Nice job! I just knocked out one of these jobs yesterday. They had a new septic system put in, and it was done when the ground was completely mud. I showed up a couple weeks later and my job was to make the concrete hard clay with 8-10" dried ruts smooth, broadcast some seed, and roll it in. That ground was tough. I love the way your rake smooths out the tilled soil. The more you use it the more I want to add one...lol. Thanks and feel better!
With 8-10” dry clay ruts. Well, you had your work cut out for you! Thankfully my area I rarely see soil like that. The TR3 Command (hydraulic rippers) is a tool I can’t live without. Thankfully i haven’t had to yet, but if i need to smooth out dry clay ruts I would first use the TR3 to knock down the soil. Before abusing myself and the rototiller. 8-10” clay ruts just sounds like a trip to the chiropractor! But we can’t always get the gravy jobs. Usually we get called AFTER the project went full potato 🤣 Cheers from the Bulldog 🍻
@@BulldogTractor Ha ha, yeah I definitely was in the clean up role on this one. I just tilled first and it went surprisingly well. It was definitely a rough ride on the first pass, but I split the width and overlapped about 2 feet as I went, and by the time the first pass was done it looked 80% better already. Just dropped the bucket and skidded the front end a couple times when my front tires dropped in. I gotta say, tillers are WAY tougher than people give them credit for. I've tilled in 1-1.5" saplings on hill sides for food plots, taken on baked-hard ruts like this, broken through hard packed clay, I've been hard on them for sure with the understanding that I might go through them faster than your average homesteader. Truth is over the last few years, the tillers take the abuse and go right on tilling. The tines actually hold up quite a while too. I'm thoroughly impressed. I had a 60" Titan for the first few years on my 1025r, which was a little more than I should be using but it was all that was in stock in mid-2021. I sold that last winter and got a Tractor Basics 48". Much better fit, but both perform great and are on the low-end price wise. Like TTWT has said, you'll love whatever tiller you get. They're great tools.
I feel for you and the allergies. Great work!
Thank you! Pollens have been crazy lately! Cheers 🍻
Great job as usual. Cheers 🍻
Thank you! Appreciate the continued encouragement! It’s a grind, and I thank you for keeping me motivated!!
