I have a TYM-built “knockoff” 55hp tractor with backhoe. Have dug a lot with that backhoe, and you are correct - it ain’t no mini-excavator. Slow to dig with, but a heck of a lot better than a shovel.
This was my dream, my wife and I were knocking on the door when she got terminal cancer, She died and I ended up broke. I'd give everything I own for some time with her being healthy 😢😢😢😢😢💔💔💔💔
Stay strong man. I’m so sorry for your loss. Just remember to continue to carry her memory with you through your heart and actions. Both of your dreams can still come true, now it’s up to you to make them come to fruition. I wish you peace and serenity during these trying times. Edit: I was diagnosed with terminal cancer 3 years ago and was told I only had 6 months to a year to live. I must admit if I had given up like I wanted to, I certainly wouldn’t be here today. Now my doctors are talking years to decades, rather then months. I did however have to go to Helsinki, in order to receive an experimental cryotherapy which froze small portions of one of my tumors in order to minimize damage to all the major organs it was attached to. There is always hope, just keep looking. (Bonus: there are no international medical debt collectors, not that the bills were outrageous or anything over there.)
I feel your pain brother my wife passed away. It will be five years this August and it seems like five minutes. Sometimes you wish that you hated each other so maybe you could get over it do yuh know what I’m sayin? our two beautiful kids will keep me goin🤘🏼 now 20 and 25❤️
Hey Josh! I am still amazed to the wide range of skills and knowledge that is required to run a farm. WOOF! Particularly, when you are building one from the ground up! You have made an astonishing amount of progress in a (relatively) short period of time. Keep plugging away at it... and victory will be yours.
I took an old flat shovel and cut the sides off to make almost a sharp shooter style shovel for digging out tracks. Cut the handle down on it to fit your needs/size, and it's the best tool I've had to clean tracks.
We use a short handled gardening hoe along with a crow bar for the dozer. I’m thinking a track-loader will be on the short list for future investment. So versatile with the variety of attachments.
I love to do loader work in my skid steer, but it’s a completely different story with my tractor. I tried so hard digging a drainage trench with my lx2610 and it gave me such a hard time (probably spent and hour or two to go 20 feet). I waited for my cousin to finish up with the skid steer and I finished the other 80 ft in less then 20 mins. I wish skid steers weren’t so destructive towards turf and soft ground, they’re such versatile machines, but they destroy turf even when driving as carefully as possible.
20:30- The only time I've seen one of your flags hung incorrectly. The flag hanging on the wall adjacent to your Toyota pickup needs to be flipped around so the blue field is in the upper left corner. Whether displayed with the stripes running horizontally or vertically, the blue field should always be in the upper left corner... 🙂
Is it possible it is correct and because cameras “flips” the image sometimes that it appears wrong? I forgot what it’s called. Obviously you have seen others correctly so it’s possible the camera isn’t either always or ever flipped but I figured I would mention
I would love to have a little tractor just like that 254 with a loader, but I just don't see the point in paying for a backhoe attachment when you can always rent something that will work infinitely better and faster.
Agree the BY60 backhoe is a very Lite duty one. I Traded-in to a TYM T25 tractor with the TB65 Backhoe (very similar in size) and that TB65 backhoe is a beast. It is extremely powerful for a compact tractor hoe. It easily can drag the tractor around with the legs down. Cheers have fun.
How do you find out when you're taking orders for beef to the public, I'd like to be one of your first customers. I live right over the mountains in East TN on NC border
hit up our patreon and you'll be the first to be notified when we have beef. patreon.com/stoneyridgefarmer that will ensure you get some! The beef won't be sold to just anyone
Josh it’s ben said that Rome wasn’t built in a day everything takes time for a reason rushing through things most of the time causes problems and a lot more money 💰 ❤😊
I think I'd put 2 or 3 old truck tires around that well pipe as a temporary boundary until you install a permanent structure around it. Too close to that vehicle door for my comfort... 🙂
Hey Josh, I know the video is a year old but quick question: are skid-steers really that jerky? No offense if its operator learning curve. I just noticed it was throwing you around. A lot of folks wouldn't be happy dropping that kind of money for a tool that would beat them up. 😅reminds me of the time i bought a 70mph go-kart. Four laps, went home and put it on ebay!
A skid loader is bouncy as heck! You'll find yourself beat up at the end of the day doing dirt work. That's the long and short of it. A tractor will beat you up too! At the end of an 8 hour day on a skid loader you'll feel like someone threw you out of the back of a pickup truck. You'll get smoother and better every time ya use it, but these machines have no shocks...no springs...just a suspension seat so be prepared to get beat up by it...anyone who does dirt worth with a skid loader will tell ya the same thing. Now...you will build up different muscles over time that will help ya not feel so beat up...but it takes time and experience. That's my take
I will take that TYM off your hands, currently doing the same rain gutter project by shovel. Wife doesn't think I need a mini tractor with a backhoe and now she is wondering why the trench digging is taking too long. And now my back is killing me.
go rent a mini ex my friend....or ask your wife to help you. When someone gets in the way of common sense...it'st time to educate them....put a shovel in her hand and see if she suggests it lol
I buried a skid steer yesterday behind the house. The ground was saturated because of all the rain we had last week. We were able to pull it out of the mud.
Hey Josh thank you for the video I enjoyed it and sorry to say Josh you're wrong though about the hammer because hammers are meant to use that beat the heck out of them too and I think you could have did water catchment this dick is big enough hole with that machine there and running into an IBC tote like Doug and Stacy have he said they're not that much I think he said eBay or Craigslist you could find their too sometimes and I don't think they have an underground one though
there's a little more to the story than that...one day I may share that story..btw this is my tractor and I gave it to my parents ...TYM just isn't sponsoring the content anymore
Hi Josh, I noticed you don’t say it’s a first generation farm any more on your Entro LOL you need to start having kids mate. Bring the next generation, through hahahaha

@@lordchaa1598 ty for the kind words and I'm very happy for you, I hope you have a great life, you sound like a wonderful person ❤️❤️❤️
Wish that all your dreams come true!!
I have been fighting it since 2015!! Not Giving Up is 80%of the battle!
Stay strong my brother

Man Josh your rolling along every video your getting it done. I enjoy watching your progress. Thanks from. Sc.
Use my t25 backhoe dug trench 300 foot 4 foot deep. Through rocky soul and some roots. Took about 20hours of work in 2 days .
shew....man..I'll tell ya when it comes to a little back hoe like this...money is better spent on renting a mini ex for a weekend
I wish I was there grading and moving all of that rock and dirt with the Skid Steer Loader.
I took an old flat shovel and cut the sides off to make almost a sharp shooter style shovel for digging out tracks. Cut the handle down on it to fit your needs/size, and it's the best tool I've had to clean tracks.
A good long crow bar would be a lot more beneficial on cleaning out the tracks. They even have a special tool built just for that task.
You could probably make one yes🤘🏼 if you have the resources👍🏼

Awesome sprocket shot
I like it looks really good and better than I could have done I don't have enough time on a skid steer but I wish I could have done it for you

Skid steers are machines made to be worked on roads and construction sites.
@@kdegraa , agreed and farms.
That’s a nice looking desk.
Have an awesome day whoooo
Awesome desk
With that new well so close to the shop are you going to need to put some type of bollards around it? I can see a truck or tractor running into it.
this is not a vehicle entrance...you'll understand more as the build continues

Hey Josh, when are you buying a mini excavator? That's one of the only toys you don't have yet. 🤠Whoo!
nieghbor has one....so I'll borrow it
Perhaps a pipe cage around the well head ?
I would love to have a little tractor just like that 254 with a loader, but I just don't see the point in paying for a backhoe attachment when you can always rent something that will work infinitely better and faster.

⚘This is so much fun! Thank you!
The little tractors with FEL and backhoe attachment are fine for yard or garden work. No so much for construction.
True but better than a shovel, pick and crowbar.
@@kdegraa Oh hell yes! 🤣
Is there an ETA (estimated time of arrival) of the transformer for the shop from your power company yet?
power is on in the shop my brotha
I would a turned the engine off before sticking my hands in the tracks. … you are braver than me. Lol

i think the bucket on the Gehl is about half the size it could handle.
Josh looking great, where is the miss? Have a great week
Great 👌
Hows about one of those mini garden pitchforks Josh?

I think I'd put 2 or 3 old truck tires around that well pipe as a temporary boundary until you install a permanent structure around it. Too close to that vehicle door for my comfort... 🙂
that's a butcher shop door...but it doesn't currently open so we're good. I've just gotta keep my eyes open when I'm around it

@@StoneyRidgeFarmer they earn that paycheck in more ways than one 🍻
Thanks!
You should have a get together with the guy who has one eye customs UA-camr. He has a tool that you can clean up the tracks on your track loader

send some rain my way!
👍
Please go buy some rebar and have those guys put it in the slab
why would I buy rebar...my concrete crew would provide the rebar my friend

And that’s why TYM took your equipment back

Get the johndeere out with the bigger backhoe out.
Hi Josh, I noticed you don’t say it’s a first generation farm any more on your Entro LOL you need to start having kids mate. Bring the next generation, through hahahaha
Give him time to get married n everything set up so hes not worrying so much
You need to start having kids cuz that 18-20 years raising them creeps up on you especially if you're starting in your late 30's early 40's as a guy
I'll have kids when the time is right my friend....I assure you the time is not right at the moment
16 minutes of filler to tell you that it's not as good as a mini-excavator in 15 seconds... good use of time
