Could Not Get The Job Done! John Deere 3046r Struggles To Move Rocks 

That Poor little Tractor got tortured. The Loader bucket HAS to be "Tweeked". The good thing about the 1,2,&3 series ( for the most cases,E series especially ) they are EXTREMELY "light" on their ability to Lift anthing with the Loader.( it saves the Tractor & the user). I am AMAZED they can lift "anthing"... The JD lift cylinders are so "rinky-dinky" small. The John-Deere's are the nicest looking Tractors out there. Remember: Easy does it. Sometimes ya just "NEED a Bigger Tractor".

I’m on 5 acres and I want MORE rock! 🪨 I’m a Landscaper / Hardscaper / Aquascaper / Designer & Installer by Trade. . . But I also do the “Small Farming” / Homesteading thing, PERMACULTURE, as well as LANDSCAPING / BEAUTIFYING the property! I can always enhance it! I wanna landscape it out and have it functional with the permaculture ALWAYS in mind! I’m mixing it ALLLLL into ONE ☝🏽 on my property! Whats a little more weedeating if it LOOKS better!? Or serves a better practical purpose!?? Like rocks stopping people from being able to “accidentally” back into your beautiful GRASS! “Created Natural Areas”. . . Accent Features, Etc. I’m one of those “STAY OFF MY GRASS” 🪧 typa guys, and only 34 yo! But it adds LOTS of CHARACTER to your lawn / landscape! Sounds to me, and please don’t get offended it’s just my observation & YOU’LL know the truth about yourself deep down inside; that you’re a little lazy and don’t TRULY enjoy THE WHOLE PACKAGE of getting out there! You just wanna cut grass and go inside it seems. You WANT it to go “smoothly” but MY FRIEND, THAT’S JUST NOT HOW LIFE IS! Learn to ADAPT and work WITH nature and not against it, basically work what you got and work around things and incorporate it into your plan or design. I LOVE being in my yard doing another project! I wish I could just take off work for about 2-3 years and focus STRICTLY on building my property to what I’ve always dreamt it to be! (It was my childhood home, inherited by me from my Father) 🙏🏽 RIP 🪦 And gonna bring my Dad back here to be buried once I get the County Approval. GIVE ME MORE ROCKS!!!!! I can ALWAYS find another project involving rock, gravel, boulders, sand, soil, dirt, etc. I hate how EXPENSIVE they’ve become trying to buy it even at a discount “landscapers price”. . . They charge an arm and leg these days for NATURE / NATURAL MATERIALS that they’ve likely “stolen off the land” anyways. I’m looking at doing about a 25’ - 30’ x 20’ - 25’ Water Feature in next couple - few months and looking for some nice “clean” rock as we speak! 😅 Everyone’s purpose is different! But if your dream is to have yours completely flat then DO IT!!!!! It’s you spending your life in that yard so do whatever it is that makes YOU comfortable / satisfied / feeling @ home / etc. I want LARGE PATCHES of grass but don’t want my entire 5 acres grass either! I love my trees! Even now looking back at it wish I didn’t cut AS MANY trees down! My Dad would always get on me about “cutting my (meaning his) trees down” 😅 He didn’t want me cutting any and I was going through there cutting out all the bad stuff! Pines, Poplars, & Sweet Gums.

Rarely have one…I don’t make mistakes! (Just joking!!!!) ….more mistakes than I care to show!!!

There is no 3032r

I bought a 3043D and it will not lift a tote of firewood. I have looked at purchasing larger lift cylinders from hydros plus but I don’t want to void my warranty. Tim what can you tell me about increasing the lift cylinder bore size ?

@@michaeloglesby7866 I think you need a larger tractor.

@@TractorTimewithTim I have been looking at 4 series or possibly a Kubota

@@michaeloglesby7866we have some 4066r vs L6060 comparison evaluation. Not in depth, but a good place to start.

You would be surprised.

LOL Most likely. @@TractorTimewithTim

No

…but they are still in business.

@@TractorTimewithTim compact tractors is not their financial base. One million dollar tractors and combines is why John Deere is successful. I grew up with a love for John Deere but as far as compacts go I believe their are way better choices for a lot less money. I was looking at the 4 series but 40 to 50 grand for a small tractor seems crazy to me but I'm not a guy with money pouring out my pockets.

@@musicgroopie1look at Jd’s financials. They get a significant portion of their revenue from compact tractors. There are cheaper…not better

Thanks for continuing to check!

@@TractorTimewithTim Yep don’t wanna miss any of your videos Merry Christmas and happy New Year to you and your family

I'm still subscribed, notifications are on, not getting them though. I have to keep checking.

I thought it was clear…the house will be (or has been) demolished.

The house is being destroyed for new business and other development.

@@TractorTimewithTim Ah, I was wondering if that was the case since it looked like they had stopped trimming weeds around the house.

He had sold this house…hence the weeds growing up…and the buyer bulldozed the house after purchase. So no one cared about the weeds.

I didn’t .

Nearly impossible. If you thought through the logistics, you would get it. Hint. 5075e is a FULL LOAD for my trailer by itself.

Not moving rocks like this.

Uh, I DID. Clearly showed in the video why I could not do that with this one.

Finding something that a tractor won’t lift is not a failure. It is a fact.
