]

People these days are so concerned about rules and regulations that common sense is being overlooked. Common sense is your natural ability to make good judgments and to behave in a practical and sensible way. I find it hard to believe that you would ever put yourself, or family in harms way for the sake of any job. Keep up the good work.

I like when you were discussing the safety aspects and Ken was like hey lets get back to work! LOL! Safety is a relative matter.

Hey Tim, you’re having too much fun on your job. 😂 the thing about it is people that has larger equipment wouldn’t take on small jobs like that. You have a great thing going and it’s working for you.

Kenny needs to be in more videos, maybe you could have some of the fan faves in one video.

[@tomkeating65]

I've been counterweight on a load before where I had to sit on the load while be hoisted up on a forklift. You got to adapt sometimes. Might I suggest using some sort of grappling hook for loads like that? Also, while my brain is working, that time where you were scooping out the weeds in that creek, maybe fabricate a small rake to make it easier? You made the right decisions on purchasing Johnny. It does the job. Another great video. Have a good day. 🤔🤔🤗🤗🤗

[@lorzon]

Christy "clamping" down on the root wad is a perfect example of "doing what you gotta do with what you have at hand".

[@AgriculturalLife]

Few years back, I got a talk with a Avant engineer. He told me to go on with my tractor instead of buying a Avant loader. Just because a tractor can do so much more than there equipment. So what you show here is completely correct, you just beat a skid steer with Johny. Now you have Vinnie, and that's a nice addition next to Johny.

[@richardm1631]

Johnny did another great job he the right size for that job

[@larrymortimer4833]

I just ordered a set of chain hooks and was about to buy a grade 70 chain. I appreciate your advice on the chain size.

[@jakeschisler7525]

At work to pick up mining truck frames with overhead they used 7/8 inch chains on bigger ones. Once while throwing hook and chain over frame rails I dropped it on my foot naturally not on steel toed part. I didn't see any problem with Christie in bucket. I have picked up my wife several times way up in the air to do something. Safety third!!

[@TheProCut17]

[@truckinchihuahuaalvieschre2494]

[@chuckr8683]

As a child, I rode in the back of pickup trucks, used steel flying saucers to sled, had bb gun fights with my brothers, rode on tractor fenders, on top of hay bales on wagons, rode hay elevators into haylofts, and even used steel tipped lawn darts!! (HAHA) How did we all survive? Riding on the bucket looked perfectly OK to me. PS my dad in the 40's used to sled down the street he lived on and then underneath tractor trailers stopped at the cross street at a red light at the bottom of the hill. We won't even talk about what he did with kerosene on his bike tires!!

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Chuck, we survived by common sense and experience. Apparently those are both lacking in today’s world.

[@phill903]

Ken's work is not over he has to unload all that stuff in his trailer, probably by hand :-( But look at the bright side he didn't have to dig it up and load it. Johnny made quick and easy work of that job, make him kind of a hero Oh and I guess Tim helped johnny get the job done ;-)

Love the videos , thank you TTWT .. Can't wait to be able to get a new tractor , question ?? You did a lot of investigating , what do you think about the Massey 1700 series.. I was thinking about the 1720 , but I don't have a place close enough to my home to just take a ride over and check it out ..

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Got to try out the 1720 backhoe at the farm progress show. Search Massey backhoe challenge or something like that.

[@ArizVern]

It's called Back Dragging: The weakest maneuver that can be done with a bucket (Can bend hyd cylinder rams). I added universal quick attach to front loader. Also a Third function valve and light weight two tooth grapple bolt on, for bucket. Bought spare 5' quick attach bucket, I hardly use. The grapple rides around on bucket straight up in air, out of the way, when using bucket.

[@ArizVern]

Keep it Simple. Fingers use 3/8" and 1/2" mounting plate steel. Eight inch 1/2 bolts for mounting. Single cylinder, fast acting. Like bucket and grapple together, no changing between the two. Have a spare universal quick attach bucket, if needed. Another handy feature I use, Tip and Tilt 3 Point with Quick Attach.

[@richardf9137]

Nice job!

[@Drew6709]

Gives Ken a bigger reason to get his own Johnny. But maybe a 2025r.

[@curtwhite876]

Jonny did more in a couple hours than a couple men could have done in a day. And even though there is a fair amount of work involved in shoveling material into the bucket, the tractor with front end loader is still a significant force multiplier.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Yea, MUCH easier than by hand.

[@tylerschierholz7534]

Great video

[@Realdamage]

Can I suggest that you might have used the grapple instead of the bucket? You've been able to use it on some jobs as a substitute for the bucket and it would have picked up that group of roots without the counter weight that Christy provided. This is certainly a time where a bigger trailer of better planning would have made things easier.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

I don’t have a large enough trailer for every attachment

[@Realdamage]

@@TractorTimewithTim I was saying it would be a good time to have a larger trailer that you could have carried the grapple on. We have to live with what we have. I have a 16ft landscaping trailer and I'll be putting D-rings on it to help with tie downs. I've been using the rails, but that isn't the best choice. The Edge Tamers that you recommend have been working out well in the snow we've gotten here in Vermont. Take care, and God Bless.

[@waltermattson5566]

Getting the roots out was safe. You could have stopped at any time if something went wrong. Jonny did it all that day.

[@truckinchihuahuaalvieschre2494]

Tim I have to tell you you need a stationary thumb on that backhoe. I used mine to pull out concrete just like that back in August on 2 clothesline posts. I dug around them then activated the thumb and used it to pick up the entire thing and I had more concrete than that on the bottom of my clothesline posts. And no I did not put in the clothesline. I believe that clothesline was put in before I was even born. But I would have never got those post out of that hole without that thumb. And my John Deere really didn't have the power to pick up that much weight either. But it did drag them out of the hole. And my whole was also about four and a half foot deep. I have no idea why someone would dig a hole over 4 foot and then fill it full of concrete just to hold up a clothesline. And hurt my hydraulics not been fixed I would have never got them out.

[@dpd16790]

man i am gonna have to stop watcing your videos... i already bought a cat mini excavator because of the dirt ninja... now my mouth is watering for a little baby tractor like yours...I find it amazing how much work you can actually do with a little tractor like that.. all my life I have been around tractors in the 100-300+ hp class and never even considered a little tractor.
