Tumblebug

building up the driveway with a Tumblebug behind the Red Menace.

Those old timers were quite ingenious. Thanks for the tutorial LC.

We had one on my dad's farm when I was a teenager. It was old when we got it. We polled it behind a farmall 560 diesel with a turbo and later with our jd 4010. Let me tell ya...we could move some serious dirt fast. There was no stopping. We put that 4010 in 5th gear and drug sand bills back across a 40 acre field to wet spots. Much much faster than a loader tractor. Just a simple machine that got a lot of work done and was fun to use

[@banjowoodsman7675]

Very cool and simplistic piece of equipment. Thanks for sharing.

[@prime9584]

Your videos are an inspiration sir. Thank you and please never stop for no one but yourself. Much love and respect from Michigan.

[@georgiaboy4410]

Looks like the cross between a scoop and a roll over box scrape. Neat old piece of machinery.

[@leardi58]

Boy that diesel just as smooth as can be

[@Unwrapasmile]

Always enjoy watching your videos are always so informative thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. My uncle had one of these when I was a boy. Have not seen one in years, don’t know whatever happen to his.

[@paladin4570]

Very interesting. I’ve never seen a unit like that before.

[@samfinn8397]

Quite a deal ... enjoyed watching it do it's thing.

[@Mr402TA]

I remember a neighbor had one of those when I was about 4 years old. Always thought it was cool, but never knew what they were called. Pretty cool.

[@66blacksunshine]

Thanks. I bought land that has old stuff on it, seen this out there knew it was some kind of scraper but didn't know how to use it, now I do. Great vid showing how it works, thanks again for making it.

[@markchatman9583]

Necessity is the mother of all invention. Some poor farmer couldn’t afford a loader but he had a drum and a welder. And bob’s your uncle it’s a tumblebug

[@HilltownCT]

Simpler tools for simpler times. Great vid Mr. Looms.

[@yoshaki]

Cool machine, thanks for the lesson.

[@TheDistur]

That's a pretty nice machine. Never seen anything quite like it. I think I need to find one.

[@craigmeyers8793]

Love ya brother. Airborne55 here. Me my black and tan and a beautiful lame Arabian. 1.9 acres but I don't owe anybody.

[@ArkansasPrepper]

I really enjoy your videos. Thanks!

[@mudslinger1m]

Pretty neat unit!

[@larryalexander4833]

that's real nice piece of equipment way better than a regular dirt scoop

[@rockymtndieselrider1133]

Great video. That is some soft ground!!

[@logcabinlooms]

Pretty much just fine blow sand, go a bit deeper and you get into clay.

[@TrippiePesos]

Great video as always 🤟🏼😈

[@e3672222]

Holy moley that’s awesome!

[@sneak6654]

Great video and thanks for sharing.

[@rustynails.8550]

That's awesome, sure beats using flat head shovel and wheelbarrow.

[@anguskangus8222]

That's a really nice attachment !

[@BacktotheBasics101]

I need one of them, thank you so much for taking the time to make this video.

[@joes.1168]

Thanks for your time nice video.

[@leowamback6486]

Awesome love the videos good stuff very entertaining

[@thehunter717]

A handy little rig

[@VicsYard]

Really cool!!!!!

[@craigmeyers8793]

I love it! Tumble bug?

[@stoneblue1795]

+1, liked it

[@philthy8150]

Never seen one thanks!

[@paddyrat69]

Your property must have been a lake bottom, back in ancient times.

[@logcabinlooms]

A Delta that ran into a large glacial lake that extended far up into Canada. I went into it in a video series I did way back called The History of My World. Ten parts, but the geography and how the land formed is covered in the first couple parts.

[@Bare36]

I have recognized that sound and back end. Its a Belarus mtz 50

[@logcabinlooms]

520

[@bluetoad2001]

ingenious device .

[@NachoBuster390]

Where did you get the reflector for your Winchester 1907? Ibwould like one because i want to reload my brass and not search other counties for it lol

[@logcabinlooms]

I made my own, I always figured someone should make up something to fit because they are notoriously wild with ejection. My is out of leather, but it could rather easily be made out of Kydex if somebody decided to make up a run of them.

[@NachoBuster390]

logcabinlooms i know a guy who is realy in to leather working so we could figure it out

[@zbudda]

Since you left your town motor grading job, I'm guessing you can't bring the grader home anymore?

[@logcabinlooms]

I do have my own that goes on the 3 point on the tractor that works fine for my needs, but for moving dirt any distance a scraper is needed, and this little Tumblebug is the ticket.

[@samehrhart]

Do you ever find any arrowheads up there were you live ?

[@logcabinlooms]

I never have, but I believe years ago my uncle found some by one of the springs.

[@samehrhart]

logcabinlooms I live down in Missouri along the Arkansas line in the ozarks we find them here and there I’ve found 20 or so and my brother has found probably 100 or more over the years they are stone here but out West I figure they where using metal mostly what do you think?

[@robertmintz63]

You could have turned off the tractor for talking before the demo

[@jasonzee4561]

You want to grade your driveway forget that thing buy a land plane.

[@justchillinout2002]

Care to explain WHY?

[@jasonzee4561]

@@justchillinout2002 because you have a blade that cut out pot holes a give the driveway a smooth look. And it use the gravel that was packed down.

[@justchillinout2002]

@@jasonzee4561 Thanks for the reply Jason. Not arguing, but just trying to understand better, and I am looking at buying something for grading work. But it looks like the Tumblebug is cutting and redistributing the dirt where you want it. Doesn't the land plane just randomly redistribute dirt as it goes, not putting it necessarily where you may need it? Thanks again.
