- We used the T474 tractor and backhoe to shape and grade our ditch. It still needs fine-tuning, but we are on the right track! @TYMTractorsUSA

its good to see an experienced operator who knows how to properly apply braking on a sidehill in order to keep a straight line
Tony are you self taught with the equipment, or were you an operator for awhile in the military? Is your basic military background maintenance? It is probably in there somewhere Chief. I’m just too lazy to dig it out. Stan here.
I was on dozers and excavators from the time I could walk. Farm work too. At 15 years old, I was running a D7 Cat for a summer job. Running equipment is in my blood. I was a maintainer all my Army career, but I always ended up running equipment along the way.
Awesome Channel brother, I am a brand new tractor owner for the first time and I am loving your videos
I appreciate you saying so!
Beautiful example of loader and backhoe operation Tony.
Thank you. It was a fun day.
I been watching your channel for about 6 months. I came across it while researching tym tractors. Watching your work has given me ideas how to do my jobs. For years all I had was an old Ford 2 N with basic implements. Now I've got a couple more toys and getting a ton of work done, so I appreciate your vids because I really didn't know how some of the stuff works.
I don't suppose you ever made a video of smoothing out a steep hillside? I have to build a leech field on a hillside that was too steep. So I had 75 tons of sand trucked in and I'm trying to get a smooth shallow slope vs the steep roller coaster slope I currently have.
Thanks for the vids!
Bull Frog, Thank you for your comment. That means a lot. I built a pond with an old 9N and a pond scoop about 25 years ago. I came home on leave from the Army and was put to work on the farm ASAP! I loved it. I have done several videos about how to use a box blade. I think they may help. ua-cam.com/video/c00WiAPKli4/v-deo.html
@@TonysTractorAdventure I appreciate your response. A couple of years ago a nice neighbor of mine, an older guy that collects old iron gave me a great deal on a Dearborn scoop. Works great and I moved tons of dirt with it. Them little ford's are tough tractors.
I think I've watched all your box blade vids and got some helpful tips. I'm just having an issue getting rid of the high and low spots. I found dragging on old pallet behind my tractor has helped the situation. I just need to be careful because I can't get traction going up the hill so I am constantly grading and pulling dirt from the top to the bottom.
I guess if it was easy it wouldn't be called work!
Good job Tony keep up the good videos. Hope you get better soon and your wife also👍
Thank you. We are getting stronger each day.
Tony looks good nothing like creating new places to mow. Seems like I’m doing that all the time take care, Ben.
We are clearing land in the woods too. The timber was cut 20 years ago and all the tops were left. What a mess, but we will get there.
Good work, Tony. Pulling up a consistent grade is not as easy as you made it look....especially with a backhoe! A rain shower got me last Saturday doing a drainage project....I just needed about 30 minutes more to finish.
Thank you my friend. It ended up raining for a few days, and I still don't have the other side fixed. I will get to it soon. Thank you for supporting us. I look forward to your comments.
Looks good Tony! 👍 🚜
Thank you. It was a fun day. I hope the rain will let up so I can finish up. We have so much going on.
Another great video! Hope y'all feel better soon!! God bless
Thank you. We are getting better each day. God bless!
Looks great Tony!👍🏻
Thank you. It is getting there.
Nicely done. I look forward to the next one.
Me too. It has been very wet here. I enjoy doing jobs like this.
Looks good I think when you get done things will have good Time flow the ground as well as the water.like seeing your dog he is amazing.thank you for the video and your time.hope you and your wife are doing better
Thank you. We are doing better each day. Gizmo is my buddy. He is laying beside me now.
Enjoy watching you use your tractors Tony, keep up the good work.
Thank you, Bruce. I had fun doing this.
Love the backhoe videos would love to see more. I want one for my Branson.
Thank you. I have a few more backhoe videos on my channel. Branson and TYM use the same backhoe. The hookup is a bit different, but the backhoes are the exact same.
Great job Tony. It's really coming together. Take care and stay safe.
Thank you. I can't wait to get back at it. So many things to do.
Man, that was an awesome job Tony. Looks great. Much better, and once you get it all seeded and grassed over it'll be easy to mow. Hope Tanja gets feeling better soon. We have been missing you two.
I enjoy jobs like this. I will get back to it after the rain. God bless!
Really good work buddy
Thank you
It all looks very professional. As others have committed, having more than one tractor (pc of equipment) is a real blessing at times, enter the T25. I realize you have many things on your plate, but take care of yourself and Tanya. I asked a question in a comment below about your skill set. You are a good teacher Chief.
Thank you Stanley. It is very nice having both tractors, but I think I could get by with either one now we are moving to this location. Still, I don't think I will ever give up either one. I have over 200 hours on the the T474 and already 85 hours on the T25. No breakdowns yet! I may have asked you this already, but were you in the service? I have been hit on the head one to many times, and I answer 1000 comments each week.
@@TonysTractorAdventure Yes. 11B40 then Armor OCS. Retired O5. 6 concussions myself, tractor crazy.
Good deal sir. Some of my best duty was with infantry while stationed at Fort Lewis. I still miss stuff about the Army. I doubt I would recognize the Army nowadays.
Praying for you guys to keep getting better thanks for sharing buddy
Thank you. We are getting stronger each day.
You make it look so easy I'm sure it's not glad yer feeling better always enjoy your videos keeping you both in my prayers for speedy recovery take care and God bless
Thank you for your prayers. I appreciate them. God bless you too, my friend.
Good job achieving anything with the cursed lurgie! Thank you for making and posting this.
Thank you. We are getting stronger each day. I had fun that day.
It's amazing what you can do with the tym ,patience and experience.looks really good tony .me and the little lady are about to move to Lexington off of 200 and start building a place ourselves and we love y'all's vids . Alot of good advice from a godly couple.
Thank you. I appreciate your comments. Good luck.
Since Memorial day is coming.... We are all Thankful for the Service People who have kept USA safe and who had to give up their live for that freedom!!! When you served Tony what Branch and your Rank if you Please???? Thank You all from bottom of our hearts..........
Stan, Thank you so much for thinking of me. I retired as an Army Chief Warrant Officer. I know you mean well, and I am honored you feel that way about me; however, Memorial Day has a special meaning. It is set aside for Service members who were killed while serving. In recent years first responders who perished while serving their communities have been recognized. I am not worthy of this honor, however, some of my friends should be honored Memorial day. God Bless.
Nice job! Inspector too ;)
Yes sir!, Gizmo inspects all work around here.
Nice work
Thank you
Hey Tony, you are still sounding bad, I hope you get better soon!
Mate, I like how the batter is coming together. I think the water will be well drained once its completed and grassed up! 👍
Thank you. I had a good day. I am getting stronger each day. it is raining here, so I hope to get back at this soon.
Excellent work! We're currently suffering from inconvenient little rain storms... BUT it gives me time to catch up on awesome channels like yours!
Thank you, my friend. We have had three days of rain here. It is pushing through today. I have cabin fever.
@@TonysTractorAdventure Same here right now...
I have 3 areas on our 106 acres with this condition. I’ll be out there today grading with the Cat 430 backhoe.
I love doing this kind of stuff.
Nice job
Thank you
Looks good
Thank you. It is not bad for rough work. I can't wait to do the final grade and grass it all.
Great job. Hope you all get to feeling better.
We are feeling better each day. Thank you.
Tony excelente job
Thank you, my friend. It has rained a lot, but I hope to finish this up soon. Thank you for watching.
Looks great. That will be good for mowing and keeping up
So far, it has held up, but it will take a while to grow grass.
Good job!!!🤙
Thank you.
Makes me want to go play on my tractor also
I do have fun out there. Thank you for watching
Good job...
Thank you so much 😀. I love doing this stuff.
Nice work there. Do you have a tiller for the T25 that you could run along the side slope to loosen things up along the same angle you are trying to grade to, like you were doing with the bucket at the end of the video? (never tried running one on an angle like that, would be interesting to see how well it could work...) That would be another advantage to having two tractors, not having to switch rear attachments constantly.
Loved seeing Gizmo laying there watching the backhoe bucket.
I do have a tiller. I will grade with the box blade and then do a light till. I will fertilize and seed at the last.
Geez Tony I hope you guys are doing ok. Missing Tanya in the videos. Hot tea with honey and lemon for your voice. The swale should funnel the water away.
Thank you, Sean. We are getting better each day. I wake up looking forward to heading out to the property.
Looks good. Do you think using a back blade after using the backhoe be better? No matter what you film I enjoy watching.
Yes it will. I will do a final cut with a box blade and then seed.
Looks good would you want to fill that area gravel to keep the drainage working
When I get done, it will be a light slope on both sides. I hope grass will hold it because it is such a low water flow area. It will be even less once the gutters are on the building. I hope to be able to just mow across it all. Time will tell. If not I may make a concrete ditch, so I can just mow it.
nice job. i wouldn't do much more to what you have i looks good to me. i find when you get it that good it's time to stop. the tym tractor is much better than the kubota one i rented it was way to light. i could have done more in 1 hour with a old case back hoe than i did in one day with that piece of junk. take care, be safe and well. hope Tanya will feel better soon.
I still have to do the other side of the barn. I will do a final shaping and then seed.
In the years after I have often thought, maybe I SHOULD have added a BY75 backhoe to my T474?
For us it makes sense because of all the projects ahead. We would spend a fortune on rentals if we had not.
Great work! I’m getting ready to buy either a t474 or a t25. What one would you pick if you could only have one?
That is too hard to say. I have two, because sometimes I go out and help cut logs with a friend. We bring them out with the T474. Some of those logs are a little much for the T25. I use the T25 a lot around the farm. Probably more than the T474. I used the stump grinder with the T25 yesterday. Video soon. Very suprising.
Hi Tony, would taking the teeth off the bucket have made the grading smoother/easier?
Not to me. That clay is hard. I needed the cutting force of the teeth several times.
Hmm . . . . looks like you are fighting gravity. I think you will find that sooner or later gravity always wins. 😒
Gravity always wins. I am not fighting it, I am working with it. I just have to make water run downhill.
@@TonysTractorAdventure I would rather get the surface grade fixed first, then build the structure on top of it. Otherwise you are forever fighting water runoff. You can't make surface runoff do something it doesn't want to do. Just sayin'.
You just have to figure out how to make water do the same thing you want.
Call me if I can help you. Right now is a good time.
You are welcome any time my friend.
