Garden Tractor Excavating: Compost Spreading & Ball Diamond Work with Pull Type Grader Box Blade
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- Using a John Deere 755 Compact Utility Tractor with loader and JD 318 with pull type grader box, my Dad and I tackle a couple modest jobs on a snowy Saturday afternoon. This video showcases a custom built home made pull type grader box as well as a home-made 3 point hitch mounted weight bracket. Also in this video I address a problem I had while trying to load the little tractor onto a big trailer.
Leave me some feedback! Always trying to get better and I hope to make more videos.
Thanks for watching!
I am glad you decided not to push your luck and made the ramps better!
I totally didn’t see him doing two though.
Ha, the manure pile is stirring a memory. The last time I worked a pile before I got married, I was planting and enriching a tobacco field, just got all my gear on, gloved up, and started manually adding 1:4 to topsoil. Twenty seconds after I'm thoroughly covered, the then GF pre-wife status calls me and I remember answering full of disdain, "WHAAAAAT?!"
"My apartment got broke into."
"Don't go inside, I'll be right there."
I was working with a police department at the time, and let me tell you, we made one hell of an entrance to her building!
Brownie points for life.
Ha! That's a lifetime memory there!
I’ve got a 316 myself. Tough machines. Love the GT fleet!
They sure are! I was using the 316 again today actually. Thanks for saying hi and for watching the video.
COOL!
You're fixin' to be my top commenter! Thanks for going through all my older videos! 👍
@@digdrivediy No problem Neil your welcome
It looks like neglect never give up never surrender
Park gets neglected over the winter for sure!
Love this video! Anything that is behind the tractor to be pulled, Neil is your master operator! Great content!
You're the man Aaron! :)
@@digdrivediy You are the Man sir! You have set the bar high for others especially with grading driveways!
....definite thumbs up for you and what you and your family do.... (there were a couple of shots of your neighbor's house; two, maybe 3 bare trees, cold, dreary and very grey....as lonely and depressing a scene that Edward Gorey or Stephen king might conjure as a prelude to some fantastical crime.... very striking imagery) Hope the ball field turned out well!
Really appreciate that David. It certainly was a cold and dreary day. It was hard to imagine getting ready to play ball that day but the fields did turn out great. There are several other videos showing the ball diamonds if you ever get the urge. Thanks so much for the nice comment and for checking out the video.
No offense taken. We actually feel kinda sorry for you flat landers, up here in the hills. Absolutely love the pull behind scraper box. Saw a dirt pan once for garden tractors that would be handy. Would haul maybe a wheelbarrow load at a time.
dumbbell weights! 😀 One arm bicep curls?
probably would've burnt it off. Would've killed off a lot of the seed.
JD 316?
i have one that the steering got stiff after a lack of use, also, seems a bit smokey, any tips?
Yup, it is a 316 with a 25hp Robin/Subaru engine under the hood. The factory Onans were known to get a bit smokey over time. Once they got to 800-1000 hours it wasn't uncommon for them to smoke and use some oil (the loss of oil being the reason for the smoke). I have a 318 with original engine that smokes like crazy too. I don't have any good suggestions for the smoke as the Onan engine is very expensive to rebuild or even tune up. Most folks go with a different branded engine as a repower option. Small Engine Warehouse sells kits to replace the engine and includes everything you need. My philosophy is that if it still runs good, just keep oil in it and wear a shirt that you don't care smells like a racetrack! Thanks for watching!
@@digdrivediy lol racetrack smell for sure!
I just had to drive the 316 around to loosen it up, it just recently went up for sale on marketplace (wife’s idea) right now for 1250, any more work o out into it I’ll just tack on to it.
Hello, if there were a prize for pointlessly wasted working time, you would have taken first place here. Typically American
Well if there were prizes for pointless rude comments, you'd certainly be in the running!
Typically European :)
Great job keep up the great work love your videos thank you
yall need to tarp that diamond over the winters. it will kill off all the weed seeds.
That's not a bad idea. If that would work I'd look into it. I'm not sure how it will kill off the weeds though when they still don't die under snow or frozen conditions either. But, I'd be willing to give it a try. If it stayed tarped up until the point we needed it then it would certainly be dead under there. Thanks for making me think about that. I need to see what a tarp that is large enough would cost. Thanks for watching!
Cobalt drills work well and are hard wearing I use them a lot in my shop 👍
Great job smart keep it up doing Great
D.o.t safe
Glad to have final approval! 😂 Thanks for watching!
Nice job considering the conditions
My 318 does the same thing when starting. I have looked and replaced some items but still no luck. Have you ever found out the cause? Thanks
Ken, my tractor has a different engine than a stock 318 but when I have encountered this problem on an original Onan it has been solved by adding a starter Improvement kit. Have you tried one of those? If your machine is of a certain year and doesn't have the improvement kit it could be a huge help. I have installed several over the years and it provides more amperage to the starter with a relay. Give it a google search and you'll find it if you haven't already. Best of luck and thanks for watching!
@@digdrivediy It seems when I have a new battery or a recharged one it works better. I know the owner before me put a new starter on it. Yes it has the original Onan or as I call it Gonad engine. Looking to repower it in the future but it is still running good. I will check out the starter improvement kit. I really appreciate you getting back with me.
@@digdrivediy I put one of these kits on mine right after you had told me about it. Have not had a problem with it starting since. Thanks for the help.
@@kk-vk7uc That's awesome! Thanks for letting me know!
Working in the snow. I did my share of cold weather work on the Bering sea for the Coast Guard, 25 fun years.
Wow! I can't imagine. That would be a different kind of cold weather there I believe. Thanks for your service John!
Bering Sea? Puddle jumpers...I was 10th MTN. We are the best winter warriors. But you crazy fools can have that Bering Sea. Ummmmmmmm NOPE!!!! I love my Coasties!!!! BADASSES!!!
Great job love your videos thank you
Thanks Ed!
Trailers are never long enough or to long lol
Man, ain't that the truth! I need a bigger trailer to haul both tractors at once.
What do you do for a living? You have alot of cool stuff 😎
I am an agronomist with an independent crop consulting firm. Which means I work with farmers and tell them what their soil needs to help them grow better crops. I've been collecting "stuff" for a long time now. Some is cool and some is junky :) Thanks for watching!
I thought maybe all the tractors and stuff were for your work thats why i was asking
@@benhogan6987 Nah, just hobby and personal use. I like to do fix up tractors and do little side jobs here and there. Doing it part time lets me still enjoy it!
In other words, for the non farming types, my dude plants "nunya"
Nice! Actually nice to see someone else working! Lol like the weights idea too. All the best.
Really appreciate it. Those weights get much more use on the tractors than on the home gym!
