Mission Impossible? Too Much for Johnny??

[@DanielTorres-hu1zq]

Just what I need, more pressure to clean out the garage! Great to see Christy helping you bring order out of chaos. Great use of equipment too (except for manual movement of pallet, but you acknowledged that). In response to one person's comment, I always appreciate your recommendations on particular products so please continue to share your experience. We can decide to accept or not.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Thanks! We do not intend to be ‘one big commercial...but if we don’t mention where we got some of this stuff, we get lots of questions asking “where did you get that...?”

[@rdl3255]

Great video !!! Probably one of my favorite of how you use the equipment, manpower, and troubleshooting and make it all come together. It’s so important to help and serve in our neighborhoods.

[@CapeAnnImages]

You got me stumped on this video. I had an old apple tree stump in my yard and criss crossed cut the top then chipped it out below ground level then filled the depression in. Over the years a sink hole developed and I was always filling it in as the rest of the stump slowly rotted. It turned out to be a 20 year or so project. Glad to see you grinding the stumps as deep as you can. That Ventrac is a great machine!

[@richpicone7788]

LOVE IT!! Great video! I will say this..... I did enjoy seeing a beginner on the tractor, and at the same time , Tim... you are a better man than me. I would have been nervous from the minute Jimmy had those awkward loads to let anyone else use your tractor. ....More and more, I’d love to be able to do what you guys are doing. What a way to spend your time. Keep it up and keep the videos coming!

[@TheVze23sqf]

Lots of fun working with the old neighbors. I had 4 stumps ground on my lot this spring and the person had a dedicated grinder using a 6 cylinder diesel. Man that thing threw chips for 30’. Definitely didn’t stand in front. Great video. 👍👍👍

[@bobbypool923]

I think it's great you are willing to teach someone and give them the opportunity to learn. I know by experience it is easier to do it yourself. But a blessing to share knowledge with others.

[@rl4795]

Yes, I enjoyed seeing others operating the tractors. Very Capable 1025r. I am currently deciding between the 1025r and the 2038r. (with most implements.) For 2 acre farm/garden ..and general home/woods management. The thumb and the grapple I've seen on your 1025r is AMAZING. Makes my choice very hard now. I always thought bigger is better... but, that 1025r is very capable !!! THANK so much for your videos. God Bless you both.

[@gmass7238]

I think it's great , him sharing his Johnny with the neighbor, that let's other people learn and experience operating tractor ...enjoyed the video and thanks for sharing ...

[@waltermattson5566]

Good job Johnny. It is good to show beginners running the tractors after a few minutes of instructions. It will give others confidence to know they can learn too. Everyone needs a tractor.

[@brucep9123]

Tim, I have a number of neighbors and friends which are interested in tractors, but are afraid of operating such a powerful machine. I am very glad to see newbees trying out the equipment around the experts!

[@timothycoleman8916]

The quickness your friend pick-upped and went shows that Deere is easy to operate. I have an older 245 lawn tractor and don't have the pedal controls. I just bought the 1023E (just 54 mower deck) and was wondering about the foot pedal -forward and reverse. After closely watching him as soon as he started, I loved his backing up, then quickly moving to next point. This is great considering most tractors require you to look down before you shift forward - thus slower. My Deere is not home yet, they said up to 3 weeks before delivery. So I sit and study everything about this tractor and the1025R too. Soon I hope, even if the manager calls like the LandPro FB Message replied back to my gripe on this issue...I offered to come work the shop to expedite my tractor set up, and help others. They said the manager would call me.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

The longest days ever! Waiting on your new tractor! Be patient. Once you get the machine, you will forget this!

[@scottgasbarro1350]

I love the beginner level videos!!! I’ve learned a ton from your channel!!!! Keep up the great videos!!!

[@BigbearSM-IL]

New operators are great! Shows everyone with a little patience and practice, they too can do the same work whether on their own tractor or with a rental. Great idea Kristy with cutting that stub off.

[@lacking2010]

Just had the chance to try my new Artillian grapples, set up just like yours. I now have about 10 hours experience moving brush piles, logs, and other debris. This is an excellent tool and wished that I had them many years ago. I manage a 60 acre tree farm in SW Washington, so lots of need. It is mounted on a JD 2025R. I also purchased the tooth bar for my bucket - another very good tool. In any event, I learned about them thru this channel. Thanks for the good work.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Congratulations! I’m glad to hear that it is working well for you!

[@TallTexasGMan]

I think is great you are willing to let other people operate your equipment. It shows how you are really working for the Lord and having fun in the process.

[@RKHarm24]

Always enjoy the share and show your equipment. Like I have over the years with firearms. Share the knowledge and let someone enjoy a new experience.

[@MrNosajwhitey]

Even though he probably has more confidence than average person cause of his background it's still good to see someone new to tractor work doing well shows that John deer have a simple intuitive operating system

[@ritterjon]

Another incidence where the Artillian grapple shows just how well it’s built. The stump grinder is great. Good thing you had Christy along for some well needed management advice! Keep on tractoring and God bless.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Exactly, Jon! The grapple is nearly unbreakable! And Christy’s simple idea would have made rolling that log across the yard trivial.

[@micksn70]

hey guys, i think it's a fantastic idea to give a demo for people who are wondering how to operate the equipment and give little education whether it be wanting to buy a tractor or just wanting some experience can be a great way to help people learn the about the equipments uses and the versatility 👍

[@skidaddler6293]

I like watching a beginner and seeing mistakes. I learn more. Good videos. Thanks.

[@nealtubbs9608]

You guys had a really busy day. Looks like everyone was pleased with the outcome. I liked seeing Jimmy and Corey operating the tractor. They did a good job most likely because of your instructions. I would have kept most of what Jimmy brought to be mulched. There were quite a few straight logs that would have made excellent firewood.

[@jasone9]

John Deere should be paying ttwt massive amounts of money for showing what these compact tractors are capable of doing. I am continually impressed with what you accomplish with Johnny, the heavy hitch, and the grapple. I sure hope Jimmy and his uncle dont get hurt working through that "pile" of logs Jimmy stacked. Looking forward to hearing more about the new gooseneck we keep seeing glimpses of.

[@danimal1611]

Do enjoy watching your videos and how you share allowing others to experience the equipment.

[@coffeebert6644]

Just pulling your chain a little bit Tim but the only thing I could think about when you were rolling the large part of the trunk was “ I’m not a smart man but I would move the trailer over to the stump instead of the stump to the trailer”

[@botabob]

Wow - this video had a lot to enjoy - new operators, stump removal - and pizza. And it’s lunch time for me - have a great day folks

[@zr1sparky1]

Another great Bible verse! And yes, it's helpful to see a neophyte pick up on the use of the grapple. It appeared to be intuitive!

[@TWood66]

Thanks for your video. New 1025r owner and first tractor. Very helpful.

[@deannechaves3690]

I actually went to the John Deere dealership today. I am in the market for a 1025R. I test drove one and it seemed fairly easy to operate. I have never owned a tractor and I am looking forward to owning this one.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

You’ll love it!

[@Dale37]

I saw two Ventracs on a trailer in town last week. That was the first time I have ever seen one. They are definitely interesting pieces of equipment.

[@joeysmiley5449]

I have a 1025r and I have to tell you that there is no way my tractor would have been able to pick up what yours has been doing. It has been back to the John Deere store twice and they keep telling me it is fine. I use my pallet forks for picking up logs and they weigh less than the grapple weighs. Glad you have one that works correctly.

[@ronmack1767]

Enjoyed the video Tim & Christy. Grinding stumps looks like it would take allot of concentration and patience. Was that wood maple. That's a pretty heavy wood. Like the pics I sent y'all of my 1025R they will surprise you how much they will pick up. At least Johnny was able to push the big stump around and get it loaded. Y'all take care and God bless.

[@silverhaze_2121]

Yeah, it's good to let beginners try it out and to learn, but it is definitely more satisfying watching the job get done in a timely and efficient manner.

[@texaspecanderosa]

I like the diversity that you all provide in your videos -- always interesting and informative!

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Thanks for watching, Michael!

[@stanleybroadhead8978]

Excellent job. Your lovely bride had a great suggestion there. Y'all stay safe.

[@colonialroofingofnorthcaro441]

I tell ya Tim, your getting really got at using your equipment and learning to feel your way which is one of the most important ways to use equipment to iys greatest abilities, you can make equipment do things it wasn't really rated to do just buy feel and learning the strengths and weaknesses of the piece of equipment your using and it shows so bravo brother, you remind me of me a little, you like me like things to be done your way but your doing great to keep it under control, , me I still have to work on that lol, God bless guys, keep pushing

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Thanks! Yes, you nailed it. The machine wasn't intended to move that big stump. However, nothing I did in this episode was harmful to the machine. It is hard to 'teach' this. A set of "Do this, don't do that" rules will not suffice. It takes patience, practice, and persistence to make these little tractors productive.

[@timkd5vmv583]

Great video as usual. It was good to see Jimmy and the old neighborhood. I really need to investigate the availability of the grapple for my Mahindra. They seem to be so versatile.

[@Hfoutdoorsyt]

I use the one on my Mahindra all the time. They are great. 👍

[@TractorTimewithTim]

The artillian grapple will fit any ssqa.

[@timkd5vmv583]

Unfortunately I currently have a pin on bucket.

[@PastorDavidFranklin]

Always impressed with you guys. Johnny handled his business. Great! Keep up the great work!

[@darkwinter6028]

Well, Louisiana Tractors & Projects (er, I think that’s his channel’s new name... used to be Louisiana Aquaponics) moved one that looked about that big with his GC1710... and I’ve moved a few really big logs (and wet... so heavy) with my GC1723EB... so, yeah, I’m not that surprised that your JD got the job done. 😎 🚜

[@johnstone1086]

Great job on trying to be safe and great job to the military guy and thank him for his service and God blessings

[@Diantane22]

Well the only tractor experience I had before was on a JD GX345. Getting the 1025r was definitely a step up. But after knocking down a tree, digging up four stumps and digging a 165 foot long trench for a French drain in the first 12 hours, I'm picking up the knowledge fast.

[@johnpyle8027]

I understand balance and load and used to work in the masonry business where I operated numerous variations of fork lifts, lulls and teleporters. We're talking about 5000 lbs sometimes 3 stories high. Saturday I bought a new Woods 5' tiller and used my new TYM 264 to lift it out of the truck. The TYM 264 is rated for 20 lbs more than your tractor and is physically bigger. I looked at 1025s I really didn't think about ballast with 600 lbs. The truck and tractor were 90 degrees to each other. My sister backed under the loader and I lifted the tiller easily and she pulled out, very stable UNTIL I lowered it. One rear tire came off the ground a little once the load was down and in FRONT of the tractor. I had a pallet to lay it on and kept it slow without stopping. Really increased my pucker factor! I'm not sure how much ballast you had, but you were lifting WAY more the 600 lbs with a little smaller and lighter tractor. I had a long conversation with my sister about safety, it really scared her to the point she didn't think she wanted to run it anymore after falling in love with it! I'm filling the rear tires on the tractor this week asap!

[@TractorTimewithTim]

No need to fear. You quickly get the feel of it…recognizing when you are nearing the limits. The only advice is to THINK!

[@bwtupper]

Hi Tim and Christy . . . I like to watch all skill levels run your equipment. Really enjoy the videos! I would like to see more videos of Johnny 2 and Casey.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Stay tuned. We’ll continue to feature them.

[@OO-by2jl]

A friend and I loaded a huge stump 2 weeks ago with just a winch. Last Monday I went and bought a 1025R . 2 weeks it will be here!

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Congratulations! 1025r won’t lift everything, but it certainly helps!

[@Hfoutdoorsyt]

Great video Tim. That was a huge stump. Good job with it👍

[@mr.redneck2715]

I always have the tree guy cut the butt logs less than two feet so I can pic them up!

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Come and get them!

[@Redneck_Ed]

I enjoyed that video. Definitely impressive to see that tractor move those logs around. It was a bit painful though watching the guy hunched over the splitter. That type of repetitive motion is murder on the back.

[@jerrynibarger9148]

Would a back-up camera work better than the mirror on vinny? They are about $35 for the camera and the monitor. Thanks for the videos. I love watching how well johnny handles itself. Would the vac on johnny suck up the wood chips? Maybe you can see how well your eating at the stumps with vinny better?

[@ajjackson741]

Thank you for another Great video. I do like when you offer the noobies (will include myself in this category) to operate the equipment to demonstrate the learning curve

[@ilmo2313]

Vinny and Johnny made it back to the neighborhood for a visit. Tim and Christy, I bet you can go back several times to the old neighborhood in a year's time for visits and get some work done.

[@FromSteelToWood]

Double thumbs up to take time to stop the engine to warn Jimmy to move further away, for safety's sake. We all enjoy happy endings! Thanks!

[@lodprice2343]

Yes, it would be good to see some beginners on the tractor/equipment. There was a lot of activity going on in the video. TTWT is the best!

[@patmason7276]

That little Deer did as good as the 5100 kubota we have. Big stump . Tell the neighbors they can help out on the cost of the stump grinder.😳

[@peterkober6758]

Tim Christi these videos are so great peoe working together something we don't see often God Bless PaK

[@FishFind3000]

20:30 anyone know what species of tree that is. I had one just like that removed and I never could figure out what it was.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

This was wild cherry

[@billyhighfill]

Great use of counterweight. When I get a tractor someday, I'll be sure to use it!!!!!!

[@billyhighfill]

Also. I did enjoy seeing beginner work. Just keep the ratio of pro to noob like you are.

[@danielsharon524]

Definitely good to see a newbie on there.

[@JasonEsquivel]

Love the scripture at closing.

[@pauloverton3093]

It might be time to invest in pro chainsaw just to have for when you do work like this. Maybe a husqvarna 372, big enough for almost anything but not to big to do small work too. It’s a good market to pick one up now because husqvarna just came out with the 572 (newer version) so you can get them for a real good deal (600-700) new! If you had a saw in that class you could have taken 5 min and cut the whole stump right in half! Keep up the good work!

[@earlsmithson4749]

I’ll tell you what Tim, you could open up a tractor operators school. Good Job.

[@rickysafer2895]

Good job on moving the big stump.

[@carm29231]

What a great episode! I really enjoyed seeing Johnny handle that huge stump! Congrats on hitting 78k subscribers! Your number 1 fan from nj! Carmine

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Thanks for the kind words, Carmine!

[@alh9338]

Boy I'd gladly do that for a neighbor and take the wood of their hands. Going to have to look for mulch plants. Great idea for things that won't go through the splitter. But man at the least, if only firewood, few grand! Neat stump grinder to rent. 🍻

[@bigjim5723]

show all the newbies on ur tractors u want. i'll watch-ok. ha! like others said i see ur new trailer--WOW-OH-WOW. is about all i can say. lol. can't wait for that video.

[@MetaView7]

I still can't get over how 23.9 hp can do so much so quickly.

[@Mrbink01]

Why not bring the trailer to the stump?

[@MienTayTiVi]

because they want to show strength

[@jerryhayden8720]

🤣🤭👍

[@wesleyfarrar1856]

awesome skills moving that large stump

[@rickm3217]

Neighbors working together, what fun!

[@jamesdiehl8690]

I love watching you two all the time! We're all family through GOD. I think I'd rather have a camera pointing down at the grinder instead of that mirror and a screen I could watch in front of me.

[@foudo13]

That Ventrac keeps surprising me although i do think there are faster stump grinding solutions for smaller tractors out there . In Belgium i've only seen the Ventrac 3000 series , i don't even think they sell 4000 series overhere ...

[@rickdavid1795]

I enjoyed seeing an amateur on that 1025 It’s a little work horse. I want one

[@shadowpotatoe9482]

It's so funny, we compare companies and models but that engine sounds almost the same as the one in my gr2110 and gr2120 andd the same as my buddies small bobcat excavator, probably closest to that tbh. I wish I knew how many of these competitors use the same engines haha. Also that tractor is very much a solid machine, i hope your greasing that loader good!

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Man....johnny is a little work horse!

[@jasonpanzer5097]

Awesome job Tim and the team looks fun too

[@elektrikman8834]

im impressed again what work this little tractor can do mine is coming this afternoon

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Congratulations!

[@bassbuggy101]

I enjoy seeing the first timers running equipment! Let me know if you ever need a first timer to try out vinny!

[@bartonmd]

Ha! I just saw Jimmy Saturday evening at our 20y HS class reunion!

[@davidshipulski4532]

When I first saw this I said to myself where is Johnny 2! It seemed like you almost had it but not! I just bought a 1974 JD 140 H3 with the hydraulics! It is a really solid tractor! Good video!

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Hard to know which machine to take. We know that viewers have a preference for Johnny, and we knew that the tighter turning radius would be nice. We didn’t know that the large stump was there.

[@howesithauling3858]

Love your videos love all your guys's equipment keep up the good work God bless

[@joeyshofner639]

Turning good potential lumber into mulch is painful to watch. Love watching the rest thou, keep them coming.

[@Drew6709]

Would be nice to see useable lumber from such large cuts of trunk.

[@johncampbell1853]

Lots of good saw logs there

[@genelewis4074]

I would have asked that the tree service cut the stumps closer to the ground and the large stump stems be cut into more manageable sizes. The wood in those stems is curly and dense, but when you cut them down to fit your stove, they make a lot of good BTU's. I find it to be worth the effort and it uses more of the tree.

[@patrickburgmeier7902]

Tim may I suggest that you put 2 longer small diameter lengthwise and then stack the rest crosswise.. That way most logs are out of the dirt for cutting with the chainsaw. The big log you could have RIP cut with a chainsaw into more manageable chunks also I think. You are pretty handy tho Tim

[@brucealvarez9263]

Yay Christy!! Tell Jimmy that the big "unmanageable" stuff is quite manageable! Cut them to 16" then split in half with the chainsaw or a maul and wedges. So sad that he wasted so much potential heat!!! I am surprised the tree felling crew didn't cut that huge chunk down to about 4 pieces and block to 16". They might have if he asked. If Jimmy is going to build a 3rd garage, I think he needs to get a Johnny to put in it. I hate to say it but Jimmy makes me nervous. At 19:15 is he really cutting a piece balanced on another and was his uncle really holding the end ot the piece being cut?

[@superdairyboy]

hey Tim, your grapple. are each side independently controlled? and if so do you have a video showing this? I saw the install video of the grapple, just did not see how it was controlled.

[@TractorTimewithTim]

They are not individually controlled...and do not need to be.

[@RockhillfarmYT]

That was a lot of stump for that little tractor

[@MrJames_1]

Nice mission. Well done. 🚜

[@patrickmchugh4894]

Lol I like watching a rookie at. I dont feel as bad. When I was on the farm our bucket only had a trip on it so the bucket would swing in the air till u put it on the ground to latch it back in place. Lol and sometimes it didn't latch. So when I got mine it was a while to get use to, but love it now. It has saved my butt from getting stuck

[@kevinbuszinski2220]

we got a glimps of the new trailer at the end, must have a hydraulic tail

[@jeffreycurrie3410]

What jimmy lacks in talent makes up double in personality, I think I would have left the big trunk, for a table in the yard. Too much drama, poor jimmy was just too close. I know it’s really fun being apart of this kind of stuff. I think I couldn’t have succeeded with this much help. Great job.

[@KirtH27]

You working with that big stump reminds me of my 5 month lab playing with a big stick

[@shanesherwood343]

Tim thanks for all the Grapple videos they really helped convince my finance committee that it was worth the money

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Amazing attachment!

[@everetthutchinson6413]

It's January 2021 and yes, I'd really like to see a novice operate stuff. That describes me. I'm about to buy a used compact orange one or a used green one.

It's always great to break bread with friends and neighbors...pizza definitely counts.

[@randywhelan8944]

SPEACHLESS , NO WORDS , GREAT VIDEO THOUGH

[@meanjoegreen4925]

nice video how many windows have you knocked out with the stumper? I have had great luck ok maybe the wrong word ---had a company come out did one of my stumps and shot my window out in my van which was like 40 ft. away. I thought you had a guard for it but It looked like it was a mirror to see what you a doing nice o have also t.c. stay safe b/c life is short

[@zarbond21]

LOL Tim, @ 19:35 I Thought You Were Going To Say, "Christie Moving A Log..."

[@patrickwheatley6156]

Looks like your old home is being kept up nicely

[@ranger6x660]

Tim I'm new to tractors ? and if you want to leave Johnny for say the remainder of the Summer I promise to make a difference in my yard when you come back this Fall to pick Johnny up! lol

[@TractorTimewithTim]

Ha!

[@KirtH27]

I am sure you have a video on it? Where did you get the grill gaurd?

[@TractorTimewithTim]

This is standard grill guard from Deere. Comes with loader.

[@black300c69]

Very impressive I love what you do

[@wendellkulp95]

another great video.. glad to see kristie was able have fun also.

[@robertjuanvargas]

Yes is good idea teach people to used of your equipment😜😇😉
