Looking good! The tiller attachment worked well on the pond bank.
Impressive job . Dave has been a great help. Keep them coming.
Slowly, with so much work...it just looks better and better. What a piece of art to get to look at every day. Very cool.
We have it full now. Looks even better.
I love the color you made the pond
We like it too!
Yeah I’m gunna have to cry foul on the DDWD. Definitely a pretty kooky stocking approach.
Dropping or throwing the fish in is the correct way. When they are introduced with speed it forces them to swim getting oxygenated water over their gills increasing their survival rate. Cooler water means more oxygen and less stress on the fish. I have 30 years experience stocking fresh water fish and work as a Deputy Waterways Conservation Officer in PA.
I would of never thought of that when putting fish in a pond
That’s what they taught me at Hocking College too.
It just gets better and better. Gotta love the DDWD…and Christy’s follow-up😉 Blessings.
Need to do something similar to my pond. I have steep drop banks that are currently destroyed by muskrats. I think a tapered bank with a layer of riprap would help discourage this while making the edge safer to mow around.
I am concerned about maintaining a riprap bank.
@@TractorTimewithTim I’m sure there is some type of aquatic approved herbicide that would help if that’s an issue. I’ve seen a few retention ponds with rip rap that are free from vegetation. They must be using something, I doubt they would pay the labor for manual removal.
@@Retroranger77 we’re gonna see if we can get grass to work for us.
Looks great Tim, Christy and Dave.
I'm loving the pond series. Can't wait to see it in six months.
Sweet! Almost forgot its Tractor Timmy Wednesday Time! Good thing you got lots of articulating mower types cuz I sure would hate weep whipping that shore line by hand. Luv the new one liner: It doesn't have a chair installed so not interested in doing it. :)
Worked out great.Pond it looking really nice.
Pond looks amazingly nice good Job!
Can't wait to see some critters to go into that water.
With your ingenuity, I’m certain you could make a frame to hold 3 or 4 garden rakes and mount it to the excavator. Dave would appreciate it!
@@johnhelbig7110 our campground in Texas has done exactly that to pretty up the graver camp sites. Except they still must be run by hand.
Tim, great idea with the tiller and excavator and great job operating. I bet it wasn’t easy to navigate around the pond and keep the tiller at the proper angle and depth. Dave is a good worker and a nice addition to your channel. He shares some of Christy’s burden of keeping you on the straight and narrow. LOL
Thanks. Correct, it wasn't easy, but I enjoyed the challenge. Christy included some of the video of me struggling to get it lined up occasionally. Overall, we thought it went VERY well.
Down here in Southern Indiana we have a lot of limestone quarries that will sell huge blocks (old ones not good for carving / cutting) on the cheap. Tons of people build a limestone islands in the middle of their pond. Would look real good in yours.
My pond isn't big enough. If I tried to build up to the surface in the middle, I would lose several feet of depth.
You may have used the old seed horn and bag. It may have produced and easy way to seed the watergrass at the shoreline.
So Tim, First- I really enjoy your channel…great job, keep it up. I, too, live in Indiana, and I’m consistently doing a lot of the same things you are working on g on, from clearing land, to building a pond. Most of which are with a JD 4700.
Second! I may have missed this somewhere, but….WHO is Dave? Family? Friend? Employee? And where did Dave Caine from? How did you all get “hooked up”, etc?
I went through a lot of this in a video, but I can't find it now. Sorry...it was embedded in one of the repair videos we did during winter/spring. Overall, I recommend you going back and catching up with some of those videos. They are very interesting, and tell you a lot about Dave.
Anyway, I first met Dave in Honduras. Later, we videoed his wedding...a few shots of it in one of our videos. We mowed with the TS10 on a 4052R. He is Kenton's grandson in law. Felipe (in Honduras) son-in-law.
Carnac the Magnificent “I see river rock in your future.” J K…. Looking good!
I hope not. Check out this evening's rush video on the 1025R recall. Note how much better it looks now that we have it full.
Looking good yall.
Just think how nice a floating dock about 12 x 12 with a walkway to the center of "Lake Wobegon" would be.
I like the stone slopes they put around ponds
They look pretty...but don't seem easy to maintain in my opinion. Remember, I plan to add another 2' of water to this.
I would think a little loose soil running towards the waterline might help in seeding the grass seed close to waterline.
Remember...the water line will increase significantly. We will add about 2' of water after this video. So, we ARE seeding in loose dirt 'below the water line' :-)
Great video!
Good job!
Skeet shoot packets for better dispersion....genius. I'm going to patent seed-impregnated clay pigeons for hunters to overseed their food plots.
You need a tilt rotor on your excavator - it gives any attachment 360 degrees movement/rotation - that would take the pressure off your boom. Pond is looking great - looking forward to the grass growing in and the fish going in. I agree that you should definitely wait until autumn/winter before you put the fish in. Even with your two air stones, the oxygen holding capacity of warm water is much lower than cold water, and the fish will be stressed from transit - giving them cold water (and thus more oxygen) will assist in reducing that stress and mortalities.
Great job! The pond looks amazing but I am not surprised! Tractor Tim is a fenaisi
…like $40k, right?
@@TractorTimewithTimas if you can’t afford it. You have an excavator, super duty, and how many tractors and attachments?… *crickets*😂
It's easy to spend other people's money, right?! What's $40k. 🤑
@@Zanderthelabthere are limits!
Also, to be clear, most of the attachments are provided by the manufacturer. I did buy the mini ex.
Where will the duck blind be installed?
Pond and bank is looking great.
Slope cut prep is hard. Tilt heads are an expensive option on excavators. You always need more seed...
👍👍
Trying to figure out why you didn't put the tiller down closer to the water? It looked like the tiller was just about the same size (width) as what needed to be tilled. Maybe would have saved a lot of hand work? IDK
...I thought it was clear. We will finish filling the pond after this episode. ...adding about 2' of water. So, we ARE working below the water line :-)
Just hope it doesn’t rain all the seed will be in the pond. Time is very crucial.
So far so good. We have had several gentle small rains…enough for germination, but not erosion.
Meanwhile, we have the pond totally full now. Some grass underwater and some growing above.
I would've laid that slope back with the mini-x bucket before tilling.
Why? I have worked really hard to get as steep of slope as possible so that I won't have a bunch of shallow water which will grow weeds ...that I can't reach.
Remember...I'm adding 2' more water after this episode.
I missed it… Why is the pond Tidy bowl blue?
THIS LOOKS GREAT! Treating Our Pond Water.

Daily doubtables with Dave? Right, like they don’t use metric on the moon? Isn’t that what he said?
Yep!
Manual labor time 😬
Slow and easy, works most of the time..... 😮😅
Have any thoughts on John Deere no longer being made in USA ?
plenty of thoughts. Not much I can do.
