Took my 1025R out on its first dirt job this past weekend! So exciting and can’t wait to take it back out and keep pushing the dirt. Love the channel, keep it coming and keep the hints and tips coming for us newer tractor operators.
That was a nice job you all did with the two tractors and equipment attached. I love using my equipment like that and still have some landscaping to take care of and is waiting until it gets colder where the ground will be easier to move.
You doing good but I can say I been working tractor for 56 years now . And you doing great for a little tractor cool job . I have a dozer a case 550 G and it is good for little jobs I buld little roads on farms now its makes my life keep going around my age. Godbless
Yes, I do like watching the small tractors and what they can accomplish. I am looking to buy some land in Tennessee and I'm going to build a timber frame home and work the property. So, now I'm considering what equipment I will need, tractor with loader, tiller, box blade, grapple, belly mower, and who knows what. 🙂
it's been a wet year for most of us in the region and all have had some drainage problems. I am going to have to reshape some areas to get it to drain better because I just couldn't get it mowed with water standing. Great video. Hi Christy. That is a beautiful barn.
Rex really was great with that box blade. I would have had to ask him for pointers on becoming better with one. Mentioning the size of the project and needing persistence to see it through, that's kind of what you have to think when you see a really huge project like digging a lake even with large equipment. It took us 3 years to build a 67 acre lake with 2 Cat D8's (1 pulling a 14 yd scraper) and 2 smaller FiatAllis dozers the first two years, and hired in a crew the last year with another 2 Cat D8's (one pusher and one pulling a 21 yard scraper), and 2 paddle wheel scrapers. It was a huge project and even though the equipment was so large the 3/4 of a mile worth of digging took a lot of time to move that much dirt. It kind of reminds me of how big an ant pile can be even though the ants are so small.
Someone once asked me why I use to do everything with a small little mower instead of a bigger machine. And after really thinking about it it became clear that I enjoyed the challenge of making something work. Yes I could have got something bigger. But the fun was making something do the job that probably shouldn’t
Tim, You, Christy and Rex make a great team. I watch a lot of videos using various tractors and the John Deers seem to be the cats pajamas. Another great video.
💥 That was fun to watch, perfect sized tractor to use for that job. Nice to have the right tools and the trailer to transport. Rex is amazing with that box blade! Keep on tractoring!
Another great video Tim, I thoroughly enjoyed this one. I've said it many times on GTT, if I had any idea how versatile my box blade would be it would've been the first implement I bought. With practice you can accomplish so many things it, keep these videos coming.
Nice job. It funny how you use tractors to make that swell. I worked for an excavator for years and I would have used a skid steer for a project that that. Your right how different people do things differently to achieve the same results. Thanks for sharing your videos with us. Also I like the scripture verses at the end of the videos.
It’s just amazing the work a 1025R is capable of and as I’ve been looking into compact tractors I’ve yet to see one that I like feature wise over the green brand.
I enjoy watching your videos. I'm kind of house bound due to a stroke I had. But, i really enjoy it when you use the 1025r. The tractor really is a Swiss army knife. Personally, I think you could've done this job with just Johnny, maybe a little longer time in doing so. Look back to that big tiller job that you did. It'd be nice to see more sponsored attachments for Johnny. Great videos! 🤔🤔🤔🤔
I have been extremely happy with my TopCon rotary laser level. The slope feature ensures the french drains I install are always set correctly. I just finished up installing 300’ at my parents place. If I could only get a grade rod in 8ths instead of 10th it might make more sense to all that help me. I agree with being Leary about mounting the magnetic base and receiver in the box blade. It’s too expensive to risk damaging it or running it over if it fell off.
I did something to that effect on a driveway that has water runoff from county road to the front door of the house. I used my boxscraper with tilt to dig a small swale to the field below the house. As far as I know the water has greatly stopped going to the front door. Tilting boxscraper and backing up will dig quickly. Slow and constant use of lift lever to attempt to keep a grade.
Love your videos. My equipment is Home use only. Because of Casy I now own a Mini Kubota Excavator, not a Back Hoe. In my home office a complete (Topcon RL-H4C Laser, 360 receiver with blue tooth and cab display blue tooth). Topcon equipment all magnetic mount. Laser can move from Tractor to Excavator easy.
I made a comment in another video on the quick connect hanging down on the 2028r ( Jonny 2) It does not lock up into place like the 1025? I know the deck uses a different method of lifting then the 1025. I would catch that the first time out with it.
How well did this work when you got the first heavy rain? You need to take photos of your finished projects a couple months down the road. I know that would take a bunch of your time but still, it would be interesting. Love your videos and enjoy watching you learn new tools and techniques. God Bless and keep the wheel side down.
Tim does it work to lower your bucket down to within 6 or 10 inches of the back to utilize 4 in 1 bucket like a box scraper earthmover? The bottom blade would load the bucket up when it was cutting the let the dirt out when it wasn't cutting? Just my thoughts.
How do you like the learning curve on the 4-way bucket? Was you friend using the front cutting edge flat on the ground while he dragged the box blade or set at a specific depth?...... Very nice job.
Tim, you know there is a valve, usually in front of the seat, where you can adjust how fast the three point hitch sinks. You can set it so your implements don't drop but instead decent smoothly.
Tim, you could have tilted the right lift arm on Johnny2 to get a gentle swale. Might use outer rippers at highest engaged position. Rex sure looks to be at home using the boxscraper. If you needed to go deeper, tilt right arm and go backwards to dig a deeper swale IF ABSOLUTELY NEEDED. Be careful with top link (if hydraulic) being extended too far. Could have used rear blade for this as well.
You can fiddle with adjustments like that forever. We needed to move lots of soil. Best way to do that is the keep moving it...a box full at a time. Don’t sweat the details....just getter done. We had no need for fancy tilt functions for this project.
Tim don't worry about the box dropping so fast, you can control the speed of the 3-pt and slow it down so it wont be so jarring when it hits the ground
Bulldozers use them on their blades. When I had 103 semi dump trailers (sand trucks) drop them in my back yard, the Dozer used a laser to set his blade level. That was some work. He allowed two or three trucks to dump and he would level and pack and extend. We had to level out 120' of backyard for a metal building. Then came the 93 cement trucks. Wow. I cut a nice curving creek bed for my beloved and have a little to go. Wish I had a box ! Used tiller and front end loader.
This is where I would like a blade when I turn it to the side using the top plank I can get an angle to it and usually grade the higher areas off or use it to cut a trench But I definitely think a hydraulic top link would really help you out and make you more efficient
Hey Tim from our experience the tiller needs to be tilted forward a little to make level or were it is more forward, this will allow it to dig, u may have to go slower though
Good video Tim. Can I ask which brand transit you use? I have been wanting to buy one my self but am not familiar enough with them to decide which brand to buy. Y'all stay safe out there.
I couldn't help but notice that when the Sun was shining bright the canopy on Johnny did very little to keep the hot Sun off the operator. Comparing the ROPS height between the two tractors it appears like the canopy would be much more effective on Johnny-2 with its lower ROPS as compared with the sky-high ROPS on Johnny. Maybe it would be different if Johnny was working closer to the equator. :-)
Hello Tim. I hope you and your family are well. I like all the finished product you come out with on all your projects, very admirable definitely. However, I can't help but think that so many of your projects could be accomplished much easier with a nice little finish dozer and laser. However I understand the dozer has limited other uses. I prefer a track loader , say a cat 939 or Deere 450c track loader any day compared to a Dozer which I am horrible on. Continued success and praise Jesus Christ our Lord and savior.
Thank you guys for showing what those smaller tractors can do. I just love your channel.
Good job. Rex really knows how to operate the tractor and he's a hard worker.
IF IT'S ONE THING I LOVE, IT'S A GOOD LONG DRAINAGE SWALE PROJECT, GOOD JOB GUY'S

Attention to detail is key!!! Great job!
Thoroughly impressed with your use of the 4 in 1 as a dozer blade!!
Seems you have that well sorted!
You doing good but I can say I been working tractor for 56 years now . And you doing great for a little tractor cool job .
I have a dozer a case 550 G and it is good for little jobs I buld little roads on farms now its makes my life keep going around my age. Godbless

2 johnnys in 1 project... that always puts a big smile on my face.:D
Really cool to watch the swale take shape
We love when you use the smaller tractors!
...thanks! We use the smaller ones most of the time.
Great teamwork !!!!!
Great job Tim! You can get a lot of work done with two tractors!
Looks like Tim is getting used to that fancy bucket now,! Good job. !
You're gonna hit 100k subscribers by the end of the year.

Hi Tim and Christy great job Rex was a really big help he can sure use that box blade as they say Tim 2 heads are better than one

Good video it's nice to have help. Looks great. I do that stuff all day long i drive a road grader grading gravel roads.
Lucky u
Keep up the good work Tim
Great video Tim and Christy! Nice work

Looks like a good team to me. Great job.
Tractor time with Tim today has two tag teaming tractors transporting and transforming terrain together...terrrrrific!
Tim Christi Rex liked how you explain what's going on us novices need all the help we can get
God Bless All
Pazk
Grear job guys, I always carry marking paint and mark the high spots when we are setting grade like that.....
Good job Tim look really good

Yes, Johnny could have done this project alone. But would have taken 2 days.
Job well done Tim and your friend and Chrissy 😁🇺🇸👍🏻🐝
Looks like the hire help needs a sun shade like the boss got! hahaNice job on the dirt movement.
Looks darn good
Cooler weather here in Nebraska for couple days. It should get to you soon 😲
Another good video Tim love your channel
Great video. I love when u get to go out on me and my dads 2 family John Deere and go do dirt work with the box blade
Maybe an inverted spray paint wand and some orange spray paint might be of help marking the cuts and fills? Good job guys. Nice results.

TRACTOR TIM ,
ANGLE BOX BLADE WILL DIG DITCH REAL NICE LY TOO

Wonder if the 2038 would handle 6' or 7' boxscraper?

Great video tim keep up good work how’s the 🌽
Tim, when loading machines on the trailer. Dump the loader buckets over if you need a few more inches of room.
What are the tires he was running with?
Hi Tim. Are you going to get a rear mount snow blower for your John Deere 5075E?
No.
Tufline, made in Columbus MS. KIng Cutter, has a plant in Guin, Alabama and maybe other locations.
I dunno how 35 people dislike this video. I think this is in your top 5
Thanks Will!
Does the 2038 have more hydrostat pump whine in reality, or is it just at a magic frequency the camera setup or my phone likes to accentuate?
Hard to say. You always hear more whine when pulling hard. The tiller doesn’t pull hard, but box blade full does pull hard
DID GOOD JOB
Tim don't worry about the box dropping so fast, you can control the speed of the 3-pt and slow it down so it wont be so jarring when it hits the ground
why did you place the swale in the middle vs. placing it closer to the fence line?
Was naturally the lowest place already.
Great video. Do you think 1025R and the 2038R are geared near the same, in that, travel speeds are about the same pulling attachments?
No. 2038r will go faster in each range.
Hydraulic top and tilt makes the box blade an even more powerful tool.
Would the power rake on Vinny been of any help cutting
the swale
Yes. Would have been great. Would have used just like the tiller.
Bulldozers use them on their blades. When I had 103 semi dump trailers (sand trucks) drop them in my back yard, the Dozer used a laser to set his blade level. That was some work.

I cut a nice curving creek bed for my beloved and have a little to go. Wish I had a box ! Used tiller and front end loader.
Would you think Casey’s blade would be quicker?
Is the 2038 running in e throttle?
Yes.
This is where I would like a blade when I turn it to the side using the top plank I can get an angle to it and usually grade the higher areas off or use it to cut a trench But I definitely think a hydraulic top link would really help you out and make you more efficient
you guys need a Johny 9
Hey Tim from our experience the tiller needs to be tilted forward a little to make level or were it is more forward, this will allow it to dig, u may have to go slower though
Cant you adjust the rate of drop on the 3pt. I adjust my lift arms for sloping
Good video Tim. Can I ask which brand transit you use? I have been wanting to buy one my self but am not familiar enough with them to decide which brand to buy. Y'all stay safe out there.
Look at our amazon store. Amazon.com/shop/tractortimewithtim
Tractor Time with Tim Thanks
What kind of boots do you to Warner
Check our amazon store. There is a link to our boots there.
TTWT, Rex & Company. What do you think Tim?
Tim and Christy are posting cat videos on the internet now. 😁
I couldn't help but notice that when the Sun was shining bright the canopy on Johnny did very little to keep the hot Sun off the operator. Comparing the ROPS height between the two tractors it appears like the canopy would be much more effective on Johnny-2 with its lower ROPS as compared with the sky-high ROPS on Johnny.

Or closer to lunch time!
@@TractorTimewithTim you wouldn't be on Johnny at lunchtime anyway Tim. You will be eating your cheeseburger
It appears that running the tiller behind Lil Jon when pushing with the bucket helps push the tractor forward.
Where’s the drone footage?
Rex is replacing Katriel! How is she doing?
Enjoying D.C. thx for asking!
Did Rex operate heavy equipment? He looks right at home.
Possibly a follow-up. Plenty of rain coming.
Poor Katriel - replaced at such a young age LOL :)
Rex talks like we do in South East Kentucky lol... Google doesn't understand us.

Tip: Use field cultivator to loosen soil in high spots. Than move and level dirt in low spots.
Might want to adjust the hydraulics so that box blade doesn't drop so fast/hard. The swale looks good.
A land plane would have sped up the finish grade tremendously and have a flatter, more even grade. Still looks good though.
2nd one and great vid! 😂
1st one and what a great vlog 👍🏾
I need tractor work done.
We can do...at least in Indiana.
I live in Flat, Missouri. I been watching all of your videos for years now and I love them.
In the video, Christy seemed to be limping as she was walking ... Is she ok?
Foot surgery 1.5 yrs ago. Still hasn’t recovered.
@@TractorTimewithTim ... Ya just gotta quit workin that girl so hard, Tim
12:11. The truth comes out again. Lol. Naw kidding ya. I enjoy whatever tool you use. 👍
