The JD 110 tlb was an awesome machine. Ran one for a guy for a little bit. They should have never stopped making those. Best part was the joystick u could use to drive forward or reverse when using the backhoe. Every tractor should have that.
Tim, I too wasn’t initially sold on my box blade, but once I figured out how to use it, I do a lot with it. A hydraulic top link would make it a lot easier. If you tip the top toward the tractor you will engage the inner cutting edge and dig, if you tip it away it will ride on the rear edge for spreading and leveling. Don’t just level the box and expect it to do both. You can do this with the regular top link, but it involves a lot of on and off of the tractor. This is what I have learned from using mine. Great video as usual!
Top link adjustable on the move makes the box blade so much better. Johnny 2 may not have the hydraulic remotes. Maybe in the future Deere will make them standard on the R compact tractors.
I found that if I am dragging dirt to fill in hole/ trench using the lower top link hole on the tractor side cause the box blade roll as it lift. This release the dirt faster.
Love seeing family work together and enjoying it at the same time. Y’all made a lot of progress in only 18 min of work. Just imagine what you could do in 4 hours. LOL
Great job well done 👍🏼 awesome Tim use your box blade to do all that grading work you will be a pro when your done ! I was so bad with mine when I started this year back in February now I use all the time just start with it level with both blades even from the ground then it’s easy you’ll get it quick . Thank you for the videos much love to all !!!
Tim forgot to tell ya on that really uneven piles you were driving over, set your boxblade about an inch off the ground with your 3point control with both front and rear blades even on box blade very important! Back into the piles first as this will knock highs and lows off and fill in where needed then you will get your grade started. Then you can drive forward over that path compacting it as ya go you will figure out but push in with box blade first then ya can drive forward over it to dump will be much better . I had to learn the hard way lol
I love the mechanical parallel linkage on that loader. All loader should have that. Some of the tractors my dad had back in the 50s, 60s and 70s also had that parallel leakage.
I know she missing NC, lol, we North Carolinians live our state, its perfectly positioned in the state with great mountains and ocean, the outer banks and lots of history, even black beard lived here so plenty of history from the revaluation war, the 4th if July and the colonies that started toward the birth of America, itsgreat, I like your wife even more knowing she comes from here God bless,
Tim's videos have been invaluable for me. Looking to buy my first tractor for some real work around the place. 12 somewhat hilly acres here in Floyd, Virginia. Been trying to decide between the 1025r and a 2 series. Think I'm settled on the 1025r with bucket, backhoe, and mower. Going to see what the dealer can do on a grapple, too. I can see all sorts of stuff around the property I can use one of those thing for.
You may have figured this out already Tim, the teeth on the leveling box will break up the dirt you are trying to move. With this long project you have ahead of you, set the teeth as far down as they can go until you get close to the level area. Then use only the box with no teeth as you are on here to finish the job. Looking good so far. Keep up the great videos. Loving the radial tires. Seem to be working well. Probably doesn't tear up the yard too bad yet has some bite also. I have found it easier at the end of the job to push the box blade instead of pulling it. As you pull it, the tractor will move with hills, bumps, and dips which will cause the box to tilt and angle oddly. If you push it, it levels it before the wheels of the tractor goes over it which being leveled is a much smoother area as there are no longer bumps, dips, and hills. Just some thoughts. These may be helpful tips in learning to use the box blade. It really is a good tool to have.
Your off to a good start with the dirt. If it ever stops raining, as the larger clay clumps dry up, just running them over with the tractor tires will break it up to where you can fine tune it with the box blade. One of the easiest clean ups and regrading I did with a box blade was early winter. No snow but cold. Ran the dirt clumps over to break them up then graded everything.
Corn and soybeans today, but when I grew up here in Indiana, we had a four crop rotation; corn, soybeans, wheat and hay (clover/timothy) and raised cattle, hogs, sheep for a time, chickens and turkeys. We were subsistence farmers, I suppose. 73 acres, 55 tillable. I truly miss that old farm.
Bobby is a hoot. I think he really needs that tractor. Tim you can't get much better than 2 Green tractors unless you got Johnny 1 out there too, it would be like having your own private parade.
Glad Christy's parents came to visit. I'm sure Bobby was quite happy to be out working with the tractor instead of sitting around the house, a man's gotta keep busy. Your pond, like mine, has no water source other than rain. I'll be interested to see if/what you do to deal with the stagnation and algae.
@@TractorTimewithTim I can understand that. My GUESS is that they originally dug it to give excess rain a place to go rather than flooding the entire yard. You just happened to get a humdinger of a storm that was way more than the pond could handle.
I like your videos my wife and I own two properties here in the middle Tennessee area.I have driven brand's of tractor's in the past.I'm not going for the color of the tractor's because I like emm all.I'm going for a dealer that has good customer service.I have learned a lot from your videos.and pray that my wife and I can purchase a sub compact tractor.
I’d love to see every machine running!!! If you got vinny mowing and Johnny mowing then doing work on the pond with the rest equipment... it would be soooo cooool
But to answer your question both are excellent choices but it depends on the situation and ground. Once the turf tires cake up they loose traction but the knobby tires does better if you don’t mind wrecking stuff which men are supposed to do.
Hey up here in Nova Scotia same weather, cool and rainy. Pool weather it’s not :-( Farmers are having a hard time planting their corn and beans up here too due to wet fields. Some fields just won’t get planted this year. Getting too late.
I think you would be much happier with the box blade if you had a hydraulic top link. Helps greatly to adjust the box blade on the fly. To switch from "cutting" to "smoothing" with it on the fly.
I am growing corn for the first time this year on my land. I am only growing about 30 corn plants. I live in In Indiana, but just planted some corn for the first time. My land is only around a half acre, so i am limited to what i can grow. I just use a small hand tiller for tilling. Most of my garden is in pots. Keeping my garden raised up off the ground. Corn gets a bit tall, so i planted it away from the rest of my garden out on its own. I knew it would need planted in the ground, so i gave it it's own space.
Looking at your tires at work. Thinking of my mowing (series 1) with tractor tires not lawn or mix. If in 4 wheel due to wet and mud - like to skim along due to water leaking out of the hill as well as rain. On once in a blue moon I'll dig the leading corners of my brush hog into dirt and it dives. The lugs dig in and the correct response is to raise the mower instantly, but one can't respond. 4 tires dig holes. Looking at yours, I think you would tread water and would continue once the mower is raised. Ever experienced this ? I bet those new tires are nice. Martin
My favorite thing about "my" Johnny 5 is I can take both grandkids for a ride at the same time. I did order a right side door kit yesterday. Can't stand having to go around to the left side to get in every time.....
I have been looking at the 5075e (without cab) for our small acreage. We have 20 acres - ~15 of it is heavy woods and brush. The other 5 is basically where we spend our time the last 2 years doing what we can. We cut firewood and have a massive amount of dirt work to be done repairing the grounds around the house and pond from water erosion, repairing septic drainage system, maintaining roads and cutting trails, ripping out the in-ground pool in a few years, removing invasive brush everywhere, and landscaping the entire back yard and around the house. I need a backhoe attachment, grapple, box blade, bucket loader, rock rake, tiller, brush hog, post hole digger to do the work. Every time I look I see I more projects to do when I get a workhorse. I want the tiller to put in a food plot in the far back of the woods that has about 3 acres, and also need to work up the 5 acre yard to level and re-seed with grass after removing several dozen tree stumps.. Originally I was looking at the 5050e and believe it would be adequate but think the 5075e is probably going to handle the heavy work load better moving rock, dirt with the loader, and operating the backhoe. I cannot wait to get my tractor this fall. Nice to see the 5075 at work.
I’m using the 3025E on our 20 acres that is similar to what you describe-it’s a workhorse and has exceeded my expectations for tilling, brushogging, moving dirt, plowing and post hole digging. The 5 series would be awesome I’m sure, especially with the added hydraulic capacity.
Do give the box scraper some time. It is way more versatile than I ever imagined, and it by adjusting the top link and the side to side angle of the three point hitch, it can do things you cannot do with the FEL.
I may need you to come give me some lessons. I'm trying to be open minded. However, I LOVE using the loader. It is SO quick to do what I need to do with the loader.
@@TractorTimewithTim It would be my pleasure to work with you again... maybe on the tractor this time. I totally agree on the loader, it is an easy implement to use with a little practice, and I prefer finishing things by back-dragging with the loader bucket floating. That being said, the box scraper is a better tool for maintaining a gravel lane or establishing a trail. It is especially useful for cutting a trail across a sloping grade.
I know the content may be more the point, than the progress, but a small dozer would really clean things up around there quick! Most equipment dealers have a rental fleet, and a 450 size dozer can be had for 3-600 a day.
watching this video again after a couple a years since the production, i was wondering if you ever have considered getting a long reach excavator to dig out the rest of the pond since casey could reach long enough out?? Besides that i was wondering if you have fix the flood of the front yard with the extra dirt ?????
I currently have a Gravely ZT mower and a Branson 4520C tractor. Looking at getting rid of both of those for a 2038R to mow with and loader work. Hate to have a tractor sitting in the shed 75% of the time but need a loader for snow/hauling trees and brush.
So i noticed how much mud you got in the tires. Do you have a video that shows your prep and cleanup process? For instance, I assume you take a pressure washer to those tires after doing something like this? Do you do any system checks or maintenance before you put your tractors to bed for the night and/or before you begin the job?
Hey Jeff! Great to hear from you. Good questions. We do not clean the tires. They clean out fairly quickly. I should probably be more systematic about daily checks, but I do not do much. I occasionally check the engine oil level, and hydraulic oil level. But the engines don’t use oil like the older tractors might.
Tim, I have a Johnny 3 series. I too do my grading with the front end loader. Any differences you see in grading with the box blade and the front end loader/ Likes or Dislikes?
Hi Tim Good video,could you do a video of your daily chores you know when you get up and what do you do and when do you it,i think that would be neat video to see what you do on a regular basis,and how often do you get on the tractors or jobs you do,ok later Tim.
With that big 520m on front of the 5075 need to think about swapping the front tires around for a more wider safer Stability. It’s recommended in owners Manual as well👍🏻
Yes it is ‘required’ in the loader manual. I don’t understand why the front tires are so narrow. Ag tires would be a lot more popular if they would configure the wider ones like they do in Europe.
ORFS fittings I’m guessing? They tend not to handle any side torque. You may want to keep a few extra “O” rings boss seals handy to replace them if you tighten repeatedly.
Hi Tim, I've watched all of your videos and have been eternally frustrated by you trying to use your loader like a skidder and continue to overlook the most versatile implement a tractor can have, the box scraper. Glad you finally have one! I use mine for everything. Once you learn to use it I'm sure you will love it. (and BTW, we want to see more Katril! What is she up to?)
@@TractorTimewithTim I have used a 72 inch box blade with a borrowed Case 430. Using in dirt (dirt was dry} to than pile up with old Terramite with 60 inch bucket to than move with a bump trailer to a new driveway for our 5th wheel camper. Hydraulic top link does help change from ripping soil to scraper to move it. Size does make a difference when moving dirt is the project.
I know it’s hard to get to read all these comments but I would read be interested to see if you looked at graders instead of box blades. I am referring to what looks like a box blade but instead of a 3 point hitch it uses a clevis or hitch ball and has 2 wheels behind it that are hydraulic lift operated. They look like they would level a lot better than a box blade.
Where at in North Carolina is Bobby living? I’m from there originally, just wondering if it’s the same neck of the woods. I now live in southeast Georgia right outside Ft Stewart. And I’m looking at getting me a Deere 3039. Y’all stay blessed.
Welcome to our channel, John. We discuss this in many of our videos. Also, there is a detailed write up on our tractors at our website tractortimewithtim.com We have several sponsors. There is no way we could afford all of this equipment.
Check out the deere group. I just posted a picture of my curl cylinders with bent rods from Back dragging with my Johnny 4. It will make u never want to back drag like that again. Lol you’ll be a box blade fan real fast 🤣 but seriously though box blades are worth their weight in gold. The most common attachment but so valuable and useful!
Teflon tape only works on pipe fittings.....jic and oring fittings and such any of those tapes or pasts wont help nothing as they dont even seal in the threads to begin with. They seal inside the fitting sealing the threads it would still leak were the fitting turns.
@@ynotshowme2ur3times What is needed is gray teflon tape. It contains nickel, anti-seizing, anti-galling and anti-corrosion. Tightened properly they will never back out and there are many uses in the aerospace/defense industry that I was in Quality Control, including ESS (Environmental Stress Screening) for 36 years. You don't want loose fittings at 36,000 feet!
Im not getting into the birds and the bees farm fight on ttwt. But in all the farm jobs ive been put to work on and now in the woods with heavier equipment......and many different brands to boot from green to red and orange .to yellow equipment.......and also from having to go through 5 women till i found the one that works.......you can use all the lube or glue you want but if it dont like sticky nor slipery it just dont work. Jic and many newer fittings are often misunderstood.........and also underestimated. They have the added joint angles and or orings for a reason. I didnt mean to try and complicate things by saying so. Just you can use any color sealant you want........jic does what jic wants. Its made to be dry and get it done. The fitting often may come loose in use.. ..only thing you can do is tighten or change it out. Sorry if i ofended you ive never been to colledge. Ive have to basicly lern everything on the fly. One thing i learned around 9yo was how to swap out pipe fitting with the newer jic mainly cause downtime and tools took time and money let alone carrying pipe tape or paste to go bad in the toolbox between dust and dirt and wood debris ext depending on job. Why need 2 wrenches and an additive if you can have a supirior fitting that is machined to mash together in its core and prevent leaks? In my 36 years of being given jobs and acomplishing them and they keep me around i might not be a rocket person but unfortunatly the new school stuff ends up prevailing in the long run. Some things only take weeks some years......like this new emmisions junk. Its enevitable well have to deal with it eventualy
@@ynotshowme2ur3times I can't argue with experience. In my career I find some of the most educated lack common sense. You wouldn't believe the many times I've corrected high tech engineers with simple solutions. Tim mentioned his fittings were coming loose and I simply suggested the use of the correct teflon tape that has worked in vibration conditions that I was involved in.
He Tim I am Spencer from Bruton Tractors this is my personal account and around home we grow Tobacco, corn, soybeans, wheat, sweet potatoes, and some peanuts
Tim, you will find that leveling dirt with a box blade really works if the tractor has draft available on the three point. Years ago I had a Ford 420 Industrial TL that had a cat 2 thee point with draft. Two to four pulls across the dirt piles and flat as a pancake.
John 5 is a great looking Tractor. What I'd give for 36 acres of flat farmland instead of hills and hollars. Box blades are great, but I'm with you I tend to use the loader a little better.

Top link adjustable on the move makes the box blade so much better. Johnny 2 may not have the hydraulic remotes. Maybe in the future Deere will make them standard on the R compact tractors.
yes, the "tilt and trim" hydraulics are great to use with rear attachments. I especially like how easy it makes it to attach to rear implements.
Johnny 2 has two rear scv’s. So, I only need the top and tilt cylinders
I found that if I am dragging dirt to fill in hole/ trench using the lower top link hole on the tractor side cause the box blade roll as it lift. This release the dirt faster.

No, tiller would not have helped with this stage. We’ll work on final grading of this new soil later.
Great video
Another great video. 👍
That’s one hell of a weight set on the 3 point, we have the weights on the rims on our 5075
The manual says 3000 lbs necessary on the 3 pt. I believe it! Even with 2000lbs on the back, it can get ‘light’!
watching this video again after a couple a years since the production, i was wondering if you ever have considered getting a long reach excavator to dig out the rest of the pond since casey could reach long enough out?? Besides that i was wondering if you have fix the flood of the front yard with the extra dirt ?????
Love the video's Tim. Currently about to pull the trigger on a 2038R in the very near future. How do you like it for mowing?
I like it. Of course, it is not as optimal as a zero turn.
I like it because it sits high enough to stay out of the cut grass and dust while mowing
I currently have a Gravely ZT mower and a Branson 4520C tractor. Looking at getting rid of both of those for a 2038R to mow with and loader work. Hate to have a tractor sitting in the shed 75% of the time but need a loader for snow/hauling trees and brush.
So i noticed how much mud you got in the tires. Do you have a video that shows your prep and cleanup process? For instance, I assume you take a pressure washer to those tires after doing something like this? Do you do any system checks or maintenance before you put your tractors to bed for the night and/or before you begin the job?
Hey Jeff! Great to hear from you.
Good questions.
We do not clean the tires. They clean out fairly quickly.
I should probably be more systematic about daily checks, but I do not do much. I occasionally check the engine oil level, and hydraulic oil level. But the engines don’t use oil like the older tractors might.
Tim, I have a Johnny 3 series. I too do my grading with the front end loader. Any differences you see in grading with the box blade and the front end loader/ Likes or Dislikes?
You can tell there's no quit in that man! I bet he has some stories he could tell.
Tim you have to get a hydraulic top link! I just picked one up for my 2038 an its a game changer!
Great video!
Hi Tim Good video,could you do a video of your daily chores you know when you get up and what do you do and when do you it,i think that would be neat video to see what you do on a regular basis,and how often do you get on the tractors or jobs you do,ok later Tim.
Interesting point Lonnie. We’ll try to do some more of that.
With that big 520m on front of the 5075 need to think about swapping the front tires around for a more wider safer Stability.
It’s recommended in owners Manual as well👍🏻
Yes it is ‘required’ in the loader manual.
I don’t understand why the front tires are so narrow.
Ag tires would be a lot more popular if they would configure the wider ones like they do in Europe.
ORFS fittings I’m guessing? They tend not to handle any side torque. You may want to keep a few extra “O” rings boss seals handy to replace them if you tighten repeatedly.
Hi Tim, I've watched all of your videos and have been eternally frustrated by you trying to use your loader like a skidder and continue to overlook the most versatile implement a tractor can have, the box scraper. Glad you finally have one! I use mine for everything. Once you learn to use it I'm sure you will love it. (and BTW, we want to see more Katril! What is she up to?)
She is in DC for the summer.
Doesn’t spend much time around here anymore. Oh well! She has her own life to live!
Oh, and I’m still not convinced on the box blade :-) we’ll see!
@@TractorTimewithTim I have used a 72 inch box blade with a borrowed Case 430. Using in dirt (dirt was dry} to than pile up with old Terramite with 60 inch bucket to than move with a bump trailer to a new driveway for our 5th wheel camper.
Hydraulic top link does help change from ripping soil to scraper to move it.
Size does make a difference when moving dirt is the project.
I don't worry too much about the rain unless a big boat goes by carrying a lot of animals!
Would you consider the front tyres on the 5075e too narrow, especially with the extra weight of the front loader?
Yes.
I know it’s hard to get to read all these comments but I would read be interested to see if you looked at graders instead of box blades. I am referring to what looks like a box blade but instead of a 3 point hitch it uses a clevis or hitch ball and has 2 wheels behind it that are hydraulic lift operated. They look like they would level a lot better than a box blade.
Yes. I tried to get one of those in 8’ version for Johnny 5. No luck so far.
Well I have a 2018 2038R too so if you could find a 6’ one that would be great! LOL
It’s almost seeing that you need two Johnny’s one with radial turf tires then one set with more aggressive. But if you don’t mind swapping tires out
Great video you should invest in a small Fleming tipping trailer
So if you had to choose 1 tractor for all your needs now. Which one???
Where at in North Carolina is Bobby living? I’m from there originally, just wondering if it’s the same neck of the woods. I now live in southeast Georgia right outside Ft Stewart. And I’m looking at getting me a Deere 3039. Y’all stay blessed.

Tractor Time with Tim that’s awesome I grew up in Camden county. So I know where he’s at. Been there a few times.
You need a camera mounted on the hood pointed at the loader. Johnny 5 sits up so much higher and has a longer cowl than 1, 2 and 3.
i use blue locktite when tighten up fittings so they dont loosen up
Tim wait ontil dry , like the video .
Question. Do they own all the pieces of equipment or are they renting it, leaseing it. Please let me know. I have wondered that for a long while
Welcome to our channel, John.
We discuss this in many of our videos.
Also, there is a detailed write up on our tractors at our website tractortimewithtim.com
We have several sponsors. There is no way we could afford all of this equipment.
Check out the deere group. I just posted a picture of my curl cylinders with bent rods from Back dragging with my Johnny 4. It will make u never want to back drag like that again. Lol you’ll be a box blade fan real fast 🤣 but seriously though box blades are worth their weight in gold. The most common attachment but so valuable and useful!
I saw your pictures. You must have been putting more pressure on than typical. Right?
You should get like a 2/3 ton dump trailer for Johnny 3, it would cut down the amount of damage to the lawn, and time in driving
Time to upgrade to a 8R with a loader
All of our hydraulics get teflon tape or thread sealer... no more loose or leaking fittings
at the 14:35 mark, the loader frame moves a lot more than I would have wanted to see.
Hydro leaks....Are you using teflon tape on the fitting threads?
Teflon tape only works on pipe fittings.....jic and oring fittings and such any of those tapes or pasts wont help nothing as they dont even seal in the threads to begin with. They seal inside the fitting sealing the threads it would still leak were the fitting turns.
Those should be jic fittings, no tape.
@@ynotshowme2ur3times What is needed is gray teflon tape. It contains nickel, anti-seizing, anti-galling and anti-corrosion. Tightened properly they will never back out and there are many uses in the aerospace/defense industry that I was in Quality Control, including ESS (Environmental Stress Screening) for 36 years. You don't want loose fittings at 36,000 feet!
Im not getting into the birds and the bees farm fight on ttwt. But in all the farm jobs ive been put to work on and now in the woods with heavier equipment......and many different brands to boot from green to red and orange .to yellow equipment.......and also from having to go through 5 women till i found the one that works.......you can use all the lube or glue you want but if it dont like sticky nor slipery it just dont work. Jic and many newer fittings are often misunderstood.........and also underestimated. They have the added joint angles and or orings for a reason. I didnt mean to try and complicate things by saying so. Just you can use any color sealant you want........jic does what jic wants. Its made to be dry and get it done. The fitting often may come loose in use.. ..only thing you can do is tighten or change it out.
Sorry if i ofended you ive never been to colledge. Ive have to basicly lern everything on the fly. One thing i learned around 9yo was how to swap out pipe fitting with the newer jic mainly cause downtime and tools took time and money let alone carrying pipe tape or paste to go bad in the toolbox between dust and dirt and wood debris ext depending on job. Why need 2 wrenches and an additive if you can have a supirior fitting that is machined to mash together in its core and prevent leaks? In my 36 years of being given jobs and acomplishing them and they keep me around i might not be a rocket person but unfortunatly the new school stuff ends up prevailing in the long run. Some things only take weeks some years......like this new emmisions junk. Its enevitable well have to deal with it eventualy
@@ynotshowme2ur3times I can't argue with experience. In my career I find some of the most educated lack common sense. You wouldn't believe the many times I've corrected high tech engineers with simple solutions. Tim mentioned his fittings were coming loose and I simply suggested the use of the correct teflon tape that has worked in vibration conditions that I was involved in.
He Tim I am Spencer from Bruton Tractors this is my personal account and around home we grow Tobacco, corn, soybeans, wheat, sweet potatoes, and some peanuts
we have that small tractor too the 5055e we use it for mowing
Woukd you consider a smaller end sdlg endloader
do you feel like the self leveling loader limits the range of the loader in any way?
No, not at all. Would love to have one on Johnny!!
Did you share your cheese burgers with Bobby? lol
you need to do a get together with Outdoors With The Morgans.
Btw love your videos
Tim, you will find that leveling dirt with a box blade really works if the tractor has draft available on the three point. Years ago I had a Ford 420 Industrial TL that had a cat 2 thee point with draft. Two to four pulls across the dirt piles and flat as a pancake.
Tim where did you buy the radial tires you have on Johnny 2
They are factory option
Family is best
think ya need to ask letsdig18 for some help with your pond
Hes a gun on ponds.
Is that a skid steer style bucket on the 5075?
Yes
@@TractorTimewithTim any reason as to that over global? Or just more potential flexibility?
I'm from North Carolina and it's hot down here
Hot here too...NOW! Total change from 2 weeks ago.
@@TractorTimewithTim I'm guessing after it rains it gets hotter
John 5 is a great looking Tractor. What I'd give for 36 acres of flat farmland instead of hills and hollars. Box blades are great, but I'm with you I tend to use the loader a little better.
